No thanks already have one, how come you getting rid, decided you don't like the figure??

[ukmu]

no, i am keeping mine. A mate just got 2 cases in and is giving me first crack at it. Thought i would share the love and offer him up for a good deal if anyone needed him.

[ukmu]

got our wave 3 Shanna in this morning. Pretty nice figure for what it is. No torso,wrists, thigh, waist swivel...but we knew that.

The left eye isnt that big of deal Jimmy.... cant really see it anyway. The hair is sculpted over the face so no pulling it back. If it really bothers you just paint a dab of yellow over the coner of the exposed socket and it would look like hair and be perfect. That would be MUCH easier than trying to paint half an eye. Honestly, it is hardly noticable unless you're looking at close up pics online.

Have already torn her apart though and am painting her blonde locks black in about three minutes!!! Doing Madame Hydra/Viper head swap tonight and painting Arnim Zola, A true HYDRA figure lovers dream Saturday night. Then the HYDRA army is.......(drumroll).....FINISHED!!!!! Really, no more building that one!!!

I don't believe you, if someone offered you a tonne of HYDRA troops for a bargain you'd definitely still grab them.
But as for my HYDRA, my TWS Skull turned up today to replace the one that went to Sin and Strucker. Then I've just got my Zola base and my Ward body to come. Got the Ward head cast from Vort, but that'll be here in a couple of months. Then, I'll do myself an AoS Madame Masque, possibly a Pierce, then HYDRA's more or less finished.

I would for sure jump when oppurtunity presents itself. I am just at a comfortable army number.It is either 55 or 60 figures, I forgot without looking at my cheat sheat list of figures.

By Durin, you've got practically my whole collection just in HYDRA. You've put us all to shame XD

[ukmu]

I have dropped my phone and the camera doesnt work now. My son lost his Ipod this week. I can not find the digi cam ANYWHERE and the tablets cameras suck ass. Other wise I would take some pics of the Arnim Zola and Madame Hydra.

I will try to figure something out.

But yeah, army building is dumb Jedi. Do yourself a favour and never tread down that path. That said, armies do look cool.

I've never really been one to get multiples for armys sake. Maybe 2 or 3 just to stand behind my heroes, but not on the bloody scale you do -


I prefer to think of HYDRA as just one head (which can be cut off to become 2 haha) with a couple of underlings that then contracts out to Bounty Hunters and assassins.

Red Skull
Baron Strucker Sin Baron Zemo
Arnim Zola Crossbones Grim Reaper Grant Ward Deathlok

Throw in the odd Bullseye here, the odd Taskmaster there, and you've got yourself a terrorist organisation. I suppose you're going for the WWII Facist Power sort of thing

[ukmu]

Red Skull
Baron von Strucker Viper
Baron Zemo
Arnim Zola Hydra Supreme
Crossbones Grim Reaper
Stike Team (elites)
Royal Guards
Spealists
Foot Soldiers

is my breakdown

[ukmu]

those are my favourites!!!!!

Still awaiting flags for them and dogs on leads are on order.

Basically bad ass dudes holding a HYDRA flag and mean dog on either side of the Skull. I will reveal them soon too. The army is sooooo close for being unleashed!!!!

EDIT: give me another 45 days....maybe less. By the start of June it will be ready for the world to see......

Well that sounds pretty damn ominous X'D
My HYDRA should be 90% done by then - just Pierce and Agent 33 left after that

[ukmu]

I had to google Agent 33....she's a looker!!!! XD

I just need to finish the PIT Mobil Command Centre...need to buy a tool to help cut it up as using hacksaw blades is taking FOREVER and killing my fingers! Then finish assembling it all and attaching the landing pad and MECH holding arms. Also attach all the weapons. Might redo Strucker inj a more EMH look with yellow boots and what not. He would match the troops better that way too.

Just got the last 20 assult rifles to deackl out the S.H.I.E.L.D. troops. So just a bit more painting and adding S.H.I.E.L.D. decals and those will be done.

I am actually putting some stuff on hold as about 80 days away from SDCC and around 60 from seeing them pop up on Taoboa. So i will wait until i see what the set is this year.

Pretty much. I don't have either of the two but looking at pics of them, I'd say there's only minor paint differences between them, if there is any at all. None that I can see though.

[Law78]

Cheers fellas

[ukmu]

I have the MU Dark Hawkeye....and studied the MI at Sainsbury's at great length (well about 20 seconds anyway) and from all that I can tell they are indeed the same.

That's great mate, seen a bulk buy I want to get and it has the Dark Hawkeye, but was going to buy the infinite one today and then thought I didn't want to double up.

On another note all you Brits, don't suppose any of you saw Jeremy Renner on Good Morning Britain this morning, (no I'm not a work shy git, my daughter saw it and recorded it for me) anyway just watched his interview and he came across as a bit of douche.
Can't remember how they got onto it but he complemented the Hot Toys characters saying they were really life like, but basically went on and said he was offered one (which you'd automatically think anyway) and he was like, "what do I want one for, what the hell am I gonna do it, I don't know what these guys do with all this stuff that they buy" I saw it as he thinks action figure collectors are sad and maybe fanboys in general, really changed my opinion of him as I was looking forward to seeing him in AOU, I've read he steals the show. Anyway rant over sorry its off topic.

While I'm on the suject UKMU seeing as you're seeing it before me can you let me know if there is an after credit scene, there isn't meant to be one (which I find hard to believe) but I saw the leaked one on you tube the other day and couldn't tell if its real or not, cheers just wanting to know so I don't waste 10 minutes after the end if I don't need to, ha

Well I've always not much cared for Jeremy Renner, and this just worsens my opinion of him. My mum absolutely adores him though, so I can't say a bad word against him in the house.

As for the scene, I believe it's been more or less confirmed to be fake.

Although UKMU, you'll have seen it twice by the time I get to it on Thursday night X'D

[ukmu]

STOP watching the leaks.....staying in the theater waiting is the BEST part of seeing the whole film!!!!!! It is ther crescendo of the experiece!

Y'all got anymore o' them solid Visions?
I've never particularly liked that figure. Good paint job I suppose, but on a terrible buck.
I guess it's just the allure of owning such a rare figure
