Moving up, first there's the top shelf with Mags & co. I'll add Scarlet Witch and QS up here once they're available. Some people have remarked about a neck gap on Emma. They're just not fitting the head on correctly. I had the same gap until I adjusted the head to the correct position. Omega Red's other tentacle is still in box, they're removable. I still have a couple that haven't come in yet like Nightcrawler & Blob that still have to find spots. I do have an available shelf at the bottom.
Next shelf there's some of my most favorite pieces from this line. First I absolutely love the Silver Samurai statue. Immediate purchase once that one went up. The swords are removable and can be placed in either hand facing either direction. Sabretooth and Gambit are both equally great. The Endgame Cap was another one I knew I was going to buy as soon as I saw it. Lots of display options with this one. Still need to get the First Avenger statue. Lastly, got the "Marvel" shelf here with Marvel logo bookends. I've got another one over by the MCU movies. Cable & Bishop are very well scaled. The gun on Bishop's back is removable, though no idea why since it can't be held, but it is. They put some really nice metallic blue detail on his boots. Looks great. I had the Deadpool 1:10 over here by Cable (they're companion pieces with matching bases) but moved it onto the Deadpool shelf once I set that up. And that's it for statues for now. Whenever I move next, hopefully it's to a bigger place where I can put out everything else. Anyway, there's only 1 remaining statue from the Sentinel series that I doubt I'll buy and that's Cyclops. Despite my thoughts on the character I still would have gotten it if they'd put him in a decent pose. I have no idea what they hell they were thinking with his pose but I'm taking a pass. There's a few more from this first series that I'm waiting on and most of their new 1:10 statues I'll also be getting. |

Waterslide decals. East as pie to make and apply.
You can get opaque or transparent waterslide decals sheets on eBay for $1 a sheet- and a single 8.5x11" sheet will literally hold a couple hundred emblems this size! Get the emblems you want off Google images and place/shrink them in any graphics program. Get the Laser decal sheets- then have FedEx or Office Depot print your file on the sheet. Then it applies like any model kit waterslide. OR you can buy the SHIELD emblems off ebay from various sellers- Even in metallic silver! |

Decals from my printer cut out and placed...
May not be for all but these computer paper printouts cut to fashion works for me. Just a few examples... |

Any time- PM me if you have any questions about it. Once you do it, it's amazing how much stuff you'll realize needs a custom decal!
Crazy stuff- like a friend of mine going all "Nascar" with his Aliens APC- he's adding fictional logod from everything: Weyland Titanic, Incom, OCP, Stark Enterprises, etc. Should look hilarious and lethal. I've seen people make Deadpool's scooter with all the "Akira" decals for the 1:18 figure. Regarding your AMAZING statue collection, have you tried fixing Archangel's wing with a hair dryer and ice water? After building lots of resin models, I know how frustrating a bent part can be- particularly when it was expensive!

I love waterslide because I can get the decal (with a bit of Decal Set) to confirm exactly to recessed surfaces- like tank armor- so it appears painted on. Been thinking about making the Earth X Machine Man from a clear Bossfight figure and decals to simulate his interior bits.

They look amazing- I wouldn't have thought they were print outs!

The only thing I don't like about self printing is it wastes a lot of paper & uses a lot of ink. That's why I stopped but if I can get decent results like yours with the mod podge I'll try it on a one off and see how I like it. |

These were a total manufacturing & QC failure. How those got sent out from the factory without a final check of the packing foam is beyond me. I'm just glad I could fix the replacement. My original was so warped there was no fixing it. I bet Sideshow is getting a sizeable credit with Iron Studios for this. |

A friend offered me some of that stuff. Reminds me I need to swing by and pick it up. Thanks. Is it like a glue?

Well I picked up the mod podge. No immediate usages for it, but just a matter of time.

Started in with Secret Warriors after finishing DD MKnights. It was a very short read. Like half the book is bonus stuff. Loved the Echo intro though, coincided nicely with her debut on the Hawkeye show.
And in other omni news, just bought the Shield Omni for a great price (below retail cover) for such an old and oop book. Should be in early next week. And I'm still waiting on my BF purchases from CGN, just the MU Handbook and What If v1. Neither I'm overly anxious to get, but still... |

Go! See!! No Way Home!!! (If you safely can of course.) I've seen it twice and I might go again on Monday. It's an amazing movie (no pun intended).

Man that old SDCC Tobey Spider-Man figure is impossible to find, not a single one on Ebay even.

I have seen Toby Headcasts on the generic Marvel Universe Spider-man figures and it looks just fine, especially given the differences in the costumes of the other two. So I would recommend saving yourself some time, hassle, and funds and just go with the generic figure. |
