do u have tha whole set? i got 2 of each except tha black

Everything but the Black Lantern ring. Not too sure if there is one....

*takes a quick look on amazon*

Oh, sonofagun, there is one. Amazon's got it for 2.99. Not bad. I spent 7 bones for the set I got:
Green
Indigo
Blue
Violet
Yellow
Orange
Red

It's possible the Black one is damn hard to find, like the Green.

yeah tha black one was tha first one they put out, then when tha green one came around, i guess they came out in smaller numbers

Then, bend it into the position you want and hold it that way as it cools. Sometimes, it'll take repeated efforts, with the bend becoming more and more permanent each time. If you're REALLY careful, you can hold the figure directly over a burner on a stove (not gas, no flame) but again, this takes precision because you don't want the plastic to hit the burner and melt flat.

This also works with a hair dryer.

Ah, yes, you're married.

Good call, though, never thought of that.

Heh. That's funny because it's true. Were I not married, no way in hell would I ever own a blow dryer.

Actually I take that back. I would but one explicitly for customizing figures, I'm sure.

Boiling water for at least 30 seconds. Make sure the faucet is running in the sink with cold water. Take it out of the boiling, bend it, immediately run it under the cold water.

That'll help it stay when it goes back to room temp.

All this tlak of custom tricks make me ache to get back to work on my Noh-Var.

the green on is the only one i have.

lol, pretty sure thats tha same method we used to mold our mouthpieces for football

Exactly!

The announcement of Archangel, Juggernaut, and Ms. Lion at Toy Fair finally pushed me over the edge. Besides, I was going to get ML Warpath for 25 bucks and only have one member of X-Force. Now I have two members for 19, and Maverick, who I never could've had otherwise.

I'll be sticking to 90's era X-Men, current X-Force, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, and whatever villains I feel like.

For some reason, Photobucket won't let me upload from my work computer anymore. It appears to do it successfully, but there are no results. Upload a picture into an empty album, and while it the upload process looks the same as it always does, the end result is that the album is still empty. So, things pile up, because I don't have time to crop, resize & upload from home during the work week...

Iron Man 2 Mighty Muggs:


Matchstick, Commander Bly, Hondo Ohnaka & Aayla Secura:

They're still in their packages, because I recently took down my Clone Wars display (for the time being). I still need one more from this wave before I can send in for Nahdar. What sucks is, that all the other figures with the sticker on the bubble, I already have. I need to find the AT-TE Tank Gunner/Driver, as he's the only one that wouldn't be a duplicate of a figure, considering he could be troop built.

Enchantment Under The Sea Lorraine & Calvin "Marty" Klein:


T1000s & Sarah Connors:


It really fucking blows that DCUC prices are going up, but thank you Target for continually stocking old waves. It's made attempting to catch up so much easier...Commander Steel, Mr. Terrific & Aquaman:

Big Barda:

Completed Atom Smasher:


Finally picked up a Sideways:


Unfortunately, there's no "Get Sliced in Half by Sideswipe" action feature...

Movie-Style Lockdown:



Movie-Style Brawn:


He transforms with his guns IN HIS HANDS!!!

Skystalker:


A "companion" to Mindwipe. His jet mode actually plugs into the top of Mindwipe's:

Note the holes on the roof:

Skystalker's back "landing gear" are simply just two pegs - which were sculpted to fit Mindwipe's holes! (Sounds dirty...)

He's like his little sidekick!
Someone on another board "combined" them:

I'm still trying to figure out if there's a better way than just fitting him between parts on MW's back...

Last, but certainly never least:

ARCEE!!! (I took the wings off [they're removable], because this looks more "Geewun"...)
I had to have a friend find her for me, because I still haven't even seen Cybertron Ratchet in stores yet (they shipped together). Fuck you, store-exclusives. I'm still on the lookout for Lee.

She is badass, and I pray they release Rodimus Minor. (Though, if you look, on the inside of her left thumb - stress mark. She was like that out of the package. I'd heard about it, and was extra careful transforming her, but it's like she was put into the packaging like that. I shaved down one of the notches on either sword handle. While they're now kinda loose in her hand, I'd rather have loose swords forever, than tight swords now & no thumbs later. Also, her lips came the same color as her face, so I painted them.)
And! And!!

SHE HAS A TRAMP STAMP!!

DC Universe Classics Darkseid.

The simple fact that I JUST completed Kilowog, and I've only 2 pieces for Giganta, and you have a completed Darkseid makes me fucking IRATE at Mattel's release schedule for DCUC.

Don't hate. I bought a case wholesale to sell, then ended up building him and falling in love. I'm still probably going to sell him someday, but for now he's mine.

Love those three movie style figures, and that Tramp Stamp is TOO funny. You KNOW someone did that intentionally.

Boom!



And some fun ones.

Seriously, how awesome is he?

Knew you would cross the line someday. Now you can have CS Snake Eyes Team up with X-force. Let me know if you need anything to catch up. I don't like the Hammer wave wolverine, I honestly believe it was orignally supposed to be beast but they changed midway through, but I can get sunfire and Jean Grey pretty easy. And Wolverine Origins Cyclops and Ice Man.

i hear you. i have only a few peices to darkseid. but he isn't going to be a darseid when i am done with him

TENIME_art wrote:Seriously, how awesome is he?

He's fantastic. That he can be both "easy" to transform and yet sport TONS of new innovations in its transformation is amazing.

I also got my ROTF Bruticus in and while he's definitely better than the pics made him out to be, it's not worth taking pictures of until the Fansproject upgrade comes out... Then it will be a thing of beauty. SO beautiful.

Get on it!

I'm not big on Green Lantern, or John Stewart in particular. While I'm loving Blackest Night, it's not actually making me like the GL's, it's just a great story. Kind of like Bru's Daredevil. I loved reading it, but after the fact, didn't give two shits about DD (of course, now I'm back to reading it). Point is, this John Stewart is just TOO GOOD to pass up. Anyone want Kilo's left arm?

Also, as you can see, the MU madness rolls on. I found a Wal-Mart where they're all marked down to $5 apiece, so I'm hoping to find more that I want there, though I think Jean's the only other one currently available that I'm really looking for.
