    That's mighty nice. It's great to see a little X-Men love, especially now that Marvel has forsaken them.

    G.I. Kre-O, Kre-O, MegaBloks CoD and LEGO discussions

    Based solely on the height of the figures, Lego guys scale ~1:41 (so 1:43 would be pretty close for display purposes), and CoD figures scale ~1:34 (1:32 or 1:35 being the closest standard scales). Both types of figures are disproportionately wide though, so if you're trying to stick them...

    Dark Horse MotUC customs

    I have nothing to say. Each one is more impressive than the last. I wish I had that much customizing talent! Keep 'em coming.

    G.I. Kre-O, Kre-O, MegaBloks CoD and LEGO discussions

    No question the COD sets are solid. I still have the blackhawk and little bird to build. The Abrams is boss.

    Herb Trimpe passes

    Legendary comic book artist Herb Trimpe has passed away, age 75. Known as a co-creator of Wolverine, the guy worked on nearly every major character at some point. I would guess that most of us here got to know his work through early issues of the original Marvel GIJoe series, and he penciled...

    AngelForge updates

    I am so looking forward to the Cobra chef head/torso and the Dr Appel set. Really, that's just too much fun.

    Marvel Infinite 2015

    Yeah, the Lizard from that era was pretty good (not greatest articulation, but proper scale and decent sculpt), and that's also where the MU Rhino originated first, IIRC. I'm amazed that they have new stock of those still floating around. It has been quite a while. EDIT, I have that Doc Ock...

    Timothy Olyphant head?

    I know I could find something generic that would work better than Tatum... but I was hoping that Timmy's badassery would have prompted someone to have already made a good melon to look out from under a tiny Stetson.

    Timothy Olyphant head?

    Ha! Deadwood didn't end... it just stopped. :grumpy: I figured that one of the resident castOrs would have made one by now, especially Giga. Timmy has had two major badass Marshall tv roles, in addition to playing smartass cops in several movies. Seems like he'd be on somebody's...

    Timothy Olyphant head?

    Anyone know of a good head sculpt for this guy? I'm in bad need of a Raylan Givens custom, which should translate easily into a Seth Bullock custom as well. The guy is a badass of the nth order, reminds me of Eastwood in his prime. I'm so sad that Justified is ending... the same way I...

    Marvel Infinite 2015

    Yeah, I have that head sculpt on it's previous BW release, and it's not all that. It's better than MU Psylocke or Phoenix, but it's marginal at best (comically massive lips anyone?). Add to that, it's a movie sculpt of a famous actress, and it's not like you can use it for customs without them...

    No question. I dare anyone to find a 4" female figure with a better face sculpt. I certainly haven't seen it. Shanna Original Teela Original Covergirl generic Bond girl ... and that's without changing the hair color. Lots of brunette possibilities as well.

    That Shanna has so many possibilities. I'm going to collect her like she was Professor X.

    Marvel Infinite 2015

    Unless you plan to cut them off and drill a tiny hole, you'll never know. AI Beast doesn't have wrist articulation of any kind. Most of the others don't either. Only hawkeye and daredevil b/c they use older sculpts :(

    Marvel Checklists

    That is just so sad. Recognizing that we are not the intended market for these, overall, I feel like action figures are regressing, and they seem to be doing so at an alarming rate. There was a time not so long ago that I would stock up on a figure for customs, and a year or two later, they'd...

    I can see that too... but I still think it's Joe Montana ;)

    Awesome, I see my order! Quick question: what's the difference between NC205 & 206? It's a cool head, and I assume it's supposed to be Liam, but every time I look at it, I see Joe Montana. It makes me want to do a Niners dio ;)

    No, HTS has listings for them. Only the double-packed blue beast and regular sandman are in stock.... and that hideous Tron Spidey that nobody wants. Sandy sandman, black cat, Bishop... all a big tease. I had the opposite reaction. I want a blue Beast that isn't screaming all the time.
