  1. I was wondering if Molten Man will be translucent myself. I figure the water pieces on Hydro Man will be and I figure the flame pieces will be translucent but my thoughts drifted to using an extra Molten Man parts for a body for an Elixir custom if the parts are actually gold.
  2. I stopped by the Walgreens in Rochester, MN about a month ago and found the BC Avengers wave and picked it up. Stopped by a week later and bought up some older packs sitting around to trigger a restock, left like 5 Ragnarok packs on one of the 4 pegs in the store for minimates. Stopped by a week later and nothing new. Stopped by today and still nothing... Just the same 5 Thor packs sitting surrounded by 3 completely empty pegs... It's infuriating how these waves are being handled. Last wave the store has had is 6. Never seen a sign of wave 7, 8, 9, or 10. It's like Walgreens doesn't want my money.
  3. Based on Zach's responses, Wave 77 solicited in January and this box set solicited in December. The box set is a Marvel Movie theme and Wave 77 is unknown but suspected to Spider-verse themed.
  4. I really want to know how that Cerise head dress was made. That thing is amazing!
  5. It seems like it's got to be Martel but I thought he wrestled for WCW up until it's demise... Then again WCW had about 40 guys that were never on TV for week after week.
  6. Found this today and I think it's been discussed before... Would this work for a zabu or be too big? https://www.amazon.com/PLAYMOBIL®-Caveman-Sabertooth-Tiger-9442/dp/B076799TLJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1541081334&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=playmobil+tiger Tempted to pick it up and see.
  7. No need to be kind... By all means, spoil away for us who didn't get Stature or missed out.
  8. Sorry meant for the base to hold the wings. Sorry that was so confusing. The base that the wings attach to is black and yellow and will hold the insect wings he's using perfectly.
  9. If you are willing to paint some small bits here and there: For the gloves and boots, Ultimate Nova and paint a couple small black stripes on the gauntlets. Hair and googles, painting a trimmed Pyro head would probably be best. For the Wings I'd use Angel from the X-Men First Class box set.
  10. Wow! Those look great. What parts did you use for that Nate Grey? Looks like a lot of repainting.
  11. If it's Starjammers/Royal Guard give me at least one male and one female Shiar for army building (D'Ken and Lilandra?), Gladiator, Deathbird, Fang (with alt Wolverine head), Corsair, Cho'd, and Vulcan. I'll buy at least two full sets and probably 3 or 4 more two packs of the army builders...
  12. Been thinking a new thread for that may be in order? Keep a separate list of what people have and what people are looking for?
  13. Over in the SDCC 2018 thread Zach acknowledged the issues Walgreens has had with all waves sharing a SKU and seemed to imply that they are working on getting mates available on the website. That said it sounds like it may also take time as Walgreens just bought rite aid stores and is working on improving their website.
  14. It's an alternate universe story involving a version of the Avengers in 1,000,000 BC... The main Avengers are here: And the big purple robot is a Celestial that they fight in the story. So basically alternate versions of Thor, Ghost rider, Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Phoenix, Hulk, and Panther with a Celestial.
  15. It would seem so. The BC, Strange and Ghost Rider sets, and Hammerhead all seem to have come from no where... Like it's been months since we've heard anything regarding sets after wave 76 (out in october) and now here's two new waves boxed and looking ready to hit shelves... Just seems very odd that there's been nearly no info for months and then two Infinity War waves and these that just pop up ready to ship.
  16. What do you use for utility boxes out of curiosity? I use these right now but am always looking for a better option: Plano Storage Bin
  17. Realized I missed a couple when I was going through what I had posted. Here's Primal from Generation Hope: Current-ish Quentin Quire: Grown-up Layla Miller: And to round out my Excalibur/Exiles teams Pete Wisdom and Nocturne:
  18. So I alluded to a project I had been working on and I've hit a wall when it comes to decals... I just can't seem to make my own and get them looking good. I've made it this far on my New X-men team: But I'm simply defeated on decals for Anole, and Rockslides faces. Dust too could use more feminine and sympathetic looking eyes than the ones I'm currently using. I also have Elixer and Mercury parts but need to paint them and again would need decals or stickers for the faces. But yeah decals, can anyone help out or point me in the right direction and get me started
  19. Yep, Nova body, helmet is from First Class Angel boxset, and the gloves and boots are spare parts from the First class boxset and Strike Force wave.
  20. Finally got some spare time work on a few things and decided to take some photos... First up is just a small change to Shadowcat (Sue Storm hand and foot added) and a kit bashed Colossus using parts from all the previous waves to make him more bulky, but not Hulk size. Next is some villains, Tempo, Henry Peter Gyrich, Sebastian Shaw (pretty sure I stole the recipe from someone here a few years ago,) Reverend William Stryker. Still have to paint an Iron Man gauntlet for his Hand of Nimrod. Sometimes I like updating and altering costumes to fit pieces I have and to make them a bit more interesting. So my not quite accurate versions of Sway and Darwin. Sway's comic costume always bugged me with the absurd "boob window" so I got rid of that and decided to put the emphasis on the wrists instead since that's the source of her powers. Darwin gets an old Iceman head and hands mostly because he's always pale in the comics and mostly because I had like 5 spare Iceman heads from a project I'll have pics of later.
  21. Has anyone got there Black Tom? Trying to figure out if mine got lost in the mail or if the weather is wreaking havoc on the postal service.
  22. Wow! That's a perfect match. Thanks for the picture.
  23. Would anyone be able to try something for me? Would some body that has the Surtur and Magma figures be able to tell me how close the two are in color? Been thinking about hunting down the Surtur set to use the crotch piece to make Magma more... magma'y but not sure if the color will be way off or not.
  24. Thanks for the answer Zach! I know it's got to be tough with the uncertainty of the situation with TRU in general. Appreciate the response.
