I had been trying to find a good way to add a harness that would allow a standard mate to carry a sword on his back. Generally speaking I prefer the standard sized mates to the bulked up chest pieces. Anyways, here are some results. I took a harness from the Secret War Captain America, with the silver belt from the same minimate as a back pack and it allowed me to put Vorin's sword and sheath on the back.

i cannot wait for wave 60 to come out. it'll be nice to have official Banshee and Morph's, and of course Forge and Cecilia. I'm about out of room on the Avenger's display, though. i think i'm going to put a 4th row up top, and move all of the flyer's who aren't in the center up there. i thought it was kind of cool how i had the center row set up, and all but one of them are now in an upcoming movie.

i scored a new Nightcrawler, so i finally caved under the pressure from my roommate and made an Excalibur display. it's a little basic, but i didn't want to make anything much larger for just the 5 of them. i actually want to add a couple small things to it before it's done, but here it is so far...

also, since i knew i was making a trip to the place that prints stuff for me, i decided to spruce up my Phoenix Five display and added the flame boarders. i got a new Magik sword AND White Phoenix in the same trade that Nightcrawler came with (thanks again, Vicious!), so i was all jazzed up. White Phoenix is replacing Hope, who went back to the Uncanny X-Men display... Phoenix makes just as much sense, right?

and last but not least, my new Guardians display... it's the first movie series of mates i bought, but i figured i've seen the movie twice and i'm not a fan of Bendis, so it makes more sense to get these guys...

honestly, i don't know why dst doesn't make their own displays like these. i feel like they'd be cheap for them, if they made displays similar (but obviously much better) to how i make mine, but they could sell them for like $15-20 a pop... and for displays that have groups that will grow, like X-Men or Avengers, they could sell expansion sets. my Uncanny X-Men set has grown hella over the years, and i'm going to need to add to my Avengers display once we start getting more characters. who do i need to talk to here? lol

sure man... it's still a work in progress, as i'm constantly moving characters around, but here you go. i'm also going to fix the way "Uncanny X-Men" is stuck to the front. that double sided tape has been on there for a couple years and it's not so clear anymore...

my roommate and i just actually came up with a kinda cool idea for an X-Factor display, which up until now i'd never considered because X-Factor Angel is so hard to get. so i'll have that posted some time after Christmas (as i pretty much told my roommate the X-Factor box set is what i want from him lol)
