Mystery Man

Anybody else not like the TOS Scotty hairpiece? I've tried since the figure was released in 2007 but I just can't stand it. Tried and tried to find an alternative for that look to no avail.

I'm curious as to what you're going to do with them all.

When series come out that I like (classic comics), I tend to purchase the Hell outta them to show my support for the type of product I like. Plus, I like having spares just in case one breaks several years from now when they're expensive on the secondary market. Lastly, I like to support Luke's store.

They do not. Different yellows, very different blues. This wave's Wolvie uses colors that mimic Marvel's printing colors at the time.

Greatest Hits Wolvie is a closer match for TRU 22's Wolvie, according to Barry, but I'm sure you've tried that.

Thanks very much for the info! I'm still getting TWO custom cases, so rest assured your news wasn't all-bad. 

Raise my rent! Those witches look superb!!

Yeah!

As soon as I can find these in my area I'll be trying to help out board (bored) members.

Its ironic in a non-humorous way that a store with more branches than TRU is giving even bigger headaches than TRU.

And I'll second, third, fourth the surprise I have that we've not gotten the rest of the Inhuman Royal Family. But unlike the much-wanted characters we've gotten animated versions of to tide us over, I really hope that we'll get some bright, colorful, classic Kirby versions of the family.

I was trying to find control art for both, but I will just ask. I do not have them, I did not take those shots, Barry did.

Thank you very much. Regardless, I just ordered 2 custom cases from Luke... so it's not like ya aren't getting my dough!

Hey Zach!

Asked a couple times but it's a busy thread so I'm sure you missed it. 

Does this Wolverine and the TRU 22 one use the same yellows and blues?

Thanks!

I don't watch the cartoon, so I didn't know that. 

Now my heart breaks.

I meant 69, since 68 is largely already-made characters (and yes, looks).

Just pointing out that we don't just roll our eyes at requests for classic characters and ignore them. We take them to heart. BUt the new characters and looks are also exciting. Scarlet Spider wants Whizzer AND Kamala Khan, which I think runs the gamut.

Noooo, no, no, no... I wasn't implying you were rolling your eyes at all! You guys have been great!

I just worry I'm part of an ever-growing minority that should stop chiming in.

Huzzah!! Thanks, I musta missed that.

You know we just planned a whole wave of classic stuff, right?

Is that based on a real thing? I'd rather see a Cosmic Hulk.

And we're making Speed Demon, by the way.

Do you mean series 68/69 (I'm dying for 'em!) or something else entirely?

Woo! Speed Demon!!

They'd be perfect if we ever got a Hela minimate...

You're not alone, I'll take more classic stuff over modern costumes any day. Classic Falcon is perfect example. I know that there are good updated costumes, but I would rather have first appearance or an early updated costume first (I'm looking at you green skirt Jean Grey).

Me too! Gimme the swell original stuff that everything was built from first. Because those classics don't go away. 

I bet I'm the only person ever who wants a minimate of Lord Vashti, the Elder. 

Best I've seen is a restock of two sets of series 2.

My heart LEAP when I saw new product... then SANK when I saw it wasn't 2.5. 

With Hastings getting no new stock, I'm SOL with the Direct Market stuff. If anybody scores any glowing Pumpkin King's, Mrs. Finklestein's or Melting Men they don't want I'd be happy to take them.

I meant that must be why the SHOW went with Speed Demon for the Squadron. We have no plans to stop, so aside from us trying to be show-current, there's no reason for us NOT to make Whizzer. Ask DST! He's a classic character we've never made, and he'd be a good substitute for collectors to make the original comic Squadron, if a bit aged.

Sometimes I worry that I've become the crank that always writes in asking for more classic comic stuff and probably gets some eye rolls around the office and then ignored... ?

Not a knock against you guys... I just fret. 

 Nothing severe, but I swapped out the torso and waist riser on Man-Thing for a NBX pumpkin king Jack.  I really like how it fits and doesn't come apart at the waist now, since the peg goes further up into the torso which is now a solid piece. At some point I'll likely paint it but for now it's an easy fix.

Prior to the Squadron showing up? That might explain why they went with Speed Demon!

Really wish we could get Whizzer. Damn, damn, damn.

Found some of 'em in Delaware today.  Picked up the Nighthawk set; he's SO CLOSE to being perfect, but the tampo'd rather than sculpted mask is a bummer.  The cape is really cool, though.

Boop:

Really tried to to like the slip on full masks but that just won't cut it for this guy.

I think the first Polaris is still pretty good 

Agreed. Gimme green skirt Jean and the team from that era... throw in Polaris if ya must. 

I'm hitting the Walgreens from Austin to San Antonio and everywhere in between. Nooooo diccccccccce. 

I'm guessing using a phone means no more direct picture uploading for me?

I can always go the other route and put 'em on Photobucket!

Man, Indiana Jones 'mates would be outta sight!

Poor Uhura, having to stand for her entire shift. I'm determined to devise a way to let her sit down. 

She's the total opposite of Nichelle Nicols, who was chained to her station during away missions and had to stay behind when they did pick up shots with Shatner as Uhura could be seen over his should behind him. 

Only thing I can think of (and I've thought a lot) would be to paint a NBX Dr. Finklestein's "skirt" red.
