I only just now discovered BrickLink, and wow. So much stuff! If you're looking for a stand-in for Ch'od's buddy Cr'reee, you could do a lot worse than this Lego white rat accessory:

Thanks Trev! Jimmy's one of my favorites too. His nemesis Yellow Claw might land on my list too, if I can I rev up my decal game. But this batch of customs, and the next, are all QC or paint-only.

Thanks Padrino! I have plans for a more action-oriented version of Val, but this one (and Nick) were based on this appearance in NFAOS: You can't really see it in the pic, but she has the black choker. I am also going to experiment with a tiny white rubber band for her headband, just ordered a batch from Amazon.

Double-posting this from Customs, only because they're mostly QCs:

I was inspired by reading the entire SHIELD omnibus, the old Strange Tales days, pre-jumpsuits and all G-Men looks. (And yes, "Company Men" is a bit sexist given the inclusion of Val). Gabe, Dum Dum, 2 Fury looks (with trench coat alts), Val (suit look), Jimmy Woo, Jasper Sitwell, and Tony Stark as he appeared in the very first ST issue featuring SHIELD.

Ha, I was hoping not to have to reveal it. My ASCII-esque aspirations were thwarted by forced line breaks, so I was going to pivot to the following chimeric emoji abomination: 😜 🦾 ⏹️🦾 🦿🦿

Boom goes the dynamite! 💥 "Company Men" is the code for the wave. So I guess I better get off my ass and take photos tonight...

Ha! I'm no BHM with the puns, sadly. And N was a good guess! __ __ m __ a n __ M e n Hangmate: _/\_

Ah, getting closer... __ __ m __ a __ __ M e __ Hangmate: _/\_

No R! Two legs! __ __ __ __ a __ __ __ e __ Hangmate: _/\_

Ha. Those would certainly close a certain set out quite nicely. Does that mean that your next 3D project may be a ship that is designed to drop other ships in hostile locations?

Freaqualizer buys a vowel! __ __ __ __ a __ __ __ __ __ Hangmate: _/

Nope! I guess that means one leg? _/

Pics soon of what I might call a "potboiler" wave for its ludicrous simplicity. With the exception of some minor acrylic color. After that, I need to get much better at painting. I'm looking into all sorts of stuff I swore I'd never do, like model paints, wet palettes, brush techniques... it's a sickness. Ah well. (this next-next wave is also "QC" in that it's decal-free, but it requires much more paint than I'm accustomed to) But for the potboiler, maybe it'll light a fire under me to get those pics done and edited if we play a game? I dunno. All my custom groupings have a code name. The Howlers were "Wah-Hoo." Let's play hangman: __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

This is some really impressive work.

I will re-post that it looks like the Heroes set sold out on Hasbro Pulse, which I hope is a good sign. The villains haven't sold out yet, but I'm curious about why packaged images weren't included? I personally love the throwback TSR-style packaging.

Yeah! I finally got one! But don't worry, I won't be a prick about it.

On the subject of frogs, Leap-Frog did appear in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (edit: and technically also Saracen, El Aguila, Porcupine, Man-Bull, Mr. Immortal and the Wrecking Crew) Leap-Frog, Man-Bull and Porcupine would all require some non-standard parts.

I hear Thor was mostly Norwegian, but a tad Polish. But you shouldn't believe anything I say -- I am fibbing us.

You'll croak?

Khonshu fits the bill. Also: Scarlet Scarab was a dude in the comics.

Hmm maybe we need a hint -- in what specific year did the character appear in a MCU project? That could help narrow it down. Guessed so far: Shang-Chi, Attuma, Sersi, Clea, Hellcat, Shuma Gorath, Pip the Troll, Arishem (Celestial), Uatu, High Evolutionary, Starfox, Gilgamesh, Starhawk, Eternity, Zeus, Cosmo, Martinex Guessed without confirmation: Swordsman, Supreme Intelligence Oh wait wait wait... Fenris Wolf?

Supreme Intelligence?
