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:

You hit the sweet spot for me here, elhonez!

I'm a big fan of early SHIELD, so a lot of these characters I'm happy to see. Especially James Woo! He's one of my favorites!

 

Great job, my friend. 

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.

Can we see what the hanged man would have looked like if bhm wasn't so smart? And get to work you. LOL

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!

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!

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?
