Just nailed a FF variant pack. Not only did I feel the accomplishment of finding a super wanted set of mine, but I also took it away from a complete detriment to my local nerd community. Turns out he started working there and informed me that he wish I didn't find his hidden treasure, after he unboxed it he stuck it behind some random toys on the other side of the aisle. It felt good to see his face after he insisted that he checked us out at his register.

Got my order in, hoping for the best.

Thought I would share here since you dudes are cooler than most of the costuming forum folks. Here's my first finished accessory for my Red Son Batman costume. The material frayed a bit when I cut it, so I still need to do some minor careful trimming, but I am also going for the haggard steel look. I can't find a reference pic, but hopefully a few of you have read the series. Whad'ya think?

Just don't call him late for lunch! ZING!!!........... ::crickets:: Welcome.

Those are so banging, can't wait to track a set down.

Anywhere from 500 to 1500. Depends on who made the mold and how accurately you accessorize. I would say 80% of the 501st stormtroopers use the lower end TK kits, that way you can have more fun without worrying about damage.

Nope, we are animated style clone commanders. As far as the store bought Stormtrooper sets. They are made by a really crappy licensed costuming brand called Rubies. They are over priced and look like garbage when stood next to most 501st members. As far as the black guy thing goes, it may either be due to my signature, which was taken from an awesome "black dude" shirt I saw, or it might be my large penis. Either way, that's awesome. A little bit of both. There are a few "underground" parts makers. Generally people that have time, tools and parts at their disposal that will mass produce a few runs of basically giant model kits. Which are pretty much just uncut ABS vacu-formed molds. Then it's up to you to figure out how to size it and put it together. Most of the soft parts are either hunted and gathered or hand made, or they used to be. Also, here ya go. (Not one to hate on nerds, but that hotel room smelled SOOOOOO bad.) (Guess that was the dude that does Ben 10's voice. He lost his mind when he saw us.) (Hanging with Ray Park at FCBD 2010, he was a cool ass dude.) And because I can't deny it, she has a great ass. Man, don't let that bring ya down. Of course, I am not promoting un-healthiness or anything. But if it makes you happy, just do it, everyone else can suck it.

Sure man, what set were you wanting to do?

Was just kind of curious if anyone does any kind of costuming (non Halloween kind). My wife and I have been a member of the 501st for the last few years, unfortunately last year we had to sell our sets after some money problems. Now we are getting into comic book costumes. She currently has a Wonder Woman and I am working on a Red Son Batman. Just thought it would be cool to see if anyone else is into this kind of hobby. Here's some pics. My Stormtrooper My Sandtrooper with a few of my buddies. My Commander Cody and my wife's Scout Trooper, posing with Tom Kane (Yoda, Magneto, Scrubbing Bubbles commercial etc.) And my friends and I as the Clone Commanders. Here's my wife's Wonder Woman costume, and me making sure creeps don't sneak pictures of her butt....

My buddy and I were 70's drug dealer's. I'm on the right, and yeah...that's a real handlebar mustache.

Gratz on the ding!

Rhino!! Kind of want a Strong Guy too... And a partially (but not as big as Hulk/Juggs) Colossus.

Diamond Select Toys: Joshua, I'm pretty sure that was planned before the contest. But great minds think alike. And sorry the pics aren't up to snuff. More next week. I call shenanigans! GIVE JOSH HIS CREDIT!

I would rather have a proper Luthor Manning Deathlok the Demolisher before some X-Force variant. A trillion times YES! Deathlok is one of those one-and-done characters that would really compliment the existing Marvel stuff AND is a great 70's classic character. I'm actually surprised we haven't seen him, as he's both a real curveball yet a complete natural choice for a minimate. I just haven't found Dethlok an interesting character until he popped up in UXF....but then again I'm kind of an Uncanny X Force fanboy...

Would love to see an uncanny xforce styled dethlok

Happy with it...white batons though?

Sad town

Sorry to disappoint, I'm just really into older women. If everything's not hanging down to the floor, I'm not interested......and I mean EVERYTHING.

Yay I was right for once!

Does anyone know if this figure is still available? http://marvel.com/archangel I know the offer says until January 31st. It also says however, limited amounts. Just wondering if anyone is in the know. Thanks.

I'm excited either way. I just hope there are some granny panties under one of them square skirts.

I see a skirt!!!!! COME ON AUNT MAE!!!!!!!...Definitely (someone) holding a newspaper on the right. Maybe Mariah Hill with the pistol on the left?.....maybe not.....you guys are better at these.

Didn't see a topic for this, but I might be wrong. Anyway, just saw that AFX posted their NYCC exclusive pack. Aside from the head or headpool or whatever they're calling the zombie-verse DP, I think this is kind of a ho-hum set....even though I'll buy the hell out of it.

I ruin mine....sexually.
