I made my Morph with the Jim Lee Wolvie (MAN WE NEED MORE OF THOSE ZACH! AND A FEMALE BODY FOR IT!) and then the jacket pieces I got from Civil War Cap , Head from BSG Captain Apollo, and the SPider-Girl Brown swoopy Hair piece. All of this was made possible because IVAN IS THE FREAKING MAN.
Cecil - Where did you get the Jubilee visor from?
Sweet! Thanks for the rundown. I think I may have all of these parts.
Actually I dug him out and made a mistake. The face was from Renfield and the hair I forgot where I got it from. sorry.
-
Crap... I just looked at Sauron's feet. Looks like they are attached and not slip ons like the Thing et.al. No ripped pants for you buddy.
-
I just crouch Wolverine.
I do the same. I just position him in a way his height isn't fully revealed.
Speaking of height, how cool would a 5-10 inch Sentinal minimate be as a convention exclusive? I know they hate to break out of the current scale and I know about MaxiMates but I passed on those because they weren't posable. I only regret it about once a year .

id probably leave it unopened, its a pretty sweet box, i wish i kept mine when I bought it almost 10 years ago. sigh.
I'm a brat and was lucky enough to pick up two one to open and one to leave on a shelf. Personally, I wouldn't open it because for display purposes you can basically get better versions of the team easily Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Colossus. You can mix and merge to get a great Cyclops from 90's Cyclops take off the strap and use the chest piece, legs and face on a Dark Phoenix Cyclops crotch, cowl, and arms and I added new Muties boots and gloves. Original Storm and T-Bird are usually cheap on Ebay. You can also add on Giant Sized X-Men Colossus boots to Outback X-Men Pete if you want him to look larger. Giant SIzed Storm I have wanted to change her head piece for Capcom Storm but the flesh tones unfortunately don't match. Hope that helps.

You're missing Beast!
Also, I hadn't considered making any customs, but I think I may have to make a Morph. Anyone have an idea for the parts list on him in that
pic?

Does it look to anyone else that the space helmet actually fits over the mask on space wolverine?
I also didn't want this set till I saw the tray shoot....... damn it!
I agree. I was planning on buying this set before just to have unopened but now I actually want a space army... I wish they had released this figure seperately!

Nice - i'd love to see pics of those sometime. I've got the whole line-up of SHS. I was lucky enough to find Storm & Rogue pretty close to when they first came out on eBay. I paid inflated, but not totally insane prices. They are currently filling in as X-Babies with my ML Mojo.
I'm pretty sure there's a Jim Lee Jean Grey coming soon in the Legends range, but with Hasbro's distribution, who knows if we'll ever see it.
I would love to see that photo as well. The 90's X-Men are rising in costs which is annoying since I need a Rogue for a 90's X_Force Siryn and was thinking of suping up my Wolfsbane with the beast arms.
-
That makes sense now sorry I grew up in Florida so I need help sometimes. Maybe you can help me sort this one out. Was thinking of doing an old school Siryn out of a Hope Summers Head, A Star Saphire neck, Phoenix chest, and Loki (from the 4 pack) arms and legs Not sure it will work though. With the hair and the neck piece. Thoughts?
-
Wolfsbane looks like a wee munchkin in that panel.
Well in the story Rahne is like 11 or 12. It is from a What If... that was mentioned on one of these threads.
-
I'm just curious, what does Star-Girl's hair look like on Dazzler, thereasony?
She can also wear the jacket
the reasonsy, I used TRU BSG Apollo on a custom:
http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.php?showtopic=8735#entry176459
That could work... now to get a BSG Apollo for cheap!
I've also been debating but I think I am finally happy with Sue.
-
Gambit/Psylocke goes for $99 on Amazon.com.
I managed to get a Psylocke on the bay of E for $20.00 two months ago. Every now and then you get lucky but it is rare.
-
Interesting but it looks like the tail plugs into the same unit as the wings so you may not need to cut. Speaking of cuts, I have been toying around with a short ninja do (that is not in canon) for Psylocke and the quest continues for Dazzler hair piece I like.
-
I also love the cartoon but Jeans hair always bothered me. This is a pretty good representation of the look but the look itself is so bad! Haha. That said, the part that bothered me most was that her ponytail came out of a hole in the back of a head condom that left the top of her hair exposed. What was she thinking when she got suited up everytime? Yours at least gets rid of that non sensical aspect of her costume. Im ripping on 90's costumes more than anything, hope you arent offended.
LOL I am not offended at all. For me the cartoon made more sense because who wants their hair in their face when fighting with super villians. It is a question I have often had with female superheroes. . . and capes.
-
I love the 90's X-Men. Although my love for the cartoon got me to switch Jean's hair to use the Batgirl extra hairpiece so thta she can have a ponytail.
-
Guys, I figured out the line up. It's here:
Beast with Wolfsbane
Thuderbird with Banshee
Namorita with the Watcher.
End of story. Who wants to preorder?
-
The wait to see these is killing me! LOL even though I'm not into the series, I love the characters involved and cannot wait for the mates.
-
I think the hardest part is not knowing how the tail attaches. Meanwhile I am still looking for an acceptable blond hair piece for Kazar that is more wild and not too "girly". I have been debating between short and long hair as well but we shall see. I also want to get another Johnny Storm blode piece for use with Dazzler. I still haven't found the right hair piece for her. I currently have her using Star-Girl's hair and it is ok but still not perfect. Yes, I am that annoying .
-
You never know. There are a lot of other characters I thought we'd never see get made that ended up being made. Maybe someday we'll get a 2-pack with Crystal and an updated Quicksilver.
That's the funny thing about Crystal, since she is such a hub character you could have her in multiple combinations. For me, I'd love her with either a Dane Whitman Black Knight or a Ronan. She could even be in a four pack with Gorgon, Trident, and Karnak. But, she has never been made as a toy. Even when the entire second Season of the FF cartoon focused on the character. She just isn't meant to be which I find sad especially with her history in the Marvel Universe. I'd think she would at least be considered as a varient for Sue in the next updated FF line but who knows when that will be.
-
Niiiice. I love the base you've made. Is that a Terrax/MODOK combo?
Good Eye sir it is. I think it gives it a molten lava type of feel.
Crap, now I have to get another X3 Jean and Heralds Nova just to copy that brilliant Crystal. Awesome job, sir.
Glad to help you for a change since I am usually in awe of your customs! She is Ultimate X-Men Jean face, X3 Jean hair, Nova body, Calico Jack boots and gloves, and then a sharpie.
Sweet custom!
Thank you sir. I figured I'd make her myself since odds are never in my favor in seeing this Avengers, Fantastic Four, Inhuman Space Princess as an official release.
-
I try to ignore anything related with X-3. Although I did buy that Jean but only for the hair for my Crystal custom.
-
THAT's what it was thanks for helping a lazy brother out @Nessex!
-
Is it me or does Wanda's costume remind anyone else of the X-Men Evolution Scarlet Witch look?
-
Hey guys, I am getting ready for my Reaper modification and was just thinking, doesn't Sauron usually wear purple pants like the Hulk?
I would. Did you already get the marvel now minimates? I've been looking at toys r us no luck... Yet
They aren't out yet, I just like to get my parts together so that it is just done once I get the figure. If not I goof off as my poor Firestar custom is finding out.
-
I'm a bit concerned that there might be some misconception that I am the last word on pricing.....I'm not.......& I have always made that clear in anything I wrote in the 'Price Guide' thread that I did some years ago. TRU stuff is a bit of a mystery when it comes to numbers made but we've been given clues & I've done my best to figure it out .
I have bought the same minimum amount of each & every TRU set ever made & the set that was the most difficult from the moment it was released is Angel/Warpath.
Didn't they say there were less of these since X-Factor Angel was the "varient" of the set. I'm glad the factory messed up because at least you can pose Archangel with the X-Factor team and it is comic appropriate but had the original Angel been the varient and in so little demand I would have raised hell.

I just realized I never posted a pick of it. This is a mashup of the Cyclops.
In reviewing him, he is mainly a 90's Scott, with a Dark Phoenix Cowl, and thn New Mutant booties and gloves. The Phoenix is a white Phoenix body with a Heather Hudson face and Starfire hair on a Marvel Legends Firebird.
