    Love that Captain Marvel's look is like Mar-Vell's and it makes her stand out a bit from Captain America with a mainly blue costume with a star in the centre of the chest. 

    And man would I love a minimate form of that look. Don't have the talent to make it.

    I agree. That’s what frustrates me. There’s not a loose strand strand any of the men’s costumes that does not have a function or serve a purpose, even as a symbol. Yet, the most powerful person in the galaxy (who happens to be a woman) wears totally a useless, nonfunctional, gender-stereotyped item that signifies what, she needs a place to wipe her hands after she punches through a star destroyer? Makes no sense.

     

  2. Still no luck with these in Brooklyn.

    Now, I know that Captain Marvel was barely in this film (and has absolutely zero chance of getting a new figure) but there is an up close look at her final costume on twitter.

    I am usually ok with the translation of costumes to screen and I think this has a cool retro look.

    The only thing that's getting is the sash. She's a battle-tested, unstoppable warrior. Why a sash? It just seems like fan service.

    The only answer I'll accept is that it's a piece of Valkyrie's cape and a symbol of their eternal cosmic love.

    Nicely done! How did you get the flame to stick to her helmet?

    Thanks! First I peeled off the mohawk, which came off really easily. I had an old flaming sword toy with curved flames. I cut off a bit and used clear gorilla glue to attach it. 

     

    This was my 2nd try. I tried crazy glue but it dried white and took off the paint of any part it touched.

    i debated putting the link b/c i don't want it to look like i'm promoting this in any way.

    but in ebay i typed in "endgame minimates" and this was the only one that popped up

    I am not above using the secondary market given that I almost never see movie mates in my area but $125 is absolutely criminal

    The pattern on the torso of the two costumes is different too, so all you could share would be hands, arms, hips, and head. It'd be easy to just overlook, but that's why I said completely accurate.

    And I think at least the second look would need a sculpted mask.

    number 3 is an easy QC with the hair swap and the Miranda (Mass Effect) figure as a base

  6. Can we please stop with the pile-on and move on already? 

    The kid made a mistake by making a post about toys. No one died.

    He posted an unverifiable rumor about a movie no one has seen that we are all accepting as true because he said he knows someone who works there. Consider it speculation and move on.

    Geez.

    I get people hate spoilers and love surprises. Personally, I could care less about spoilers. I have never been a "don't tell me the ending" guy. I am much more about the process; did you build a story that justified that ending. Spoilers never bothered me. It makes me want to see whether the filmmakers were able to pull it off even more.

    Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

    Have you checked Duane Reades?  Weirdly that is where I have my best luck on Island though.  I weirdly found the Avengers BC in Jersey!  But so far I haven't seen Captain Marvel mates in the city anywhere between Christopher street up to 77th on the west side and on the East side 23rd to 78th.  The UES stores though have a bit of back log.

    Two of the Walgreens were Duane Reade stores.  It's just easier to refer to them all as Walgreens.
