sha_ckwave Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I noticed no thread for this set... only a dedicated SDCC thread in another topic/forum. I need some loose images because I'm on the fence on picking this one up. Anyone got any? Also, AFX has them, Luke's is backordered? and as far as I can tell BBTS hasn't gotten theirs yet. So what gives on availability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Alas - i am currently in Berlin without my toys, otherwise i would happily oblige. i might be able to get at them tonight tonight to take some pics. In the meantime, Zach has posted some loose pics on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know if that opic blast piece works with other cyclops or is it one piece. Edited July 31, 2012 by Scorpion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Does anyone know if that opic blast piece works with other cyclops or is it one piece. It's one solid piece. Take care putting it on Cyclops though as it is an extremely tight fit. Mine wouldn't come off after it went on, so Scott took a trip to the freezer and "voila", it came right off. Anybody else notice that Colossus' chest tampo does not line up with the sculpts in his chest? I thought this was a fluke, but both of mine and the one Zach snapped pics of look like this, so I guess it must be wide spread. Can anybody else confirm this?

hellpop Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'd snap pics, but they became custom fodder almost immediately. I bought the set so that I could put Hope's jetpack on my Adam Strange custom, and that's just what I did. Colossus' head went to upgrade my Captain Atom, and Emma Frost? Well Emma's legs went to this guy: That's right, Prez! The lamest character in comics history! Take that, Emma Frost fans! *ahem* Anyway... it's a nice set, if you like these guys. Cyke's extra mask is very cool, though I agree that it's very tight. When I put mine on the figure, I expected to struggle to get it off, but I ended up not having a problem. Haven't noticed the Colossus thing, as I barely looked at the figure. It's really the extras that sold this set to me, and I hope a classic Cyclops with the blasting mask isn't too far down the road.

DSTZach Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Such an amazing set, used to make (choke) DC customs? Oh, the humanity mutantkind! (Cries into X-Force pillow.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 DC fans do what we have to do. The fact that someone is using this set to make a DC custom as ridiculous as Prez should send a message! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 My set arrived last week, Colossus came with a broken knee joint, very disappointing. Emailed Customer Service at end of last week, no response yet. The paint job on each of the mates was impressive. I need a new lower torso or right leg piece to make mr rasputin whole again.

Zylek Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I got my AvX set today from Luke's store (Thanks Luke!). I love them! I'm really hoping for all the Phoenix 5 to be made at some point down the line. AvX got me back into reading comics on a regular basis, so much so that my wife thought our itunes account was hacked due to the bill from the Marvel Comics app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsMarvel fan Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 anybody know what the hole in the back of hope's jetpack is for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 anybody know what the hole in the back of hope's jetpack is for? Another jetpack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hopefully, it's for the bullet she'll receive at the end of AVX, when she sacrifices herself to destroy the Phoenix once and for all, and sets an example for contrived characters everywhere... At least one could "hope". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 anybody know what the hole in the back of hope's jetpack is for? I haven't had the chance to try it, but it looks like it might fit on a Cap shield harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think the hole is supposes to be for one of her guns? I've not got them in front of me... but think that was I managed to shove in the other day, so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynet Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I got my sealed new set in today. I'm disappointed with the quality. Emma was imitating Rick Grimes, having no right hand. The top of Colossus' helmet was scraped with some of the paint rubbed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Anyone got a spare AvX Colossus-naught they want to part with, or at least his left boot? I got 2 rights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Does anyone else see Emma's cape, or something of a similar design, working for Storm? Sure. It also looks good on the old Emma as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 @Zach: The hole on Hope's poncho/cape is large enough to hold her rifle. The rifle peg is the same size as the jet pack peg. The jet pack has a hole opposite the peg, which is not large enough to hold the rifle. The hand gun Hope comes with has a hole too, not a peg, to fit on her leg holster. Trying the jet pack hole on a Cap shield holder, the hole is too small. At least when trying the holder on Bucky Cap. I wonder what the future will hold for this piece....

Turtle Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 With Bucky Cap I shield harness Pretty awesome. Unfortunately, that harness isn't compatible with the SHIELD agent straps. And I just noticed Colossus' bad paint alignment. Not as bad as CW Iron Man, but still pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
