undeadpool Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 got my package from Luke's today and while there were a lot of other goodies in the box i thought id show off my Wave 54 haul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Any one else find it amusing that Madame Hydra is referred to as "Viper" on hers and the WS/F box, but is "Madame Hydra" on the other two? I was entering her into my database, and I wasn't sure what name to go with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidman911 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I bought a Viper set today but I think there's something wrong with her hair. It looks like it wasn't painted properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) got my package from Luke's today and while there were a lot of other goodies in the box i thought id show off my Wave 54 haul Beauty.Edit: It's also good news for Luke . He & the other wave 54 retailers can hardly be ecstatic that TRU are selling similar (I stress 'similar') packs for $3.98 .Just a shot in the dark but I guess you didn't buy those sets for the Struckers ?

undeadpool Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 actually...the Struckers have proven quite useful. the green tones match really well with the Supreme Hydra masks so ive created 20 or so "Hydra Elite Guards" as i call them not exactly comic accurate, but visually effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidman911 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I guess I'm stuck with my smudged Viper. Comic book store won't let me exchange it for another set (even though it's unopened...last time I shop there) and no luck with Diamond Select website contact thing. Oh well.

cidman911 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks Zak Katz, It's the first problem I've had with a figure since 2011's SDCC Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Red Hulk's awkward legs that popped out any time you touched him. God, that figure made me.............angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElGallo21 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) I planned to do the same thing but I guess i should have finished reading the posts before adding one. Hey is that goon in the lab coat anyone in particular or just a generic hydra scientist? Edited February 23, 2014 by ElGallo21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 *pic* I'm so jealous! I've only got three Hydra goons right now, but I really want as many as my SHIELD Agents. God, I wish I had the money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidman911 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) What is a good paint to fix the hair on my Viper?Stupid comic store I got it from doesn't allow refunds/exchanges and I'm having no luck with whoever is in charge of Diamond 'contact us' to understand that it came factory damaged so I can get another hair piece. Would Liquitex paint be fine? Edited February 26, 2014 by cidman911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Are the Baron's looks comic accurate? Couldn't find an exact match for either on google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Is her hair cast in green plastic? Could you just use Goo Off or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidman911 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Is her hair cast in green plastic? Could you just use Goo Off or something?It looks like peach plastic painted green. So I would have to paint the whole thing green which is seriously annoying the hell out of me that I have do to.It's like a combination of missing paint and a scratch. I'm gonna try to contact Diamond again but I doubt they give a crap. Edited February 26, 2014 by cidman911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Are the Baron's looks comic accurate? Couldn't find an exact match for either on google. He's pretty close, but neither look is 100% exact. He often wears the jump-suit with a lighter neckerchief, but not the gold shoulder-pads. He's a good deal closer than the ML figure was.

'Doubting they give a crap' is perhaps a bit harsh ? I would definitely say that some of our 'army builders' here will have a spare Viper very very soon ..... perhaps the way to go ?

cidman911 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 ^ Yeah but I shouldn't have to buy more pieces to fix something I payed full price for and I haven't exactly had too much luck when some of my Lego or Hasbro stuff came factory damaged so I'm not so hopeful in this situation. When that happened I could at least exchange the sets at Walmart or Target. My main mistake was buying it in a comic shop with a no refund/no exchange policy. Had I known that I wouldn't have purchased it. I despise stores like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
