Polarboy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Nice, DST did themselves out of a sale of an x-factor boxset because I was never going to get the warpath angel set.

hellpop Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 On 9/18/2016 at 1:19 PM, BuffaloDelorean said: They look great, and there are plenty of accessories, but I can't help wishing they came with an optic blast Cyclops mask, clawless Wolverine hands and a fastball special hand for Colossus. Nightcrawler's assortment of extras looks the best to me (which is good because he's my favourite Marvel character), but Storm and Banshee have some great parts for posing and alternate looks. Very surprised they didn't include that Cyclops accessory; it would have been preferable to the extra Banshee head. And it's too bad they didn't include parts to make a depowered Colossus; all you'd need would be a bare torso and arms, blue legs, human face and the same hairpiece with fleshy ears. I mean, it's a easy enough quick custom, and I think that hairpiece was used by the SHIELD heavy agents, but it would have been nice to have (and probably would have convinced a lot of people to buy a second set).

So a second complete figure? ive ordered 2 of the colossus/nightcrawler set and will raid the fodder box to make human form colossus and AoA xforce nightcrawler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Why are you guys all against extra parts all of a sudden? Fine, make your own unpowered Colossuses. See if I care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Iron Man 2020 hair, a Thief of Thieves head, SW Deadpool torso and Avalanche legs set aside specifically for that purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah that's essentially 3 characters in the package, DST probably wouldn't go for that. Also where the pics?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I agree. Too many spare parts for one figure, unless MAYBE the other figure in the pack was shared with a TRU pack or something. Â And I DID make my own already =p I went with bare legs, but should probably swap out for pants Edited September 22, 2016 by Mnemosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah, your Piotrs are probably better, but I have a pretty limited access to parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I posted this on the MMV Facebook group, but I thought I would post it here too: Be VERY careful when taking the tape off the Storm and Nightcrawler alternate heads! The paint peels very easily. We have found that you have to do it very slowly and gently (that's what she said). And if you ordered a loose set from our store, don't worry, you will NOT be receiving one of these damaged heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that sucks.  And who knew Nightcrawler was really a Caucasian wearing a circus outfit; you think he would have taken it off more, you know, all those time he was being chased for being blue.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvis497 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Not cool. DST changed to a better, less-sticky tape a few years ago that didn't do this, I wonder if anything changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pic is a serious evidence of why parts should be cast in the actual colour needed rather than painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
