stack32 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Tony would definitely have stood out more that way. The issue I find with the stands is that it stresses the plastic at the edge of the feet, if the feet aren't made from white plastic you can often see stress marks. I'd prefer the figure to stay on the stand without being damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hmmmm I guess I don't pay that close of attention. I'll have to check it out on old figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Rogue's right knee pin snapped when I went to test the articulation. Luckily, it's all black, so I should be able to replace it myself easily. I'm definitely ordering another Spot for customization (I'm thinking cutting off the crotch-to-torso peg & gluing it to one of the black stands, since the torso plugs into them so easily). Also just snagged a cheap loose Puck off eBay for the hand. Gonna see if it's flesh plastic or white plastic painted flesh. The latter would make it easier, as removal is cleaner than painting.

Mnemosis Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I'm thinking of modding a "punch myself in the face" Spider-Man with one of my spares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) I've already shaved off a peg on a stand and attached an arm peg to it. And dremmeled through on peg to attach the lower body Edited November 2, 2018 by Heinous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I bought an extra Spot with the intention of doing similar things. It's hard for me to destroy a minimate so I think I'll see what the community comes up with before cutting one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Got mine yesterday and I echo what most of you have said. Spot and Madame Masque are really the standouts here. I wish that they'd packed Kate Bishop with MM (she plays a big role in Kate's solo series), but I'm a sucker for the old Iron Man armor, even if Secret Invasion made me really dislike the whole Holo Tony concept. I like Rogue less than I expected; I can't say why, but that costume didn't seem to translate as well to a Minimate as I expected. X-face Cyclops is kind of a waste, but whatever. I know a lot of people really liked that costume when it came out, so I'm glad for everyone that wanted it. Iron Spider is fine, and I guess he's a new character, right? I've been reading the Spider-Man books for years now but somehow I know nothing about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I know the TRU Exclusive sticker was over-stickered with the Walgreens Exclusive sticker on the front but what about the back? Does it still indicate TRU26 on the packaging or is there a sticker over that as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess she'll just need to be made in a pack with Hawkeye and Pizza Dog. Iron Spider apparently fought Miles instead of Peter which could account for you missing him.
