karamazov80 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 I work at a public university, and things aren't much better here. We did get minor wage increases the last two years, but that was after several years of no raises, given the state of the economy. It's a big problem for faculty, as those who were working here 10 years or more sometimes make less than incoming faculty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I did the payment plan. $22 now, $66 in August, September, October. I'll use the Drax money for the installments (I just hope I can get the Drax money back before they decide to let us have him). I've been waiting for Maria since my first Hot Toys (A1 Hawkeye). Now I just need to win the lottery so I can get one of these customizer guys to make me the rest of the How I Met Your Mother cast as Marvel heroes. Neil Patrick Harris as Human Torch, anyone?

TENIME_art Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Why? I was trying to match HIMYM personalities as well as looks, and Barney Stinson is quite Johnny Storm-ish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Because he's blonde and gets the ladies? Instead of yelling "Flame Up" it's "Suit Up"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 I don't think Harris is too keen on chasing the ladies around. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) NPH, no. His HIMYM character, that's all he ever did. Edited July 12, 2015 by TENIME_art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fairly esoteric Gone Girl reference. If you're not familiar, watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Looks great. Will see the movie in a couple of weeks when I get some vacation time. Might have to go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 may be my first 1/6th scale Marvel Cinematic purchase. I am in love with this costume, it reminds me of an updated classic science fiction spacesuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Well, no good news for GOTG collectors, but very good news for Avengers 2 collectors! https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/11750660_921277521243910_2628574551795546996_n.jpg?oh=6f10b4edb9cbcf3fe3860c86fa28f8eb&oe=564A1428 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I was hoping to score the miniature Antman, but after seeing this from Hot Toys, I have a new direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Is that something that will be sold separately, or is it an exclusive that comes with the Ant Man figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Every time I see a new HT fig I'm blown away and immediately want to PO. Then I think of the cost. And the shipping.And the taxes. And the fees. Finally, I give up and face the fact that I'll never get it. To make myself feel better, I repeat over and over "the likeness isn't perfect, the shade of purple is too light and iminime could do a much better job". Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat....But that Ant-Man sure looks cool.... PS: In other news, I just got a mail saying that my 11th Doc is in-stock and I need to pay the shipping fees. Now if only Paypal could just open and let me do my damn job.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) That Drax looks very sweet. Starlord is probably the weakest of all the Guardians. Edited July 23, 2015 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
