These came in this week. 

 

[spanner]

Also picked up an Aussie V8 touring car for dirt cheap! No box or cert but in perfect condition!

 

[Bahamutzyro]

Received a couple of new things. Thought I’d share!

[Bahamutzyro]

Also received this..... a lot of weight to him. Love this.

[Slave IV]

Nice @Bahamutzyro!

Nice, though Iceman doesn't really fit in with that group.  Should swap the ordinary Jean head from the Dark Phoenix pack with that Jean here.  She'll look much better with it.

[sh9000]

Thanks.  I’ll take Iceman out and I’ll try the Jean head swap.

I want a decent looking 6” Magneto and classic Storm but it’s too bad there aren’t any other options at the moment and the Marvel Select versions are too tall.

You don't have the TB Magneto with the scrap Sentinel base?

There is the revoltech one.  But that is a tad bigger than 6 inch, and quite pricey.

[Slave IV]

Yeah, I have Revo Magneto on the way and just ordered Carnage. I don't think @sh9000collects those other lines though. Put that money towards HMR!

I do but I don’t like the arms and large rings on his shoulders that much.

Looks kind of cool but it has a different style and will probably not fit in that well.

Yeah just Marvel Legends mainly.

I just read that the Marvel Legends Deadpool wave 2 will have Lady Deadpool, Omega Red, X-23 Wolverine, and Bishop.  Cool.

Having never seen "The False Songstress," I had little interest in the YF-25 Prophecy... but I've admired it from afar, and -- seeing its value going up and up on the secondary market -- I finally decided to get one while I could still afford it.

I'm glad I did.  It's a gorgeous bird.

[Saburo]

Congrats on the new addition and great shot @tekering!

[ChaoticYeti]

That's a great valk. Probably my second favorite 25 scheme.

I've been tempted for a while now to get a 2nd YF-25, everything about it is just awesome! Congrats on getting one!

After owning over 30 MP style Transformer figures, I now finally have my first MP seeker, Starscream by Maketoys. I never bothered with the official Takara Starscream or seekers, they never looked good and they were priced terribly for how dated they are and looked. I almost considered the KOs which actually improved on the official product in many ways, but I just am not a fan of the official seeker mold no matter how you slice it, thankfully Maketoys came along and put out their own take on MP Starscream. He's more toon accurate then I normally like, which I usually complain about Takara's official stuff getting, but I feel he just ticks far more boxes then any other MP Starscream available. Figma Deadpool DX is cool, no QC issues with mine, but I've seen he's a bit of a mess for may other people. And that's it on Figuarts Halls, I have all 7 that I want, now I just need two more Iron Man releases and my Hall is officially complete!

Got my Metal Build 00 Qan[T] in last Wednesday. It is amazing!

And I had these guys waiting for me at work today! Can't wait to open up the Red Skull when I get home.

Yeah, tell me about it.  The previous mentioned Revo Magneto is cool but he isn't comic book accurate at all.  Definitely isn't going to fit with Legends.  He's currently battling my SHF Chun-Li and Cammy on my shelf.

And the fact Hasbro are going with ANOTHER Storm with a mohawk is irksome, I don't want the punk-rock Storm even if it is unique.  Though for the most part she will fit with that lineup of yours.

Super stoked for Omega Red and Bishop.  I'm hoping it's 90's Bishop, the Uncanny X-Men Gold Team look was my favorite.  Odd how much of the Deadpool line is actually more like a Wolverine line but I suppose they'll call it all Weapon X or something.  I wonder what the BAF will be?

I can't keep up with TFW actual Transformer threads anymore mostly from lack of interest but did they fix the underside of the wings or are they the hollow look that I've seen before release? I love seekers too but still have not seen a single design worth buying.

Nope, no fix, they're hollow like we've seen with the prototype.

Lost an hour playing around with this addition that landed. Shame there wasn't more of these VF-25 SDs or even other valks in the lineup. Tempted by the SD VF1 version from kidsconceptz.

Very Nice!!! I need to get the Altron still. I just finished building the Heavy Arms, excellent kit, and working on painting my Tallgeese III. Also just got the Sandrock and I need to figure out a good cloth cape. I don't like the plastic substitute they included. 

[sh9000]

Who knows when an updated Jim Lee Storm will come out.  I might just open this one in the meantime.

Since we're talking about 1/6 scale stuff, I was actually considering a 1/6 Scale Phicen Shi Kimono (Asian Edition). Link --> http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/sixth-scale-action-figure-news-reviews-and-discussion-/850110-phicen-1-6-shi-kimono-asia-version-u-s-version.html

Ive only built Deathscythe Hell, I want to build the HRM Wing Zero next although the Altron is very tempting. Im with you, I dont like the plastic cloak, looks bloated.

Why not try some canvas cloth or those blended wool felt cloth as a substitute.

I'd suggest something thinner like silk or a fabric with similar thickness/flexibility. Canvas or felt never looks right when used for something of that scale, with how huge the folds and wrinkles are relative.
