sh9000 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Got my 2 Emma Frosts secured with @Slave IV. No problemo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Well I'm getting fuxored here. A solitary Walgreens had three Mystique when it first came out and since then none of them have received anything new. Not just Legends, Black Series exclusives either. I just checked seven of them on my way home from work today and it's the same crap they've always had. It's like the city has just completely checked out.

sh9000 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Perfect timing. BBTS probably bought a lot of Emma Frosts from the Walgreens site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I was wondering if Illyana's head would fit on that same Dani Moonstar figure. Too bad whoever took those photos used the wrong sword with her. She didn't have that oversized Demon Blade back then. If only there was a way to remove the head dress but keep the hair looking the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanedaestes Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 It’s a custom paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 I’ve seen a customizer have the head dress removed on Magik with the hair intact. I’ll just give her the other sword she came with. I’m going to get some silver paint to paint up my extra Storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd that, of all the zillion Storm figures ever made, no one has ever made her "iconic" silver outfit. Just "toon-accurate" white versions. (yes, I am fully in the camp of it being silver, and not "white with blue highlights", because that's exactly how the Silver Surfer, and Optimus Prime's chrome bumper, were colored, too) It's a "limitation of cheap animation/printing" and not "an intentional depiction of color".

I’ve posted the example of why Storms costume isn’t white before, if it be Silver or an especially reflective black instead. The White Queens costume, hell Storms own fricking hair, is evidence it isn’t. This is also a good contrast between the white on Scott’s costume versus Storms color. The light source is the in the same spot for the both characters in both instances too. Edited September 15, 2019 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, has any recent, decent, collector-targeted etc figure been done in silver? I can buy a zillion good Rogue figures, of any shape/style, from $ legends up to $$$$$$ statues, in green/yellow. But that's my only choice for a silver Storm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Hasbro will get to the silver costume. They usually release different versions of the same figure. Painting her silver looks pretty easy so I’ll do that with my spare Storm.

SuperDimensionalDave Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Cowboy Logan is probably my favorite Wolverine figure next to “tiger stripe”. I kinda wish Hasbro would give us a few more civvy X-Men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
