not to be shitty but is it a grail when you can still find it easily and at a sensible price? amazon for example?
Im glad you are happy with your purchase and i do hope they do a NEXTWAVE ... wave now that we have Elsa and Monica, just sayin'
$7 less AND an Iron Man mask you could give to a kid or donate to Toys for Tots, at Walmart.com

Instead of showing another shelf over stuffed with figures, I thought I'd try and help anyone that was out looking for it.
With the 40% off, it rings at $35.99 plus tax. Some users have had luck asking the store associates for help, some have not. Many reported that stores only received two of the items, but the store I checked had 2 on lower display and 4 up high.
Items box up at 2' x 2' x 6". I don't think it is economical to have another user buy one and ship it to you. $40 alone for the item, plus gas for being a bro, plus shipping, and you may as well consider ordering the amazon one: https://smile.amazon.com/Design-Ideas-4900101-FireEscape-Shelf/dp/B00CIFTABK... though it is signifigantly smaller.
I've been doing customs for over 25 years. Here's some tips and tricks that might help you.
Before you start, always wash your figures / fodder and make sure they are 100% dry before you begin. Get rid of all the factory mold release residue on the plastic, so that paint can adhere to it better.
Prime your figures. I recommend Tamiya Fine White primer. It is the BEST around and will give you a smooth, even surface to paint on. Spray on the primer in light passes, essentially passing OVER your figure as you spray, never ever directly onto the figure. That will get gloppy and will dry uneven.
Invest in GOOD BRUSHES. These are GREAT. I use them all the time.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7UFLP5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Paint with light, watery layers. Never directly from the bottle. Build up the color and do it slowly.
Every 4 or 5 coats, I spray my customs with a sealant. It helps lock down the color and also allows for more even coverage. It also acts like a barrier in case you mess up, you can easily wipe off the paint. I like to use Krylon Matte Finish.
Eyes are really tough, but if you have patience, and a small enough brush you can do it. Look at the other figures and see how they are painted. Usually a solid holding line around the white, then an iris color, a pupil and a small white highlight dot. GO SLOW.
Don't be heavy handed with washes or drybrush. That will only gum up the surface and make it harder to see the fine detail.
Finally, practice, practice, practice. Keep at it. You're on the right road - and if you need any help, or have any questions, I'm happy to chat it up.
For my figures flesh tones I use Games Workshop’s Citadel Kislev Flesh which works VERY well with their Cadian Fleshtone.
I've been eyeing Vallejo's Face/Skin Colors Paint Set for awhile. It's 8 colors that'll help add a bit of variety. Amazon Link
Don’t pay $45. He’s currently on Amazon for retail price ($40) with prime shipping. I know $5 isn’t a huge difference, but it definitely adds up.

They're not exactly to scale, and for that reason I wouldn't say they're worth the price, but I had a bunch of Amazon gift cards, so I didn't spend any "real" money on it.
2 more stands for $4 more. Thanks for the heads up!
I didn't even know these existed! Just found the preorder listing on Amazon. However how come your Captain America has a clean shield and Amazon's photos show a dirty shield? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PBSRZ7N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_SNSG7YZ2QTTPF9XTR4V4
Does it come with both types of shields or are there two different versions?
Hey OP….
Mattel DC Comics Multiverse Mutant Leader Figure (DNW72) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016WEJTWC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_7VD8A9BAPH6YA5SNTFVR
To go with him. I got Triumphant Bats last week and found the Mutant on Amazon. $12 bucks is a good price for an “accessory” for the old timer!
The one I use is called the Obitsu Clear Body stand which you can find on Amazon. It's very modular but it comes in pieces so you'll have to screw it together. It's even sturdy enough to hold Venom up in the air though I probably wouldn't leave it like that indefinitely. Here's the link: Obitsu Body Clear Stand https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002T3TXEK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_13zDyb0DK3G1P
Colossus is $19.99 on Amazon today too! Wolverine as well.
616 Spider-Man up for retail on Amazon, same figure as Pizza Spidey
I got it off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0797N8JV8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I didn't install the base into the frame because then it wouldn't fit a Batman. However if you're only planning on displaying the batmobile it would fit by installing the brackets to hold up the wooden base.
I also got some acrylic sheets cut to size for each side of the table. I installed them by using the 3M velcro strips on the corners of the table. This allows me to easily remove the acrylic sheets whenever I want to clean or change up what I'm displaying.
Actually these are even better.
Motorcycle Cop & Regular Cop. Both by NECA.

If it is because of price, then the only ones available are the McFarlane.
https://www.amazon.ca/McFarlane-Toys-Multiverse-Batman-Detective/dp/B07V3TPJWL
I would say this is the most basic Batman. Very aesthetically pleasing. There is also the Rebirth Batman.
My grail would be The Animated Series Batman by Mattel, but the price would probably be close to MAFEX these days. No point.
If the reason you do not want them is "just because"; I can vouch for Mezco. https://www.toyorigin.com/2019/10/14/mezco-toyz-one12-collective-sovereign-knight-batman-review/
no, this is actually an obitsu stand from Amazon. I have several of these, and they work great.
I do have a few neca stands as well, but I prefer these since they are less bulky
he's up on amazon for retail at the moment
I ordered him from there on Friday and got him today
For sure! And I would have loved to be more specific in my answer and have a whole new discussion - but just can’t right now. I’m also interested to see if anyone has been using anything new to display.
One other thing I’ve been meaning to pull the trigger on is this pantry shelving thing. It’s three tiers and clear plastic and is great for letting characters in the back of a shelf more visible. I decided to use the mobile Amazon app to look it up - here’s a link:
InterDesign Linus Cabinet Organizer Rack – 3-Tiered Storage for Kitchen, Pantry or Bathroom Countertops, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KOTJTS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8l32Ab0PF7J5Q

Marvel Legends is the only figure line that contains all those characters in the outfits you’re looking for.
Unfortunately you are a little late to the party so figured like Rogue, Beast, and even Jubilee are quite expensive now.
Good news is you can get a 3 pack with Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean for a reasonable price here.
Professor X The others you will need to pay a premium for.
Thanks man! A Mafex for under $30 is a no-brainer.
Though, if I may suggest, buy it from Amazon Smile. Get Bezos to donate a measly 5% to a charity of your choice.
EDIT: lol, I cancelled it. I'm gonna regret it, but I refer to my decision a year ago, when it originally came out. I cancelled because he simply doesn't fit in my collection. And I gotta cut back on the frivolous spending!
You would like building their Stormtroopers. Super easy builds, great proportions, tons of ways to customize and was an affordable way to army build (like a year ago or more on Amazon most of these model kit figures were $20).
I recommend getting a Tamiya weathering kit, also can be found on amazon, really helps add life to these model kits. https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-Weathering-Master-Drybrush-Effect/dp/B000K26JQ2/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/146-4804566-8038932?pd_rd_w=0bBb3&pf_rd_p=c64372fa-c41c-422e-990d-9e034f73989b&pf_rd_r=N4D76JFDZXQ7DBMTRP9W&pd_rd_r=b5c2dcdd-d85b-4675-8ace-7e03deedbeec&pd_rd_wg=mwLr5&pd_rd_i=B000K26JQ2&psc=1

You could probably find better prices somewhere else, I'm just using Amazon for convenience.
That style is more low-poly than pixalated, the figure is the FREEing Virtua Fighter: Akira Yuki Figma Action Figure (2P Color Version)Amazon link. Also happy cake day.
I got mine of Amazon for like 14.99 with Prime..just checked and currently 15.99 with Prime also, so still pretty affordable.
i would pay full price, it's 44 dollars on amazon
For whatever reason but I've been seeing a ton of this figure. AND Amazon has it in stock all the time, sometimes even cheaper than the $20, even though that's what it's currently at.
Ok, then that's the marvel legends extremis armor, or at least the closest I can figure. Also not too bad on Amazon
SH Figuarts by Bandai. I got mine on Amazon Japan.

I buy packs of compressed gas dusters at Costco (http://www.costco.com/12-pack-Dust-Off-Compressed-Gas-Duster.product.11228077.html).
Every 2-3 months I use a can dusting the shelves out. I spend more time on the lower shelves where the dust more readily settles. I get very little dust collecting at the top. It also helps that the collection is in the basement which is only ever traveled to do laundry or for me to curate the collection.
I buy a bunch of cheap flight stands and have each of my figures stood up that way. The added bonus is that I can have them in mid-air poses this way if I want.
Something like this should work for 6-inch figures, if that's what you have: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Action-Figure-Model-Soul-Stand-STAGE-ACT-Bracket-figma-SHF-robot-Saint-Seiya-Stand-nendoroid-figurine/32690934240.html
You can check the "Amazon Best Sellers Rank" in the item listing to get an idea of how often it sells. If the rank is like #20,000 or lower it's selling pretty quickly. If it's like 1 million or higher, or there's no rank listed that means these sellers have probably been sitting on the item for months (or longer) just hoping a random buyer will come along one day and spring for whatever price is listed. (You can also check http://camelcamelcamel.com/ to get an idea of prices it's sold at.)
Sorry bro, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.toyscrates.com
>This “company” actually deserves a 0 star rating as it’s a scam but Trust Pilot won’t give me that option. I ordered a toy through them and eventhough the order showed as “complete” it never arrived. I emailed customer service countless times to no avail. Their phone number is non existant and so is their address. Good thing is they never charged our credit card but now we’re afraid they might have actually taken our data which is far worse.

The simplest solution might be to pick up some iron on transfer paper. Then you can find a copy of the emblem online (or design your own), print it on the transfer paper and then just iron it onto the cape. I haven’t used it for any custom figures yet but I’ve made plenty of t-shirts with transfer paper and have always been happy with the results.
Love it - would personally also for an 3-to-4 level acrylic riser to present the figures better.

Hurry while it's still at retail.
That's the tutorial I watched. I pretty much tried to do what he did, but since the twist ties are shorter I did have to tie them at the ends. However, I did end up finding the wire he used on Amazon so it would probably be easier with that.

Colossus is under retail on Amazon right now if anyone is still looking.
There's another colorway available if you're interested. Not sure how competitive that Amazon listing is.
Hard to believe with how much these go for now, the Silver version was once on clearance at Amazon for $28
For comics style, the Amazon 4 pack is theorized to be available on Nov 1 for $80
Popular guess is we get a Netflix version in 2018 with a Marvel Legends Knights assortment 2. We need to wait until Toy Fair in February to see if our hunch is right
$25 on Amazon right now
Or set an alert on camelcamelcamel to be notified of a lower price. Looks like the lowest he ever hit (on amazon proper) was $15 shortly before christmas last year
Yah $47, it's an old stock I think, but its sealed when I got him and no issues. I just bought this locally, not overseas. I'm from Philippines btw and luckily the seller didn't increase the price overtime because I find it expensive on amazon. Here is the link from amazon:

She's $14 on Amazon with Prime shipping.
The listing on Amazon, where I bought mine just two weeks ago, has it for about $43, free shipping. Not sure what you're aiming to pay, though.
I bought the Marvel Select Hulk from Thor: Ragnarok for $33 on Amazon. It’s 7inches, sturdy, the mold was well done as far as I can tell. I’m a new collector, but I’m happy with the purchase. And as the other guy said, articulation ain’t great.
Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select: Thor Ragnarok Gladiator Hulk Action Figure https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073GWP3YR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PXMUAb2SACS7G
It’s $39.50 from this guy, but there are other sellers.
Amazon. It’s not in stock at the moment but when the figures are closer to release they usually put up the preorders again
It's the new Jurassic World 2 Super Colossal T-rex. The normal verison is $55 at Target and Amazon, the one in the picture is Walmart exclusive and has battle damage and sounds and I think is $59. She is an absolute massive beast and towers over my Neca Alien Queens.
There's one on Amazon that's a little bit cheaper at $80, and there's also a variant of it that is black and gold for $33.
Obitsu stands on Amazon are pretty good. I normally buy in bulk (5x at a time) so they’re about $5 each. I’d definitely check them out. They’re highly customizable.
It's on Amazon but at an exorbitant price. Look here.
This little site called amazon has it for around $50. I actually got it for under $50 the other day. Pull the trigger, so amazing.

I believe both options are offered in different sizes, too. I have used the latter stands, and they work great for detolfs. A buddy of mine has used the individual stands and they also look great in a detolf.
Unfortunately you are a bit late to the game on the characters you're looking for and the second market prices are pretty high.

It is the one. It is on my list to gain and build.
It wasn't Hot Rod from the movie who I had a problem with. Just Rodimus in the 3rd season. He was the whiny bitch. Besides this is from the Devil's Due TF/Joe crossover comic series, The Art of War #5 where General Hawk opened the Matrix
You can now just buy blank bodies, if you're not into the Greek Mythology.
>Announcing the $120 Blank Body Customizer Set! This new reward is a set of six H.A.C.K.S. Blank Body figures: two Shadow Gray males, one Fire Orange Transparent male, two Champagne Beige females, and one Python Purple female.
>Why six figures? Because we wanted to create a set that was over the $115 level. That means that all backers who select the $120 reward will be able to purchase add-ons! So if you need an extra or two of the Wave 1 Blanks, you want to pick up figures from the other waves once they're unlocked, or you decide you want to try just one of the Greek Mythology figures (which you won't regret), you can go right ahead and do it.
>So if you've been waiting and hoping that there would be some way for you to buy just the H.A.C.K.S. Blank Body figures, now's the time to make your pledge. And if you know toy fans who are interested in the Blanks and are planning to wait and buy them at retail, let them know that there's a reward just for them now.
np dude - they are amazing imo!
get inspired @ https://www.instagram.com/articulatedcomicbookart/ for some sick poses / backdrops - amazing pictures posted there - I would say like 75% of them are MARVEL LEGENDS also.
Oh Mohamad.. you really don't know your Mecha Anime. :D (It's the one in the banner of my blog, a RVF-25 Valkyrie from the show Macross Frontier).
It's my dream as well but I'm afraid this will only be a temporary job filling in for someone :( I'm hoping to do a good enough job in the short time I have that maybe he offers me a part-time. Thank you!
There are a bunch of pictures here if you'd like to see the sort of stuff in stock.
Also, what sort of stuff can we do to promote the sub? Should we do it on or out of reddit? or both?
Here are some immediate ones I was able to find real quick.
The first image is Stan Lee, that I plan on trying to replicate the SDCC Stan Lee figure. This was printed on an Objet 30 Pro, and probably costs in the range of $5-$10 for the head.
The Rocket Raccoon picture features a 3d printed hand. The toy I got had two left hands. I 3d scanned one and mirrored it in software before printing a new version out. It was either that or return the figure and find another. For me, this was easier.
The Deadpool Hulk is an example of 3d scanning and making the model larger. I scanned in a Deadpool head and blew it up to Hulk size before sculpting onto it.
The white head is a 3d print of Stan Lee on an Mcor Iris 3d printer. It laminates layers of paper together and cuts the outline of each layer. That head would cost around $0.12 to make. The plan on this was to try to make a mold and cast multiples. The original model was from Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:386006 and I scaled it to Marvel Legends scale.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that. For the light rays, it’s a bit of a cheat! It’s partially from the image in the background on the TV forest image and from the Atmosphere Aerosol hitting the trees with the back lights
These are the same but a little cheaper I know the photo looks different, but I just ordered 20 more and they are the same.
Not even a KO, the rumor is the factory just kept making more after fulfilling NECA's orders. Folks who have the "KO" in-hand says its identical to the original in every way, just missing the SDCC sticker on the box.
Theseyou can't go wrong! All these others are WAY to expensive I have over 50 of them with 20 more on the way. They are the exact same as the Bandai stands that GriffWV has a link to. Aliexpress is the Chinese version of Ebay. It will take a few weeks to get but worth it for the cost.
I also had a bad experience with that a long time ago. As far as I understand, Pitney Bowes is some kind of cheap shipping company. So they collect stuff to be sent out, they get it somewhere near the destination, then they use the local USPS to mail it. In short, it sounds like they're an extra unnecessary step in the shipping process but they are used by companies because they offer probably cheaper fees when it comes to bulk shipping.
Anyway they certainly have a horrible record based on people's experiences.
I had this on my amazon list, lots of viewing angles, glass shelves, and price dropped since I last saw it https://www.amazon.com/Sauder-422132-Cottage-Bookcase-Lintel/dp/B07HY9M8S9
If you spray the backpanels silver it could look industrial, like a roll-up door.

this is the only one they have available now
