JB, you didn't mention Shaman on your list of possible buys. Any reason?

I like the Swordsman though never cared for the character.  Still, gotta get the Avengers.

Mojo joins the list of those who tax the definition of "classic".

I may go for the Swordsman.

Tiger Shark (NICE) and Nico Morou (who????????) have arrived...honestly can said I've never read an issue of Runaways, so I can't comment on her.  Plus she arrived snapped in half.

I'm curious now -- why would you buy a character you don't know?

Hammerhead is a maybe, tho the pose is odd, and the suit needs a repaint. Longshot goes into deep negative numbers in terms of how little I care about the character.

Dear Eaglemoss,

Rule One -- any character with a MULLET is automatically NOT a "classic".

Hammerhead looks like a shoddy sculpt. Pity.

Nice use of him in FF, BTW, JB.

Domino and Sif have arrived.  Sif's nicely done.  The Asgardians look nice all together, waiting for Hela.  Needs an Executioner though.....

There was a little note in the box saying "Congrats, we have just extended another 20 figurines due to overwhelming response to the collection", knowing full well that this 20 is the last and it's been cancelled.

Pity.

Hammerhead is a MAYBE.  I'm going to pass on Longshot.

I've actually been looking forward to Longshot. I've got fond memories
of his limited series and I was quite disappointed when he showed up
as a member of the X-Men.

Ah, I love summer vacation. While the wife has all the kids down in L.A. at her parents' place for the week, I've fixed Hawkeye's broken bow, given Hobgoblin a proper hood and filled in most of the ridiculous holes in his cloak, removed Toad's tongue and repainted his mouth, and made serious headway on my next two mods (an Alpha and an Omega).  Free time is good!

And, after sitting around untouched for a year or more, I'm finally working on this guy again.  The structure of his chest/head piece isn't easy in 3-D.

Some progress is made.  Starfire ran into a Dremel and got a haircut.  A rough diamond pattern (which needs a lot of tightening up) is starting to form on Diamond Lil.  Madrox (who was way too thin and good looking) was the base figure for what I'm calling Madison Jeffries.  He needs some details cleaned up, but he's about 95% done.

I was disappointed in Mockingbird. The hair over the mask creates an ear look.
