Talk to me about the wrist/forearm/glove swap... pop on and off? Or do you need to re-glue?

 

[Enforcer]

You should, as this will guarantee that Hasbro will then release this color scheme on a single card. Thank you for your sacrifice for the good of the community!

I will do what needs to be done.

These both look great. Questions:
How did you remove the white band from the blue Frank's right leg?
Did you paint the white into blue, or did you use paint remover to get rid of the white?

Got the Fury / Frank 2pk. Fury looks like he has no upper teeth so it's rather weird to make a cigar chomping expression, not include the cigar and then just give him recessed teeth like her has some sort of genetic disorder. Mostly a set I probably could have waited on but I like the Frank headsculpts for this one more than the Bushwacker 2pk. Will come in handy when they finally give us a decent B&W Punisher body. Mostly just a lot of accessories, but I did stick muttonchopped Banshee's head on the Fury body and it does make for a pretty cool IRA (Investment Retirement Account of course, not the Irish org by any means, no no) Sean Cassidy. I guess you could use him for an Interpol Detective Banshee too I suppose. Either way it just looks cool. I may keep him as such since he's the one who originally arrested Arkady Rossovich (Omega Red) before the Russian Super Soldier program modified him and he was just a Russian serial killer on the loose.

Also got WW2 Logan. Nothing overly notable, I wish they'd done the netting on the helmet as it is rather plain, but it's a decent figure that just looks out of place with anything else unless you have other WW2 stuff. I DO like how they did the barred single piece plug in claws as these ones don't seem to go all different directions and hold their shape the best. I don't really care if each claw is individually plugged in as warped plastic claws are the bane of my Wolverine collecting existence. So that is my one notable positive takeaway that I liked.

I know this one! Goo Gone (or Goof Off if you nasty) will remove it with a little work.

Didn't the sculptor say the Fury is designed so people can make him a toothpick ceeeegar? Toothpick cigars are so easy. Don't need any customizing skills to make one really.

I tried popping the three-pack head onto Nick and I may need to heat it up and try again. That's a... not to go all Classified in a Marvel thread, a tight grip.

Clenching can be due to psychological issues.

Mine is pretty loose after that swap - but boiling should definitely help you.

Also, it looks like the gloves can be swapped - but it's the hardest part

The white paint came off the blue leg with acetone. Pretty easy.

The glove cuff swap was really difficult. I had to heat them individually and slowly peel them off. They’re really glued on there well. It was hard not to damage them in the process. They came off warped. But putting them back on, I just applied more heat and they went back to the shape they need to be. Glued them on and they were good to go. And yes, in the process of swapping, you get an SM:TAS Punisher. Best of both worlds.

My order for Mini-Comic Wave 2, Skurge wave, Champion/Starfox, Punisher/Nick Fury, Black Bolt/Triton, Medusa/Gorgon, Secret Wars Iceman, and 2 Joes are in. I think I have enough credit left on one of these cards...

I've got everything in hand now except Champion / Starfox, still waiting on that one from BBTS. I'm actually expecting that to be my favorite Legends purchase of the year.

Now I find myself kind of hoping that the Spider-Man retro card wave hits before the end of the year too, but I'm not expecting it.

 

[RichardSimmonsRobot]

I'm just happy that the large majority of my preorders from Marvel Legends are over at this point no more "Death by endless $25-60 figures." Now I can focus on fun things like car insurance and groceries.

(And yes I will be the financial centerpiece of a 3 Stooges slap/eyepoke sandwich when my MTO 97 Sentinels arrive next month. But that's a problem for December RSR)

It can be hard to predict. The Dark Reign 3-pack with Iron Patriot sold out fairly fast. As did Giant-Man & Wasp.

Still sorta mad at myself for not getting it, but I only wanted Iron Patriot. Maybe on the final livestream this year they'll show him as a single release. That'd make my day!
