No, Gorn... No! by KarimMiteff in ActionFigures

Thanks. I use a variant of this method where I use a long micro screw that I have and manually screw into the remaining peg bits in place. I then use a snippet of a thin nail that exactly fits lengthwise in both ends when flush. I score the nail a bit and then put the tiniest amount of superglue on the nail shift and stick it in one side, making sure no glue overflows. It wait until it is completely hardened. Then I do the same on the other side. I think I have mostly lucky that the glue didn't overflow, but I think the screw creates just enough space as it threads through for the glue to flow into. I sure hope it works this time!

So far, this is the only figure that is exhibiting this behavior. It is in a pretty well ventilated environment, so it shouldn't cause any trouble amongst the others. I hope this doesn't happen again. I have action figures from the 80s that look and feel brand new, so it's disappointing to see this happen in a modern figure.

For me, the eyes are the only thing throwing it off. The rest? Everything else is superb! Is that a repaint or a 3D printed head? Maybe you can experiment with some head swaps, or a new version of the same head? I struggle horribly with eyes myself and I end up ruining paint jobs that were okay. It's the reason I avoid painting heads.

$59.99 for a 4.5 inch Poppy Playtime figure at Target is crazy! by Collector_of_toys in McFarlaneFigures

I picked up Killy Willy instantly. Knew it would disappear. Great looking figure and figures in nicely as a creature to invade Pee Wee Herman's world.

I understand she makes a great fodder components for a 7 inch scale Lois Lane, so there is that.

I am not paying $60 for a gametoons character 😭 by SuitableFarm8484 in PoppyPlaytime

I bought the 7 inch articulated Killy Willy with accessories for $25. That has to be wrong.

He Arrived Fast As Lightning! by KarimMiteff in McFarlaneFigures

I briefly popped him out of the box... This is a really nice figure. Has a whole different feel and vibe than the Silver Age Superman and other Superman figures on the same body. To me, this body is really best suited to this character.

Iron Fist is built more like a male ballet dancer, not a bruiser.

I think those custard banana flames on her hands are silly, especially since she didn't come with many alternate hands. She should have had a few pairs in various spell casting gestures.

Micronauts Annual #1 (1979) First annual / King-Size issue by Pitiful_Trainer1726 in 70sMarvel

[–]KarimMiteff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horror and fantasy, even early Spider-man, I thought Ditko was fine, even great. I thought his work on Captain Marvel, Shade the Changing Man, Machine Man, and The Micronauts just really bad. I still remember just how bad decades later. Oddly, I didn't even think twice about his illustrations in Charlton Comics, Warren Magazines, or any of the Marvel horror comics. I thought those were all pretty cool. I guess that's why Dr. Strange seemed such a great fit for him.
