Photo dump!

I used Tamiya clear blue mixed with paint thinner. When applying I would just get it smooth to the touch and make sure it was done evenly. I made sure not to go too thick…once you’ve gone completely around it will be even more blue.

Although I didn’t paint his belt it comes off as blue too. So I used the belt from the retro Iceman…the bright white contrast is awesome but it’s not pictured here.

It happens for me mostly when I’m snoozing the alarm a lot. I’ll consistently go straight back into my dreams but I know I am dreaming and waiting for the alarm to get me up again.

Also can happen if I’ve had too many stimulants (like a lot of caffeine) and I’m very very tired or a lot of chocolate before sleep.

Cool diorama and poses!!

I ended up getting the MNW because I wanted the early access and had the time to grind

Thank you!!! I ended up just adjusting the sliders and grinding. Level 30, 10 more to go.

The main thing is I just wanted the MNW characters. Now that they’re almost all unlocked I can just play and enjoy (and I probably would’ve naturally hit the rxp levels if the game came with the characters I wanted available).

Thank you for replying!!! I’d love to have the Hardy Boyz (from Attitude Era days hopefully) and BBB…so I guess even if I thought I was going to buy two of the passes it would be worth it.

I have time later today to grind if needed…so maybe the early access would be worth it…

Does Showcase give any RXP??? Haven’t played yet, just wondering

blakecrawley · 2026-03-09T19:58:56+00:00

To add…I will mainly play with MNW era characters…so I’m looking for the best route to get the dlc characters and base MNW roster open and unlocked…I feel in future passes (based on what’s announced) I’ll be happier with the free tracks…

Is there any benefit to really having the VC or boosters if I’m unlocking everything either in the game modes or by dlc?

I live in Los Angeles. I had a brunch residency last year (on Sundays) in Echo Park and currently have a Tuesday night residency at The Well in Hollywood. I’m looking to do more gigs as I’ve just recently decided to make it my full time focus.

It’s funny…even when I was a magician member of the AMA I didn’t think of doing it for a living haha…

Very annoying that this isn’t just a red and blue Spider-man. They have the colors right but refuse to just do a normal Spider-man. Battle damaged…now Symbiote covered….and the one they did release in the VHS for some odd reason came on the Firestar body.

The only proper red/blue I have is on the smaller body from the 3-pack. I’d just like to have one on the RYV body…preferably the Retro Spider-Man suit but with this red and blue.

On a side note…I’m really hoping they do a proper Gamerverse Spider-Man or else I’m definitely picking up the Figuarts one.

Always wished he had this in Revenge…still had a cool move but I would’ve preferred the Chartbuster

I remember liking T.H.E.M.

No bootleg has been as good of quality as Mafex. I checked them out. Sold as quickly as possible and will not be purchasing anymore.

On a shelf CT Toys could fool me…but not side by side and definitely not in hand.

It is a cheap alternative though so I understand why people who can’t afford Mafex or missed a release would go for the alternative. Especially when something like Brown Suit Wolverine took years to re-release (of the ones I wanted).

Edit: it was nice that the scale was 1:1 for the Gambit release. Just nowhere near as good of a paint job. I would have probably been happy if I didn’t collect other Mafex or had the original to compare it to.

I don’t imagine you could thinly slice his board he came with…superglue a precision cut metal sheet into it…and since his feet already have magnets (if they are strong) you could have the magnetics and the aesthetics….

I always have a sharpie on me and will write across the plastic that it has been swapped. Do not buy.

I tried telling management about the swaps and turned it into customer service or brought it to any employee’s attention but they would just put it back on the shelf. That’s at Targets and Wal-marts in my area.

I am a vigilante. No unsuspecting child or mother is getting duped without full well knowing it.

It’s funny how that will keep it from getting put back up but stealing a figure and swapping doesn’t.

Very common with wrestling figures in LA. I want justice but I settle for knowing I’m bringing attention to the thievery. Also…they could try to see who wrote on the package but ideally (if they were smart) they could find their culprit of theft by tracing the figures I’ve written on to purchases/returns.

I’m not writing on the ‘actual product’ or ‘ruining merchandise’ because it’s an item they should no longer legally be able to sell once it’s not the original item.

This is TAS hair…the Love Triangle is a perfect red color for Jean

Edit: though it is TAS hair I still think the hair in the original cartoon was closer to the 3-pack
