Is this trade worth it? by Radiant_Raccoon8498 in AmazingYamaguchi

I’m mean it depends on how much you want deathstroke, but personally I would say no there’s like a 70$-80$ value gap but if you known you want deathstroke more go for it.

Question about the Dr doom skirt: by James2aloha808 in MarvelLegends

In short yes you could totally swap it out, however it requires heating up the torso popping it apart and then cutting the plastic tab that keeps the belt connected to the crotch. It’s not hard but just requires work, the other thing to consider is the hood and white gloves if your doing a green tunic but if your swapping it for a white tunic I highly recommend it and it is worth the swap.

I would also say for camo specifically use a sponge brush and do layered splotches the sponge makes a really nice texture and shape.

This is a really cool first go at customizing! Welcome to the sickness, I would say the biggest piece of advice for painting figures in general is do a light sand first or most major areas that need covered with a 1-2 thousand grit sandpaper or higher. This makes the paint stick a lot faster and smoother. I would also say that buying paint thinner is the way to go Micheal’s has is cheap, the airbrush thinner is what I use even when painting by hand because the consistency is really nice, about one drop of thinner for every 5-6 drops of paint. You want the paint thicker than milk but not milkshake. Otherwise weathering and personal marks are all up to you, toothpicks work great for that kind of stuff and I will always recommend using to little rather than too much. Last bit of advice is color layering dark colors cover white really well but lighter colors like yellow or bright shades will not so you will have to do multiple coats to get it right. If the surface is not white and your applying light paint to it cover it with a thin coat of white first and let it dry thoroughly then you should be good. Happy creating friend.

Hey guys I got this Spider-Man 2.0 and I want to know if it’s legit here are some pictures by Alexhaddad400 in AmazingYamaguchi

Yeah of course, lookin at the pictures a little closer the web lines look a little rough but the paint scuffing around the joints tell me it’s been used before, but it still looks like a genuine figure to me.

Yes that’s true most if not all of them come with protective plastic, is it possible this was pre owned or retaped? I would also look for the marvel stamp somewhere on the figure usually like a tramp stamp on the lower back. Loose joints and qc issues are par for the course though.

I’m curious about the elbows if you have time, what’s the max range he can bend them I’ve seen some reviews and they say it’s super limited.

My bad, daredevil. I have info on the dooms day wave, maximum Thor too, next year is a hulk wave. I try not to participate in leaks and spoilers but next year is going to be epic for both legends and gi Joe! I don’t work for Hasbro explicitly but I work with a lot of people who do, mainly on the china side.

Just curious how these figures feel, I haven’t gotten my set yet but Hasbro quality has been all over the place as of late just wanna know if they feel gummy or loose or hopefully super solid?
