i think they're just bases from ML painted, because the Hand is definately from Gambit Yup, those are just the original bases re-painted in a comic-accurate purple. The originals were in those weird red-and-gold colors, as if the X-Men had just defeated Iron Man. The re-paint is very nice, especially on the head, but the customizer should probably specify what exactly they did so people aren't misled.

Hey, who put the Honky-Tonk Man's head on Wolverine's body? "I'm cool, I'm cocky, I'm the best at what I do.."

So you're saying the store that's 101 miles from you has a whole stockroom full, right?

Heh.

OMG OMG OMG!!!! THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!! I AM GOING TO BUY THEM ALL!!! THE MAVREL UNIVERSE SUCKS AND I WONT BUY ANY OF THEM!!! THEY ARE FOR LOOSERS!!!! MARVEL LEGENDS RULEZ!!!! THIS IS SO AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's definitely not as enormous as the ML6 Juggernaut, but considering the ML version will run you $30 or more, the new SMC at $11 is definitely worth it. It's a nice figure with a good sculpt even if it is a little undersized. He's still much bigger than Spider-Man, though. In fact, there's a thread with side-by-side photos of all the latest SMC figures here somewhere. It seems counterproductive to refuse to buy this one because it's not the ML version. Then you end up with neither. Even if you do someday acquire ML Juggernaut, there's nothing wrong with having two different versions of the same character. I'm sure most of us here have multiple Hulks, Captain Americas, Wolverines, Fantastic Four members, etc.

These are terrific! Great work. Although Marvel Legends apparently has met its end, I hope we'll at least see these guys in the MU scale someday--particularly the Reaper.

Nice custom. The only small suggestion I have is to change the feet a little because Rhino's costume never had human feet. As I recall, he's usually drawn with one solid toe (like a boot) or 2-3 "Rhino toes."

Well, it's out of Hasbro's hands now. Walmart owns the product. I'm not sure if they've got them all in a warehouse somewhere or what, but they're the ones who've shown absolutely no concern for releasing this wave in the States. I realize it's a store exclusive and all, but you'd think Hasbro would at least point out to Walmart that this is making Hasbro look bad, and it's dicking over their longtime fans.

So there's still no updates on a U.S. release date? Do our members who work at Wal-Mart know anything, or can they check a computer or something? I'm really trying not to pay a fortune to the scalpers, but I have a bad feeling that these will never see the light of day in the U.S.

I'm assuming you paid online via credit card. Open a dispute with your credit-card company. You'll get a temporary credit back while they investigate. If indeed ToyGlobe hasn't done squat, the sale will get canceled and the credit will become permanent. Same thing if you paid with PayPal. Just make sure that you're still within your time limit to dispuate a charge. I think PayPal is only like 30 or 60 days.

little works of art, man. i'd love to see more

You're not jaded at all. In fact, this brings back bad memories. A couple years ago I won a First Appearance Iron Man, and the auction photo showed it with the mask on. Turns out it was because the face was missing some paint. I opened a dispute, and the seller agreed to take it back. So I send it back to him, and he pretends not to have gotten it until I catch him by e-mailing a scan of the delivery confirmation. Then he simply stops responding to e-mails and never refunds me. And of course, while I was trying to be all nice and reasonable, the time for the dispute ran out. So I just ended up getting screwed. Now I waste no time opening disputes. Too many sellers are complete frauds. But I'm glad your situation is on its way to getting all worked out.

Unfortunately, you don't have the luxury of being civil for too long. eBay doesn't give you much time to open a dispute or leave feedback--only 60 days. If he hasn't e-mailed you back in the next few days, open an "Item Not as Described" dispute through eBay, and open a dispute through PayPal if you can. (It's been a while, but PayPal still does its own disputes, right?) Negative feedback is nice and all, but it won't get you your money back. Make sure when you open the dispute that you properly describe this as FRAUD, because that's what it is. Also, I'm sure you already know this, but just in case, you can check out Stealth Iron Man in this site's Database to compare it to yours.

Just so you guys know, this thread was originally posted almost two years ago. pedrozd commented on several long-dormant custom threads (this, Chamber, etc.), bringing them back up to the main page.
