I haven't wanted to clog up the boards with my custom crap lately, so I'll post the myspace page I made with some albums:

I plan on a making another "New" Deadpool in the next week or so, with some more refined techniques (have a dremel now!). I've had quite a bit of success on Ebay (outside of getting people to actually pay), so it's been kind of fun. Other than the Deadpool, I'm giving Namorita a shot and from there I'll see where it goes.

You guys are lucky, I still haven't seen wave 7 anywhere. I'd really like that Barda.

I hope wave 8 isn't hard to find, there's way too much awesome. Especially since Gentleman Ghost comes with an inch tall Atom.

Those all look really cool. You should set up a Flickr or something just to show them off. It'll be easier to browse and link on eBay.

Can you add things like that to ebay? I've been trying to find a way to make an ebay template and link pictures without being charged out the arse on Ebay.

Games Workshop Sunburst Yellow; it gets even better with more layers, but I wanted kind of a rippled/defined/speedforce look (didn't turn out as hoped, but oh well) and I already had to strip it once because I layered it up too much and clogged the joints. He looked stellar the first time, but DCUCs can't seem to handle that much paint. A good, thin, white base coat with Sunburst probably would have worked even better.

Also, thanks for the tip PaperT, I found an amazing template builder which showed me how to directly link pictures in the auction for free with my own logo and stuff. It looks top notch and will totally save me almost 50 cents every auction.

Click Launch Builder, pick a template, alter some things and keep checking preview to see what changes, and play with it until you get what you like.

Once you get something you like, in the preview window up top it gives you various instructions as to how to get the code for what you're using.

There's a slight learning curve to it, but at max took me an hour to make something I really like.

I've been buying the hell out of DCUC lately. Picked up a New Gods 2-Pack over the weekend(Might go back for Batgirl/Azrael and Hal/Abin-Sur) and I've got most of the Atom Smasher wave coming to me in the post sometime this week(Except Aquaman, already got one. Anyone got his BAF part?).

The Toys R Us my roommate works at just got a shipment of the Atom Smasher set, plus a Batman without a series number. I'm going by after work to grab a Flash/Kid Flash, but there are also a few Bardas available if anyone wants them.

Does anyone know what the Batman fig's deal is? Apparently he doesn't have pictures of the rest of the wave on the back of the box. Is he chase?

I think he's part of the update wave. Diamond has him, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Firestorm and a few others available individually.

Yeah I think it's an effort to keep core Justice League-type dudes visible on shelves. They're going to keep them in circulation in a separate wave without a BAF part, they just come with little stands.

My Tru actually has the DC two packs for 24.99.
I really want that Orion, but i have no use of Lightray.
I want batgirl, but have no use for Az.
the cyborg superman/mongul pack seems pretty good.

here in Canada this whole line has been impossible to find for under $30.00 in comic shops.

the singles showed up and we skipped everything else and started with the Kalibak wave.

All that's still available at my TRU is two Bardas, a Kid Flash, and a Batman. If anyone wants I can pick them up tonight.

Also if anyone wants the BAF parts that come with Flash and Kid Flash I'll give them away if you pay shipping. I just don't care about Atom Smasher.

I bought both previous versions and didn't feel bad about preordering this third, especially since it's cheaper than either of the first two.

I went on a massive DCU buying spree a couple months back and got some various build a toy pieces if anyone wants them. Just shoot me a pm and I'll try to hook you up. What I got:
Two Gorilla Grodd Left arms
Kalibak's Right foot
Kalibak's Left arm with mace
Atom Smasher Left leg
Solomon Grundy's Right leg
Blue Beetle unopened (paint job is a little off) with Atom Smasher right leg
Captain Cold unopened with Atom Smasher head and lower torso.

edit: Shoot, I need platinum for pm's. Well just message me in this thread I guess. The problem with Blue Beetle's paint job is that one of the antennae on his face mask isn't completely painted black, I'm sure just a little dab of paint can fix it though.

How does that work exactly? Removable Hair and a face on both sides of her head? Hope I'm actually able to find that wave here. The only reason I got a Galactus and a Surfer is because a friend spotted them and called me up asking if I wanted them.

I can't wait to pick up the 6" figures, I think they're hilarious in a "classic 90s toys" sort of way. I really want the T-1, T-600, T-700, T-800, and the Aerial HK vehicle.

That's exactly how it works. I had to buy this wave online. So far there have been no retail (wak-mart, target..) sightings of these guys.
