I see your shelf is lifted a bit there. How much taller than a regular Detolf space is he?

And what did you use for that? I just realized I have three extra detolf shelves and I could maximize my Superman cases.

Its about 1/2 inch too tall with the stand.Without the stand, the tip of his head is barely too tall. It could be displayed without raising the shelf if you didn't use the stand, and the knees were bent. I raised the shelf by an inch or so.

That should be fine then. Bending his knees a bit makes for more of an angry pose anyway, since I want to do the Rocket on his shoulder pose.

Has anyone had issues with the IKEA lights not staying attached to the mounting tape they come with? I have one that continuously keeps falling.

Yeah it's not great. Go buy some 3M mounting squares and cut them to fit your needs.

I think Jakks did a 12" Batista at one point but I can't remember what that line was called. I have a bitchin Undertaker from that line.

There's the Ring Giants Batista, which is weird and exaggerated. They never made a Batista in the more realistically sculpted Maximum Agression line.

So I never even thought about this, because I've only ever bought "Normal" toys before, but are accessories like Cap's shield made out of metal and stuff? I'm so accustomed to cheap bendy Safety plastic, I never even thought about what happens when you get a two hundred dollar Thor figure.

They're metal (the last few anyway). This one has magnetic hands so the shield can attach magnetically like in the movie. Thor's hammer is metal too. (not real Uru)

Hawkeye, Hulk, Scarlett Witch, Vision, Black Widow and Ultron should be out by the end of the year. Ultron Mk1, Iron Legion, HulkBuster, Iron Man Mk45 are slated for next year. No word on Thor or Quicksilver.

Are we posting pictures of our recent Hot Toys Dollies? This came for me earlier this week. I need to come up with a better pose for him, but I'm hoping I can get off my butt and 3D print either the front end of a delorean or make a lil clock tower diorama thing for him.

Also, love that the flyer (doesnt stay in his hand very well flattened out) has the number Jennifer wrote on the back.

I was waiting for the hall to open at SDCC one year and talking to a guy who was into large polystones. He talked about how as his collection grew, so did the price of what he was buying. Pretty soon he was getting massively expensive pieces and trying to figure out how to explain the cost to his wife. He finally came up with just telling her that it cost $50 in cases where it became really expensive. He figured $50 was enough to account for a piece that looks expensive but not so much his wife would get ultra pissed at him. It seemed like a pretty decent idea with 2 problems.

1) With inflation and everything, there'll come a point quickly where $50 is no longer a good enough price, but as long as you push it up a little after a while, you should be ok, except for problem 2.

2) His wife showed up just in time to hear all this.
