All I know about Wrestling is that they did a story arc where a coked-out space clown accused Stephen Amell, the actor who plays the Green Arrow on the tv show Arrow, of actually being the Green Arrow in real life and only doing the TV show to sow confusion.

All I know is that I got in a big fight with my uncle when I was 12 where I insisted wrestling was real because another guy cut Hulk Hogan's head and he was really bleeding. Outside that, wrestling's the equivalent of a daytime soap opera but somehow acceptable for nerds to watch in the evening without scrutiny.

You guys would all love Lucha Underground. It's pro wrestling produced by Robert Rodriguez (literally). Undead guys, time travel guy, actually a dragon guy, teleporting ghost girl, and all the plot stuff is actually logical and hangs together well. But yeah all other wresting is pretty garbage.

Yep, same legs as Odin/King Thor. Came with Marvel NOW! Thor and Iron Fist.

I have one of the legs from the Thor figure. Don't have the other one from Iron Fist through. You don't happened to have a extra Onslaught cape by any chance, as I had no interest in Cap America.

I want to custom build an LED Cosmic Cube for last year's Thanos BAF to hold in his open hand. I have the electronics components, but I'm coming up short thinking of a source for a clear plastic cube that's big enough to accommodate a 3mm LED, but small enough to fit in his hand. Any suggestions?

I don't know if it matters to you but they are very light and don't have a super high quality feel. Like they won't break or anything, but it's like the difference between NECA and Marvel Legends, but another tier down. But as I mentioned, that line offers some insanely cool accessories at 6" scale that you won't find anywhere else. I mean a loving pharaoh's mask, for god's sake.

Cocks Cable posted:How do you make Ares out of Odin? Weapons/head from Ares, arms/legs/body from the Odin wave, way cheaper and you only have to pack the inside of the head with something to get the peg to not bounce around and you've got an Ares, sans that stupid logo on his shirt if you don't care for that part.

Did anyone pick up the new wave of Diamond Select Ghostbusters that came out yesterday? I called one of my local shops (the one where I have store credit) and they said they didn't get them, but some of their sister stores did. But the guy might have been confused, because he said they had to order them from Diamond as a set (Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, and Dana Barrett), so they would probably only sell them as a set. That's a $75 purchase, and a deal-breaker for someone like me, who just wanted Venkman.

I'm checking tomorrow as that's when their trucks come.

I like the diorama, but to have to buy 15 figures to make it, and that includes doubles of Venkman and Stantz, and the Dana figure looks terrible.

I used the newly released Nuke to make a custom Crossbones, since the two ML releases of Crossbones are stupidly expensive now. He turned out well enough for me.    Really, I just took Nuke's head off and painted him various shades of black and gray. It was really, really simple. I wanted to incorporate the crossbones into the design somehow, so I painted Nuke's chest black and painted the crossbones design underneath the vest. I think it worked decently well. The knife is from Nuke and the gun is from McFarlane Halo Reach Jorge. The head cast is from http://www.clayorrnotcustoms.com/

Yeah, that blind stuff is usually guaranteed X full sets per case, but not 1 per box, so that people can't just buy one box and get it all.
