"Introduction"

Had this "cut-out" made and it was a "no-brainer" that this display had to be done.

It seems weird to have them shaking left hands but it makes sense when you have a "Right Hand of Doom".


I'm surprised the "coat" belonging to "Gambit" fits "Abe" perfectly. The "jacket" from "Wolverine" on the other hand doesn't fit "Liz" that well but I think I made it work.

"G'Nort"

Finally received this fig after a loooooooong delay. Its very limited in "articulation" with zero joints on the legs but it does have movement on the jaw and tail.
Thanks to "Jeremy" for the "rubble" pieces.

"Foes"

Received "props" from China and was a little annoyed that the "Christmas tree" was crushed in transit.

I reminisced about the final scene from the first "X-Men" movie where "Prof X" and "Magneto" play "Chess" against each other. I was able to re-enact that scene with the new "props" I received.

"Under observation"

Been wanting to do this scene since I saw it in the novel.

I don't make "dioramas" so I used a "cut-out" to replicate the scene instead with just the "Liz Sherman" figure in the "foreground". This is really the beauty of A.C.B.A.

"Hell's Kitchen"

I've been to "Hell's Kitchen" but its nothing like what is depicted in the "Daredevil" comics.
The "Billy Clubs" are from the new DD fig. I wish they had used plastic instead of soft rubber.

"Origins"

I am a "diehard" fan of the source material so it annoys me when "scriptwriters" choose not to respect the "comics" and do their own storylines. The "cinematic" version of "Hank Pym" seems pretty boring to me so I was puzzled when "The Antman" movie received rave feedback.
I understand that "Hank" had yet to be introduced to the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" but I didn't like how they "credited" the creation of "Ultron" to "Tony Stark". I still consider "Captain America: Winter Soldier" the best "Marvel" movie so far.

"NYC"

NYC is my fav city in the world and "Daredevil" is my fav "Marvel" hero. The 2 go hand in hand so I naturally had to do this display.
This release of DD is way better than the "Spider-Man Classics" version. The only disappointment with this fig is the "Billy Clubs" which are made of soft rubber.

"HISS!"

Made a "cut-out" specially for this scene. This was an opportunity to have "Elasti Girl" by herself without the members of the "Doom Patrol". The "cat" came with the "Ripley" figure from "Alien".
 
"Instagram" version with "Antman".

"The Claw"

"Lobster Johnson" is one "badass".
Besides being fearless and a "sharpshooter", he burns his "kills" with his "claw" symbol. I'm still terrible with the white "backdrops".

"Johann"

Probably my last entry for the "Whitehot" theme. This time I used "Johann" in a "vanilla" pose with just his "Ectoplasm" hand "prop".

"Pancakes"

Got the idea and "cutout" for this display from a "Hellboy" scene from when he was a young boy reading a "comic" while eating "pancakes". This is my 2nd entry for the "Whitehot" theme.
