I finally got my figs from wave 1!!! Excited to get "Steve Rogers" and the "Extremis Iron Man". A more complete and updated "Avengers" display. My complaint about "Steve" is that his shield is too small. It does not scale well when he is holding it. The "Iron Man" is a tad small but I love the detail compared to the "Iron Man" movie line versions.
Mucking around with my smartphone camera effects. I have the right left of "Terrax" if anyone is interested?
Can't wait for my wave 1 "Thor" to arrive.

"Hulk Vs Skrulls" reloaded
I finally redid my "Hulk Vs Skrulls" display. My green "Hulk" is part of my "Avengers" display so I substituted him with the "Ultimate Hulk" instead. I'm happy with the final outcome.

"Marvel Legends: Spider-Woman"
A "Marvel Legends" fig that I bought together with "Wonder Man" from the same "eBay" seller. I was motivated to buy her because she is a key character in "The Secret Invasion" storyline and "Boog Nice" loves this fig.
The packaging wasn't mint afterall as I found a hole in it whilst taking pics. That changed my mind about keeping the figure MISB. I thought of posing her with "Loki" but realised that was not wise because her right leg is very loose. I ended up placing her on a flight stand.
I would have to say I'm disappointed with the figure. Besides the loose leg, her torso joint and wrist joints are horrible. This is my least favourite "Marvel Legends" figure of all-time. I'm thinking of selling her together with the "Modok" BAF head.

"Marvel Legends: Wonder Man"
Don't really know much about this character as I have only seen him a few times in the comics as a minor character but I decided to get him nonetheless because he is an "Avenger" and was on sale at a reasonable price MISB. He comes with "Yellowjacket" as his companion. Contemplating getting the variant version too.

Portrait
The day started out exciting when I received a package at work. I ended up working overtime again and it was late when I got home. I quickly opened up the package only to find 2 crooked figs. The "Hawkeye" had a heel that wasn't flat and the fig can't stand with his left foot flush against the display surface. The "Iceman's" right leg is shorter than the left.
I originally planned to pose "Hawkeye" in my "Dark Avenger's" display but realised that this version is not sinister looking enough. I probably have to commission a custom or pray for "Marvel Legends" to release one. I ended up creating an "Avenger's" display instead. I placed the "Ultimate Iceman" with "Colossus" and "Nightcrawler". "Gambit" from the "Marvel Select" line was not to scale with these figs and I left him out of the portrait.
To top off a bad night, I broke the wrist joint of "Thor" and now the fig doesn't have a left fist. Disappointing.
Close-ups taken during the day. I love the "Avengers" display but I'm missing an "Iron Man". This display will be updated soon with a modern "Cap".

"Hulk Vs Skrulls"
My 6 "Skrulls" finally arrived on Friday night!!! I got them as a bundle from the same seller on "eBay". Disclaimer... I did not steal this display idea from the upcoming "Thor" movie. I conceptualised it way when I first won the auction. I was thinking to myself which character in the "Marvel" universe is powerful enough to take on a horde "Skrulls" simultaneously and the "Hulk" came to mind.
My original display was destroyed because one of the figs fell down knocking over the rest. I had to start from scratch again and it took me 2 hours to get the display stable.
I'm not happy with the final outcome so I will likely redo the display.

"Secret Files: Joker"
Interesting depiction of "Batman's" arch enemy. Not in his trademark purple suit but in the floral shirt and berms. Love the pistol, SLR camera and short glass.

"Last Son: General Zod"
Fellow "Kryptonian" and formidable nemesis. I definitely remember this villain from the early "Superman" movies and I love the modern look that the illustrator gave him in the "Last Son" storyline.Awesome detail on the fig with the flowing coat, eye-wear and even a tattoo on his neck. A fig that I've been wanting for the longest time.

"New Krypton: Superman"
I've been collecting figs seriously for 2 years and it is strange that this is the first loose "Superman" that I own. I like this version of "Supes" because he is not in his trademark blue and red suit which is refreshing. He kinda reminds me of "Christopher Reeves".
