Garett- I use those Ikea cabinets for my collection. I have 11 of them on my walls, along with 4 of the stand up glass cases (that it looks like you have)for 12" figs and statues (I need to get more of those...). The wall units are great, but a bit of a pain to hang. Get really good wall anchors and plan on making some good size holes in your walls.

I keep waiting on my walls to come crashing down...

We will now sit back and await complaints that the twins should have WHITE
hair. . . .

**********************************

JB ... was it supposed to have been white?  I always thought it was supposed to have been black.  But, I'm asking just because more often than not, because of the limitations of shading with colors in comics, I always thought that black was shaded with blue, not high lighted with white.  So to be perfectly honest, I really never knew where the twins hair color fell in ... I just always assumed it was supposed to have been black.

I can easily repaint mine, I just want the set to be your vision of what you intended the characters to look like.

JB, I know you own the Sideshow Collectible Thing Bust. What's your opinion on this Thing?

The fists remind me of your art. Unlike the infamous Mike Turner cover with the bulldozer-shovel jawed Thing, this doesn't bother me nearly as much. It may not be quite "classic" but this is a Thing and not a muscular dude for sure.

Oh, and I know what I forgot to ask: JB, did you design that THING logo above? I feel like it appeared sometime around the solo series got started?

I've never liked any of the various redesigned Thor costumes over the years...until the new one. I think it fits the viking/fantasy aspect of Thor perfectly.. Never thought I'd say it, but I like the new Thor costume design even better than the classic Kirby design.

I picked up the Captain America/Red Skull Super Hero Squad yesterday, mostly for the personality shown by the Skull figure. Cap's sheild is finally removable for his hand also.

What's your opinion on this Thing?

••

An excellent sculpt, but not really my favorite vintage.

Also -- the THING logo is not mine. Likely to be Jim Novak.
