back at Gil ref GAMBIT colours.

 

I now have a colour swatch of CITADEL colours.

 

looks like GAMBIT has Chaos Black trousers,with Warlock Purple design and possibly  Mithril Silver boots.   His jacket might be Snakebite Leather, hair Graveyard Earth and the blue on his shirt looks Hawk Turquoise.  Very hard to judge without the actual paints in front of me but the GW How to Paint book has the full colour range depicted inside.

 

Hope that helps.

 

BTW any of you chaps wanting  APOCALYPSE, GREY HULK and GALACTUS are  welcome to have a go in my prize competition.  Only a few tickets left...  http://www1.marvelcustoms.co.uk/prizecompetition.htm

Also we are running a comp for "custom" figurines; full details http://www1.marvelcustoms.co.uk/customcompetition.htm

if it is of any interest.  When the competition images go live I am sure you will be amazed at the talent out there in CMFC collecting-land.

Cheers

Steve

Such a slippery slope...

Having seen the upcoming Galactus, I finally caved on my FF stance. Here are the latest additions:



And now I'm thinking that when I do get Galactus, I need the Silver Surfer to go with him. And I really could group Medusa with the FF... and probably She Hulk could fall into that category as well....

Will of Landru indeed.

Here are some pics of the forecoming Marvel figures:

  • Deathlok (looks pretty cool)
  • Spiderwoman (looks pretty ... pretty)

http://www1.marvelcustoms.co.uk/newfactsfromem.htm

And I felt a lot relieved when I red this from Eaglemoss :

"... We're looking at Abomination and an original Iron Man ..." and this  " Doubt any of the New X-Men and newer books would be produced just because of the lack of character background", that's good news, I started feeling disapointed with the list of characters and the fact they are not "Classic".

But I am really sad about this "... I'm a big Guardians of the Galaxy fan but don't think they'll make it ...".

Too bad !

Everybody has a different perspective, of course, but one of my smaller complaint abou this otherwise excellent series is their taxing of the word "Classic". Gambit, Deadpool, Deathlok? These will never be "classic" characters. And I can think of a lot of figures I would have wanted to see long before they got around to Mystique, or Spider-Woman, or even Elektra. Just about anybody created by Lee, Kirby and Ditko, for instance.

I also respect anyone point of view, but it's just that I have the feeling that some of the characters just don't "deserve" to figure on the list : Gambit, Deadpool, Blade, Black Cat, Mystique !

I would have liked some characters like Bucky, the "classic" Xmen with the yellow/black (or was it blue ?) costume, the Inhumans (please, give me a special issue with Gorgon !), Absorbing Man, Blaastar, and a Giant Man (how can they produced a line of Marvel Comics Characters without Giant man ?!)

I wonder who established the list, and how do people at M***** know which character is more popular than another ? Was there a list of characters to vote for that I missed ?

Gambit's continuing popularity staggers me. I blame the X-Men cartoon.

Really? Chaos Black. I thought it was some kind of purple. I'll have to look closer when I get home. Thanks for the research.

No. But when I looked at his legs they don't look black but a dark dark purple. I suppose they could be black.

Speaking of repaints and the like…



Just had to get in there and add some "shadows" to the Thing's plates.
