Bill,Gorilla glue makes superglue too and it works great for this stuff.
Be careful if you use it cause it's not very forgiving.
I love the pic of Terrax in front of the big G.

Other than about 15 more layers of yellow, this is about done.

I wish Eaglemoss had designed Terrax with a "rock" base, just like they did with the Abomination figurine a few years back... A must have, in my opinion, one of my favorite villains .... I just hope they will release Box one day ....

When the Abomination came out, I passed on purchase, initially. Only picked it up much later, when it was on sale, really CHEAP. Still kinda bugs me to look at my Marvel Eaglemoss display and see this one figure that doesn't "belong".

I'm holding out hope that we'll one day see a Ryan Maxwell original, though!

I received a delivery from Dreamland Comics* today. Daredevil, Polaris (I'm taking another shot at a Snowbird custom), Big Barda (who is heavy, but looks awesome) and Cheetah (to make into Tigra). I was surprised to see Daredevil available! *My fourth order from here. The prices on the figures are usually 10% off retail everyday and they just changed their shipping costs to <$75 total order is $5 to ship and $75 and over is free. Can't beat that, especially when sellers on eBay want $10+ each figure. Midtown usually charges me about $14. The downside is they aren't really good at maintaining correct stock on the website. Each time I've ordered I've managed to buy at least one item that they were out of. They mark it Backordered and hold your money until (IF!!) the product comes in. Indefinitely. You have to ask for it back, but they are usually pretty quick at doing the refund. I haven't had a single figure ship later on, so I just ask for the cash returned. This time, it was Terrax; their entire shipment was damaged. I'm going to give them 30 days and see if he shows up. Hopefully, their system works.

Wow! Just picked up Mojo from Forbidden Planet. I'm no fan of the character, but you have to be impressed by this model. It comes packaged like a Bowen mini-bust, has the same sized base as the sentinel, and is the same height as one too, at the tip of his chair tentacle. Full-colour box too.
For those interested, I think you'll be impressed.
As for Swordsman, not ONE (of the ten or so on the shelves of FP) had a straight sword, so be prepared to do some careful bending to make it look acceptable in your display.

I just took a big step in removing clutter from my garage. I realized I have about 5 big boxes full of empty figurine boxes in various spots out here. They take up a lot of space and I doubt I'll ever sell or repackage any of them. So, I started separating plastic from cardboard into bags, which will go into the recycling bin over the next few weeks. One box filled up two kitchen garbage bags. I'm looking forward to reclaiming the space!

I have a whole ROOM -- actually a large, walk-in closet -- in the basement in which I store the boxes the figurines and other statutes come in. Stepping into it is like stepping into a toy store!The Eaglemoss boxes I started long ago collecting in a big plastic bag -- AFTER I wrote the names on the characters on them!

Swordsman (very nice, and heavy too!), Owl (average) and, as Martyn said above, Mojo...very impressive! All arrived today. Getting a tad crowded in the 2 glass cabinets there....

CMFC Hammerhead is heavier than my Bowen Thing FS! Hope my shelf can take it!
