Yeah, I already have plans to redo Guardian's head, it's too small and isn't rounded off at the nose, kind of like Bowen's bust. In my fervor I didn't notice the costume isn't painted right either. Hopefully, it's early enough that Eaglemoss can catch at least that. Big sigh...

If you're going to reshape the head and repaint anyway, you might want to
think about popping the wings off an Angel figure to make Guardian, Ryan.
He's the right height (unlike Captain Britain), and the right build.
The Surfer would be a good option, too, depending on how vigorously his
board is attached.

Good ideas, both, John. I still haven't finished the two figures I started on a few weeks ago, so I really need some "me" time this weekend. First, finish the Captain Marvel paint job and then get She-Hulk done. I'm not happy enough with her resculpted hair to move on to the costume/boots/gloves. I also want to add something technological in Reed's stretched arm...Buy another Vision and Byrne-ize him...Give Cyclops the Classic treatment...Modify Phoenix a bit...Add some sand to Sandman...
Too many ideas, too little time. These little guys are lots of fun!

I'll pick up Guardian, but I do hope they fix that flag.

oOOoo I like the idea of the technological device in Reed's hand... Ultimate Nullifier anyone? ^^
And I agree... the flag needs to be fixed. The nose, eyes and fist after that.
why do I keep picturing him in a luge?

Mark, I posted this a few pages back, but here's my inspiration for that idea.

Great idea Ryan & love the pic :) ... I have to say that I do love the idea of redoing reed's stretch arm & putting the Ultimate Nullifier in it to get someone close to this image (burned into my brain with the subtext "omg that's cohonas...")

Email received, Super Skrull is on the way. He should be here a week from today if UPS takes their usual detour through L.A. I'm going to hunt Rogue down today or tomorrow.

I'm passing on Rogue. Although the wonderful Polaris sculpt got me to pick up a figurine that I would have otherwise passed on, I have no particular affection for Rogue and the sculpt, to me, isn't good enough to compel me to shell out the money to own it.

I bought 3 more figurines today (Iron Man, She-Hulk and the Thing), as I found a small shop close to Paris who have all the figurines available (even the special ones). Now I know where I have to go to complete my collection.
