Thanks, Luckily I have both of those colors. I painted Strange the other night with Sunburst but it's a little too yellow. I tried doing a Black wash, then dry brushed with black, but both did not look good, Looking at the Golden Yellow, it looks like a better match. When I get some time later today I will try it.

As my addiction ----- I mean, my collection grows, I find myself casting an analytical eye on the figures. Some interesting -- and perhaps odd, choices are being made for poses.I'm guessing these are not all being sculpted by one artist, and I wonder how much the pose is determined by the sculptor. Several of the figures are in "action" poses -- Colossus, Phoenix, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, for instance -- while so far the bulk are simply in standing poses. It strikes me as an odd choice that the Panther is is a cool "hunting crouch" while Spider-Man and Nightcrawler are standing up straight. Colossus and Juggernaut are dramatically posed, while the Thing is posed almost casually. I wonder what the thinking is behind the selection of who stands how?

I certainly can't speak for any of the sculptors but some of the poses are taken straight from existing images, such as the Mystique. Other than that, I'd say it's probably up to the sculptor, subject to approval by someone at Marvel most likely.

BTW - I touched up my Dr. Strange. The Golden Yellow was definitely a better match than the Sunburst. You can tell the paint is a slightly different hue than than the original paint, but it's close. I debated just repainting both gloves, and still may do so, but for now I'll leave it. Oh, I also wanted to paint the 'leopard' spots on the gloves but decided against it.

Nightcrawler stands up way too often these days. As far as I'm concerned, he should always be crouched.

Just pulled up a currency converter, 12.00 is cheapest I've found in US, and they're about half that in the UK. But there's good news! My wife is from Scotland, so I can just have my sister-in-law order them all and ship them to me... mwahahahah They will be mine, oh yes, they WILL be mine.
I knew marrying a Glaswegian would pay off some day.

Good thinking Dave! There are some borderline ones I'd definitely buy if they were $6. Such as Gambit, Iceman, Loki, etc...
