 Is your cleaning lady dusting with a brick? 
 I have friends with the same kind of stories... I never have those issues with my girl. Guess I've been lucky so far! |

          Right?  I think they break them by moving them.  They pick them up to dust and in their speed to get the job done either pick them up from the wrong place (Hawkeye's bow) or bump them and they tip over (Wasp breaking off of Yellowjacket's shoulder).  Not intentional, but it's frustrating.  That's why I dust there now and tell them to leave that area alone!

          Sorry, been slacking off on posting updates.  Two weeks worth of blog posts, with Spider-Man 2099 and Wiccan.

          I never understood how you remove the Human Torch's classic look entirely

 This looks like some set the 1970s red-costume Johnny Storm on fire.

 |  To be fair, Marvel could argue that the Torch's look has evolved from his first almost total flame look to the mre styalised version that we came to love in the mid '60's to early '90's. However, they couldn't argue that the look has evolved for the better. And they couldn't argue that the look above was the 'Classic' look for the character.

          Can we please stop using "to be fair" when what we mean is "if the point is stretched to the breaking point"?

          However they choose to advertise "classic" using that Human Torch illustration, the actual Human Torch figurine is pretty fantastic.  Semi-frustrating in that many of the covers of the magazine that comes with the figurines don't necessarily do the actual figurine any justice.
