They do make for some interesting fodder later, though!
Next one was as much a product of boredom as the last one:
Yeah beards. BEARDS. BEEEAAARRRDSS!! So I took pictures of figures and then took a picture of Randor looking the same way the other figure was so I could cut out his beard in paint and put it on them. Time well spent!
Next one is a sheath I slightly modified from a Marvel Legends Taskmaster:
Worked out pretty well!
Now the final pics were just a way to show folks what I had been doing with all the packaging.
I got a problem with keeping packaging. Thankfully I've gotten over it and I've managed to toss out a bunch of different useless packages. At this point I had decided to finally get rid of the packages for MotUC, because they take up too much space! So I cut out the filecards, keep those....and for some reason keep those MotUC logos. They aren't stickers, so I don't know why I'm keeping them. I am also keeping the parts that have the names of the characters on them, though I do plan to use those for a display someday in the future.
Mer-Man: "AAAUGGH OH GOD WHAT'S THIS THING ON MY FACE"
ReplyDeleteOh, and yeah, anyone complaining about MOTUC QC apparently didn't grow up with Toy Biz and Todd McFarlane QC. I mean I remember that Toy Biz Robin from the '89 line that was supposed to have a karate chop, but the little trigger on his back was broken in the package. And of course the aforementioned Purple Joker.
THEY CALL HIM SEA-BEARD
DeleteToybiz was seriously the bane of my collecting existence back in the day. I didn't have many 90's breaks, but the Marvel Legends series was just plagued by it. As I said in the post: I've still got figures breaking. Other toylines will have breaks, but it's usually one or two - Toybiz figures just kept doin' it.
And GEEZE, I'm friggin' following you here. I might as well just be standing over your shoulder giving a running commentary.
Fine with me!
DeleteWhy doesn't Teela have a beard? She needs a beard.
