I'm having a hell of a time deciding what to do and what to keep.  Ugh. 

Just sell them all.  Problem solved.   :D

Thank you Scott.  Probably wise advice anyway.

It's not like you'll never have the chance to buy another Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-man, etc figure again in the future if you change your mind and want them back.

In fact, if you sell them all, it'll make it easier to start over with the new 3.75" scale - less room and plenty of cheap figures on ebay since Hasbro is already repacking some of them into multi-packs or Comic Packs or whatever.  ;)

True, all of it.  But for the part where I'll start in on the smaller scale.  That's extremely unlikely (though probably not impossible  :'() to happen.  The only grand difficulty is in the loss of funds from what I paid.  The return relative to the original retail price in the U.S. isn't too horrible, but comparitively here it is pretty bad given the dollar is near parity. 

That said bulking them up as lots according to teams would make selling a lot more convenient.   :-\

I've just about finished off my Avengers 6" line with a few new customs from K&L.  I already have Mockingbird, but liked this version much better.  Hoping to get some ca-ching back by selling my current one.  Sersei is one I've been wanting for a long time - I'd like to finish her off with a Box-Set-Rogue Jacket to match my custom Crystal.  If anyone has a line on Rogue or just the jacket, please let me know. 

Here's a snapshot of my two new additions:

The one on the left is Sersei - I think she was around Avengers 250ish (?).  She's an Eternal that joined the team for a bit when it was her, Crystal, Black Knight and a few others maybe a decade or two ago.

The second is Mockingbird.  She was Hawkeye's wife and helped found the West Coast Avengers.  Mock was killed off many years ago, but the Skrull invasion brought about her return.  She has a new costume now, but I always like the old one.   :D

I finished up a 3 3/4" custom of Mystique today.











I've not too swift with a camera, so these will do for the moment.

I used a base figure of Ms. Marvel Carol Danvers, some paint and a snippet of my wife's wedding dress for the soft goods (shhhhh don't tell).

Sweet MU custom DR.  I don't remember her with hair that long, but it looks good!  Looks like a MU Ms. Marvel for the base, right?

Yeesh - I thought about cutting the hair, then I thought - well ****, she's a shapeshifter, it's possible.

Not yet - I've seen the other waves of the comic packs at Target first all of last year.

I think within 2 weeks we should have them.
