I don't have any pictures of figures I've fully painted before because they're long gone. There's a reason I junked them or sold them off. Well, I do have this one, but I only painted the white part on the upper body so it could go with the black lower body, which is why it's the best paint job I've ever done. As for paints, I've used Tamiya, Testors, Apple Barrel, and several others that are sold at Michaels and Hobby Lobby.
Well, the white part on her does look good! All I can suggest is to thoroughly wash the figure with soap and water and thoroughly dry it prior to painting. And, be sure your paints are fresh and well mixed. And, stick to the Tamiya/Testors/Vallejo/Citadel brand paints...they are quality paints and will probably give you the best shot at a decent paint job.
Firestar won Fwoosh's top 10 Marvel legends fan poll. Nice! Official Fwoosh 2019 Top Ten Poll Results |
I know largely jack shit about Marvel characters outside of the movies and the 90s X-Men cartoon. But, I found this on Marvel’s website while thinking about characters I like to see get made. A to Z in Marvel Comic Characters | Marvel
Other than Dr Strange and Falcon (we've seen enough of both), I absolutely love their list. It's largely X-centric. Shadowcat Kitty and hound Rachel are absolutely at the top of my list, and we really need that Longshot to fill another slot in the Outback era. And poor Avalanche, we've never gotten a proper one to go with the rest of Freedom Force. And YES, Nimrod is my #1 want on the BAF side. I didn't vote at the fwoosh (I didn't know there was a poll), but it sure feels like I did!
For a BAF I would like Uatu and MODOCK. They had Mephisto and Blackheart on there for BAF which is weird but if that's the only way to get them, fine. Seems like they should just be regular figures though.
In the Toy Biz days, they probably would have been. Hell, Blackheart was a regular release. But under Hasbro? Anyone they can't put on a normal size body and has something irregular about them... that's a baf. Especially for Hasbro to "cost out" a lot of the unique sculpting Blackheart would have to get him right like the haunches and what not.
only thing i hate about that Fwoosh list is the #1 don’t care for firestar at all, i agree with most of the other picks.
We have? I mean, sure, there were some movie Doctor Stranges, but when did Hasbro do a classic comic design one? And other than one movie Falcon, I have not seen any comic book Falcons. I am the only one in the world who wants The Enforcers.
Falcon is coming for sure. They're going to use those new Vulture wings. That's why it was a waste of a vote. Probably won't be the 1970s Village People version though.
While I don’t have anything to add to the list with respect to characters that have had few to no decent toys, I would like to add that there are some popular characters with decent toys already that I’d like to see get a re-release. Since I’m new to ML figures, i missed out on a reasonably priced blue suit Cyclops and a 90s Rogue. I’d also like to see Kingpin in a 2-pack set instead of having to buy that entire BAF wave or paying $100 just for the completed Kingpin by himself on the aftermarket.
