Just want to see how it looks. Thanks! Why do you want to see Hulk next to a Blue/Gold team member? You should get that Hulk anyway, imo. Dorkside shipped the X-Force wave this morning. Quote

The Colossus in the set is Classic Colossus and it is close. The noticeable differences are the arm guards, belt, shoulder area of his costume, and knee area of the boots. If you’re thinking about getting the Hulk, you should get the Hulk. 8 minutes ago, Mommar said: Why do you want to see Hulk next to a Blue/Gold team member? You should get that Hulk anyway, imo. Dorkside shipped the X-Force wave this morning. Thanks for the replies, guys! Really appreciate it. For the Colossus, yeah, I'm thinking the same thing because from what I remember Jim Lee's Colossus have those arm guards and the rest of what you've mentioned. And for me to get a loose figure of it since I don't need Juggernaut, is almost the same price as the set so I'm just considering of getting the set instead. And just wait later on if they will make an actual Jim Lee Colossus. At this point, I'm just ok for now on getting the figures that somehow resembles Jim Lee's X-Men since the recent released Gambit doesn't look like Jim Lee's. Sorry, I didn't like his hair somehow. hehehe. As for the Hulk, I'm just thinking random ideas on what to do with it just in case I decided to make a custom figure using that body since I've read it's the best articulated Hulk figure out there. And hopefully, proportion-wise it's in good scale when I see it beside with a Blue/Gold team member since most of the other figures I have for future custom project are using the same body mold. And getting is now is more practical than getting it afterwards with a higher price. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Posted July 26, 2019 Here are the two to compare. Dorkside shipped my X-Force wave this morning as well. Quote
Mommar Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Can confirm Thor at Target. No sign of Iron Man though. Quote

Mommar Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 prime2da1st is taking Arcade cabinet orders on Instagram again if anyone is interested. Pricey. $70 for six player X-Men cabinet and $50 for the four player ones. No discounts on multiple orders either. Quote

lechuck Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) They gave that Cyclops those terrible single jointed jacket-arms again, and it is especially annoying because the upcoming AoA X-Man has the perfect arms for it. Edited July 28, 2019 by lechuck Quote
Mommar Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 The target website is confusing. It says Colossus is in one store but there’s no instote pickup. Quote
Mommar Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I decided to stop by that Target anyway. The guy says it’s in store but for some reason they can’t find the location. Translation, employee is taking them. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Posted July 31, 2019 Some people are using Retro White Storm for Gold Team. I’ll put her in an animated X-Men display. Quote

Mommar Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) So I’ve been rearranging my shelves and I might have a decent fix for the Jim Lee Colossus look. The modern Colossus has gauntlets that sort of resemble the older one’s though the color and styling doesn’t match. It might be a decent fit though. I just double-checked images of the upcoming Colossus and the arms are exactly the same. With a little bit of paint to match the color this solution should work alright. To get it to match you'd probably want to sand down that little yellow bit at the front and putty in/smooth the yellow ribbing at the back. Then take a dremel and make a few circular indents around the circumference and obviously paint match afterward. Or just call it close enough. lol Edited August 2, 2019 by Mommar Quote
Mommar Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 If you don’t look too close where Nightcrawlers thumb is located using two right hands works alright from certain angles. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Posted August 2, 2019 I’ll see if I can customize Colossus. X-Men Arcade came in. Beast head coming in soon. Quote
kanedaestes Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Where are you getting you’re beast head? Quote
Mommar Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Well Dorkside screwed up. Korg/Grand Master showed at the same time as Colossus/Juggernaut. One I wasn’t in a rush for, the other I paid extra for faster shipping. Somebody decided to lump both orders together and go with the slower shipping. Quote

sh9000 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Marvel Select Colossus is only a little bit taller than Marvel Legends Colossus. The torso, arms, and upper legs are around the same length. The lower legs are longer. Before I try converting Marvel Legends Colossus into Gold Team Colossus, I might try converting Marvel Select Colossus. The X in the belt is in a rectangle at least. With the parts of his costume that are removable on the Marvel Legends version, I think Hasbro will still release a variant Colossus though. Edited August 3, 2019 by sh9000 Quote
Mommar Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 I just don't care about those two Spider-Man announcements. The only positive thing from it is that White Rabbit's Costume comes dangerously close to Emma Frosts old school Costume. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Posted August 4, 2019 Yes a lot of people are saying that about White Rabbit’s costume. Quote
