    Depending on where you live, the Hawk Guard is probably something you could still find in stores. Most places around me haven't phased out Series 15 for the Disney series quite yet, and the wings are a super-easy feel. Do they make grey wings? That'd be the 90's look for Hawkman for sure. Reminds me of the Total Justice figures from back in the day!

    Yup - Superboy, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash ;)

    Haha! A lot of those are great! Thanks for posting that.

    Here's a shot of him from the back, I used the Hawk Guard's gold pieces - figure I can always buy another Hawk Guard, isn't hard to feel those wings lol Here's another pic of him from the front, know my camera was foggy last night, it's much better now haha Wow, pics were way bigger than I expected, put the second one in a spoiler to save space.

    If this isn't allowed, feel free to lock the topic, but I was just curious to see if anyone had made any of their own Mighty Micro cars to match the 12 that have been released? Like Green Lantern or Wolverine or maybe even a character not from the comic universes?

    Yeah, New52 Ollie has those stupid yellow goggles. Yup, using those. The piece that comes with Hawkman is perfect enough for holding them. The gold wings work better if you're making a New52 Hawkman, where his wings were part of his Nth Metal armor, but in the classic Universe (which is what I prefer) he had 'real' bird feathers, and they were always depicted as white or gray. I am gonna pick up an extra Hawk Guard to use the gold pieces his comes with to keep the wings in place, cause technically the wings are part of a harness and not actually growing out of him like Angel, so I think the gold holders would look better.

    Mace from the Frightening Knight in the current CMF series. I happen to have two extras, so one of them is up for trades and the other got scrapped for parts lol, and his mace made it to Hawkman.
  8. retrotaco
    Love it!

    Here you go! Me, personally - I think the lack of musculature kinda ruins it for me, plus Wally's flash symbol is supposed to be SMALLER than Barry's, which it isn't here, soooo... I'd actually LOVE it if someone designed a decal with the same lightning bolts on the bottom like Wally's, but shrunk the logo and added matching musculature. Even EVEN better if they give the yellow on his costume more of a gold hue, like his later costume after Barry returned in Flash: Rebirth. I got moisture in my camera during work today, so the pic is blurry as hell, but here you go;

    Yeah, Iron Man has DEFINITELY supplanted Spider-Man for Marvel in the past decade or so. Kids these days know and care more about Iron Man (at least from what I could tell during my times working at summer camps and extended days) than they do Spider-Man.
  11. retrotaco
    I'll take a pic tonight after work.
  12. retrotaco
    Hahaha, yeah, I totally forgot about that hoverthing, I just threw the parts for it into my big collection. I'm pretty excited for that Bat-Tank, feel like it's gonna be another Javelin for me.
  13. retrotaco
    I personally love the Javelin and thought the build was quite fun. Plus, yup - the minifigures were great...right after I switched in some Chima wings for those plastic things they gave Hawkman lol
  14. retrotaco
    I searched high and low yesterday and couldn't find any without the armor on, but I personally like the color of it - I like Lex in the lime scheme more than standard green, makes him stand out more IMO. My Lex Luthor Mech's from the old set remind me more of Green Lantern than Lex lol
  15. retrotaco
    Aaaaah, yeah, I definitely can understand that - yeah, the boots would have been awesome, Lex's head isn't an issue for me, cause I have over 6 of those Lex Mech sets, so I've got over six Lex Luthor's lol - I'll just swap out one of those heads. I like that his power armor is different from the polybag, so you can have different looks for him too. Plus it looks like a few elements that can be incorporated into my Batcave. As a matter of fact, it looks like they switched out almost every purple element for green and vice versa when you compare the polybag to the new one;
  16. retrotaco
    I think I'm the only one who's excited for the Juniors set with Luthor lol
  17. retrotaco
    Not sure if this is totally on topic, but it's at least aimed back towards the topic lol; My local Toys R Us had some of the Age of Ultron and Guardians of the Galaxy sets on clearance, looks like they're about to clean them out, if you guys have a local TRU and still want some of those sets, I'd give it a visit!
  18. retrotaco
    Gotta echo some of the others, I really like the New 52 Nightwing minifig, but missed the blue one from back in the day and have no qualms with the New52 design in blue, cause it works enough as a fair representation of the tweaks to his looks over the years to me. and MAN, that Ras looks way better than I expected based off the preliminary pics we saw. Love the glowing green eyes on his young face, gives him a real villainous look, and his old face looks "classic" too.
  19. retrotaco
    So you'll buy the expensive set with the red boots
  20. retrotaco
    That's funny, the torso is the only part I'm pleased with. I'll want to switch out the cowl and cape for something that has a more...'desert survival' look to it, but unfortunately, I don't think that's really out there lol Yup, exactly - a brown cowl and cape and I'd be quite satisfied.
  21. retrotaco
    Yeah, got one in my last sweep - if I find another Centurion I'd definitely be down to trade for another Freeze, but yeah, as for now - just looking for Power Armor Lex for it :/
  22. retrotaco
    My only problem with the new cowl is the complete lack of matching flesh-tone for the head - he's either way too tan or way too pale - if they could just get that nailed down, I'd love it. I hope that Com-Bat or whatever from last page does have a better matching cowl, cause the suit seems cool enough, but it doesn't really 'stand out' as desert-like to me, y'know?
  23. retrotaco
    Yeah, this is the one I was thinking, I think the Piggy Guy has the closest shade to 'cotton candy' which is what I'm aiming for.
  24. retrotaco
    +1 to TogaFett2 :)

    Don't know if this is an idea anyone would be interested in, but it seems like the community is pretty split on either hating the new spongy capes or loving them (I personally hate them) so I figured it might be a cool idea to have a thread where people can trade the older capes for the newer ones. I am looking for an old style navy blue Batman cape, and an old style yellow Robin cape (the long one, not the short one), and an old style blue cape (that would work on Martian Manhunter) I have spongy navy blue Batman, yellow Robin, and blue Martian Manhunter capes to trade in return if someone wanted them. I also have spongy red Superman capes and spongy black Batman capes if someone wanted to trade those as well.
