Black Series Tie Pilot, Jedi Luke, and Darth Vader

I finally found a tie fighter pilot to go with my Tie Interceptor.  Thankfully he was shorter than the storm trooper and fit nicely in his fighter.  I also purchased Vader and Luke and thought I would include some pictures of them.

Rocket Raccoon's Guns

 I designed a couple of hand blasters for my Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon. They were modeled in sketch up and were 3d printed on a Makerbot.

Tie Interceptor Finished

I finally finished up my Black Series scale Tie Fighter Interceptor.  While I was originally planning for a fighter I made the last minute decision to go ahead with the interceptor - basically because I like the design of the interceptor so much better and I don't know if I will get around to making multiple of these things.  Once I get my x-wing dug back out of moving boxes - I'll show a side by side comparison.   

The wings are made out of plywood and chipboard that was laser cut into the various pieces.  Some progress pics:

I built some supports (in black) to get the angle right for the wings as the glue dried.

The blue and green pieces were 3d printed with a makerbot.

Tie Fighter - Star Wars Black Series (post 1)

I have been modeling and 3D printing a tie fighter to go along with my Star Wars Black Series figures.  I have the main body done - I just need to get on with the wings.

Amazon exclusive Slave 1 and Black Series Boba Fett

This is a comparison of the Star Wars Black Series 6" Boba Fett with the Amazon exclusive Slave 1.  The Slave 1 is made for the 3 3/4" scale figures - so it is a little undersized for the 6" Boba.  However it still makes a great display backdrop for him and is a fun vehicle in its own right. 

Marvel Select Ultimate Hulk Review

This figure must have just had a rerelease because I just picked him up at my local comic book store this week.  Overall I am really happy with him and it is nice to have a grey hulk represented on my shelf.

Pros:

Great sculpt – detailed and a good likeness

Good paint – on the rerelease anyway (I know there are some older figures that have a horrible dark grey paint app)

Good size – fits in well in either the Legends or Select scale

Cons

Articulation – It is serviceable and you can get him into several different poses but the lack of knee and elbow joints really hurts him.  Considering he was made back when Select was making figures that were closer to statues his articulation isn’t half bad. 

He feels a tad hollow compared to recent Marvel selects.  It doesn’t feel like he is going to break apart he just feels very light.

Amazing Spider-man #378 Cover with Marvel Legends

 Maximum Carnage was not the best comic crossover in the history of comics but it happens to be the one back in the summer of 1993 that got my 10 year old self into comics.  I still remember this cover sitting on the shelf.  So 21 years later I have reproduced that cover with the new Carnage and spider-man figures from the Marvel Legends Infinite series (and the Marvel Select Venom).
