That’s right, I’m adding a new section to Mint Condition Customs: Guides and Tutorials!

Ever wanted to learn how to create your own custom action figure? Well just check right here.

I only have two guides up right now, but expect to see lots more real soon covering a wide range of customizing techniques. Right now I have the following:

Here, I teach you how to safely crack open an action figure while still keeping the pieces intact.

And here I teach you how to repair a broken peg with a screw.

I hope that these and any other future guides I offer help out as many people as possible with learning how to create their own action figure art.

Hasbro Marvel Legends 2012 Ghost Rider Steve Rogers Terrax

Hello again! I know it’s been a while, but I’m back to reviews. Here I’m going to continue my look at wave one of Hasbro’s new 2012 Marvel Legends. For this review, I’m looking at Ghost Rider and Steve Rogers. These are both the variants though, so Ghost Rider is the one with orange flames, and Steve Rogers has the clear shield. I still haven’t found either of these in their normal versions yet. So how do these stack up against the rest of the wave? Keep reading to find out!

1.) Jason Cue asks: Will there be any chance of getting the rest of the Lanterns done in the DCUC/DCAS size (i.e. Saint Walker, Indigo-1, Munk, etc)?

Something we would love to include as we get to more colored lanterns in the future!

 

 

2.) Jason J Walter asks: Hi! I was wondering if the Vertigo line of characters was under Mattel’s contract with DC and if so is there a chance we could see a John Constantine or Sandman (Morpheus) in the sub line in the future? It seems that these characters were almost tailor-made for the smaller, direct market, so why not pull the trigger and get them made? Constantine especially wouldn’t be difficult to make as large portions of him could be re-tools.

Announcement – Updating the Comment Form

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve added an extra entry in the comment form. I’ve added a captcha to help control the spam comments.

I know, captchas are annoying, but this one isn’t hard. It’s really just an easy math problem you have to fill out. The spam is getting out of control for me, so I needed something to help combat that.

I apologize in advance if it inconveniences anyone, but I really needed to do something. Thank you.

1.) Jason Walter asks: With all the recent trouble with subscriptions getting cancelled and the laundry list of complaints from customers, what will it take for Matty (and Mattel) to drop Digital River as their site runners? It seems to me that there is just one major problem after another and they NEVER get back to you when a question or complaint is made.

We are working on major improvements to roll out over the next 2 months. We have heard you!

 

 

2.) Tony Antoniuk asks: When will Matty make a proper sized Mongul and Doomsday? The same size as the C&C Darkseid.
