Thanks FB for setting this up and looking after this for us! I don't customise (crappy fine motor skills), but I have alot of crap lying around, so I'll always keep an eye on this and see if I can help.  |

Only thing that comes to mind that I need for customs at the moment is a ML Series 8 type Doc Ock body and 2 of the mining hat that came with the DC Direct Black Mask. I have way too much stuff to list to trade for them. |

Andy - My 'White Queen' comment in the other thread was just a reference to the fact that when I do come across leftovers on the shelf they are usually WQ or Hercules from the ML Annihilus series. But I have to confess that I do own the WQ figure and she is truly an abomination. There's a thread idea - "Ugliest action figure ever"  ? I haven't done a custom yet, but I will be soon. I'm a wargamer too and just finished setting up my workspace for painting miniatures which I'll extend to toys too. Just wanna get my airbrush setup as it gives a much better finish than a brush. Not sure where you all reside, but here in Canberra it's tough to find cheap 'basic' figures for customs. Hasbro ML go for AU$30 when you can find them and don't even start me on the lack of DCU stuff. |

If I ever tried to start wanting space for customising, my wife would probably kick me out. |

I can relate there,most of my DCD Fodder has come either from friends or some real bargains on Ebay.When i was in the USA last year though i picked up a plethora of cheap DCDs which was awesome. Only thing that comes to mind that I need for customs at the moment is a ML Series 8 type Doc Ock body and 2 of the mining hat that came with the DC Direct Black Mask.
All i got is a Movie Doc Ock sans Tentacles if that's any use.Sorry mate! |

I suppose it varies from area to area, but what are the best stores to visit in the US for toys? (Target, TRU, Sears, Walmart, etc)

Well i saw quite a lot at Target when i was in LA and Target and TRU in Chicago.Most of what i got though was from Comic Shops,you wouldn't believe what they reduce down to next to nothing,something that i've never seen happen here. I stumbled across this one shop in Anaheim it was amazing,all it sold was Action Figures absolutely nothing else.There were thousands of them,i nearly had a fit!!!!! Best bit was it was when our dollar was at US0.97C,i had a ball!!!! |

I used to live / work in Anaheim circa 89-91 (see post elsewhere on Andy's starving artist phase). Fullerton actually. It was a bit of a hole. A place like that would have redeemed it for me!
