Well, an even quieter news month this time, guess it's to be expected in the run up to Botcon. The only news of note is that Scorponok has been announced as one of the exclusive toys. It's been a long time coming, but I think I'm going to see what PerfectEffect offer up before committing. Looks pretty good though.
I've bought some good stuff this month; Masterpiece Sideswipe and MMC Razorclaw, they're both in my pile of loot, but really looking forward to getting them in hand. (And the rest of Predaking for that matter!)
I recently became aware of a website which specialises in extra parts for 3.75" scale stuff, it looks like some really good stuff for helping with customs. I've started picking up a few figures ready for such customs as well identifying suitable base figures, for instance I'm keen on a Marvel Dracula (modern) since Hasbro look unlikely to go anywhere near. I reckon an Age of Thunder Thor (with torn cape) supplemented by a few Hand Ninja parts will form the body, then just need a good head and a sword. I'll have to try and create some spikes to complete the look.
I think I will wait until after SDCC before starting anything though! They've also got some nice Iron Man hall of armour display stands, looks like a scaled down Hot toys stand to me. Expensive but looks pretty sweet.
I'm slowly working my way through the pile of loot I shipped in February, I opened Abomination and Rhino, nice mold. My Hulk display is looking pretty awesome now, just need a trio of Wendigos and it'll be done.
I'm planning a couple of big purchases in May, roll on!
