    Its a shame they stopped including the books after the first wave...would love it if Punisher had come with one.

    Ok that custom Wolverine turned out great. I still need to go back and rework this complete lineup when I discover that 25th hour where you get to work on hobbies.

    Out of all of those sets, I kept the Modern Spider-Man and Cap, and made a TON of fun customs out of the other parts. I liked those sets, warts and all.

    That Wolverine came out great! I understand the desire for removable cowls and whatnot, but this looks much better using the molded mask sculpt. I hate fabric glove cuff, but the length of your cuffs looks very good too. Usually they are too short or loose and don't have the appearance of gloves.

    I need to just order a custom head of Wolverine to redo these images (also I thought I went with the bigger Hulk?)
    I have some terrible pictures of my awesome yellow Wolverine. I made a mold of the orange Wolverine head and cast it in yellow and painted it. I painted some brown hands blue and made some fabric glove cuffs. He is really fantastic looking now. I also put him on a type-s body. I boxed him and didn't want to take him back out, so the pictures are not great.

    The Daredevil set was pretty good but the others are a mess . I did'nt get Deadpool but his set looks pretty good too.

    If it was a sticker, people would have complained about the sticker falling off. This is the internet we are talking about.. people will *always* find something to complain about.

    The sets weren't perfect (and they were admittedly pricey) but I am still very fond of them.

    I adore the Daredevil head sculpt, it's the Mego Daredevil I'd always wanted in my childhood.

    There certainly are some nice pieces in the sets. I am actually loving the Commander Rogers suit and accessories from the ThinkGeek exclusive

    . I'm also glad to hear its not just me noticing the non stretchiness of the suits. As someone who primarily customize using the type S bodies, it was very obvious the fit would be tight.

    Ok true I did replace the Star. I had forgotten about that. And the suit is distinctly non stretchy. The army uniform was good tho

    Solid idea, but the execution didn't always work.

    I loved the red suit Daredevil, but I had to do some slight modding to get it where I wanted it to be. Modern Cap looked like he was wearing a diaper, so I replaced the suit with a bleit1701 suit. I display the repro Thor and Spider-Man (please give us a non circle Spidey, Mego!) and the yellow suit Wolverine, which is eh. I might still have a Deadpool, but I sold most of that set (not a fan). Repro Cap had a weird cut and shiny suit.

    The extra suits felt too small for any other body and the body that came with the set was a great body, but it seemed different than the Doc Mego body sold on his site, which did not feel as good as the DST body. But maybe that was just me.

    I took off the floppy star and added a sticker one.
