Marvel Legends Shang Chi by Loosecollector – the Filipino customizing collective is back with a deceptively simple-looking custom of the Master of Kung Fu, who comes with interchangeable hands, an alternate head, and a set of nunchuks – I’m still partial to my own custom of Shang Chi, but LC’s is so smooth and clean – ends Mar 12, 2013 18:04:53 PDT

We almost had an Angels and Demons theme this week (posted late because I’m on the road).
Marvel Legends Daimon Hellstrom by Cal – I can forgive the use of the modern Hellstorm name on this classic Defender – just a couple hours left so don’t miss out! – ends Mar 07, 2013 18:10:55 PST
