Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Sif, WWE Elite Hulk Hogan, 1/6 Scale Blade Runner

This week’s customs are all high up on my want-but-can’t-have list:

Marvel Legends SIF by JLA – I really do wish that Hasbro had gotten on the ball and made a Thor Marvel Legends wave or two – although I’m generally not enthused by using DC Universe Classics figures for Marvel characters (and vice versa), this custom really works out well – I’ll have to compare the sizes to newer ML Thor, though, because I wonder how Sif measures up – ends Dec 07, 2013 20:49:30 PST
WWE Elite Hulk Hogan by 1more2come – this is a relatively simple custom but fills a gap in all our Mattel WWE Legends collections – with Hulk recently re-upping with TNA, it’d take a miracle to get him in the Mattel WWE line-up, even if it’s just a flashback figure – it’s too bad Marvel Toys / Toy Biz is no longer in the game with its TNA figures – ends today, Dec 03, 2013 18:47:19 PST
1/6 Scale Blade Runner Rick Deckard by thebatmancollector – this custom combines elements from Sideshow Collectibles, Hot Toys, and costuming from Android Hunter – I think there’s enough of a cult following for Blade Runner that Sideshow or Hot Toys could pick it up – if Sideshow can make a Snake Plissken, certainly there’d be more options for figures from Blade Runner – ends today, Dec 03, 2013 15:16:18 PST

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill, Nova Prime, and Wonder Man

This week, I found some more custom Marvel Legends that I’d like to have in my collection.

Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill by Leech Customs – whether you prefer the Marvel Select Thor or the newer Marvel Legends Thor, the problem is that your Beta Ray Bill from back in the Toy Biz days is now a bit undersized – I’ve been thinking for a while about transposing some parts onto a newer Wrecking Crew body, and now I can see it will work out just great – as an added bonus, Stormbreaker has been enhanced with a very nice handle that hangs the way it should, no matter what position the hammer is in – ends Nov 28, 2013 18:54:15 PST
Marvel Legends Nova Prime by Draubner – there’s some really nice sculpting work on the armor pieces added to this custom, and the paint work is nice too – comes with alternate unmasked head and a custom base – ends today, Nov 26, 2013 07:40:37 PST
Marvel Legends Wonder Man by Stevid Customs – there’s so many characters that would benefit from the new Hyperion body, and Stevid is working through them – this week he’s not only got Wonder Man, but also Luke Cage and Gladiator – ends Nov 27, 2013 18:09:37 PST

Weekend Toy Run: Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon Wave at Target.com

We’ve seen them go in and out of stock at Walmart.com this week, but this weekend, you’ve got another shot at the Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon wave at Target.com. What’s great is that they’re priced at $14.99 – sure, Walmart had them for 2 pennies less, but they’re out of stock again there. No surprise, Jean Grey is sold out already, but that leaves the Wrecker, Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Scarlet Spider up for grabs at Target. No sign of Punisher or Blade.

You can get free shipping if you spend over $50, or if you have a Target REDcard (which also gives you 5% off). Happy shopping!

Too Good to be True – Walmart.com Shipping Marvel Legends Punisher Variants, Not Blade

Our pal Paul has gotten back to us, and unfortunately, Walmart.com is shipping out the Marvel Now! variant of the Punisher that has been shipping with cases of the Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon wave. He had hoped that because the listing shows Blade as the main picure for the item (and oddly enough, the regular Punisher with the white skull as an alternate picture), and because the cost was a little more than the other figures in the wave, that they actually had Blade in stock.

For those of you who did order hoping for Blade, you will be able to return your variant Punishers (assuming you don’t want one for your Thunderbolts team) to your local Walmarts. Mike G – sorry we didn’t find this out before you put in your order. I know you’ve got 2 on the way – if by any chance you get a Blade, let us know!
