the figures have a white label on the back to mark ownership. i haven't marked mine, but its becoming difficult to keep who has what figure during some of the battles between me and my friend, so i was wondering what other people did.

I mark any but my silver based ones. I keepmthem unmarked, because if they start going for stupid prices on E-Bay, I'll sell them in a heartbeat. Keep in mind though that not marking them isn't going to keep them mint so long as you battle them. My Bail Organa is less than a week old and has scratches and paint chips all over him from previous battles. -Ray

I know I could but I have some kind of thing with writing on my 'toys.' So for now, they will stay unmarked.

Pheonix,
What about all those HeroClix with a little flower on the bottom?

Pheonix, What about all those HeroClix with a little flower on the bottom? Joe, Well on heroclix you stuck a sticker to the bottom of them which came off really easily. And I didn't want you to steal my figures! These are jointly ours so I don't have to 'mark' them.

I am thinking about it but once you mark them they are untradable. Once I am happy with my collection I will probably mark them.

I think marking them just devalues and ruins them. No doubt a Hasbro ploy to get kids to buy more so they don't have their friends name on when they trade.

i was thinking of buying little stickers, like tiny circles. something that won't leave any glue behind when removed.

AVery (I think) makes those little colored dot stickers which can be found in stationery sections or office supply stores. You can use a different color for each team to tell the figures apart quickly without resorting to (gasp!) writing on them.

I come from a model building background. I like originality. Since I fell I will not part with my attacktix figures I was thinking of personalizing them on a different level. Giving troopers for example, battle damage. Is this unethical for me to do, someone outhere with an opinion.

Customizing your figures will be cool. Just make sure you don't plan to enter a Tournament with them, the rules as far as repaints and resculpts are not out yet.
If you just want to paint them to look cooler, I say go for it!

I was thinking about painting some clones too. And my Brother wanted to paint unarmored vader's lightsaber red.
