To me it's just nice to see something Attacktix wise. It's been so long since we've had any type of excitment around here.

dude, it was a simple question. You dont have to be a d!ck about it. Meoooww! Hiss! Scratch!!! The nails come out and the fur is flying!! This atgscl guy had his feelings hurt I wouldnt share info on how to get some stuff. Its a shame really. But if he hadnt felt the need to attempt and call me out on not posting photos, he could have got all the SuperHero Squad stuff he needed at Dirt cheap prices.

Somehow, I have a feeling Webhead can seriously show up all of us. Maybe...but I've seen a couple things on this thread already that I don't have so...so this is cool for me too. Since I've got the camera set up, I'll try to get some more pics up still today.

I was just asking who your source was. It doesnt bother me that you didnt tell. I already have the Marvel series2 protos that I wanted. And I just needed the SHS for customs but I found ways around that

I've had a couple of people ask, so I thought I'd start posting some of my collection. First up, a group shot of all 10 tournament figures: Why are they bronze (or is that just the lighting)?

Just the lighting...they are all silver. Here is one of my favorite pieces: This is the paint master for the Scout Trooper...one of my favorite Star Wars characters...

This fascinates me, just what is a paint master? Is it the final color scheme? Have you ever had the chance to be in a Tix manufacturing facility and see Tix being produced? That would be tremendously interesting...

Hopefully of some new surprises this week.
Is there any interest in "replica" figures?

I think that is about what a paint master is. I remember hanging out at the close of a convention and Hasbro was packing up all the Galactic Heroes. They were very specific with their fellow employees to go ahead and put all the normal (store bought) figures from the display case in a box to pack up, but to leave the Paint Masters to be packaged separately. The paint masters are hand painted figures that may be used to see how the figure will actually look when finished and used to display at conventions. But I gather this from minimal experience, WebHead would likely know more.

Finally got to actually see my figures. I was away when they arrived.
All of mine work, MINUS 2.
One Nightcrawler kinda Exploded, from the striker spring messing up. But the other Nightcrawler is great.
But the *heartbreaking* loss, was that Scorpion came in 2 pieces.
SO I then broke the following figures to get a striker. Series 2 Obi-wan Starter 2x Spider-man Striker 1x Beast 1x Electra
The Electra is actually the closest to the size used in scorpion that I found. So I just have to pop the new striker in, and glue it all together and he will be happy again.
And I'm likely to repair the nightcrawler the same way. I noticed that both of my ones that were broke had writing on them, I'm guessing they were playtested to death.
Both Night crawlers had different color heads. I cant wait for my new large box of 20 prototypes to arrive later next week.

That would be tremendously interesting... Radar pretty much covered it...it's a production model hand painted to be used as the guide for the factory. I don't know the specific history of the one I have...it could be the only one, it could be one of a set, who knows. But it's fine to look at it.

Well another Overseas source may have just hit the motherload. I dont have all the details or photos. BUT SW5 and TF2 may be mine.. The whole sets. A guy in Beijing I used to get my LOTR stuff from, seems to think he has about 200 pcs. He didnt say Attacktix, but his description sounds about right.
Thats all for now. Back to the regularly scheduled nothingness.

Wow!
What else could they be? Nothing else should match the description...
Ki-Adi Mundi Gold has a nice striker mech for replacement.
Did your Kingpin work well? He really is a beast.

200 SW5 and TF2? !!!!! Wow. I know there were some TF2 made. I got to play with some of them at a tournament at a convention. But SW5!?!? That is really cool. Hope we can see some pictures and buy some extras off you
