I've been able to fix Scorpion and Kingpin. Actually had to take them apart , completley remove the striker mech and replace it. I have not attempted Mr. Fantastic yet, I'm apprehensive about taking apart the arm and maybe ruining it. I sold quite a few things on eBay, mostly Fly reels, to cover the cost to get these protos. If Hasbro ever does come out with them in the next year or two, I'll certainly feel like a horse's a**.

I shall post a photo of similar awesomeness very soon! Ok, if I see Zuckuss, Qui-Gon Jinn, Dengar, Ponda Boba, SnowTrooper in there, I'll be more than seriously jealous. If I see Colossus Mega, I'll faint! Do you think you can mold and cast a Yoda in clear plastic with a tint of blue? Not withstanding the cost factor? Probably far easier to paint a Yoda with a blueish over white transparent type paint.

Making a "ghost Yoda" would be fairly easy. It would just be deciding if someone actually wanted to use it as a striker, or change it to a "non attacking effects piece" The one downside with making homemade bootlegs is the non shooter figures will not be as strong as the production stuff.
Its fairly inside to replace the guts inside of a gun to make it fire, but when you are making the strikers, its likely only a matter of time before the striking mechanism results in death of the figure.
Now if someone wanted to do like a Half and Half Yoda, Using the Body of a Real Yoda, and replacing the head with a Spirit head, and painting the upper torso as if he was fading away, that I could see being fairly neat.

That is a pretty sweet collection there attacktixman.
I am very pleased in general at how this thread has turned out.... At least we can find something new to talk about attacktix wise eh?.... I am looking forward to butters previously mentioned picture of awesomeness.

Those are awesome! I would have to sell my first born child to afford those. Hmmm...She would understand, She knows how I feel about attacktix, But her mother would probably not go for it. oh well Those really are great.

Actually most of those in that photo are on ebay right now for about 18 bucks shipped to the US. So no children selling needed.

The only stuff I have inhand is about a half Dozen TF1 test shots, and a Pink and Black Mr Fantastic. The other stuff is in Transit. Seemingly the Slowboat from China.

PS: It appears that my old new Contact is going to be able to score me at least a couple of the Super Hero Squad Spider-man Saves the day sets... He is gonna look for the Winter Solider Saga in the next few days. Score.

I'm not going to buy from Dreamcab. His price for shipping is ridiculous. I've ordered stuff from China in the past and have never dealt with that kind of shipping charges. I mean $4 for each additional figure! Give me a break. Like it kills him in shipping to throw another figure in the box. He can go to that hot place reserved for scalpers.

For the time being, all I will say is its just an old friend, that went MIA for a bit, but he showed back up. With Marvel and Transformers Attacktix no less.
Total of 17 dollars shipped for those 4 figures. Only thing wrong is that Goblin doesnt have his missle, nor does storm have hers.
Also its basically if He found out there was a market for them that was fairly decent sized, he'd be likely to take advantage of it. I'll gladly work out deals with members here for whatever I get in that I do not need for my set.
I'll start posting pictures of what I have in hand tomorrow. Its nothing too awesome, like half dozen-ish Series 1 TFs, and Mr. Fantastic. Insecticon Mini-Con White Mini-Con Production colors unpainted Prime Fire Truck Ransack Battle Ravage Starscream And I may have another 1 or 2 somewhere.
Actually I may do those photos now. Just have to find the Camera.
