It allows for brighter colors and less glare with the new set up and works with all colors...well providing I don't make a tan-stone-colored custom. But unlike my black fabric background a figure wearing black won't disappear!<br /><br />Also you know how we need clear colored paint more than the primary red, blue, yellow, etc that Tamiya and Testors has? Well I found the answer, acrylic Suncatcher paints! They sell them in sets at Walmart for $2.50 and have pink, purple, even black and neons. They dry to a super hard finish and work on all the plastic ]]></media:text>

But not our children? The future of our country is left defenseless in "gun free zones" so clearly marked it's like an open buffet for psychopaths?<br /><br />Then I watch these sick twisted, liberal types like NY mayor Bloomberg wanting to TAKE AWAY gun from good, honest people and allow criminals to have their run of illegal weapons, able to kill anyone, anywhere without opposition. It blows my mind. I mean with this kind of mentality our children have never been in so much danger than right now.<br /><br /> ]]></media:text>

I really don't update these very often and apologize about that. You know I create custom action figures and where to find them. (check the links at the top of this journal if you didn't!) But in the rare instance I think of something that needs a general view I'll post it in a journal entry, it just doesn't happen that often. Happy Halloween!<br /><br /> ]]></media:text>

I also can't imagine how the young lady who survived the mall shooting one month earlier must have felt just to be struck down there. It's like you just can't win sometimes. She and the rest of the victims are up in heaven waiting to reunite with their family.<br /><br />http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-07-20/shooting-movie-theater-denver/56351098/1 ]]></media:text>

I had gotten busy (still am, sorry about that) and forgot all about it. That was really, really nice and it's great to know people out there care about me, what I do, and the hobby of customizing seeing as that's what I'm all about.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Usually I don't use my Journal to sell anything, especially my customs. I'll use it to whine, make casual observations about life, or complain about Ebert. But this week is special. I'm auctioning off my Jin Saotome figure. The one with all the hand sculpting, new head, posable scarf tails, and MvC2 look to him. Over the years I've tinkered and upgraded Jin to the point where I was happy with him finally. That means he's ready to leave my collection.<br /><br />Also up for grabs is the rarest FFVIII Guardian Force, the Ultimate Weapon! He's huge too. So snag em now! This is me pimping my wares, shhhh! ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So, Disney bought Marvel and all that it entails (toys, movies, etc) I figure I'll chime in with my two cents since everyone else's journal today is on that topic and I need a new journal entry. First, you can read about it here: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/Dispatch/market-dispatches.aspx?post=1241188&GT1=33002 Then you can make up your own mind whether this is a good thing or the end of the world for Marvel Comics as we know it.<br /><br />Comic-wise I've been disappointed with almost all of the storylines and plots. If I see one more retcon Mephisto-makes-you-forget crap I'm gonna scream. Maybe Disney will help fix that and hire so ]]></media:text>

If you remeber I mentioned that I obtained my professionals badge. That was so that I could send in the Programming Participation Form detailing the custom show officially. Joe Acevedo and Jesse DeStasio all helped out in contacting the SDCC folks they knew to get this thing up and running, unfortunately it seems this year they just weren't interested. Sunday's programming isn't up yet but I'm pretty sure they would have sent the confirmation emails and not waited till 2 weeks prior to set ]]></media:text>

They submit their art that took months of work and sit back all proud thinking "Isn't this something special?"

Read through the article and you'll see it says 'Marvel Studios to produce'...that may be the only, and I mean ONLY saving grace. Because if Fox had it's way you'd have the movie about the Mimic instead of Deadpool. But I'll give it the benefit of the doubt because Marvel Studios is attached and they're integrating all their superhero films into one 'universe' as it were, with fairly canon stories about the characters.<br /><br />We'll just have to wait and see where this goes. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ It's an april fools prank, but not on us... on Fox. Someone swiped and uploaded the whole movie, sans some CGI effects and the missing 15 reshoot minutes. [Updated] they're dropping off the net like flies. But you can still see it here: http://www.watch-movies-links.net/movies/x-men_origins_wolverine/<br /><br />Personally? I think Fox ruined Deadpool's character. Diehard fans are not gonna want to watch it in the theaters after this. I'm not going to see it just for this very reason, they screwed up the characters like they did with X3. So watch the movie online at your own risk. But I wouldn't waste 8 buck on it. ]]></media:text>

If not that link will take you right to the article. Every pic has more of the interview so check out all 12! Of course there's the classic mistake of them calling action figures 'dolls' but I think everyone does that unless you're in the figure collecting biz.

After that 1st place goes to Hasbro! To my knowledge SWARM is the first 25th Anniv custom to have a light-up system. *crosses fingers* So, wanna vote for my custom?
