You guys are pretty informative, so I have a question for all of ya. I want to frame a Marvel Universe 3.75" figure MOSC somewhere in my house, any of you recommend a plastic or glass frame it could fit into?

I used a plastic beanie baby holder for my dcd cyborg supes once but if you are looking to frame and hang on a wall you might want a shadowbox like thing from michaels or hobby lobby....My LCS sells display covers too but for 6 inch in box figures and sports displays for like a football or basketball something like that might work

If you have a Tap Plastics anywhere in your area, they sell those kinds of containers to house sports memorabilia like Footballs and Basketballs. They have several different sizes so it should be large enough to accommodate action figures.

You guys are great, have another iffy. Bought a cheapo DCUC Sinestro from the GL 5-pack to swap heads with a spare Skallox head I have. So I pulled off the head and it came off easily, but for some reason, I had to go, so I popped his head back on. Don't know why at all, seemed like a good idea at the time. So a day later, went back at it, pulled of Sinestie's head and the ball joints that hold his head and connect it to his body came out. So now I have a GL body with stump that has a hole on it. How do I replace the balljoint that used to be there? Do they sell spare balljoints?Last edited by Scythe; 04-04-2011, 07:21 AM.

I use these to keep my figures standing, no residue and easily removable, plus you can cut them in half and go through less! This set is $9.99 and you can get it at most places that have a As seen on TV aisle or hardware stores.

I also will be putting LED's in it in each color but I am going to pour it in layers each colored for the corps with a transparent layer where the corps emblem is so it lights up."This is the strangest life I've ever known" The Doors

This may seem like an odd question but does anyone run into the issue of the legs on their figures spreading apart to far (yes I know this is rife for comedy). My figures seem to have a tendecy to stretch out in the legs are to the point where it looks like they are getting ready to do a split. My shelf is not near my heater or anything like that. Any insight as to why this happens? I was thinking of using rubber bands or those plastic ties to "bend" them back to the regular shape.I LOVE conspiracy theorists. They are like human versions of the cymbal clapping, dancing monkeys. No one takes them all that seriously and they get bored with them after about 10 minutes.

Hey, guys. I just picked up a loose DCUC Batman Beyond on the cheap, but the previous owner appears to have colored the batarang black & red with Sharpies. Any idea how I might clean the ink off without completely destroying the batarang? Thanks.I just wanna play.
I just wanna play a game.
One that you've never played before.
One you'll never play again I'm sure...
