The generic shield head, ultimate nick fury, DC head?, Conan. I have some being repainted/modded.
Generic one is just a placeholder for a repainted head, ultimate fury represents Gabriel "Gabe" Jones, Conan is no one, DC head is generic black agent, and I had a Clint "Ronan" Barton repainted into Clay Quartermain.
I'll probably buy female agent for Contessa Valentina Allegra di Fontaine, and a male agent for Jimmy Woo.

Very nice idea to use the Ultimate fury head because you can't see the eyepatch. I went to tru last night in hopes of getting the new 2 packs and they still have nothing. All they had were 2 Banshee figures. Which I wasn't going to waste my money on. I ended up getting one of the marvel universe 3 packs.

Keep dreaming, it's hard to get into companies like Mattel, Hasbro, etc.

dont you have to intern first and then gofer around for a long time before you could get close to a serious sculpting position in the company? the only company i remember putting out a wanted ad and taking interviews was McFarlane Toys, but that was like 5 years ago.

Yeah, my brother applied for internships with Mattel and Hasbro this year, and wound up against hundreds of others.

Yeah, my brother applied for internships with Mattel and Hasbro this year, and wound up against hundreds of others. Dang man thats crazy Did you brother go to school for toy design? The only accredited school that I know of on the East coast is F.I.T. & their toy design program only accepts 20 (that number might be high) students a year into the program. There might be more colleges that offer the program elsewhere, but I don't know where. If you brother has just got raw talent & no schooling I'd suggest he contact some of the smaller model makers/studios in your area that might take him on in an internship capacity. It sucks to start at the bottom (especially in this economy, but it's better than nothing). The problem is that most companies outsource their sculpting/prototyping to independent contractors so getting a job as a sculptor with a company is tough, unless there's an opening in their model shops. He should also have a working knowledge of sculpting in a digital format: maya, solidworks, rhino, etc... |

He actually wound up at a rather prominent local magazine that he is VERY happy with. |

I went to my comic shop today and I was gonna get a bunch of comics that I'm way behind on. And I saw that they had the skrull-kree 2 pack for $26.99. I was gonna buy the 2-pack but instead I got the comics. I only had like 50 bucks on me and I couldn't afford both. I'm hoping on going back there again this weekend and try to get it again.

Thanks to smarch, a member from TNI, I took his advice and was able to trade for G.I. Joe movie guns to arm most of my kree soldiers with cooler weapons. I also sliced and made holes in the closed hands. I only gave guns to 4 of the kree since I equiped the other two with guns I had in my drawer. I got a good amount of guns for the next batches I get. Here's 3 pics with the G.I. Joe movie guns:    |
