Custom Master Mold Heroclix
While on vacation to St. George last week, my wife and I decided to let our two oldest kids have 20 dollars of "vacation cash" to spend on whatever they wanted. While making a trip to Wal-Mart for supplies, Scott picked out a Spider-Man figure and a Cyclops figure, both from the Marvel Legends Sentinel series. While I can't bring myself to open action figures just to play with them anymore (hoping to maintain their collectability factor), I didn't mind ripping into the packaging and handing the figures over to my son. This gave me two pieces of the Sentinel, the chest and head and the left arm. What can I do with these? I asked myself. I decided I would have to just bite the checking account bullet and buy the rest of the figures in order to complete the large figure with the intention of converting it to an oversized Heroclix figure.
Once I had the thing assembled, I designed the stats for it, which I think will go over well should I ever decide to use him in a clix game. My next challenge was, how the hell do I create a base with a dial for him? After some deliberation and experiments, I solved my little dillema.
Taking an extra DVD case, I cut out the "L" window used on every Heroclix battle dial so the "1095 hours free" AOL CD could be seen inside. Then I carefully carved out an opening on the side so I could easily insert a finger in order to rotate the CD. I printed out the stats on some address labels, then cut and pasted them onto the CD, added on the other "printed" features of the dial and viola! Instant Master Mold Heroclix!
He has 25 clicks of play and comes in the usual ranks (Rookie/Experienced/Veteran) with point values of 600/900/1200 respectively.
Since this little project worked out so well and I have so many extra DVD cases, I now endeavor to create oversize heroclix for the other Marvel Legends giant figures (Galactus, Apocalypse, Giant Man) as well as the Marvel Select action figure, Uatu the Watcher.
I shall be the king of oversize and giant Heroclix figures! Bwahahahahaha!

sure wish i knew what you were talking about!
Go to wizkidsgames.com and click on the Heroclix link if you really want to know just what kind of crap we've involved ourselves with. I don't think any of us plan on growing up anytime soon.
Why the change in pics? Mr. Estrada doesn't "do it" for you anymore?
I see. So you 3 are bunch of kids in grown ups clothing! Wish i was into it so i could join in the fun. Alas, my hobbies are bit more adult in nature (i.e.: porn, smut-mags, anal, bondage, dp, etc, etc...). Seriously though, it's cool that you guys have this in common and have jobs and can afford to game away to your hearts content! Nothing worse than being a little kid and having to ask for money to buy something that your parents are probably gonna nix. Now, you can afford to buy whatever it is that you want.
Wife and i are going to take up RC-Boats (nitro), so that should be fun. New house we're building backs onto a lake, so we figure we'll sit inside the house in the game room, and race around from the comfort of our air-conditioned house. Nice to be an adult, with adult spending power, playing with expensive kid toys.
Any of you guys know anything about RC-Boats? JUST started looking into it, so any direction would be appreciated.
as for changing the picture... Ponch just wasn't giving me a stiffy like he used to, so i changed over to my beloved.
No experience in rc boats outside of the weak little rc Batman boat I got my son at Toys R Us a couple of months ago. We took it out to the lake at Liberty Park and I tried chasing down some ducks and geese with it, but it was too slow and they would just casually move out of the way.
Piece of shit. Oh well, what should I have expected for only 13 bucks?
