I don't know what's up with Photobucket, every time I post a picture it says it's unavailable.... ugh!!!!


I had the issue with the hair, it kept popping up even after I removed the felt inside, I ended up putting a few small magnets in the back of his head so it would push the hair down in front. Now it looks great… The pictures were before I put the magnets in... I'll post some new ones tomorrow

Yeah photobcuket has become a pain in the ass, slow and pics are missing... I unsubscribe.

Can you show where did you put the magnets (and where did you buy them) please?

That's a sweet display man, congrats ! Everything seems to be flowing nicely. Do you have enough room for everyone else there ?

The hair goes on the head with a small magnet in the back of his head, I just added a few small magnets on top of that one so it would push the hair down in front. I'll post some pictures later tonight.

I bought the magnets a long time ago on eBay, I just happen to find them in my drawer when I was looking for the scissors...

I have enough room for 2 more if their bases are small enough... I was going to try to squeeze colossus in there but I'm not 100% sure he will fit, his base looks pretty big... I have two more shelves below the one the X-Men are on now, so I have plenty of room to expend that way...

Which case is that you are using, if you don't mind me asking I'm looking into getting some nice cases for my collection, something that will hopefully fit at least a few of my soon-to-purchase statues without having to upgrade or buy another very quickly down the road.

Great lineup btw, really love the pieces you collected here. Looks great!

Looks great man! Just take X-23 out for Colossus and you have the best X-Men display out there.

It was a custom-made case I had made for my guest room.. This is an old picture of it...
