MARVEL ACTION FIGURES, COLLECTIBLES AND COSTUMES

A spider web is a true marvel of nature. The animals connect several widely spaced points with thin, elastic silk threads.
The flying thread that results from this procedure consists of a bundle of 50 to 60 individual threads, each of which is just 250 nanometers thick. That's 200 times thinner than a human hair. Due to its special structure, even a small gust of wind is enough to set the flying thread in motion. With the first movements, the spider releases more and more thread from its spinnerets, until the flying thread gets stuck somewhere. However, a spider cannot influence the direction in which the flying thread is carried, it depends solely on the wind direction.
The spider proceeds systematically and routinely when setting up the entire orb network. The construction of a new cycle network takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the size. The flying thread of a horned garden spider can be up to 50 centimeters long. Since spiders are mostly loners and cannibalistic catch and eat their own kind, they are usually careful not to get in the way of other webs and spiders when stretching a new web.However, there are exceptions, such as what is probably the largest spider web in the world discovered by researchers in September 2018. It wasn't a single one, but a 300-meter stretch of coast in the Greek lagoon city of Etolikos was completely enshrouded in spider webs. A large number of favorable conditions had prompted the so-called Strecker spiders to create this unusual web network.
By the way: Researchers discovered what is probably the largest web ever made by a spider in Madagascar in 2009. Caerostris darwini ("Darwin's bark spider"), which is only 20 millimeters in size, builds webs that reach across rivers. The bridge thread can reach a length of up to 25 meters.
Yes, this is a real character. Look it up.
I've had this figure complete for some time but never got around to posting it.
Wolverine has and probably always will be my favorite X-Men and I've been wanting to make this figure for a while.
Idk what version of his suit he's based off of, this is just my favorite costume and I'm very happy with how this figure looks. :D
Let me know what you think of the figure and let me know what character you'd like me to make next. :D
So I recently caught up with Deadpool comics and one of the things that stood out to me was the new Deadpool 2099. I really like the design so I knew that I had to make this figure.
(the eyes are actually stuck out to mimic the lenses, but you can't really tell that in this photo)
So, let me know what you think of this figure and the character as well. :D
The 'Marvel' tugboat on Sydney Harbour.
Returning to port after having escorted a cruise ship out to sea.
Photographed from Upper Pitt Street, Kirribilli.
I have used my Canon 75-300mm zoom lens so you can see all the details on the city buildings, as well as the historic Campbells Cove precinct across the harbour.
The 'Marvel' is a tugboat built in 2020 (4 years old) and currently sailing under the flag of Australia.

Merci et à bientôt.
The Sea of Galilee (the Kinneret) is a magnificent geographical marvel surrounded by pretty rural agricultural settlements. It’s famous because of its prominence among New Testament writings. The whole of the Galilee is since this is the place where Jesus lived. The Sea of Galilee is one of the earliest settled areas in the Land of Israel. It boasts archaeological ruins sitting alongside some of the first pioneering settlements in Israel. The Kinneret also houses religious sites, modern cities, and endless outdoor pursuits.
Three of them stood in silent awe,
A sudden sight, without a flaw,
Marveling at the scene so rare,
A moment's magic filled the air.
Well, as I previously mentionned, I am not a big fan of the panoramic framing. However, once in a while, you must admit it is a necessity... I tried to get decent shots of the marvelous Eystrahorn from a closer view point. But with my 70-200, I had no clue to fit it properly in the frame. So I needed to move hundreds of metter back. And then, it was it... Amazing set of tones, with a nice cloudy atmosphere and the subtle rays of light piercing through, just to turn the field and the farms right in the middle of the shot into a light-green passage. Even though it may not seem as a buttkick picture at first sight, I consider it as one of the best picture I've taken so far! Really happy about it !
Not sure how the Swanson Schoolhouse has managed to survive. I've visited it before, and even peeked inside at it's bird ravaged interior. This time I just gazed at it and marveled at it's fortitude in the grip of loneliness and decay under a canopy of puffy clouds.
So I needed to empty out my box of Marvel Legends tonight. I needed to get pictures of Iron Fist, Sasquatch and Maestro. Most of these were at the bottom.
I don't just tip the box out willy nilly and let them get bashed around, I carefully unpack it and stand the marvels up one by one.. these have been re-arranged slightly, but not to the stage where they are in a dramatic scene or shot. I was quite taken back at how many I have, this doesn't include the figures I have from the HML series or the Fantastic Four Box Set. See the Tags list for the figures or characters in this picture.
It has been suggested to have solo fig pictures unless I have teams or groups, so here is my updated Elektra
Patriot
Iron Lad
Wiccan
Hawkeye II
Stature
Kang
___________
Two main members are left: Speed and Hulkling. So why aren’t they here? Because somebody (he's tagged)made the ultimate versions of them and I'm lazy.
Hope you like them and PLEASE COMMENT!

Left to Right
Silk: Made her a bit more accurate with more detailed parts.
Chase Stein: I finally ditched the construction paper jacket thanks to the stranger things set
Captain Britain: It was suggested to use Spider-Man's arms, so that's what I did, I also switched out the helmet for Flash's cowl
Forge: Completely redesigned him, I might take off the red belt because the two belts look off
Gorgon: Very proud of this guy, I will post an inhumans pic once I find good parts for Crystal
Tell Me Your Thoughts
Starhawk: Sorry Sly, you are not a weirdo, but the other two. Had the figure waiting to be photographed since I saw Vol.2. Now his time has come. Oh there is guy tagged: Superdaft1 he also had some great ideas for Starhawk so check him out.
Wanda: Actually I wanted to use this body for my Netflix Eletra, but I don't have the perfect head yet.
Vision: Maybe a after IW design. They'll definitely bring him back.

Mirabilis jalapa - Marvel of Peru after sunset.
These two flowers are growing side by side on the same plant. This variation in colour of flowers within a plant gave rise to the genus name of this plant "Mirabilis" which means "amazing, wondrous, remarkable". It is also why it was given the common name of Marvel of Peru.
I hadn't noticed flowers with bright red anthers until I took this photo.
