MARVEL ACTION FIGURES, COLLECTIBLES AND COSTUMES
View allAll Photos Tagged marvel,
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.
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.

oeuvres de Sacha GOLDBERGER, photograpiées au Tri-Postal, à Lille, dans le cadre de l'exposition "Renaissance".
L to R - Nebula, Ronan the Accuser, Skeleton Ki, Thanos, The Collector, Korath the Pursuer, and Silver Surfer.
Nebula - Kind of a cross between the movie version and the comic version.
Ronan - More comic book based being that I made him green.
Skeleton Ki - If you look this guy up you'll know that he's not cosmic, but the fact that he only had like two appearances in the comics made him prime material to shift to the cosmos. (I'll be trying to do that often :D ).
Thanos - Same figure I showed you before just with a better face. His Infinity Gauntlet (given just to show it off) is made from a mega blocks hand because it felt like the right fit.
The Collector - The big bad, at least for a while, in my Star-Lord series. You'll be seeing him very soon in those BTW.
Korath - "But isn't Ronan red in the movies?" Yes he is, but that's actually Korath's comic colors. Honestly until looking up this guy to make a figure of him I didn't even realize that he was in the movie.
Silver Surfer - You probably won't be seeing him any time soon, I just wanted him here mainly for symmetry. :P

Vulture (I want to perfect this figure)
L to R - Nighthawk, Hulk, Bruce Banner, Captain America, Quake, and Hawkeye.
Now before you say, "Wow, what a dinky group of heroes." let me say, yeah it is. That's on purpose. The first arc or story we (Payton and I) plan on doing with the Avengers story (if we get the role) will be a very grounded story. Well as grounded as a story about a group of superheroes can be.
Most of these figures are Nexus's design, but some of them (Hawkeye and Nighthawk) are changed a tad as I do not have the exact pieces that Payton used for his figures.
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.

Here is my 49th installment to my Marvel Figures
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.

So I made a bunch of various spider-men, I’ll post marvel figs 6 tomorrow which’ll be more spideys btw
L2R
Spider-man (Tobey Maguire)- you’ve seen him before but here he is again
Spider man noir- one of my favorite alternate versions of spider man. Isn’t shown nearly enough with his fedora and trenchcoat
Superior spider-man- quite like the look of this suit, I’d say I nailed it in minifig form
Spider-Ben- self explanatory
Mangaverse spider-man- pretty easy to make don’t really know what else to say
Iron spider- you’ve also seen him before. At least I think so he’s honestly been like this for a couple years
Spider-man 2020- the one sleeve is odd. Still a pretty neat look
Disclaimer: I didn’t make up any of these versions of spider man
So what do y’all think?
Sorry the lighting is a bit off

-Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as most interesting.
Back in October I made some DC/Marvel Halloween costume mashups, but I liked some of the designs I made enough to make real versions of the characters!
