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.

The MARVEL STADIUM sign has always eluded me in the past. Taking a 2-minute expose of a night scene with a brightly lit sign guarantees it will be well over exposed. I did a 2 image HDR for this shot, 1 x 5sec for just the marvel sign, 75sec for the rest of the image. I'm happy with the result. Taking long exposures of boats on the water is never easy.
As always, I like to shoot at f22 to get the sharpest starbursts from the street lights. I wouldn’t normally mention this, but the plethora of photo editing software makes these little touches easy to include using AI. I much prefer capturing them naturally with the lens.
This was a bit of a side trip that we shot on our way to Proxy Falls. Sadly, Proxy was closed because there was a fire nearby. I had been wanting to visit here with a camera for a long time. I love the tunnel effect you get here. Just a simple river image, but fun nonetheless. Let me know what you think.
The star of my newest volume of Deadpool. Considering you'll only see him in the black and white tint, I decided to give you a look at him in full color... well half color anyway.

Found this rose a few weeks ago in a park in Cobourg.
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
So you thought I wasn’t gonna show up just because it’s 2026?
Aww, sweetie… that’s adorable.
And yeah yeah, I KNOW I’m not the real holy dude but NOTHING keeps Marvel’s discount Jesus from making an entrance
Tell me this isn’t at least “divine cosplay with benefits.”
No, I’m not dead in case you're wondering...
These gates are just cheap knockoffs from a theme park clearance sale just like my halo.
So this Easter, remember to keep love in your heart. The same way I keep Hugh Jackman and myself trapped together in this friendship locket like two emotionally constipated soulmates.
❤️BFFs forever❤️
Whether he likes it or not.
And kids…
devour all the chocolate you can find.
Become the cocoa‑powered chaos gremlin destiny intended.
Just, uh… avoid the whole “digestive disaster” thing.
Nobody wants an Easter that turns into a literal… well… you get it (rhymes with shisthow).
And finally:
Hugs, not drugs.
Unless the drug is chocolate. Or caffeine. Or the soft warmth of a bunny you definitely didn’t steal from a petting zoo.

Background:
FOXCITY. Photo Booth - Pearly Gates
L to R - Bruce Banner, Black Panther, and Fantomex.
Bruce Banner - Made the pants purple to make it consistent with the big fig.
Black Panther - Pretty sure this is just my old figure with a new cowl. (I think)
Fantomex - Had this figure sitting around for a while but never got around to posting it because I didn't have other figures to go along side it. I still don't really, but whatever...
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 !
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.
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.

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!

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.

Kraglin Obfonteri - master of the fin
Janet van Dyne - the original Wasp
Brunnhilde - King of New Asgard
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.

BIGGER FIGBARFSSSSSS! From Left to Right: Taserface, Sabretooth, Union Jack, Ghost Rider, and Electro.
Here’s a bit of a quick Marvel fig barf, using something newer pieces and such.
Bottom row, L-R:
Doctor Doom: Had the idea to use this torso/legs for him, although Dylan beat me to it awhile back.
Iron Man MK 50: Gave him the new helmet, shoulder armor, and this trans-blue piece for one of his weapons he uses.
Crossbones (Civil War): I’ve nearly perfected my fig of him, just need a better custom helmet.
Top row, L-R:
Kraven the Hunter: Not much to say
Mantis: Someone used these Aquaman CMF legs on Instagram, can’t remember who though. Also gave her LBM Ivy arms and a modded Hermione head.
Lemme know what you think! This is probably one of my favorite groups of figs I’ve made in awhile :)
