Answer 2

Best Marvel Legends

Answer 3

1. Ghost Rider 2. Daredevil-(great stand) 3. 1st Iron Man variant 4. Completed Giant Man -plus the 10 figures I needed to complete him. I like the Toy Biz Marvel Legends so much better. I like the Marvel Legends Icon series Captain America too. They need to make a Bucky figure. If you are looking for individual pieces flea markets and yard sales always work for me.

Answer 4

Enamel based paint for a longer lasting, tougher coat. And a light grit sandpaper will help make the surface tackier for a better bond.

Answer 5

well that depends on what your going to do with them. Brush paint like testers is good but then that chips. Spray paint is good but that chips and its gonna be harder to tape of what you want painted . If you get the right brush and paint good you wont see the brush marks. Its kinda part what you want and what you can do. And what colors if you thin coat light colors it may take a few coats. You can also air brush Michael's and hobby shops have air brush kits for 20 bucks to start with.I mean you can spend 2-3 thousand too.

Answer 6

acrylic mostly and enamel sometimes, yes to the sand paper
