WonderCon Figures

4/07/2013 Add Comment

Since I have always been a fan of the Fantastic 4 I have been getting several figures to use them in a wargame.


Galactus is one of the biggest 1/72nd scale figures in my collectus.


He is a force of nature who is the devourer of worlds.


Here he is with his Herald, the Silver Surfer.  I got them at WonderCon.


Shown here with a variety of 1/72nd scale figures.  I like the idea of using these figures in several different historical eras.

WonderCon

MRS Bunkermeister and I went to WonderCon this last weekend.  It's like ComicCon, only it was in Orange County, across the street from Disneyland this year.


I picked up The Thing from the Fantastic 4, in 28mm as a HeroClix item, I cut him off the base.  I will rebase him later because I don't use the HeroClix system. I also think Ben Grimm should be a bit larger than often depicted and so a 28mm version looks good in 1/72nd scale to me.  I might repaint him so he is more orange.


Got the Silver Surfer also.  I will rebase him too.  I might also swap out the flame hands with regular hands.  I have even considered swapping out the figure for a different pose.  On the other hand, how big is a Silver Surfer in 1/72nd scale?


The Con was huge, there were a lot of people there.  Parking was terrible, we had to park at the Garden Walk and it was about a mile to the ticket booth / check in and we had to walk.  We were not happy about that!  I did pick up a few other items as well.
