Fanboy Isanity

Here's a silly little comic I made about fanboys and their insanity.

Marvel Legends Hela & Skurge / Hawkeye & Black Widow sets

The articulation points are the head, neck, shoulders, upper arm cut, elbows, wrists, upper torso and waist, thighs, upper leg cut, knees, slight pivot at the ankle and toe hinge. The shoulders sport butterfly joints that have a great range, can move out forward quite far, though they do leave gaps when pushed all the way forward. The figure is really ...
