Think I'll be skipping the chess pieces. It's a bit much with already having the lead figurines. I already have a chess board set I don't use much anyway, no sense getting another one.
I do like the use of supporting cast, though. Perhaps those will be included later with the figurines.
I don't think I could send off poor Aunt May as a pawn. Poor gals been through enough!

Way too expensive for buying a whole set, but I could see getting the odd piece now and again if I really like the sculpts. Are these going to be subscription only, though? J. Jonah Jameson is on the good side? I call shenanigans.

Brad, good job on the painting. They look great. I wouldn't trust myself to do any sort of paint touch-ups or corrections.

It's not too hard on those, but I'm re-thinking Bullseye. He has a lot of detailed whites with thin areas of black that would be hard for me to fix. I might pass on him, but I'm thinking of painting Puck's legs black.

Nighthawk was easy enough to paint, his whole head and cape were broken off when he arrived (and still is). Great work, Brad!

So was Nighthawk's head attached to his wings? I was curious about that. I was thinking of taking them off, but decided that no one else would know, so what was the point? The hardest part for me was around his chest emblem, but it came out alright.
I do need to touch up his wings with a muted red, but not sure how to. I was thinking of using some red mixed with black, but it's been so long since art classes I can't remember all that stuff.

Oh, right, wings not cape. I probably should get around to fixing his gloves as well.

I almost knocked the claws off mine, one was already when I picked it up. I glued it back, but not a real fan of them. It was a bugger to get that one claw back on.

It was Puck's turn today. I think he looks much better with the legs painted black.
I don't know why I say matte black, I think it should be flat black. Also, it's Testors, not Testers.
