Sadly their own title is far too expensive to collect. but at least I have their minis ;-) I think the Spidey pose is awesome, and really shows off his athletic prowess :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-11159060237249697482016-03-30T13:31:31.502-07:002016-03-30T13:31:31.502-07:00These metal men don't look so goofy.

Indeed Iron actually asks this question of Mercury when they're first created and Mercury replies "Its evident you've never seen a thermometer." In addition with some of the other members of the Metal Men also being a silver metallic colour, a bright red one undoubtedly helped for contrast :-) Glad you like them. They're one of my fave Super-groups of all-time and get very little limelight.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-72302571893134756142016-03-26T14:34:11.109-07:002016-03-26T14:34:11.109-07:00Cheers Roger.

I've just super-glued some lead-shot to their bases to give the Metal Men the heft they deserve, and should have the remaining two normal-sized robots finished soon.
