Thx for the comments and rep guys!
I had some Lego Superheroes stored in those storage boxes and since a yellow Lego brick makes an appearance it was obvious background to choose from.

I have one more picture with the storage bricks but the leaning pose didn't quite work.

Given the way that Rudd geeked out when he realized that he was on set with the rest of the Avengers, I could totally see him geeking out when he signed that, at the fact that he has his own highly detailed figurine of his character.

I wouldn't be too surprised if we found out if he had bought one of them under a different name.
 
Yeah, Paul Rudd is a huge nerd. I wouldn't be surprised if HT or SSC gives the actors one of these figures of themselves for free each time one is released, but Paul Rudd is one of those guys I could see having a few nice pieces of memorabilia.
 
Well, after 3 months of pulling and pinching (not 24/7) I finally got the head plate off so I can install the batteries.... and that damn little screw is locked in place. To the point that I'm beginning to strip the screw. :slap

Anyone have a remedy for a tight screw? Does heat help at all? Perhaps I need an exact screwdriver -- anyone know the size of these HT screws?



The irony is I'm going to go through all this trouble now just to see what I've heard is a not-very-impressive 'light-show'.... :lol

First off DO NOT USE HEAT. Heat expands material while cold shrinks (like getting out of a hot tub vs a pool, lol).

The screwdriver that HT provides with all their Diecast IM actually has never really been the correct size In my opinion. Actually it's probably the correct size head but since it's so short, you really can't the leverage needed (that what she said, oh my I did it again)

I use a variety of screwdrivers from iFixit normally used for electronics so I can't give you an exact number.

Lastly, I've been saying this since Ant-Man was released in HK, the light appears dim but if you watch the movie again you'll see that it's accurate.
 
Thanks for the help. OK, no heat. I just thought if it soften the plastic a wee bit... but I would be afraid of melting/warping those antennae things on his ears.

I'll have to take my Ant-Man head to Osh and see if one of the wandering salespeople can help me unscrew my head. :lol

You: My head's not screwed on right. Can you help me?

Osh Employee: Uh, I think you may be looking for the medical clinic down the street.

You: No, I mean my Ant-Man figure's head.

:lol
