I'm sitting in front of a desk with every Marvel minifig out so far, so I clearly don't have too much of a problem with them. I'm just disappointed I can't drop them in with all my other town guys easily, or use their heads for other things seamlessly.
I love the alien/monster/animal heads...although, I don't know if those get lumped in with peaches or not.
Easy! Is it from a "peach" line? Then its Peach!

Hulk? Peach.
Deadpool? Peach.
All the guys from TMNT sets? Peach.

Chima? Not peach.
The minotaur from the collectible series? Not Peach.
The martians from Life on Mars? Not Peach.

How can the Galaxy Patrol tell the difference? How can people in the Marvel Universe tell the difference between mutants and humans who got superpowers in an accident? They just do.

God this makes me wish I had more Galaxy Patrol Figures...

Like... three more just so I could make an Assault Squad...

The Dreadnaught is also sweet.


As for the Peach/Yellow debate...
Peach heads are mostly alright, except for some of the Clone Wars CGI Series ones with the HUGE ANIME EYES, but it's peach torsos that really piss me off...

I mean, clone troopers at least have full helmets, but what are you suppose to do with a torse that only matches a fraction of your heads?

My view on peaches: the only expectable ones are the lort/hobbit ones
The other ones, BURN, KILL, DESTROY!

I actually have to say thank you for this. It clears up many peach questions I had. What if you used a yellow decal to recreate a figure from a peach line? Is he still a peach? Becausesome of the figs from peach lines aren't peach, but seem to be considered so, like the Hulk.


EDIT: stupid me, I forgot to complement your amazing work! I especially like the dreadnought, I might have to steal the design.

Woah, those guns are the best designs I've ever seen. Although I'm not a big fan of 40k I love this army, also what you've established doesn't mess with General Blut's backstory at all which I like.
This sig is too fucking large: show anyway

The good news is the color matching on the torso printing can be so bad that yellow-yellow or peach-peach barely match anyway.

Thank you! The insides of the dreadnaught are a lot less straightforward than the outside. :)

That Bolt Gun is probably one of my favorite guns I've seen on here, at least for a while. Also, YOU HAVE 65 OF THEM!! HOW? Great stuff all around too though. Can't wait to see more stuff.

The little blaster pistol they come with is a great starting point.

I'm very good at feeling up those little bags. And they aren't hard to spot/find. Or weren't. Or aren't, I guess, since the Alien Warrior feels exactly the same, blind-bagged.

I was really hoping for a dapper calendar when I saw the title. That said these are awesome, indeed.

Or, depending on your willingness to customize, easily fixed with a yellow highlighter.

Unfortunately my willingness to customize LEGO elements is next to nil. I'd say absolutely nil but I did strip and repaint that one minifig head for the Solitaire (Deadpool ripoff) minifigure.
