Finally knocked some huge grails off the list

Pretty awesome mail call today!! These are four books I’ve wanted for a long time, but the Felix #15 and Felix Annual are the big ones for me! Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been hunting those two forever, so it feels great to finally have them in the collection!!

People liked the other designs so I thought I would share the two new ones!

I think they turned out nice! I’d love to know what you guys think!

My Absolute Batman collection needed better displays… so this happened

My Absolute Batman collection was starting to get a little out of hand, so naturally I started making custom stands to go with the books 😂

Been experimenting with different characters, covers, artwork and color combinations instead of making every stand look the same.

I threw a couple of the custom logo stands I’ve done in here too because those have been really fun to make.
Still have way too many Absolute Batman ideas I want to try.

Let me know if you guys got any suggestions for future designs!

Some of my recent custom Absolute Batman stand designs

Been working on a bunch of new stand designs lately and wanted to share some of them.

A lot of my recent stuff has been Absolute Batman inspired, including character, cover, and color-matched designs. I’ve also been experimenting with custom logo/brand stands, so I threw a few of those in too.

Still have a lot more designs in the works 👀

Anyone know why my HueForge art is losing its color set up every time I try to add something or exit the project and reload it on Bambu Maker?

Brand new H2D - Both nozzles fail to cut filament (Error 07fe-8001 091903). Exchange or fix? More Images in the comments

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice before I exchange my brand-new H2D.

I purchased it from Best Buy 2 days ago, and it has never successfully unloaded filament since the initial setup.

Error:

07fe-8001 091903

>

Symptoms:

  • Left nozzle cannot cut filament.
  • Right nozzle cannot cut filament.
  • AMS will not load new filament because the previous unload never completes.
  • Both cutter levers move freely by hand.
  • The cutter blades appear intact.
  • The printer moves over to the cutter position during an unload attempt, but it still fails and throws the error.

Troubleshooting I've already done:

  • Full calibration (multiple times)
  • Power cycled the printer
  • Removed and inspected the hotends
  • Verified the cutter levers move freely
  • Inspected for obvious filament jams
  • Tried both nozzles
  • AMS issue appears to be a result of the failed unload, not the cause

I also own another H2D that works perfectly, so I'm familiar with how the unload process is supposed to work.

At this point I'm wondering:

  1. Has anyone seen this exact issue?
  2. Was it fixable without replacing parts?
  3. Is there something else I should check before exchanging the printer?
  4. Or does this sound like a factory defect that's not worth chasing?

I have photos and videos of the issue if they'd be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

[US/IL] [H] BRZRKR #1 Quintana Foil Variant(2026), Absolute Batman #21 Quintana Trade variant pre order. [W] Absolute Batman Variants (Listed in Description because there are a lot)

Willing to trade both for one book or separate depending on the books

ISO raw absolute Batman Quintana books, Mark Brooks #1 NYCC variant, Death Note Homage, Seth Mann 19, Clay Mann 11 1:25, Batbane cover, AB Akira homages, or any Felix art besides 19, especially that gorgeous annual lol. I would ideally like to just trade but I would also do a little bit of cash depending on the book. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There is a slight ding on the BRZRKR but it can be pressed out

Current prices for Ryan Ottley’s bloody sig and CGC witness sig?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I was wondering if anyone knows the current prices for Ryan Ottleys Bloody Sig as well as how much it would cost for it be a graded sig? I tried searching on google but only old prices are showing up. Looking to get a book signed by him soon and want to make sure I can afford it lol

Basically what the title says. I’m new to the hobby and really want to keep my stuff safe. I’m willing to pay a little extra for top loaders for my important stuff, but some people were saying they aren’t the best for storage online. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry if it’s a dumb question but I was wondering if there was somewhere that I can read and notify me about new absolute universe covers and exclusives. It’s become pretty hard to keep up with all the new stuff and I keep missing out on the ones I actually want lol. I know people are good about posting updates on here, but it’s hard keeping up with everything

Got a 9.8 copy of Invincible 120 and really want to get Ryan Ottley's bloody sig on it. I would probably get it cracked by cgc themselves at either their booth at a convention, or send it in the next time Ottley has a signing event at CGC. But not entirely sure tbh. This is the safest/most likely way I can think of getting the grade/sig I want. Getting a signed 9.8 #120 is a personal grail for me, so if it came back as a 9.6 Id be a little sad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just to give a little insight into the financial dilemma of it all, invincible books are pretty pricey nowadays. Especially key issues like #120. For issue #120 Raws are usually in the $300+ range, Blue Slabs are in the $500+ range, and yellow slabs with just a regular sig are usually in the $1k+ range. Haven't even seen a yellow slab with the special bloody sig I would like to get. For invincible comics Ottleys sig is $50 and the bloody sig is $200 since it's technically a remark. I would prefer buying a raw copy of the issue and getting it signed instead of cracking open a slab, but it is nearly impossible to find a 9.8 contender in the wild nowadays, so as far as I know cracking a 9.8 blue slab and getting it signed is the most reliable/affordable way to do it at the moment. But Im ballin on a broke college student budget so any of those prices are a bit of a gamble to say the least lol. Personally a huge fan of the series and getting this issue as a 9.8 with the bloody sig is a a personal grail for myself. Just trying to find the safest way to go about it.

People who have cracked slabs in the past, especially 9.8s how safe is it? Is CGC consistent with the grading or is it a complete toss up?
