Avengers gift set = SUPER PEG WARMER!

Honestly, they took the five characters that are literally flooding the market at every turn and put them together in one pack that nobody wants. I can see it being mildly popular around x-mas because grandma doesn't know that everyone has spidey & iron man coming out their ears already... but any other time of year, that thing will be buried in dust. I hear this pack is on clearance at target already

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

lol...it comes to the stores already labled with clearance stickers...

so are they ever gonna make a regular 4" size Antman or Wasp?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

the new flesh colored Absorbing man equals base for custom Road Pig

 

[Cloud Strife]

lol...it comes to the stores already labled with clearance stickers...

so are they ever gonna make a regular 4" size Antman or Wasp?

Yup! He's one of the ones listed. I'll definitely be getting all of the 2-packs, except for maybe Juggernaut and Colossus (I don't think I need a 3rd version of Colossus and I'm not really sure if I care to have a Juggernaut w/out his helmet...). The Marvel Universe line keeps getting better and better.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

oh i see now...hes in the comic pack

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Hmm, I'll have to check out the CPs... I told myself I wasn't going to get into the Universe line, and for the most part, I've not... But I've probably got 10-15 so far, and stuff like the X-Men keeps grabbing my eye...

But so far, I want Cable, Apocalypse, Gambit, Sinister, uh... Probably more. Sigh, gotta tell myself NO!

 

[NSA]

MB got some good shots of the marvel diorama.. we'll try and get them online soon.

All that Zarana wrangling made us hungry.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Just make sure not to upload his crotch-pics.

 

[alcinde4]

I think I just heard my wallet cry for help.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Be careful, Rex. Once you start collecting the MU figs, it's difficult to not to go all out.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Well, I have a good 30-40 of my Marvel "must-haves" in Legends scale already. There's no need to have 50% clones of them. In fact, once I get a 6" Jim Lee Jubilee and Jean Grey, I'll probably be out.

Although the MU figs are tempting... And in-scale with Joes! (For the most part).

Now, if I could shrink my Legends down without having to rebuy them, I'd love that. But I think it's silly to have the same collection in a smaller scale (and really, I'd be buying most of the same characters all over again).

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Damn, that Cyclops looks great though! The Legends-scale one I have is actually from the X-Men line, and I can't recall, but I don't think his neck turns properly due to some damned light-up function. I always hated that, but never got around to modding it proper.

 

[K-Tiger]

the new flesh colored Absorbing man equals base for custom Road Pig

Pffft, that Absorbing Man has so many uses it's sickening. I almost hope he warms fucking pegs.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

When's he coming out? Because I had seen the original and thought that (except it wasn't all-solid flesh), and I'm about to drop one of the SDS torsos if I can because my cart is over $120 at the moment....

 

[K-Tiger]

I'm thinking one of the Fall waves.

Yup, placard says October.

 

[nacho]

Yeah, I need several sets of absorbing man arms for all the MOTU 4" figures I'm planning to make with the SDS torsos. Either that, or I need sleeveless Thor movie figures to go on clearance.

[nacho]

I'm loving that Wonder Man too...

 

[K-Tiger]

I take it that that new Scorpion isn't in the 1:18 line?

Kinda disappointed with Psylocke. What's the deal with her, is she still using Kwannon's body or has she been retconned to Betsy Braddock's body again?

 

[Goldbug]

I take it that that new Scorpion isn't in the 1:18 line?

He is in the Spidey line of the similar size along with that Lizard.
I still haven't found those yet because of the many many Spideys plaguing the pegs.

 

[K-Tiger]

The cartoony Spiderman line? Those are 5", right?

 

[Goldbug]

The cartoony Spiderman line? Those are 5", right?

Nope the 1/18th ones that are usually right next to MU at Target.

[Monkeywrench]

I'm trying not to collect this line cuz I know I will go all out

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

that new Hulk looks so good its retarded...my fave Marvel character...just say'n

 

[nacho]

KT, Psylocke's still asian.

Hope i see him, i like that head for a Firefly custom.

KT, Psylocke's still asian.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Hasbro dropped the ball on the sculpt then.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

I'll try to get some other pictures of the Marvel stuff today. Here's some from the diorama they had:

 

[Midget]

In the first pic- is that Thing with gray pants, or just wash-out from the camera's flash?

 

[K-Tiger]

No, those are definitely grey ballet tights.

 

[Cloud Strife]

I'll try to get some other pictures of the Marvel stuff today. Here's some from the diorama they had:

That's a sick dio.

I'm looking forward to getting a couple Sentinels.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Namor just screams "base body for clothed customs" for me. Overall, good looking stuff.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

The pictures don't do it justice CS. I'll try to get better ones if I get around to it.

It appears that Hasbro will repaint the FF4 set into their Future Foundation costumes.

[Midget]

Cool, I guess. I need a Human Torch to go along with my Thing (have fun with that Eddie.) Reed Richards and Sue Storm… meh.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Here's some more pics Marvel people!

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

More, more, more! *done in Billy Idol voice*

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Here's some product too.

 

[Midget]

Wow, these up coming figures look great. The new Doom and Ultron are hopefully improved over their previous figures.

 

[Cloud Strife]

That dio is so SICK. The battle damaged Sentinel is pretty frickin' cool and I love the ice-slide for Iceman.

I'm looking forward to getting the next wave and hope I can find a normal Dr. Strange for a reasonable price. I have feeling that even though I have 2 Dr. Strange figures on pre-order at BBTS, they're both going to be the astral versions since they're supposedly more common.

I'm sure they probably will, but I hope they redo Red Hulk using the new Hulk tooling. Rulk is going to look extremely stupid next to the new Hulk for now.

Also, I like that they're redoing Daredevil and Bullseye using the new body sculpts. I don't care for the squatty body sculpts that the line first had. I hope they plan on redoing those that used the old squatty mold over time so that I can weed them out. There's not that many that they'd have to redo...
