Id defintely be down for ronan in either movie or comic version. Just give him articulation and not reduce.

I concur with the others about never hearing/seeing anything about this before... and well I would never trust Wikipedia without a source. I could go right now and say that there's a Spawn/Batman MU pack coming out.

I once thought I saw a Purple Dragon 2003 TMNT action figure in a store but apparently it never released, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that a synapse fired wrong. But we'd all love for you to be right!

There is the problem. The Wikipedia is notorious for false information. Sometimes I wonder if it is 6 inch collectors trolling the 3.75 inch collectors.
The 3rd set was a repack of Defenders of Asgard.

Been hoarding reward points from Sideshow so snagged this for free. Will go great with my other prints from them. They're pricey but I'm a big art fan and they look great!

[ukmu]

Snagged an Anti-Venom finally.... can focus on completing the Spidey baddies now.

Plus working on getting a "secret" (for now) army in one shot.

And making some trades for a nice Hall Of Armour set up.

Gotten a few other figures, some HYDRA and a Fun Fang Foom... January is ALWAYS the best month for acquiring toys!!

Now to celebrate... being more broke than I was before! Yeah/ouch

$14 each. $12 for the bodies and $2 for the heads. plus shipping.

I love this body and want a bunch more so all my SHIELD agents match.

[Will]

We have pack of 3.75 civil war and ant man.
I would love to see pack of infinity war with thanos and his throne, vision and scarlet witch (like black panther and agent 13), some pack with dr. strange and baron mordo and a pack of homecoming's vulture (like falcon, with huge wings).
Simple.
rsrs. is free to dream.

I want a mantis and nebula... I was just looking at the GOTG concept art:

[Will]

Oh man
GOTG has so many cool characters that I would love to see a complet line with 4 waves (including ronan) rsrs.

[LordMudd]

Nebula has been done as an exclusive. A 2 pack release of her and Starfox would be nice.

Yes! Especially Mantis. She looked awesome in the trailer.

Went out for Chinese tonight and hit Gamestop next door. Was not expecting much, so was pleasantly surprised to get 2 Shannas and Thunderstrike for $2.97 each on clearance.

Soooo small question about a certain older figure.

Basically, was looking for pics for ideas on how to do an ice slide like Ice Man does(main exposure to him is the Amazing Friends cartoon, so that image sticks with me), as I do tend to plan ahead a bit on my displays, and I encountered images of the X-Men Origins Wolverine
Ice man. Now, I normally dismiss this figure, as the proportions seem terrible when unposed, but I'm seeing pics of that figure posed in certain ways, and I'm wondering if I should really stay away. Anybody got a take to give?

[Goldengreg]

Hi everyone, long time no see! Happy new year to the MU 3.75 lovers!

For ice sliding effects, I would recommend the TamashiiWave effect

Did we ever get that 2.5" scale Giant Man?

I would usually just prefer a white with blue highlights, but this randomly caught my eye last night and I liked it.

IGN exclusively got to reveal some Homecoming toys today. I couldn't see a thing, mind you, because their slideshow was being idiotic, but it's yet another 6 inch line.


This overdoing 6 inch lines with various movies is getting tiresome.

There's no reason for those figures to not be 3.75. I wouldn't be surprised if they are more like the undersized 5 inch figures that recently came out for GotG and Avengers. How is there any proof that 6, 5, and 2.5 inch figures sell, but 3.75 don't. That asinine.

The 6 inch line is just enlarged 5poa-ish garbage. 3.75 figs got screwed and man i hope thise crap doesnt become the norm for 6inch figs either. I swear hasbro ( dwight in particular ) seemed to destroy 3.75 and now set their ( his ) sights on 6 inch.

You could lay out your slide using strips of cardboard then smooth it out with putty. You can be sloppy with the putty because it will just look like blobs of snow and icicles when painted.

Hit 3 more Gamestops today and got a Daredevil and a Vulture. Saw 4 more Shannas if anyone still needs her.

XMO iceman is a pretty good figure all in all, he's a bit short, like shorter than the XMO comic wolverine, but next to the ultimate spider man from MU he looks great, like a teen Bobby. He's just straight cast in blue translucent plastic, which looks OK to me, but if you did a drybrushing in white I think it would really make the sculpt pop and give him a more 70's look. The ice sled is smaller than a MU figure stand and is a bit disappointing. I've been looking at a lot of the old toybiz (mostly pre legends) ice sleds I've got a list somewhere I started putting together a couple years ago of the six best ice sleds for our scale. If I can find it I'll throw it up here. I'll also post some pics of XMO iceman when I get home.
