So while the MU line has some cool stuff, I wanted to focus my cash on just the movie stuff. And up until now, the lines have been pretty good quality. Even with the loss of articulation in the Avengers line, the figs still, for the most part, looked pretty good. And there were a couple exceptional stand outs, like Black Widow.
I really liked the Cap figs... the Captain America line was a great smaller line; I hope any Cap 2 figs that get made are also decent. Hopefully, since Iron Man is popular with the kids then that is why Hasbro reduced the quality. I doubt Thor and Cap will be marketed as heavily towards kids so maybe they will have the normal level of quality. |

Yah, the movies are great. Except for X-men... I never read the comics either, but I became a Captain America, Thor, Iron-man and Hulk fan only after seeing the movies. Especially Cap... I loved that movie... he's my man now.
Yah, even though they lacked some articulation Avengers figs looked good for the most part. Well, except for the Hulk... IMO MU Hulk looks more like movie Hulk than Avengers Hulk... 3.75" Avengers Hulk was just unacceptable. LOL. For me... sometimes I like the movie design more and sometimes I like the comic design more... so I just go with whichever looks cooler. I really liked the Cap figs... the Captain America line was a great smaller line; I hope any Cap 2 figs that get made are also decent. Hopefully, since Iron Man is popular with the kids then that is why Hasbro reduced the quality. I doubt Thor and Cap will be marketed as heavily towards kids so maybe they will have the normal level of quality. That Hulk figure was awful. I was okay with him at first, but liked him less and less as time went on. I ended up replacing him with the 6" Wal-Mart Hulk. He's a bit too big for the scale, but Hulk varies in size in between movies anyways. And he looks much better in the group pose. I like to bring in some of the other scales when appropriate, like Destroyer, Iron Monger, etc. to give better representations of size. The Cap line was a solid line. Ended up with Cap, Red Skull, and all three Hydra Soldiers. There seemed like there was a lot of good offerings in the comic series part of the line as well. I've actually gone back and picked up some of the IM 2 Concept Series figs too, since it looks like at least some of them will be making appearances in the new film. Doing my best to try and avoid spoilers, but I want to grab them now before a possible resurgence in popularity makes them more expensive. I'm really looking forward to getting the GotG line next year for some reason. I've never read the book, but I think the characters will add some nice variety. And this is purely speculation, but I'm hoping it'll give us our first Thanos figure as well. Last edited by Collector82; 04-09-2013 at 02:55 PM.. |

Not even to mention... With the new Iron Man 3 figures, Where's a Mandrain figure? |

Although it seems doubtful, the Mandarin may yet be coming. Both Whiplash and the drones didn't show up until a few waves in for the Iron Man 2 line. Wave 2 of this series hasn't even come out yet. Honestly, I'm hoping for a con exclusive, so that we'll get better articulation and sculpting for him.

Unless I see something to change my mind in the movie I have no interest in a movie Mandarins figure. I just want the new movie armor

A bit of random speculation, if Hasbro still intend to release Fin Fang Foom, I wonder if they may do it under the IM3 line rather than MU.
Makes no odds to us, but retailers might be more interested having had Galactus and Sentinel shelf warming.

Yea hasbro is on a roll, kind of like with these subscription exclusive figures, fortunately I was able to place multiple orders and not get any cancelled the first go round, I got ten of each figure, the next day I guess for the people who got their orders cancelled they had more archangels, I was able to place three more multiple orders and get six more archangels and got another one on the third day bringing it to a total of 17 xforce archs. I wonder why they cancelled some peoples, none of mine got cancelled, I have 3 p.o boxes for my business and then my home and my brothers address, they all had my name and same credit card or paypal account though. Oh well, all my orders shipped so I guess I am good to go. I already traded one for the exclusive nick fury now all I need to trade for is deaths head archangel, blade, compound hulk, silver warpath, light blue human torch and the loki and frost giant set. If anyone has any of these let me kno, I have plenty of x force archs and dooms to trade. Hell Ill even take another vision, I will only trade if they are MOC.

I wouldn't sell them anyways, I bought them for their trade value, its all good man, you dont have to like me, I am no more of a scalper than anyone else here, you guys all talk about how you hate when people do that yet here you are saying, I just got in my two of doom and two of xfaa, now i guess I might sell my other two of doom and xfaa, lol come one man, keep it real, at least I am not trying to pretend I dont buy all the crap I want. If you guys wouldn't be such haters it could work to your advantage. I just have a lot of money and I like to buy up everything I see because I like to trade so I dont have to pay 100.oo on ebay for a vision or astral dr strange, its like I am only paying 14.99 because of the value of the xf aa. And usually, if I am cool with you Id probably hook you up. The only reason I do this is because everyone is a scalper. You know good and well if you could afford to buy as much as you wanted whenever you wanted you would be doing the exact same thing and I am sure a lot of you do. I keep reading about people saying I got two xfaa and two dooms, and then I was able to get another. Come on man... Stop being a hypocrite and realize were all doing the same damn thing. And I swear I am not writing this to be a dick or to be rude right now I am just trying to explain my position.Everyone here does the same thing, when something rare comes out ev everyone freaks out and starts camping hts and then when they finally are in stock everyone goes ape junk trying to snatch up everything they can afford. Be cool man

and no, thats not a fair deal, the xfaa trade value is just as good as a vision or anything else, they sell on ebay for 100+, that totally defeats the purpose of why I bought it, these figures are all only worth ten bucks, I dont care what you may have overpaid for it, its trade value is 100+ meaning I could pretty much trade for anything I want even swap, and I already have traded for the nick fury figure even sqap. Keep your hulk man, I never liked that guy anyways. The xfaa is worth more than your compound hulk anyways according to qhat people are paying for them on ebay.

Would you trade you XFAA and VVD for a SDCC 2012 Opened Helicarrier? Still in good condition, the stickers are all on, and i have the captain america and maria hill figures. Not going to trade this, just wondering.

you know to be fair just going through your recent replies to me gives me the impression that you are nothing more than a conman,and any one with any sense will steer well clear of you.you have no rep here and are unwilling to engage in the rules of trade here,and even if i did offer you Composite hulk as a straight swap,you would come up with some excuse not to send to me first anyway,which you would have HAD to do either way.but i think you have effectively shot yourself in the foot here on toyark as far as trading is concerned.all the money in the world yet a simple little object like a camera is non existent in your world,and the reason we ask for pics here is to help build the trust level with new members,something you have never even bothered to consider.

Im sorry for my previous post if I came off like a douche bag, I know I did and I mainly was being that way because every time I posted in the past you were right there to give me a hard time and I never said anything to you. So sorry if I offended you in anyway man, thats not the type of guy that I am.

And just in case anyone really would like to trade, the main thing I am interested in is death head aa and the loki frost giant set, the loki set I would be willing to trade doom and xfaa.

people here dont like me either,but they cant say im untrustworthy
you want people to trust you here?then earn their trust. thats all that is asked of anyone that joins any MU community.and i may have sounded like a douche for mentioning the camera,but you see i got burned by a former member of the ark under similar circumstances and i really dont want to get hustled again.so when people post pics here me and others take them a little more seriously. and if you want to know why people got all up in arms about scalping,go back to the old 3.75" thread and follow that from the start and learn the reason behind its creation,then you will understand. |

Hey jacki, I responded to your pm, I got into a bad car accident yesterday so I have been in the hospital.
I wanted to just point out to check out ebay for te xfaa and doom, the scalpers have launched an all out assault and you can tell that a ton of people obviously just got their dooms and archs because they are being sold in pairs, some for over 300.oo. It makes me sick, once again I am just looking to trade mine for figures I do not have. But it makes you think how many of those ebay sellers are members on these toy forums. Just a though. |
