But the repaint of Thor and Captain America from last november, those figures should have been more widely released because the paint jobs kick ass.

Funny thing I never go into this store..Only time really was for the thor & cap..The other day I went in just to see and saw them if I see anymore would you like me to get them?

If you can get them Mint on card then I would be happy to trade. PM me please if you do.

I did. I had to search 4-5 FD's to find them too. Even then, they only had 4, all three kinds and one extra Cap, which I put in my BST.

Personally, I don't think they're worth $5.00. But I know what that completionist OCD can do to one's wallet.



I wouldn't count them in my collection as they're smaller than regular MU, at least based on Pete's picks. Of course it's up to each of you to make that call.

Absolutely right. I first saw them in another forum, and posted in the appreciation thread when I found them.

I don't think they're worth $5 either, but I didn't want to have a gap in my collection because I was weary of the price. Turns out it probably won't be a gap after all.

On the brightside, now I have the vehicle characters without having to buy the vehicles! Lol.

Aaaah! Scary thoughts.


Here's more pictures:







Size Comparison:



Even funnier than these are the 2" figures with ZERO points of articulation!

If it wasn't for this thread I would think they were Knock Offs.

[cainraw]

Shit, I still think these are knock offs.

[bmorr]

went into big lots today and these were nowhere to be seen. They got rid of their knock-off constructicons tho...they looked kinda neat.

Without the cost, too. Even during Clearance Season, I don't remember the IM2 or Cap vehicles dropping below $15 at any point.

They are crap. With all the articulation of a...have we been here before? I think we've been here before.

[BigHanksCustoms]

I saw them, meh at best.

But I also saw these 3 packs at my Family Dollar too, small static figures, maybe 2 inches tall representing the Avengers.............and of course multiple flavors of Spiderman....

$5 bucksa pack, but I'd get these before getting thos "FU"...er...."MU" figures...
