I thought you were getting a case just to get him. I drove through Connecticut this past weekend and luckily found him at walmart.

That Graveyard statue is nuts, where is that from?

Finally found a MU Juggernaut. Only one more big figure left for me now: Thanos.

Also picked up DOTM Cyberfire Bumblebee. Red eyes, black w/yellow flame deco and the light piping makes him look delightfully demonic. >:-)

[stjuggernaut]

Got this sweet baby over the weekend, been looking for this for years. Its the mcfarlane collectors club exclusive Spawn III figure. Very Illusive indeed. best Spawn classic looking figure in my opinion.

[atomicsmurf]

From one of my favorite online comic shops:

Marvel Select Magneto!


Marvel Select Gambit!


Marvel Select Juggernaut!


Marvel Universe Mystique!


BRING ON RED SKULL!!

@stjuggernaut: that Spawn figure is beautiful! Nice score.

Nice figures, I have that MU Mystique, great figure, and hard to find. I have a Marvel Select Thor and Gambit waiting for me , not sure which Gambit I have waiting for me, the regular or the variant, that Magneto looks sweet, I have the ML Magneto and haven't really thought about getting the MS version, On top of that there's also a MS Electra, Wolverine and Spidey in my area, may have to get at somepoint.

[atomicsmurf]

@ behindthemask - I saw both Gambits at my LCS and the short haired version is outstanding as well. You won't be disappointed with either one.

That MU Mystique is very well done. I'd venture to say that she is probably the best fem. figure I've seen out of the MU line. Some of those MU female figures have really long necks.

Which MS Thor do you have waiting?

Oddly enough, I get home from work and guess what's waiting for me in my mailbox?

If you haven't opened him yet, you might want to. There's talk on Twitter of several of them being broken in package due to manufacturing errors. I'll edit this post after I check mine.

EDIT: Mine's perfectly fine. Even better than the mass-release 2-pack Rodimus.

I have one very similar, but I don't remember it being a club exclusive. Easily the best version of Spawn I own. Too bad it still suffers from McFarlane syndrome.

[Optimus Vader]

I acquired this guy in a nice little trade with neatogecko. The only figure (both Docs) I haven't found in retail from this wave.



Just the Doctor though. Dream Team Eagle is just a ham, that's all. We call him Desean

[atomicsmurf]

Nice find OptV. And I see I'm not the only one that's happy the lockout ended.

to my knowledge this club exclusive is the only onw that looks like this. there are earlier versions of spawn in these colours with this cape but they arent nearly as cool. this took me aaages to acquire!

whats mcfarlane syndrome??

I'm pretty sure that means that the sculpt is amazing while the articulation is crap.

[frodotrout]

what is it?, i always thought mcfarelane revolutionized the action figure industry, he raised the bar on sculping and quality, yet his figures have almost no resale value what so ever, very strange.

[Optimus Vader]

McFarlane Syndrome = DC Direct Syndrome

They're all statues. Certainly not "action figures."

I wouldn't say the don't retain value, a lot do and a lot don't. All the sports figures have rare one's/ case and variant colors ex I had a Patrick Roy figure when he played with Colorado, but he has a green Gatorade bottle instead of blue and I ended up getting $75 for it locally. Spawn has 12'' figures, collector's edition ones, the movie masters line has some expensive figures such as robocop, predator, alien, donnie darko etc. Not to mention his music figures Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Metallica etc are near $100 range on ebay,also the Anime/video game characters he did such as Metal Gear Solid and Akira also grab big bucks, and his Where the Wild Things Are figure are crazy pricey. He has stuff that's worth it leaving MOC, but can you deal with it... frankly the Mcfarlane effect is, amazing likeness to the athelete,actor, chracter, from the face sculpt, to body sculpt and paint, but the acticulation is usually shit, maybe 10 points of articulation usully less.. they're made to be mini cheap statues and to be posed in 1-2 particular poses ie spawn with the classic covers, the figures are built to be an exact representation of 1 particular comic cover, so the pose is dictated by the cover. I wish Mcfarlane would team up with Hasbro and do the MU headscupts and weapons and display bases/vehicles.

The Thor figure set aside is the Ultimate Thor figure, not the MS Movie version thor, but the 1 that resemembles the smaller MU figure. I love the toys but damn they're not cheap my local comic guy is asking near $30 each. But even retail when I can find them they're $22+tax. I own MS Abomb, masked deadpool, masked cap, zombie spidey, and iron man, I would love to get my hands on a thanos, watcher, punisher, and the sick looking ultimate Iron man, after that they're just a bonus, lol.
