I really should post pics of my Iron Man collection sometime. It's...extensive.

Yes... And please do!

I'm going to wait for clearance. As a MOC collector, I think that Avengers packaging looks terrible. Here's hoping the MU one looks 1000x better.

Awesome! I'd LOVE some 3.75" Marvel Zombies, even though that's pretty played out at the moment.

I prefer them on pegs!

I prefer the glossy look so I need to find yet another to fix up.

Crap! Another Matte/Glossy variation? Those are the worst. Can anyone find these two in packages? I'm hoping you just have one, single, matte one, sky, no offense.

Definitely want an X-Force Carnage or Venom. Maybe they wouldn't look too different though. How many people have an X-Force Vanisher?

Weird case. This throws all of the Waves out of whack, since this is a mixture that skips other waves. There's a lot coming out in July! Woo Hoo!

Supposed to be a translucent energy effect, but it's hard to see if that's true from the picture. I'm just thankful we have more figures in the new packaging style. Wave 17 is looking sad and lonely...

As was suggested elsewhere, buy the Bag Head specifically to switch that head with all your other favorite figures.

Bag Head Thanos!

Feyd Rautha · 06-21-2012, 09:47 AM

Old parts swap, but thanks to the abundance of Gambits from the new comic packs and Lord Marvel's great deals it make the swap a lot less painful on my wallet.

I want to do 6 more.

Tiberius · 06-21-2012, 09:50 AM

Well done dude! My brother and myself really like Multiple Man. Here is hoping Hasbro sees that and releases the green shirt w/ jeans versions with jacket.

Like that, but smaller.

Again though, great job!

..it's a rough life.

I painted the star on one so one would be post-brainwashing American, and then the other would be when he was still a Russian agent. A nice excuse to keep both - one on the hero shelf, one on the villain shelf.

Is that gold gloves or gold arm bands? If you look at the card art he has bare hands, what does it mean when he had gold arm bands? Is it based on a marvel story? Is that Captain Marvels Nano bands or Quasar's bands?

All you really need is new Madrox Heads. I don't mind the rest of the suit, just that weird headpiece...

They're supposed to be translucent energy hands, since he's a living bomb and can make energy explode out of his hands...

Hard to see if that's true in the picture though.

What does "another mass clean up in the thread" mean? genuinely asking.

in regards to the Philippines pic of new MU, I feared hasbro would do something like that mix stuff up. Honestly it looks more like a revision case then anything else but this disappoints me. I guess finding MU just got exponentially more difficult. I hope we don't get matty'd by Hasbro. The cases that seller in Ny got seemed like it was solid case of wave 21 with only 3 characters. There was nothing else that came from that case. Unless it was "special pack" or a factory "back door exclusive".

It's a brand new figure.

It's a Spiderman (I don't bitch and moan when Hasbro makes popular characters).

It's a very "different" figure.. not like they make a ton of odd figures like this.

And I'm a collector.

SH0CKWAVE · 06-21-2012, 10:52 AM

PB Spidey is a novelty item that appeals to a certain sect of collectors and Spidey fanboys. The audacity of the fig makes it appealing, somewhat.

I honestly appreciate Hasbro thinking outside the box on releases like PB Spidey.

I think it is where they go through the posts that are deemed inappropriate/offensive/flaming and edit or delete them so that folks can move onto the actual Thread topic

As far as MU goes I want all but that non variant Spidey from the posted pics and I really only want that clear Sue Storm to complete the negative zone costumes as it seems they aren't intent on making her in that costume

For me personally, it was just a hillarious moment in a great time in my comic reading life. Brings back GREAT memories of those days.I will pay thru the nose to get this guy! :-)

Colder Soldier · 06-21-2012, 11:15 AM

So what are the other 4 figures in the new case?

Maybe the FF body is useful to make people like FF Ghost Rider?

heres one im currently working on. also i switched up the lizards legs with the lizard from the movie line, dont know wich one it is tho lol.

These are both awesome customs! There is so much talent here!

itMFtis · 06-21-2012, 12:08 PM

Working on attaching new tentacle arms to a 3.75" Doc Ock. Found good material for the tentacle arms, but no idea what to use for the pincers/claws. Any suggestions?

Before anyone brings it up, I'm not going to cannibalize the claws from an older Doc Ock figure, which seems to be what everyone does. I'm looking for something you could pick up at Lowes/Home Depot.

Word up! I love that story. Paper-bag Spidey is awesome. It's not that the costume is cool or anything. It's just a one-time thing that happened and now it's in plastic.

Robogeek28 · 06-21-2012, 12:47 PM

Anyone interested in these 8 figs for $25 shipped to the U.S?

So no punisher in that wave from the Philippines?
I sure hope it ships here!
