Thanks!

You could just get adventureous and put the rockers from a Storm Shadow on the Capt. Britian CP Spidey- he'd have thigh swivel then too!
Add in Doctor Strange's wrists...hmmm....

Isnt the Dark Spidey intentionally bigger to make him obviously a fake???

All I know is Future Foundation Spider-Man is beautiful. The FF pack is gonna look great with Doom & Spider-Man.

I'll post some pics if I can tonight of my version.

Guys, that body looks best as a particular blue-skinned villianess...

haha nah, but i did try that swap out. i actually really dig it. main thing is the old head really needs the hot glue trick to keep it on there.

BW body is really growing on me aside from the soft plastic they used on her. shame i missed out at TRU as they only had 2 skrulls left on the pegs. again, hasbro not giving her at least a waist swivel is friggin tragedy.

I don't like the CB two pack spidey. That mold embodies everything I hate about the flimsy nature of some MU molds. I would say that the DD mold isn't as big as you let on, but true it's to big for Spidey. The Cable mold is an entirely different mold altogether. Much larger.

Thank you ashketch and Chinese retailers.

Great idea. I'll just do that. Thanks for the advise VM.

Yup that's my plan too. Pile of loot is set to ON.

Sadly, that's how much I see MU figures go for here. Mainly TRU and sometimes target. Walmart is scarce with MU.

I like the dark spider-man mold. It's got an awesome paint job too. I'm indifferent though about the future foundation version though. I think he might be too big but o well, I'll still take it. Rocker ankles make a huge difference to me.

Really? Incredible- I recall looking desperatly for Thanos back when and they had him up for like $40.
I shook my fist at them in anger like a silver-age villian.

Anyone on the west coast that can score me a Professor X and Blastarr? Those I'd happily pay $15-20 for...not another obligatory Spidey repaint.

NoodleChow · 07-19-2012, 05:39 PM

haha man, i wish that fluke wave hit my area. those the reports of em hitting LA and the border?

jaybird7072 · 07-19-2012, 05:46 PM

Ya near the border walmarts

Jason Abbadon · 07-19-2012, 05:46 PM

The desperation of the typical Wal Mart minimum wager is enough to turn back mexican searching for a better life in America.
Cheaper to build than that idiotic fence too.

Yeah- or some unspecified shop in NY run, doubtlessly, by time-traveling extraterresterials doing a stdy on the effects of plastic crack addiction and how it destroyed Earth civilization.

FancyPants · 07-19-2012, 06:00 PM

I need that new fury. Amazing job using the winter soldier buck. I've got a bunch of GI joe guns that would be perfect for him. Or just an RPG and a pistol

LUCKYDUBE · 07-19-2012, 06:33 PM

I want to get the SUPER HELICARRIER, I want cut that bad boy in half down the middle and add to it to make it wider. But at $130 bucks there is no room fro error! I'm on the motha F N fence SSSSHHHEEEEE itt.

dbriseno · 07-19-2012, 06:39 PM

Anyone else check out the BBTS preorder for the new wave of MU - Marvel Universe 3.75" 2012 Series 02 - Set of 5?

Selling for 79.99!!!! All other 5 packs were around 50 - 55 why the price jump???

SKIK · 07-19-2012, 06:43 PM

seems like the super helicarrier is back on for sale on HTS.

man, its over $200 to buy it and have it shipped to canada. thats ebay prices.

hopefully a loose maria hill will be cheaper

because you are late to the party as we talked about this a couple pages back.

jk

but the really messed up thing is that they jumped the price up by $5 while we were talking about it and of course they offered the standard 'we have to cover our cost' excuse

WalkingDeadpool · 07-19-2012, 06:48 PM

If you guys are looking for a good gun for Zemo,use Doom's gun...Fits well in his right hand....

Highly unlikely, if they dont make a single carded version of her, she will be a 25-30$ figure for sure!

It is annoying that they gave him and gun and sword he can't hold. At least make a holster and sheath.

dbriseno · 07-19-2012, 07:02 PM

LOL I noticed a little too late it been discussed before sorry about that KingLouie, but just went back to BBTS to preorder and now its Sold out? WTH!

Maybe Ill just get the 12 pack - comes out cheaper in the long run
