Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

HA! EPIC!

I found the new wave on Ebay for 80 dollars but it had a or best offer option. So I put in a best offer of 55, saying that 55 is just 5 dollars more than what I would pay at BBTS, and he accepted! But the Shipping is actually cheaper! so in actuality I'm paying a couple dollars less!
Not only do I get my wave before BBTS, I get it cheaper! Oh Frumptulous Day, Caloo Calayy

Good deal, Nexo. Factor in gas and TRU prices and you've just about broke even with retail.

Newest Addition. Found Namor in a beaten up package cheap in a bargain section at Tesco. Not sure if the figure was supposed to have a stand in it but I'm not overly fussed as I have more figures that don't have stands than that do.

Also took a photo of all my figures together. And yes I have a Lego Zurg in the background, he's on my desk seeing as he kept getting knocked off of the shelf above my desk and smashing to pieces. Re-built him a fair few times haha.

the new namor's headsculpt is so much better imo.

Zictor · 09-18-2011, 08:52 AM

Yeah probably but as I said, I found him in a Bargain bin in a damaged packet, really cheap.

Great score DO BOY.. ill be on the hunt in about an hour

NoodleChow · 09-18-2011, 10:46 AM

think i'll hit TRU soonish too. but if they don't have new MU in the front then that means the one peg with 4 figures is all they have plus the glut of old comic packs.

It's funny, and I don't know if marvel did this on purpose, but that armor is the ultimate ironman in the comics now.

I too prefer the other one though.

D00MTR0N · 09-18-2011, 11:25 AM

not piss on your parade but that ironman sucks,the legs are bowed and it does not stand worth a shit,but if you like it thats all that counts.

Besides, we have never seen MU reuse a head for another character.
That's what keeps us buying- body types are pretty generic so re-useing those is no big deal to me (so long as the build is correct for the character) but the unique heads is what sells it.

Also, it would be more work to re-master the MM head than to just make an all new Tony Stark head via computer.

I love those lightning effects on Storm...but she looks so bored!

Yea well we are going to see our first reuse of a head...Psylock has jean greys head.....very pissed about that....I will be changing that head...

not to also mention that the ages of thunder thor is using the doc samson head. i remember thinking "well, at least every figure has a newly sculpted head" ...pfffftt =[

but yeah the psylocke shoulda been, at most, on the new x-23 body with a new head with straight hair and at the very least, new head sculpt on the old body. i mean i like the phoenix head sculpt but c'mon hasbro.

I appreciate my Wal-Mart restocking MU, even if it isn't new stuff. They have 4-5 Xforce 3 packs. If you need one...let me know what you have to offer =3.

fosterlager · 09-18-2011, 02:47 PM

Same here, just when I decided I want the FF set... they restock all but that one. :/

Tiberius · 09-18-2011, 02:54 PM

We got a few F4 sets. No variants

Zictor · 09-18-2011, 03:39 PM

Used a Lego pie I got with one of the minifigures, put it in deadpools hand... perfect fit, tried to think of something funny, failed but did it anyway haha!

Gonna attempt a new Photoshop tomorrow I think.

That's awesome you got one with decent paint apps on sale. I've yet to see one that was worth a hoot. Even saw one that did not have any eye paint at all at a local K-Mart.
