Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Does that beast use the wrecker mold? If not, it does look very similar

2GOLD · 08-07-2012, 09:14 AM

I am stuck in a bad news situation here as Walmart is the nearest hunt location for me and I guess all five of them have made the decision they will no longer stock MU figures anymore. They are stopping the stocking of the Legends as well.

As if hunting wasn't hard before! At this point I really want to see the comic packs. I hit two of those toys r us yesterday and neither carried the comic packs. And She Hulk looks like she needs a push up from the side view.

Poor She Hulk got action figure bust sag design going on.

Haven't posted on here for a while, but dang really appreciating this latest wave 18 or whatever it is with Kraven, Beast and Beta Ray. Not sure if they're remolds or what, but the paint apps and detail to them are superb! Although I hope I can find the variant standing up Miles and Beast though, prefer those than upside down for my preferance...

Hey Austinites! TRU at MOPAC has new Marvel. I got Beast but Hulk, Kraven, Beta Ray Bill are still there along with 2 red and blue Spidey, Spidey/RHino and the Light Up Base Widow and Panther. Saw a Ghost Rider there as well. Happy hunting!

Hmm...not sure if I should cancel my preorder with BBTS for wave 18 and 19 and just go get these.

Alchemist559 · 08-07-2012, 10:05 AM

I guess retail is getting the red blue Spidey? I should order my Miles figure from ToyWiz then.

Its the stage 4. I think optimus vader said the stage 5 or 6 work better but I don't have those ones. IMO, the preferred one are the ones from hobbylinkjapan hlj.com. You get more poseability with the arm, and you get 3 different clasps. Last I checked, they sold out of the clear ones so I bought the purple ones. They mix and match.

See how ms marvel is also using the same flight stand as thor. You can also change the arm lengths.

Nope, totally new mold of awesomeness. High hopes to reuse this mold for future figs like classic beast.

Sigh. That sucks big time. There is only one walmart here that carries mu. There used to be 3.

Where did you get that wave

1andonly5711 · 08-07-2012, 11:12 AM

that website that was up punisher is probly the best figure from this wave

scottmurdock · 08-07-2012, 11:14 AM

Thanks, Sym!
Nice haul 1andonly...I want that bag head Spidey so bad!!! I'm hoping my BBTS revision case comes with one. Otherwise it's off to ebay.
It's funny I'm hearing Punisher is top notch but he seems to be the cheapest of that wave. Likely b/c we already have a few versions of Frank.

Thanks for all of the pics, Symbiote! It's always great to see pictures of all the new figures that have not hit all the retail areas yet. Especially that last one - adorable!

My LCS is going through Diamond for the new MU waves. He said he had no figures scheduled for this week so I'm thinking that I won't be getting any this week.

That sucks, man! I'm sure there are plenty of Arkers willing to help you out if need be (me incluuded) but finding what you like on the hunt always feels better.

The Toy Manager at the WM near me told me to call the customer 800 number repeatedly and complain about the store not carrying MU, that the only way they'll reverse their decision is by customer complaints. And if you can get multiple people to complain about the same thing, that's your best bet. She was extremely helpful.

SHIT. If Miles is already no longer hitting retail that price is going to shoot up on eBay.

I want to find Miles locally, dammit!

The comic pack does come with the art card thing. Let me look for it.
Edit, nevermind. I just checked and they didn't do it. Probably because they threw in dr doom's gun and spidey's web they've used for the 100th time.

Astonishing X-Men

Green machines

Planet Hulk

Brother in arms

Sinister Six (Chameleon, Scorpion, Rhino, Doc Ock, Kraven, Shocker) I really really want that Mysterio figure. Then I could make the sinister six from the 90s cartoon series.
Head sets from marauderinc

The hunt is on

if this is the case then you should def set up a bst with what you want listed as well as what you have for trade as I'm sure folks on here are more than willing to do the leg work for you so to speak.
