Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

How's it going everyone?

Some great collections here! Been lurking for a lil, and decided to sign up last week. Had a slight setback, but thanks to trebleshot and Joe, everything's all good now.

I've been collecting MU since the beginning... regretfully though, I was only picking up favorite characters here and there with the first waves, so I missed out on a few. I also add from the various movie lines, but mainly just the comic characters. The only movie ones I have are Red Skull (isn't really the movie design anyways), Hydra Attack Trooper variants (comic colors, so yea), and Destroyer which is almost exactly like the comic version.

I was able to score a set of the latest wave @Walmart last week, down here in South Florida:

A friend of mine also scored me a Moonstone as Ms. Marvel variant last week:

... and until I get a new battery for my cam, a quick craptacular cell pic of my main MU display:

congrats on finding the new wave, renegade! and do boy, i noticed rhino busting through the brick wall in another shot of yours. love it!

Do Boy · 09-20-2011, 10:15 PM

Thanks. Yeah this one is done a little bit different. I was hoping this one gave it more the "bricks flying at you" effect.

NoodleChow · 09-20-2011, 10:22 PM

i think the one i saw had a "covered in brick wall debris and was totally pissed about it" look.

RenegadeOne · 09-20-2011, 10:25 PM

Thanks, Noodle. I was completely shocked that I found a complete set at that particular Walmart. For the past month, all they had was the remaining 5 Sub-Mariners from two years ago!

Agreed that is quite the display case, very tall lookin and love all the shelves. I love curio cabinets but had the 3-4 shelf thing as the MU figures are small and don't need much height clearance. so the rest is just wasted space unless your using large figures to pose in.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls i present to you...
what i would call the internets first Marvel Universe Doop figure!

YAY! Awesome!!!

Looks very similar to Slimer from Ghostbusters!

quinten182 · 09-21-2011, 06:17 AM

Yeah I see the slimer reference, but it looks great! Way to go! I know you've been scrapping away at it for some time now, but it looks solid. Grats!

quinten182 · 09-21-2011, 06:43 AM

Have them all holding hands and hanging off of a cliff and swinging each other to get a delicious herb for ramen.. like.. Naruto.. ><

miketime · 09-21-2011, 07:07 AM

Variant Goliath thanks to iLegends73. He is so much better than the Blue and yellow one. IDK why I love it so. It's the same fig with diff plastic and paint.

usagent27 · 09-21-2011, 07:14 AM

Anyone want to trade some MU figures for a Tomb of Dracula vol 2 omnibus?

usagent27 · 09-21-2011, 07:17 AM

Also i was thinking of developing a Marvel Universe Collection/checklist app for the Windows phone 7... anyone interested in something like that?

usagent27 · 09-21-2011, 07:28 AM

Big Bad Toy Store has the newest wave in stock and ready to ship

I am in the process of getting all of the data/pics. my thought was to break down the checklist by wave.

omega145 · 09-21-2011, 07:45 AM

Welcome RenegadeOne! Awesome collection you have there and nice pickups. Who makes that display cabinet you have?

Sick dio you got there do boy, pretty soon you'll be rivaling Ludo. Where's the fence from?

quinten182 · 09-21-2011, 07:46 AM

The checklist thread on this site is pretty solid and well upkept too. Someone else also had a droid app at one point I know, but believe it was outdated, especially now.

Thanks man. I hope so. But his Dio is pretty sick. I got it on clearance at Wal-Mart. It's a teck deck Stair set.

Nexodusrex · 09-21-2011, 08:26 AM

I think those two $1 bills would make for great beach towels if you're implementing a beach or lake into your giant dio
