..I know what you mean about the size though. The Invaders version is pretty short.

Could Not agree more, Vader, the Nazi Uniform with the Hydra armband makes him one of a Kind -even though he is a repaint

By the way amazon which is probably my favorite site of all time next to toyark of course, has reasonable prices on most figures from the MU. The trick also is to get 30 dollars worth of product (all of the products have to either be sold by amazon or fulfilled by amazon) and then u get free shipping. Most figures can be had for about 12 bucks which is slightly above retail, but when u take into account the free shipping and the time and money not wasted on hunting and gas it's a no brainer. I just ordered constrictor and a kitty pryde for 11 bucks each. And they have some comic two packs for cheaper than retail. Not sure if dudes were using this resource because all I ever see people posting about is big bad toy store. But I'm amazon all the way

Jason Abbadon · 10-10-2011, 10:11 AM

Totally agree- I already get a ton of books for super cheap from them- nad I scored by Constrictor "used" for $5 when it first came out.
"used" in this case was the hook part of the card torn away!
I laughed as I open my figs anyway!

Amazon rocks!

Maybe it's time to ship my POL.

I was excited that they were going to release gladiator just so I could recreate the scene with him and juggernaut. Then the phoenix comes in and handles gladiator. The phoenix saga is one of my favorites.

My Favorite

I love the 90s x-men cartoon. I'm hoping mu releases all jim lee style figures. With the release of cyclops and jubilee next year it looks promising. The two missing is beast and rogue. The showdown beast is a good fit but he is so damn expensive.

Now those are some awesome pics!!!

Symbiote · 10-10-2011, 11:25 AM

Have any of you guys checked out the youtube clip where two guys did voice overs in that scene. It gets old after awhile but still funny.

Nice score man! I won one for $21 shipped a while back. Best investment for my dio so far. Now I just need a firehouse for cheap

Here you go. It gets repetitive after awhile but some parts are funny especially if you remember the original lines. I want a lilandra, black tom cassidy and banshee figures.

Sweet pictures!

Yeah me too, for a cartoon almost 20 years old it's still damn awesome. Need a Professor X as well!

I've been reorganizing my man-cave and this is currently all I have displayed..

..I've gone simple.

Boba Fettuccini · 10-10-2011, 12:26 PM

Man... that's... REALLY simple

Epicly simple. I like the R2-D2. It's a nice touch.

Optimus Vader · 10-10-2011, 12:35 PM

My closet in this room is just shelves, so there's plenty of comic wars going on in there still, but my "out in the open" shelves were feeling a little cluttered.

Pretty lame, but I used to have almost like a "stage" or "monthly changing display" area that I'd rotate with different figures, but I kind of got away form that recently,.. going to go back to that.

Very classy man. I could never go that simple Im obsessed.

Nexodusrex · 10-10-2011, 12:53 PM

just saw the preview to Avengers : X-Sanction

Why is it every single hero in that preview has been made into MU, yet every single villain(Radioactive Man, Grim Reaper, Whirlwind, and Living Laser) havent? Hasbro needs to give us a 8 man villain wave next year. I want those 4, and add Titannia, Boomerang, Excutioner, and Lady Deathstrike

LORD MARVEL · 10-10-2011, 12:56 PM

Shit you not all my figures jus came down ...my MU collection has grown fast... Time to make a second shelf

I need to reorganize my entertainment items. I have 4 shelves full of DVDs and Videogames. I need to get a DVD tower or somthing to free those shelves for more toys.
cause right now my thundercats, ghostbusters, and transformers are just laying in a box awaiting shelving

Mastersteef · 10-10-2011, 01:23 PM

Just havin fun the other night at work, I work at a group home as nightwatch staff so I bring my toys to work and pose them, fix them up, tweak or paint them, etc...

...then I took this at home the other day.
