A while back I suggested to one of the moderators that we have a "members only" thread for stuff like that, but they said no way.

I forgot to add credit to you, Peter Parker and AndyCR75 for completing my hunt!!!

$81 for the Family Dollar variants is mind numbingly absurd. That said, that Thor is sweet and I wish we had FD stores here in CA. I was in El Paso, TX for work earlier this week and checked about 6 FD stores there, but no variants. Hopefully these show up in a future revision that gets widely distributed. Maybe with that translucent Iron Spidey.

LORD MARVEL · 12-15-2011, 11:14 PM

I would not pay nomore then $20 shipped off ebay

Nice comparison. I didn't realize how much more vibrant the new Thor is.

Boba Fettuccini · 12-15-2011, 11:18 PM

Is it just me or do those shorts on Foom look to be cloth?

Yeah, I'd bet that they are. I don't expect this figure to hit Walmarts like Sentinel did.

FallenOne · 12-15-2011, 11:21 PM

Seeing them side by side like that just makes me like the new one even more. That paint job just pops a lot more than the original. Thanks for the pic.

If anyone lucky enough to have these in their area comes across an extra, I'd be interested in buying or trading for one (I'll have some wave 17 figures available to trade in about a week).

vampireheart · 12-15-2011, 11:41 PM

Wouldnt it be cool if marvel universe came with action figure trading cards with the figures so that you can put them in a binder and keep track of them??

Hasbro confirmed back at SDCC that Foom's shorts are indeed cloth.

Isn't that what there doing?

vampireheart · 12-15-2011, 11:57 PM

They were, but I mean like trading card size and with a pic of the figure not just a drawing.

Oh yeah that would rock!

BigHanksCustoms · 12-16-2011, 12:07 AM

Not sure if this is common knowledge yet but I saw at my Marshalls tonight they were stocked with Star Wars Vintage series figures for $4.99. Gonna go back and grab a Senate Guard for the helmet (Custom Ares)

They also had Spiderman 3 3/4 figs too for $4.99, grabbed a Rhino! So be on the hunt folks!

Also saw the ML 6" IM Armored Avengers line for $4.99!

They had the WarMachine and the Mk.V (WalMart exclusive repacks) along with a HulkBuster armor. $4.99 is a great price I'm going back to clean house.

As I mentioned elsewhere, that's a friggen nice collection. I can't wait for the day when I can finally figure out how to get an SDCC Galactus of my own. Did it come with the box?

That one's even better than the skin one, IMHO.

You have to have good content to gain hits, and hits mean ad sales. Ad sales mean a nice free site for us all to enjoy. Sucks but that's the biz.

Where'd you find him? Last FD in Houston? If you found him local, I'll keep checking my FD's, but after the 10th one, I'm burnt out!

riot control · 12-16-2011, 12:54 AM

My lcs is scheduled to get wave 17 next monday, luckily the owner lets me have first crack. I'm thinking about picking up the case from him for cost plus 10 percent. I can't even imagine how much I have spent there, so he usually sells me stuff for cheap.

Man, that's an awesome deal. I sure hope it works out that way. My LCS owes me 6 of first pick of their case.

Unfortunately, according to previews shipping list, they say it's not happening next week.
