Finally nagged myself this guy at retail. So happy with him, what a sweet figure! Only downfall is the lack of a swivel elbow

Yeah same here. Stopped by a Wal-Mart they started the reset, all they had on the peg was Iron Man series 1. Lol. They did have Deadpool and Taskmaster CP and the new Team packs. I left Iron Man and got DP vs TM, X-Force, and Avengers team packs though!

Went to two Targets, today. Besides army builders, (AIM/Skrull) the only figure they had that i was even a bit interested in was Black Widow. I'm hitting a new Target, tomorrow. I really need some MU's, and since I can get three free, I must pick wisely.

to have starjammers action figures you'd probably have to sacrifice your first born to hasbro in order for them to reach that far. Were lucky to get the guardians of the galaxy lol. Were all about to pay(myself included), for a talking space raccoon.

Dylan in Oregon · 08-16-2011, 06:31 PM

Gimme the talking space dog and they can have my first AND second.

MarvelTF918 · 08-16-2011, 06:34 PM

Well since I'm getting free figures. Any figure you guys want me to be on the look out for, so i can pick one up for ya'?

My Walmart did a massive reset on the action figure aisle last week as well. They have 4 pegs reserved for MU and 4 for GIJoe, after a week these pegs are still empty. They state that this is a new item for them and they are waiting for stock to come in. They stopped carrying both of these lines over a year ago. Funny thing is they still have MU over on the clearance aisle at full price.

how about the new wave of thor wave 4 lady Sif, loki king . I wont ever see them in store have a funny feeling about that wave.

MarvelTF918 · 08-16-2011, 07:01 PM

I'll be on the lookout.

Zictor · 08-16-2011, 08:44 PM

Hey everyone. I'm new here. Massive marvel fan. Seriously, I'm 6 foot 7.

I've been obsessed with this line for about 2 months now and it keeps growing. Every time I see a character I like or sort of half like I pick it up and buy it. I hate going to Forbidden planet in London because they have so many to choose from!!!

My collection started at Christmas when my Girlfriend bought me Iron Spider-man. A few months later she went out and bought me the Hobgoblin as a total surprise, then the Green Goblin.... Then I saw some offers on the Iron Man line and I started an obsession. I'm now at 16 figures in this scale, most of which I've added in the past month.

Villains (Some of them are a bit Shady and I didn't want them in with the Heroes)

Heroes

I then decided to group them...
Captains

Iron Suits

Spider-men

Goblins

Spider-man Villains holiday group photo :P

Mercenaries

I've been a big Fan of Daredevil since I found out he existed (soon after I got into Spider-man) and I'm excited about the new 2 pack! I also would love to get my hands on the Yellow suited variant! Also want to expand my spidey villains. Loving the tips on how to make symbiote tendrils...

I read the entire thread before signing up to post this... it grew 4 more pages while I was doing so!

Tiberius · 08-16-2011, 08:49 PM

*sniff* Moon Knight is *sniff* a *sniff* bad guy to *sniff* you?

:'(

ludovicotek · 08-16-2011, 08:50 PM

Nice Zictor! For just starting out you have some heavy hitters in your collection, especially the villains.

Do Boy · 08-16-2011, 08:56 PM

Hope your collection keeps growing Zictor!! Great start so far.

Sorry about that. I was a bit indecisive when it came to him and wasn't sure where to put him. Same with Deadpool.

I LOVE the villains. They make the stories so much better. I'm a massive Green Goblin fan so when Iron Patriot came about he became an instant fave too. I really want to get Doc Ock, Carnage, Shocker and Scorpion but no shops in the UK seem to sell any spider-man Villains. I was shocked to find Stretch Strike Venom!

Thanks man... I hope it keeps growing too. I don't like the hit my wallet takes but, I get a sort of Fix from getting them. As soon as I have them out of the packet and have posed them a bit, I want more!

Tiberius · 08-16-2011, 09:07 PM

No worries dude, I was only giving a guy pretty much a whole foot taller than me a hard time :P. Also, here is a nudge to get your villains going. I have been told I am an enabler

lol.

Zictor · 08-16-2011, 09:13 PM

Oh man you pretty much have every Dark Avenger right there. And I can see the Crymson Dynamo in the background. The blue Iron Monger, CARNAGE (I'd love to stumble upon that seriously!) Rhino, Scorpion, Bullseye...

Argh, why are these characters so cool. Ok I have to show this to my girlfriend now... She thought I had loads!!!

I got a few more now. Actually im ganna take a giant pic of my bad guys

here we go!

Zictor · 08-16-2011, 09:21 PM

I seriously envy your collection... I can't order Carnage from Amazon.com because I'm in the UK, rather annoyed at that, because it worked out to be £10, everywhere else I've found him he's been way more than that!

MasterSock · 08-16-2011, 09:23 PM

Sweet we have are self another Marvel collector! It always start out with just one figure lol my first was Juggernaut then i got Hulk and so on! Welcome to the site bro!

Symbiote · 08-17-2011, 12:08 AM

Finally found a decent Tony Stark head. I was at TRU and they had a great sale, any 2 MU, Star Wars, Capt. America, Iron Man, Spider-man, GI Joe, or Thor figure for $10.99. Ultimate custom fodder time!!!

I had to throw this in. My ever growing Iron Avengers

And this came in the mail today. I found this figure on Ebay that originally had the ghost rider head. I'm not sure what the original base figure is but the seller was selling it as ghost rider. I needed a base figure that had a suit. The head is from a DC Lex Luthor. All I need now is to either get the wheelchair from the avatar figure or something else. Any suggestions on the wheelchair or better yet, hover chair?

I also finally picked up another MU Magneto off ebay for $1.25. Major good deal especially when all I need is the head to swap it with the showdown figure. Its coming in the mail soon but I had to snap this picture. I can't wait to have him with the rest of the X-Men.

behindthemask · 08-17-2011, 12:26 AM

What figure did you use for the tony head? nice pics also

Awesome. Dunno how DP got in there, but he looks great too.

Zictor · 08-17-2011, 04:38 AM

I was thinking that they should do an Xavier figure in the wheelchair. Unfortunately they didn't bring out anything in the First Class lineup. Have they ever made any Xavier in the wheelchair?

Also loving the Iron Avengers! I was thinking of doing that with all the Iron suits I have. I'm too scared to start customising though... hate breaking things!
