I was just going to mold that piece and paint it black. I'll look your suggestions and see how it panes out. I really like the hush coat from dcih. It looks better to me. I actually like the longer staff but I'll see how the black canary one looks.

hmm i might have to check that store out wow are you from LA??

I'll go to frank and sons as a last resort as well. They can have fair prices if you search for it. I actually like finding loose figures here seeing as you can get them for $5 a piece if you buy more and deal with them.

I'd buy it. Especially since its $8. Think of it as buying a figure for the same price but it will house at least 6 of them in each window and doorway.

behindthemask · 01-09-2012, 01:53 PM

Yeh man get it, do it up! I had that as a kid and well worth the $8, it costs 3-4 times that back in the day, they're hard to find , not expensive on ebay but shipping would be up there.

..probably the only Comic Pack I never saw in stores.

Weird, I still find those from time to time around here.

The cards and staff are from MS Gambit...I just need to make the staff smaller,but way better the the one he came with...I also might add a hush jacket,now that I know he looks good with it...:-)

NoodleChow · 01-09-2012, 03:33 PM

Awesome!

I have a question for my fellow MU collectors. Wednesday, my LCS is getting one case of Wave 17, and due to previous trades with them, I get to pick any 6 I want from the case, first dibs.

My original plan was to get all 6 from the wave. Should I double up on Psylocke and leave one out instead? If I actually buy any of them, they'll be $13, so I don't want to buy extra. 'Locke seems to be a commodity these days...

Get the extra Psylocke if your looking to do more trades. IMO she's overrated. I'm sure you'll be able to trade for the one you don't get.

wolverine2281 · 01-09-2012, 03:46 PM

Yeah get an extra Psylocke and skip out on Thor, Patriot or DD. You'll come across them eventually. Even on eBay they're still cheap

Idk...I'm doing the same thing on Wed from my LCS...He's getting 2 cases..I'm for sure getting 2 psylocks...

Wow. I remember you mentioning this a long time ago. LOL. Definitely double up on Psylocke if you can and just drop either Iron Fist or Daredevil IMO.

Oh, forgot Thor was coming in that one, yah dump him. You didn't mention Iron Fist though... I thought CP Iron Fist was the default Iron Fist for everybody; not sure why we are getting so many Iron Fists. LOL.

WalkingDeadpool · 01-09-2012, 03:59 PM

Just bought 10 of these.....5 bucks each is a great price..They re 15 on Amazon last time I checked..

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

And I paid for a factory sealed Nick Fury 100 bucks with free shipping...Oh well its just extra x-mas money...And now with finding that Var Iron Spidey today..All I need is wave 17:-)...An of course more troop builders;-)

Yup Psylocke and Storm I would double up on and don't even bother with Thor he'll probably be a peg warmer along with Patriot.

Sorry but the thread will be closed if we dont do this:
This thread is for marvel universe figures only.
Stretch strike venom is peg warming in NZ.

Daaaamn. I hope to be that deep in Zombie-Vipers and Renegade Troops... hint hint (if anyone has some at their local!)

WalkingDeadpool · 01-09-2012, 05:37 PM

So how OCD are you with your collections....How many of the same exact figure..Minus troop builders do you have...I do my shelfs in teams...so I need multiples of some figures...in the lead...

3 multiple men: Nuff said.
3 ultrons
3 Cables: I have 2 cable and DP Displays and 1 in my 90's x-men
3 Aston wolvie: 1 for Aston x-men,1 for New avengers,and 1 for herioc age Avengers
3 spider women: 1 for skrull Queen,1 for new avengers,1 for heroic age Avengers
2 Doc stranges:1 for Defenders,and I have 1 for the avengers and the var flying on top..
2 Hawkeyes: 1 for Avengers,and 1 for heroic avengers
2 Cap Marvel: 1 for my cosmic display,and 1 for my avengers
2 Luke Cage: 1 for my New Avengers,and 1 for heroic
2 Buckey cap Cap line: 1 for my skrull invasion display,and one for heroic Avengers
2 Jim Lee cyke: 1 for 90's x-men and one that my BAF Apocalypse is holding
2 DP from 2 pack:1 in my DP Cable display,and one in my weapon x display
2 taskmasters: 1 in my Cable and DP display and 1 in my street level display
2 modern Thors: 1 in my heroic Avengers,and one in my skrull setup
2 Arcangel: 1 in my 90's X-men display,and on in my Galactus Display
2 Thing from 3 pack: 1 in my FF display,and 1 in my heroic Avengers

I know there is more just can't think right now....Now I mean like I said,same exact fig...no repaints,or Variants...

Haha, I'm the same Odd seems more even as you can have a middle one... if that makes sense... I'll explain further...

The middle of 1 and 7 is 4 and the middle of 1 and 8 is 4.5, which makes it un-even as you've got half a figure?

I think too much... anyway onto todays Haul!

I got fed up and ventured further, went to London and Visited Forbidden Planet... BUT, I didn't buy anything. I went down the road first to another comic shop "Orbital Comics" and they had literally all of the latest wave in, which is extremely rare for the UK! I found the set I was looking for and

TADAAAAA. I found Thanos and Adam Warlock, so I jumped right on that and bought it. I've already tried the glove on many other figures but the trouble with MU is that most of the figures have their right fist closed and their left hand open... so it works well on Adam Warlock but fitting it onto just about anyone else won't work very well.

This leads me to my question... what is more powerful... the Infinity Gauntlet or the Cosmic Cube?

Edit: Oh yeah I finally found Astonishing Wolverine too!

I bought a few of those stands today too. Symbiote uses them in his killer displays and I've been meaning to try them out, but never think of it. behindthemask was talking about them earlier so I shot right over to eBay and bought three.

Another thing behindthemask indirectly made me buy was numerous lots of weapons for 3.75" figs. I have hundreds of weapons on the way.. hundreds. I'm going to have a whole armory over here soon... and flying figures. Can't wait
