Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Here's another I took of when Gladiator beat up Warpath for looking at him funny.

Can anyone tell that I'm not working very hard today? I don't even know why I'm in the office today. I'm not doing shit.

Symbiote · 07-01-2011, 09:39 AM

Not having plans is also a good plan. I'm diggin that nightcrawler variant. Definitely on my want list along with the new storm.

Here are some bouts I have from my showcase
Gladiator getting pwned by silver savage

Movie doc ock vs movie spiderman

Thanos vs captain marvel

X-Men vs Dark Avengers

I'll post more later. Looking forward to this weekend to create more bouts.

Those flight stands you have kick ass. I'm going to have to get some of those.

Tiberius · 07-01-2011, 11:24 AM

Yea I'm going to need some flight stands at some point too. Love Namor trying to shitkick Sentry XD Can't remember what comic that was from, X-men something or other.

Symbiote · 07-01-2011, 01:23 PM

Tiberius, its from the x men book eutopia, Dark x men. Same one where dark spiderman takes on colossus, cyk vs iron patriot, archangel vs dark hawkeye.

Hobbylinks japan is place where I got my flight stands. They come with a good price to them but sooo worth it. It will make your display 10 times better and adds depth and character. They come with 3 different length arms and 3 different clasps. Stock is low so get on it.

Tiberius · 07-01-2011, 05:30 PM

I gotta ask Symby, How did you extend his testies? I mean Tenties? I am thinking on doing that because I will never come across a showdown doc ock and that movie style one is imo a lot cooler.

Symbiote · 07-01-2011, 11:01 PM

I had to get two sets of tentacles. Bought one doc ock and the spiderman with the tentacles. I cut them up into their sectioned pieces. Painted them metallic. Drilled small holes thru and then put a paper clip on each set. Makes them posable too. Took some work but gotta have a doc ock with posable tentacles. I opted for the movie version cause I like spiderman 2 and how they portrayed him in that movie, like the tenacles had a mind of their own.

Tiberius · 07-01-2011, 11:43 PM

That's badass dude. To far out of my league though on the tentacle part.

Symbiote · 07-02-2011, 09:59 AM

But its sooo worth it.

(just to rant a little) Freakin bbts. Ship my xforce pack already. Need xforce deadpool to complete the new team

My hang out/man room/office/whatever has toys and sports and movie stuff all over the place..

Oh I am!! I started with Selects and Legends and tonight I'm going to work on the Universe figures.

I don't get it. They haven't shipped my FF set either. The Avengers shipped alone last week.

Tiberius · 07-02-2011, 01:49 PM

putting in pre-order for Steve Rogers wave...now I don't know if I want too with these sending out issues I am reading aboot.

Symbiote · 07-02-2011, 03:10 PM

Good thing about bbts is they don't charge you until they ship it. So you always have the option of balling if you end up changing your mind.

Jason Abbadon · 07-02-2011, 07:55 PM

For the Showdown Doc Ock, I'm not thrilled with the sooty- almost black tenticles so I'm swapping a set of old skool Secret wars tenticles in there and just adding on the Showdown manipulators on the ends- should make the fig able to stand on it's tenticles!

NerfTW · 07-03-2011, 04:41 PM

I found em.

Tiberius · 07-03-2011, 04:48 PM

Thanks Nerf. It is honestly a shame that I have to open these...the box art for these figures have gotten amazing. Oh sigh.

LOL. Sorry about that. I was going to actually post the pics, but it wouldn't let me save them.

neatogecko · 07-05-2011, 01:04 PM

I stopped by Target today and saw that they had a pretty good assortment of MU figures out. They had Thanos, WWH, Apocalypse, Jim Lee Cyclops, Clear Flame on Torch, Mystique, Black Costume Spiderman, and a bunch of others. They had a hopeless Cable too, but after my visit there it's gone

Tiberius · 07-05-2011, 01:30 PM

So teasing.
