Those look dope! I want to pick them up but i know its going to be hard to find in my area. They never carry any of the exclusives. Does anyone know what So Cal walmarts have em in stock?

I agree, Im not a MIP collector but that Thor hammer packaging is sick and im kicking myself over not ordering 2 from HTS.

They had 4 of each at this walmart and it carries no MU at all. So looks like it's more likely that you will see them.

Noooo don't open it! I have mine in package too and even as a loose collector there is no way I can justify that! Haha

I probably will hold off on opening it, but I've been getting closer and closer. I'm not collecting toys as an investment, so the resale value means nothing to me,... "to open Thor, or not to open Thor" ..I love that I'm stressed over that. There's people out there living in dirt huts and I'm worried about keeping something mint in hammer box. lol

Huge shout out to Disrup! After seeing his post I drove down to Ross and BAM! This guy was the one and only Iron Man 3.75 figure in the store.

Wow. That is quite awesome. I'm still on the hunt for one.

On another note, today, I opened the MU Galactus I got over the weekend. He is just as badass as I figured he'd be. Glad I found him at retail (after I passed on him for a long time).

I have one I'm thinking of selling, I'm not a Thor fan and feel like someone else would better appreciate this thing.

New wave today on my doorstep from BBTS.

Got the fully morphed Absorbing Man.. I must say the color looks REALLY nice.. they put a cool silver wash over it to give the black a metalic look.. very nice. His eyes are silver that really pop against the all black figure. Im happy!

IceMan .. cool (haha) I like the Xfactor costume.. wish he wasnt so happy.. but hey..

Wolverine is sweet. Nice size.. pissed off and ready to gut someone (seems like Wolvie get F-ed up more than he dishes it out anymore)

Magneto.. pretty good.. like him better than the 2 pack.. some have complained about the shadowy face just looking dirty.. mine liooks pretty good.. the piecing eyes really show in the shadow of his helmet.

Iron-Man .. eh.. pretty good. I have about enough Iron Men.. but the figure is a plus overall... mine has nice paint on the face.. his mustache is in the right place.. which is what i was worried about. Cool that the base says "Tony Stark". Im happy with the wave...

...now where to hide these so that I can slip them into my collection one by one.. without the wife noticing the influx!! LOLOL

Went to toysrus today, one scarlet spider two falcons and pegs full of a revision wave, featuring classic ms marvel and moonknight(not a bad thing seeing so much MK) and a punisher with no skull detail, looked like a giant marshmallow.

That Punisher sounds like a Nice mistake for a collector... Not my kind of buzz...but I bet somebody will be interested

Hellyea you found it! Big ups!

Tiberius · 10-04-2011, 06:37 PM

Nice finds everyone! Seems Hasbro is stepping it up seeing the 3 3/4 figures are getting more and more popular! The Real Canadian Superstore in my area [and that I work at] got Warriors 3 and Destroyer armour wave in for Thor. They never carried Thor till now. So to me it was a big surprise!

Do Boy · 10-04-2011, 07:31 PM

No Mags or Absorbing man. But got these at Target ok the way home from work.

Answer A: He is suppose to be big

Answer B: The head is translucent because his chest lights up and carried into his head like he is charging up for a blast. I will probably paint it.

It'll probably glow cooler if you paint it too.
Is it 5 inches tall or is it the smaller one I keep seeing, made to look big with your photography?

ANy rate nice score man.

Boba Fettuccini · 10-04-2011, 08:55 PM

There's a 5 inch on, the tall one is 8 inches. That is the smaller one.

^^^this. I am kind of sad that it is only 5 inches, IF that. By looking at it, Destroyer looks smaller than Iron Monger, which shouldn't be.
