One piece, I think.

I WANT THAT FIGURE! So when I get home tonight I am simply going to throw mark II head on my destroyer, but.. the size won't exactly be spot-on. Soooo anyone want to take this custom under their wing?

I'd love to do that one. I may put it on the to-do list.

Is that pic taken at Beale(sp) AFB?

Found the Warriors 3 today at my local Target, and a Destroyer too. Up for trade in the BST.

Hogun looks really good but I thought the Volstagg was a bit on the small side, scale wise.

Kayo83 · 10-24-2011, 12:42 PM

Got these yesterday from Target and I have more coming in today from eBay I cant wait

LXL_Guy · 10-24-2011, 12:45 PM

This is the wave I fear will break me, I have got to have Nova & Hercules, probably Angel too since I missed the Archangel wagon and I might end up getting Puck for an eventual Alpha Flight but the first 3 are must buy

Zictor · 10-24-2011, 01:25 PM

My 5th version of Spidey! WOO! I've now got more Spidey's than Iron Men.

Got a bit of articulation problem with the Black Spidey, his right foot doesn't twist and I can't force it either, don't want to try too hard then break it so if anyone has any tips that would be fantastic. Gonna get a pic of all 5 Spider-men together at some point. Quite like them hanging about at the moment.

Lizard and Scorpion are now wrapped up. I know someone on here said they don't like knowing what they're getting and trust me... most of what I'm getting is a closely guarded secret, I was just told that if I got them that day that I could only have one of the 3 figures I purchased and the other two would be given to me at Christmas... Which is fair enough...

LOL I sound like a child!

bmorr · 10-24-2011, 01:25 PM

i cant friggen wait for next year in terms of MU. so much good.

Snowflakian · 10-24-2011, 01:32 PM

I picked up the SHS Helicarrier last night at Marshalls for 15 bucks. Painted it up some to fix some ugly spots(made the front bay window silver so it pops out more aestheticly like on the box) and turned the cannons from red to silver too. I might come back to it and make more of the red different colors so it looks more comic booky and less cartoony bright, but for now I'm really digging how it looks as like the head carrier.

I'm hoping hasbro re-releases it with the avengers movie in a more movie colorized real world aesthetic so I can have two with different colors...

Oh, the reason I mention this? I got some string and hung it on the ceiling in my display/office room. Pics will be coming soon as I get a poster/picture to hang behind it of a skyline.

I gotta admit I was leary of getting it at first until I saw the Marshall's price, but it is a badass thing. Sure it's too small for MU, but if you put MU Yellow jacket, or the upcoming antman on it, they look like the big forms of hank pym by comparison. If you have the micromachines Marvel Vehicles from back in the day, or even micro transformers, they look amazing on it too.

Hopefully when I get around to doing pics, I've found my mini Blackbird jet from that micromachine line. All around I'm just enjoying the hell out of this sucker and how magnificent it looks once you paint those red weapons silver. The only other changes I might make would be to make the red tips on the underside rockets black, the red undercarriage part a gunmetal gray/black, and then the red tops the heli turbines gold. That's kind of what I'm hoping they would do with a re-release of it in new colors though, so I'll wait until post-Avengers on DVD before I do that.

Epic haul man epic indeed. I was thinking Ultro was a pass but the more I see him the better he looks.

Blue and white costume Angel for me. It will go nicely in between both Archangel's that I have.

Kayo83 · 10-24-2011, 04:00 PM

solidwii · 10-24-2011, 04:08 PM

How hard is it to remove the head on the new MU figures with the articulated neck? Can I just pop off the head?

I think Sinister is next with the Gambit pack. Should be good to see. Although are those the same size as the MU one's? Some of them look smaller than the MU line.

I ordered Colossus on ebay, free shipping. This is what the person wrote after he shipped it. "Hello:
Thanks for your purchase, this item is coming mailed free in a bubble envelope, so the condition of the package when it gets to you could be terrible, and I am letting you know this in advance. We are selling this as an opener toy to be played with and added to a set. Hope you are alright with this."
I personally keep them boxed/carded up, so if this comes with the card bent and what not...any suggestions or thoughts if it does?

And dang should have picked them up when I saw them at Target a month ago:P Same goes for Havok, Juggernaut, Winter Soldier and Black Widow instead of chasing them on Ebay:P!!!$$$
