We all need that damn Rulk.

Jason Abbadon · 10-24-2011, 10:16 PM

Rulk has become a favorite of mine- AFTER Grek Pak and others revamped him into a likable character!

Here's a quick pic of what I got today.

I used a Harley Davidson 1:18 1942 WLA Flathead,I believe that is the same bike that was used in the movie.

That looks amazing. What brand/series is that from? Where'd you find it? I want a nice bike for my captain america. the one i was looking at from big lots looks awful compared to that, even after a paint job

Jason Abbadon · 10-24-2011, 10:23 PM

That looks great- but swap that modern rifile for Bucky's WWII Tommygun!

I like it. Excellent bike but I agree with Jason. That simple swap will make a world of differece.

Proof it's always worth looking at the Walmarts and Targets while out of town:

Of course, you can also run into this (it was at the walmart):

Looks like Canada.

As per the stretch strike.... I personally prefer the other venom figure released not as appealing esthetically. I do like the sculpt detail, but hate that the eyes and mouth on the stretch strike hand isn't painted, yet it shows painted on the cardback. I also hate the type of click joints they used for the shoulder and legs, plus lack of articulation. if you don't want him then trade/sell him. but if your a completist then keep him.

I have actually never held one in my hand that wasn't MOC. I've traded or sold all of them.

Not really- that figure sucks on ice- crappy hips that are hard to pose and he's way skinnier than Spider Man!
A terrible figure of my favorite charcater- for the same price you can find the classic Iron Man from the IM2 comic line.
Hopefully this fig never gets put into revision cases!

Fortune · 10-24-2011, 10:53 PM

Peterparker the first haul is awesoe. The second pic....yeah ....thats pretty bad.

MeLikeJinx · 10-25-2011, 02:17 AM

I love how all the MU cards look basically the same since wave 1... it allows me to display newer MOC figs next to older MOC figs (like to complete my favorite team or whatever) and they still look good together.

Unlike Star Wars or Joes who drastically change the packaging every few years... I hope MU keeps the basic MU packaging the same all the way until the very end.

there was 1 target that that I saw the same thing but with gladiators. Good thing they had BOGO to clear those out.

Nexodusrex · 10-25-2011, 06:50 AM

hey guys, thought I'd share this website with you all. It sells speciality Diorama accesories and even base boards. Nothing like cities, but I can see epic ideas coming from this place alone. Still great for Marvel Universe

TerranScapes ~ Army Showcase Display Boards

just check out some of this stuff

This thing is 200+ bucks, but I oh so want it. If I win the lottery man. Just imagine this thing, and then get a dozen or so GIJoe Snow Serpents and pit them against a Wild Man Wolverine in Canada, Fresh from Weapon X.

and check this thing out.

I know its not Marvel related, but it can be with the right figures on it. lol
