Im not a fan of the Thor/Avengers Movie Hawkeye.

Maybe I will learn to like the outfit after Avengers hits theaters.

Oh yeah, and the Movie one. Thought I forgot one.
So that's Dark Hawkeye, Ronin, SW Two Pack, Ultimate Hawkeye, Avengers light up stand hawkeye, and Movie hawkeye then.

That new sinister pisses me off, it is more than obvious that it is a colussus repaint, even the head! i love hasbro and what they have done with the mu line but this is just lazy! they didn'nt even bother to change the boots! And I dont care what any of you say, that gambit looks terrible, the scarf is a awful addition and the har is super gay. it's gay on tom brady and it's gay on the new gambit.

Of course I'll still buy the 2 pack because i need them both, but they look terrible.

The bottom legs might be the same as the single carded colossus but the upper parts of the leg are new with how it flairs to the side. The rest I'd have to do a side by side comparison, but I thought more was new than just that.

All toy companies have started reusing peices but it really bugs me that they reuse the heads

I sure appreciate Browniekun trading me for these:

That guy's awesome!

They didnt even bother to change the hands, sinister has never been that thick either. he has a thinner profile. Just really lazy on Hasbro's part.

I'm still glad we are getting it, but kinda annoyed.

WOW. That picture really says it all. You have to give them credit for making the same mold look so different though.

Thanks! I'm trying to get there even though Albuquerque's older figure market has been wiped out. The only stores that have older than Dr. Strange's wave left are the specialty stores. I guess I just have to trade for the older ones I still don't have...

Actually, Sinister is often shown that big- certainly he's that big in his first appearances in Inferno.

He's a shape-changer- he can look however he wants....and the original concept was for him to have spliced DNA from several mutants (including Peter) gaining their powers in the process.

I kind of assumed he more meant that Mr Sinister has never looked that big to him. Which I can kind of agree with becouse when I first think of Sinister I don't think of this big strong guy. I more think of the evil Reed Richards then anything.

'Like I said, check his first appearance- if anything, he's BIGGER than Peter there- and like 7-8' tall!

When he's at full power, he's a freakin tank!

BTW, I think that's actually a new head- or at least not the MU head- in that I am making a Super Skrull from a MU Colussus and had to sand off his hair- and the hair was no where near that big and pronounced as that Sinister shows.

I will take a picture of the 1991 marvel card series that has him looking quite thinner than he is portrayed then he looks now.

No dude don't get me wrong I see how big he can get. I was just saying I can see how he would say what he said

Totally right- he's most often shown thinner- I guess so he looks less like Peter in drag.

I want one of those. I'm not tryin to copy you on my shelf. It just kind of ended up like that. My old shelf was so cramped, the bigger one just seemed more natural. I put up spidey like you have him, but instead of a thumbtack I strung fishing line and tied it to the web accessory. Wish 2099 spiderman had the same leg articulation, but he's basically a robot. Probably going to put my silver surfer back up too. I knocked him off galactus' hand 5 times today. Along with spider woman, she need's to be air borne

Bro theres no such thing as copying when it comes to me. We are collectors my fellow arker..we inspire each others collection. I have got alot of ideas from 3.75 thread and all of toyark. Keep up the good work bro.

I think the steve rogers head would make a decent peter parker. Like the old 90s spiderman line figure that came with a camera.

The bottom legs might be the same as the single carded colossus but the upper parts of the leg are new with how it flairs to the side. The rest I'd have to do a side by side comparison, but I thought more was new than just that. __________________
