Kayo's pic a few pages back got me looking through some archives. A little more Avengers love..

And one more old one..

Man I really want a GB firehouse with SPMM city background. I love those.

The body though...I've been looking for someting to match that- it's a lot more humanoid than the MU version.

It is one of my goals to own a custom or near release of these figures. My top 5 most want villains are bastion from second coming, ultron annihilation, wolverine AoA X-Force,stryfe, and omega red.

iLegends73 · 01-29-2012, 12:55 AM

well your in luck symboite. that is if u collect larger scale, cause stryfe has been confirmed for a marvel legends release

Boba Fettuccini · 01-29-2012, 02:03 AM

My favorite villains are the kinds in suits. I never get my favorite villains.

I was looking at the Renegadres Duke head as Bastion- just add in a white little chin beard thing, paint his hair white and pop him onto a Steve rogers buck- paint and that's it.
Unless you wanna get crazy with it- then you could chop off Venom's hands and put them on Bastion, use sheet styrene to make those kooky wings and give him a more metallic paintjob.

AoA Wolverine is easily done, thanks to Tiberus for lighting the way on that-
Use the Patch comic pack figure- just chop off a hand and repaint- you can even use the claws from the cut off hand on that silly stump of his.
I was thinking of making the Apoclypse version of him from Uncanny X-Force.
That's so badass.

MU Stryfe is a bitch, but at least you already have the head in Cable- who says clone are useless, right?
Use a classic Thor (or Clor) cape on him- it has that over-the-top look.

Red is the variant, blue is the more common 1 I see online ,I got mine in blue, would love to pick up a red version at some point, seen 1 go for $35+ shipping loose last week, most sellers are asking about $100 + shipped for either version, best deal I see is buy it now super skrull and red goliath pack for $150, still pricey but both good sets.

I got one, the blue one, for 60 dollars shipped just last week in MISB condition.

iLegends73 · 01-29-2012, 02:56 AM

guess it goes by where u live too. walmarts all around me had the red one. i just trades mine some months back

Jason Abbadon · 01-29-2012, 03:03 AM

Really? Huh. I never saw either version in my area, but my LCS owner hooked me up with the yellow-blue version for like thirty bucks- another thirty got me the skrull, which I traded to some Arker for magic beans or some damn thing.

WalkingDeadpool · 01-29-2012, 03:39 AM

Wow....Those sets warmed the shelves for months over here....I got all 3 for 13 bucks a piece at walmart, like 6 months after they hit the selves....Wow..I should have bought more...

MeGrimlock79 · 01-29-2012, 07:26 AM

Yeah the red and blue goliaths flooded my area pretty well but when they hit clearance man that were gone fast. There's a store about 30 miles from me that has 2 of the Thor Clone/Goliath 2-packs I've been thinking of picking up for trade bait but just not sure.

Oh and I've updated the sale thread with new stuff...check it out...I'd let the whole lot go for a great price

Latest Haul

So in my whole time collecting MU I've not seen any version of Whiplash at all anywhere in the UK, and I've been a lot of places. Found a few extra so I picked them up ready for trade. Send me a PM if you're interested! All 3 are for trade.

Hmmm interesting formula for Bastion. I may have all of those pieces in my fodder pile.

As for AoA Wolverine, yeah I wanted to do the one with the hand cannon too. That guy was so badass.

Stryfe, with marvel legends releasing him, I feel its only a matter of time before we see him in MU scale. I hate doing customs of figures then find out that hasbro decides to release them later.

I like this figure a lot more than I like the comic version.

I imagine I'd be stoked if I found something other than IM in the UK too. Hopefully someone who really needs this version of Whiplash will inquire. Out here in the US we see plenty of this movie version. Comic Whiplash I like a whole lot more for aesthetic/nostalgic reasons, but if you don't have/can't find one, movie Whiplash would do.

Every collection has to have Whiplash.

It's my first time trading so I thought it'd be a good idea to pick him up seeing as I'd never seen him. Could go one of two ways... Someone will want one so I'm staying positive!

Yeah, that was me dude, like a year ago. I've still got it too, for now anyway. I think you wanted the Loki from the Frost Giant set, you wanted it really badly if I remember correctly.

SH0CKWAVE · 01-29-2012, 10:57 AM

NIIIIIIIICE!!!! Finding ZEMO!!! so cool, bro.

re: Red Skull. is it just me or does the Resolute Destro 7pk body make RS look too tall??? i kinda like the Napoleonic RS.
