Gah! Is it worthwhile buying a $20 three pack for one figure?!?

..if you can make a killer custom out of it, hell yes!

Boba Fettuccini · 02-08-2012, 02:51 PM

I pretty much did that for the X-Force Deadpool...

That Hulk I can do...but Thor and IM are lost causes- that armor is sooooo tiny! Not in scale with any MU figures!

MGTAJ · 02-08-2012, 02:55 PM

Is there any chance of a single Rulk being released? Or will I have to purchase this and flog the other two for pennies on ebay?

Jason Abbadon · 02-08-2012, 02:56 PM

Flog em' baby!

bmorr · 02-08-2012, 02:56 PM

buy the green hulk and paint it red. done.

WalkingDeadpool · 02-08-2012, 03:03 PM

Question...Where do you display your red Gaudian fig,and does anyone know which out of the 6 RG is this guy supose to be??

Tiberius · 02-08-2012, 03:09 PM

So today I got around to opening Phasing Vision. I was expecting to go "Meh, shitty body mold" but I didn't. Out of all the figures with that mold, this one works the best. I think the cape gives the illusion that he is taller or something. I really like it though. So epic.

Ok so seeing Symbiote's Nightcrawler was the final straw,iv been wrassling with finally picking up a Nightcrawler figure (he's one of my all-time top three X-men fer chrissakes!!) Iv seen a couple on ebay that are cheekily priced,and im poised to buy,BUT before i do i wondered what you guys thoughts were on him??

I like the figure IMO....

SW 2 Pack has minor paint issues and is flat...
X-Men Box set-IMO the best one...Has the best paint apps by far
X-men box set(VAR)- Still flat,but the Bamfing effect is tits....

He Just needed some Swivil thighs and rocker anckles..But still I think he's great...Ad I just so happen to have a extra SW NC to repaint in UXF colors:-)

What a waste of a three pack. Weren't all the ones we had this year at least repaints of different figures? Bleeding Edge and Thor aren't even REPAINTS in this case. Though I wonder if Thor will have a blue hammer...

Yes, but keep your receipt and buy a sale one three months later, returning it on the full-price receipt.

I love Nightcrawler. It's a shame he hasn't had a single release yet.

Actually the 3 packs have also gone up in price. HTS has them for 23.99, so you know retail will either match or go up in price for them.

Next to Patriot and Captain Britain, flags of the country you know:P
He's James Hudson the original.

James Hudson was never RED Guardian, he was only Guardian. Flags of the country works tho.

I saw them on sale at HTS and Toys R Us online this Christmas, and I've seen them on clearance at Walmart now.

i saw my walmart raised the 3 packs to about 22-23 last time i went. my hopes for a 15 dollar GotG set are still dashed.

Jason Abbadon · 02-08-2012, 04:16 PM

That's the most recent Red Guardian- the one from last year's Supreme Soviets miniseries (whatever it was called).
I took one and made Black Bolt and the other and made Grim Reaper (both in finishing stages).

Ooh thank you for the correction, I didn't realize he meant "Red Guardian". Thought the regular one. I don't have that figure, unless it comes out in a single MU release.

Oh I forgot Union Jack as well...

I think it's a solid figure. I've read people complain that he's too tall, but whatever.. He looks exactly like NC. I'd recommend him.. Any version.

Probably. I got some MU singles for $1-$3 and a GB set for $4 last year and then never saw another MU figure at that Walmart.

I hope not but am not sure. Haven't seen any singles or two packs there since well before Christmas.
