maybe this is a purchase i can look out for at the local scalperpalooza conventions to save on shipping. ie Frank n Son's. lol.

Speaking of Frank N Sons, does any one know of any specific seller/booth there that are willing to buy Sideshow statues? I'm needing to sell mine off. Feel free to PM me for the info. Thanks!

What's with Hasbro releasing ONE House of M character? That makes no f'ing sense at all! Two or three, okay, you're building something. But ONE MINOR character from a short storyline?!?

It never occurred to me until today that this is extremely weird. They could have put one of Spidey's thousands of other outfits on him and still sold just as much, but having a SINGLE House of M character is just plain stupid.

Thats true not even H.O.M. Hulk or Deadpool with Baby Cable lol

Agree with you there, and they pick Spider-Man too, when House of M was more about the mutants. They could have even done Scarlet Witch which would have been awesome.

TheLongestDay · 03-15-2012, 02:48 PM

It was just an excuse to release ANOTHER spidey - it just so happens they chose his House of M costume...they are probably running out of ideas from the comics right now...theyve pretty much done them all (hell even the Amazing BAG MAN is coming :P)

NoodleChow · 03-15-2012, 02:51 PM

if i was told to have a quota of iron man, spidey, and wolverine in a wave, i'd have a wheel-o-costume set up to take care of it.

haha yeah, but to be fair... i totally wanted that from the start =D
then seeing pics of him at toyfair cemented that fact. i hope for an actual head under there but wouldn't be surprised if it was just disembodied eyes.

I agree. They wanted to throw out another Spidey, and this is what they picked. But still, how many kids wanted a House of M version? I'd think more kids would want the awesome one that came with Captain Britain...

You really could do the same costume remade into a better figure and have it work. Look at how many Storm Shadows and Snake Eyes have come out.

YES. I'd love to get a MU version of the Spider-Armor and Spider-Hulk and Man-Spider.

Symbiote · 03-15-2012, 03:59 PM

Anyone planning on going to wondercon in anaheim this weekend? I'm thinking of going on sat.

Iceman · 03-15-2012, 03:59 PM

Man-Spider for sure. And even though it's gimmicky Spider-Hulk (could come with a Spider-Ham). These are the things they need to do instead making a 20th red and blue Spidey

snake5289 · 03-15-2012, 04:10 PM

I never really cared for Spider-Ham but if he was included with something else I would not complain one bit.

HELL YES!!!

do it Hasbro.

Nexodusrex · 03-15-2012, 04:25 PM

went to Target and 2 Walmarts today. Total Shelf Reorganization. Target has 10 spots for Marvel Universe, and 3 spots for comic packs, most of them sold out, some of the new set were out too.

Walmarts were almost completely sold out of MU, and I saw the WM/QS and DD/BE comicpacks.

all 3 stores had Marvel Legends, and those were Shelf Warming like mad.

after a big store shelving shift that I saw, with that much MU spots, its good news.

uberlad · 03-15-2012, 04:26 PM

I really want a six-armed Spidey. I'm a big Spidey guy, so I'm not against all of the repaints. From the Spidey line, I've managed to get a Mike Weiringo-style head, a Deodato-style head, I've been able to make a Ramos-style one...

as long as they keep the different versions coming, I'm a happy boy.

Kayo83 · 03-15-2012, 04:50 PM

My Latest Haul This week also a Custom im working on
Thanks to LazarusGundam for Gambit

snake5289 · 03-15-2012, 05:25 PM

Six armed Spidey would be so awesome. Loved the episode of the 90s animated series where he had the six arms and then full on mutated into Man-Spider.

Blood · 03-15-2012, 05:46 PM

I just got a spare invaders pack, someone interested?

Basically, they just need to give us different stuff. Like if they make another Iron Man give us Thorbuster or Space Armor.

SH0CKWAVE · 03-15-2012, 07:30 PM

i need a Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing.

lol.
