Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

gunzilla · 03-16-2012, 09:03 AM

Today i received the avengers cap,Thor and hawkeye I have to say these are awesome figures the detail in the sculpts and paint apps are amazing it just boggles my mind that Hasbro went cheap on the articulation it makes figures that should be a 10 more like 7 normally I'm not into rereleases but I hope they redo these 3 with more articulation
and a shout out to lord marvel for giving those of us with limited funds great deals

I would love one of these.. I don't know much about the Indy toyline, but I see people posting some real gems from that line sometimes. It often seems like people are talking about how hard it was to find this/that, so that might be a tough (or pricey) one. Very cool though.

Heck ya, I have yet to see those in retail and it's spring now. Wonder why Retail is taking so long in getting them in and on the pegs.

I still haven't seen the Daredevil/Bullseye pack yet. Been wanting that one for a long while now.

I agree on the sucky articulation and on LORD MARVEL racking up crazy good karma.

Thanks. I think it's a fair price. I'm kicking myself for not picking up more. When Targets got hammered with all of those revisions over the last couple of weeks I just figured he'd saturate the market, but it seems like he flew right off the pegs just as quickly as his initial release. I bought two, one to sell/trade here, and another for my MOC collection, but I left four AA's on the pegs across two local Targets.. which were gone in a day.

Ya I would have bought them all up for Arker's...if you still have it next week, I'll def. take it off your hands. Need one to play with:P I have a MOC already.

Looks great- though it'd be even cooler if you added some metallic green to the torso and upper thighs- and it would distance his look further from Iron Man too!
DOOM DOES NOT STEAL ARMOR!
...except in that FF episode, which was awesome, BTW, with Reed easily guessing Tony was IM.

This leads to a question I've often asked myself, and can't remember if I asked it here.

Were money no object, would you buy every HTF toy you ran into, even if you didn't have it, just so you could provide it to others?

bmorr · 03-16-2012, 02:58 PM

only if i actually found 2 colored visions. ill never find one so i guess a guy can dream.

The ones that I think are rare, yes I would.

Just saw Single MU Dark Hawkeye at my LCS which I have them holding if anyone needs him let me know. Shoot me a PM.

Dude, looks sick so far! I'd say you'd only need a bit of paint to finish this off! But I digress, have at it, and post the results.
