That's actually canon, he wielded that beast during the Civil War/War Journal area when he was wearning a cap suit. The gun came in the Punisher MU variant thingy.

I'm almost sure that gun is broken in pieces by his feat in the linky. Possibly cuz it was shot once and destroyed every gal's hymen.

What's even more insane, that's not big for him, look at this: http://www.ferretpress.com/blog/wp-c...s_bullseye.jpg

Yeah? Enlighten us if you will, are there more or are these it?

I haven't noticed any new happenings in the world of Marvel Universe lately. Am I just missing something or is the Psylocke wave still the latest thing they really put out aside from those two-packs?

bmorr · 03-17-2012, 05:50 AM

most of us are waiting for the new wave and the sinister/thanos packs to show up.

shortysben · 03-17-2012, 07:10 AM

most of us are just going crazy for something new...in my case I buy overly priced MU and try to make overnight customs that never turn out right....

Hasbro CMON!

bmorr · 03-17-2012, 09:42 AM

i did finally find the comic series hawkeye today. hes an ALRIGHT figure. not great, but ok. I like hawkeye and he gonna be kinds hard to find in this area so why not. I do wanna massacre his gattling gun weapon to give to the punisher.

Tarooster · 03-17-2012, 10:31 AM

its also good for Destro's Castle, in case ya do the Joe thang.

shortysben · 03-17-2012, 10:44 AM

yeah...joes...they are a catch 22...I want to get out so bad, but I know once I do I will want the new movie stuff, and regret selling them all, I have a TON of stuff

No idea, I'll look into it though, wonder if there are more. They're exactly 3.75" that it's crazy. Two or three are like 2cms shorter, but they can all stand on one leg sturdy and have amazing paint apps that need to be seen. Ayane's giant yellow bow on her back looks almost airbrushed and Kasumi's blue outfit is metallic. Their hair is also like half-translucent, so Lei-Fang has these nice red highlights, looks like her hair is translucent red with black paint over it. The weakest of the group has to be Kasumi, maybe cuz she's modest, but she can't really spread her legs.

Teehee.

They made some devil may cry figures like that, but good luck trying to find DAnte, even if you do get lucky, he's likely to be the devil may cry 2 version.

Did they make a christie like that?

ROC pre production 'Jungle Assault' Storm Shadow (China) G.I. Joe Forum Discussions at The Terror Drome » View topic - Pre-Production
POC Ultimate Snake Eyes - one of the greatest toys ever made, let alone the best version EVER of ole SE.

Symbiote · 03-17-2012, 11:13 AM

Does anyone know where the doa figures are from? I really want to look for these?

Haloid1177 · 03-17-2012, 11:27 AM

Found a lone Archangel at Target. First time I've seen a non-variant in the wild. Love the figure. Possibly my favorite MU figure made.

thechris · 03-17-2012, 11:39 AM

Yeah, not really sure what happened with the Marvel stuff. Seems so slow now. Same with DC. Now I'm just doing the MOTU Classics thing. Ah well.

I know the color sheme is a little off, but a little touch paint and some filler, he should be straight!

What do you guys think?

That's wonderful! I wouldn't even care about the paint. That figure looks damn good!

I agree. Sucks they only put one per case in that rev. Also sucks they've moved on to the Cable/Apocalypse rev case now.

UPDATE on the figures I have left:

4 for $20 shipped loose, $25 shipped MOC
I have multiples of a few of those, so if you need doubles of any, that may work too.

Where the Hell is beast n the rest of the wave

vampireheart · 03-17-2012, 12:10 PM

MU is just being held back because of Legends, I dont think Marvel wants to compete with themselves and at the same time some of us that want to get our marvel fix WILL do so by buying Legends, smart move if you ask me, of course its all speculation and for all we know an Avengers Movie Hulk got stuck in the machines at the factory halting production indefinitely...

I've posted this pic before, but I just wanted to confirm that these "lovely ladies" do indeed work great with MU and other 3 3/4" inch figures. ;D

Sure thing Symbiote, they are from Takara. Just type in "Takara DOA" into ebay search bar and there's a few sets of all 6 figures here and there for about $30 and up. Hope that helps!.

Thanks I just bought a set for 35 shipped...

Scythe · 03-17-2012, 02:30 PM

Oh! Steef is correct, Takara does make the DOA figs. All I was about to find was KT, no idea.

Thanks, should I find another, I'm gonna customize it into his battle van.

Glad I could bring the DOA figs into the light again. They're a great filler until more new MU stuff hits.

shortysben · 03-17-2012, 02:52 PM

If anyone is also a joe collector, hit me up, I am letting all of mine go!

Ms Marvel is getting promoted to Captain

CAPTAIN MARVEL

I personally like the new costume, it keeps the sash, but I think her classic black is the best....as for that hair....please regrow it carol.

Anyway. Your Assignment Toyark, CUSTOM CAPTAIN MARVEL. Give Carol Her New Do! and lets hope Hasbro makes her MU fast cause I want it
