Just buy em now Jay since hasbro pulled the plug on this line for this year , you might end up waiting till next year for this line to show up retail again , besides you can always return em.

Their Movie 2 Joes are in a very inconspicuous, hidden place beneath a bunch of other stuff so there shouldn't be any trouble. (on the other hand, every store I've been to has 100 Renegades Cobra Commanders out front and proud on clearance, lol)

Have you found any Retaliation vehicles?

I just did that myself, so I know how that is, mate. Also hurts the wallet a bit.

Don't forget the traffic, assuming you hit it while hunting...

Haha, congrats! You should be off paternity leave just in time for new MU. Or, just in time to wonder why it's not out yet

quinten182 · 05-29-2012, 01:01 PM

I still can't find that dang poseable spidey. Found plenty of the other suits and dark knight rises stuff.. 6 inch and crappy 4 inch alike.. just no poseable spidey!

Chances are that Spidey will dry up, so get it now while ya can.

shortysben · 05-29-2012, 01:18 PM

yeah I have seen the spidy stuff countless times, but have never seen the ultra poseable one...

Ninjinister · 05-29-2012, 01:20 PM

My shipment from our Chinese friend #1 came in. Sadly I was never able to snag an Invisible Sue, but what I did get (minus custom fodder) are the following:

-MU Shadowland Daredevil
-MU Secret Wars Mr. Fantastic
-IM2 Holographic Mark VI
-WatX Forge
-ASM Manga Spidey
-DCIH Batman (blue & gray)
-DCIH Manhunter
-GL Voz
-GL Herupa
-DK Batman

Pics will be forthcoming as soon as I get my camera back from me mum (hers stopped working just before a family get-together Sunday so I loaned her mine)

EDIT: Forgot that I also got my dad's father's day present in the post today as well - Star Wars R2-KT action figure. Paid WAY less than it normally goes for, which makes me happy.

SH0CKWAVE · 05-29-2012, 01:23 PM

Hell yeah... scored carded Renegades Storm Shadow on eBay!

That's the extent of my (non) Marvel 3.75" appreciation.

Back to Marvel!!

perrych · 05-29-2012, 01:27 PM

Got my FF Invisible Sue and Opaque Dr Strange today. Both are fantastic figures. I wish I had two of the Sue Storms to use as an Emma Frost. Dr. Strange looks very unique with the cloudy finish on him; definitely looks otherworldly. My only criticism is that Sue's lower leg is slightly bent so as she won't stand without some help. But its a minor think in light of the uniqueness of the figure. If this one shows up at retail, it will be a must buy.

shortysben · 05-29-2012, 01:33 PM

reminds me I have to check the mail...ha

Did get a 2ND BAF sentinel today from a fellow boarder, a comic trip turned into a BAF sent. trip...ha ha ha

Thanks Kaewin!

Very great story, interesting villain at the end though. Guess it makes sense.

Now that's an epic score- you having a girl or boy?
I'm thinking Natasha or Tony are good names.

And of course, Jason.

I found ZERO figs today or yesterday buy still want to share some Marvel love- Pioneer in badass, Kevin Hopgood has finished the sketch I commissioned of two of my favorite heroes and buds- this is the prelim he sent while the final is in Fedex to me from the UK.

Name these heroes:

BigHanksCustoms · 05-29-2012, 02:57 PM

I know it's slightly off topic but since retalliati po n Zartan has been mentioned I was at Target and the Zartan they had was dark gray/black on the body. The card art shows it reddish on the body, and the one I scored at TRU is red on the body (pretty sure, I need to double check).

So I know there is black CobraCommander variant, I guess Zartan has a vari as well huh?

Also should I grab those variants? Saw them both at Target just now.

And just to stay on topic, I noticed that MU Patriot's collar/shirt front/belt are all one molded part, good to know for a smaller Spiderman buck option.

SH0CKWAVE · 05-29-2012, 03:12 PM

I'm at Target right now w a Ultra Poseable Spidey in hand... Anyone need one???

I'm leaving the store soon so post quick. Cost plus shipping.
