Try Ikea,they got some sweet display cases for great prices.

Like Jackieboy said, IKEA is great.

I use the IKEA DETOLF cabinets. They're cheap ($65), sturdy, and a good size for teams.

When I have space, I double up with a cheap counter display table (Haven't actually bought them yet) or make one myself out of foam board.

I'd avoid IKEA's other cabinets. Anything too deep with side walls is going to be very dark and hard to see, in my experience.

Here's a recent pic of my collection (You can see where I need to double up the shelves with the X-men on top):

Check these guys out for figure stands. Good stuff at good prices.

Its an ok figure....if you want a movie version,get the mark Vll,if you want it just for armory purpose then its an ok fig...I think its just a mark Vl with less articulation.....if so get the IM 2 Mark Vl

Haven't opened it yet so the above comments are more accurate.

snake5289 · 06-10-2012, 11:20 AM

I had the IM2 Mark VI but the leg broke off and I can't find another. Plus I like the MVC homage weapon he comes with. As for the Mark VII it was awesome on the big screen but something about the figure just seems off. Can't quite put my finger on it but I may end up getting it when Avengers figures come down in price a bit. Shouldn't be too long from now.

I like that. Just noticed the high heels

That Viper is indeed awesome. Not too familiar with the character but loved her in the Cap/Spidey team-up episode of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Heres some appreciation!! The ultimate battle!

I agree with you about the Mark VII, the 3.75 in version just doesnt really matchup with the onscreen model, needs missile hatches IMO to show off his arsenal. also the non articulated wrists make it look awkward in certain poses.

I've read reviews about the Avengers Mark VI, the figure is a remold of the IM2 MKVI with less articulation. I like the gun though, can do some kick-ass MVC posing against like Ryu. I like the IM2 Mark VI a lot. It peg warms like crazy up here in Canada though, TRU's are full of him and the light up version of him for $5....

Articulation isn't there, but I feel like everyone should know this about the Avengers line by now, so I'm assuming you're aware of that. Paint apps are very nice and shiny. I have it (and the Mark VII) and it's very nice just as long as you aren't going for any crazy poses.

FancyPants · 06-10-2012, 12:35 PM

The MS marvel girl's stand would look so good on a dio, the gates to the mansion or whatever that is

name · 06-10-2012, 12:36 PM

found a super posable spiderman today and immediatly put it back down. that little thing is NOT worth ten bucks...its so small and cheap looking.

will we ever get a decently posable COMIC style spiderman >=[

Articulation isn't a deal breaker as long as it looks good. The basic comic Spider-Man from the new movie line is awesome and I think it has less articulation than the Avengers movie line.

Awesome doesn't even begin to describe this. Wish they made a 3 3/4 RE5 Chris Redfield so I can display my MVC3 team of Spider-Man, Chris Redfield, and Hulk.

I seems every place has increased their prices. When i found my ultra posey spidey they were all at $8.. now everywhere you go they all stand close to $10..

snake5289 · 06-10-2012, 12:43 PM

I was in Wal-Mart last Wednesday and they were still 7.47 before tax. Hope they don't start going up in price because there are a few more I'd like to get.

The Super Hero Showdown Spidey is pretty comic looking and is just as poseable as any MU figure ever made.
