I cannot express enough how much I like the bag spiderman. If I had 9 of them, I could head swap my paper bag AIM army.

FancyPants · 08-10-2012, 07:53 PM

Here's some off topic.

I attempted to make a custom galactus buster iron man. He's almost done, I just don't have the time or patience for it. I'd like to give him to someone on here to finish. The reward being me seeing him complete. I'll post pics later on. I should have done that first. I made a thread about it when I Joined toyark

Quasimodo · 08-10-2012, 08:15 PM

So are the new waves at retail yet?

But for me I have to budget, as do many collectors. So I pre-order or wait to see what happens at retail. If worse comes to worse I'll pay what I have to, but most likely I'll find deals that are more affordable than $25 a figure. It's not like my collection has suffered from waiting. I have almost every figure released. The only one I don't have that is rare is Blade. Other than that I have all the exclusives and most all the rare figures out there. So unless it's a mater of not being able to wait, I see no point in allowing scalpers to rape me.

I generally do the same thing. But speaking of Blade, I cannot believe how much he goes for now. When MU first came out I wasn't going to collect them but I still grabbed a few here and there. Shortly after wave 1 and 2 came out, I got sucked in big time. But still never picked him up. I must've seen Blade a million times and just never got him. I wouldn't mind having him now, but it is what it is and I just can't justify paying that much for a figure. Especially considering the amount of times I saw him for less then 8 bucks.

Wait, wha-?

gunzilla · 08-10-2012, 09:02 PM

I can express how much I like the new punisher now that I have him I want extras I hope Hasbro redo blade with all his weapons that would be awesome

Jason Abbadon · 08-10-2012, 09:18 PM

It's funny- they all look frozen in ice.
"Suprised by the new Blizzard, the Avengers and Loki were frozen solid and dropped into the ocean- how will they survive? Find out next issue.."

shortysben · 08-10-2012, 09:38 PM

Alright, unfucked! BST is updated and now open to selling! Hit me up!

Appreciation notes...BETA Ray is FUCKING SICK...enough said...

Jubilee...not as bad as I thought she would be...

Finally got a SHS Doc Ock...I am okay with the short tentacles, but he is 100x better than any other 3.75 version of him!

Truly a revision with him in it is needed. Think of how dreaded such a thing would be to scalpers. I never liked that mold. He's an all around good looking figure, but I figured they would make another version at some point. I want to make a custom Gambit and use his coat. So for that reason alone I regret not having picked him up. You snooze you lose.

Beta Ray Bill is truly a gem to be cherished. I've seen some arkers talk about not knowing much about him or even passing. I would strongly suggest that you check him out. He's one bad ass mother!

Paint apps are perfect, stormbreaker (hasnt yet, cause the girl has to wake up early), but will destroy everyone with it!

And did I mention his F'ing mouth opens!

scottmurdock · 08-10-2012, 10:20 PM

The BBTS revision case can't get here fast enough...I want my Waves 18 & 19!!!
@Shorty - can you take a comparison pick w/ say Cable and Thor of BRB so we can see how tall he is?

Tiberius · 08-10-2012, 10:20 PM

Everyone finding new MU is driving me NUTS.

I agree about SHS Doc Ock. Shockwave hooked me up with one and it is the best out there. I have no idea what Hasbro was thinking with that other Doc Ock. I'm thinking about digging out my old Toy Biz Doc and maybe using those tentacles on him somehow.

Ha Ha! This made me smile! I don't know what it is about Beta Ray, but he's just so freaking awesome! He should have a much stronger presence in the comics.

Best thing ever, when BR Bill was in the Planet Hulk animated movie. BOSS!

The Avengers DVD comes out in September, I wonder if they will wait a few weeks after that to put all The Avengers stuff on clearance. Can't wait for the DVD... yah I know... I'm like the only person left on Earth who hasn't seen it yet. LOL.
