It's not that it's a known issue, but what he's getting at is, if you were to have 1 figure break on you, you'd much rather it be pyro then say deadpool, considering how little he normally costs. If you are buying any figure for MOC then no worries, it will be fine. But if you plan on having the figure loose for display/etc, then you need to factor in age, condition and if it's loose you should be fine, but expect maybe loose joints and the odd paint issue. MOC can be fine, but also can result in what happened to you. A good precurser to do is submerge your figure in hot-lukewarm water for a good 5-10 minutes before your start moving the joints around, as this will loosen up the "muscles" and make the figure more plyable.

So recap, if you plan on leaving them MOC, no worries. If you want them loose, then try to buy loose lots. I had longshot before and no issues, execept it's a shitty figure, lol. Lady deathstrike has 6 arms so there's more chances of her having an arm snap then just about anybody else. I have ML deadpool and Hawkeye both MOC, and I would love to open both, but I have the feeling a leg or arm may snap.

Is there an arker on here who runs/updates the Marvel Collectors app ? I would like to see the chances of getting some updates added, namely walmart exclusives Avenger figures, SDCC Thor, and 6'' Iron Man movie figures, 1st time I got the app it had the IronMan catalogue added for 6'' figures, from the 1st movie which was awesome, but after an update it was removed. I'm getting farely close to acquiring all IM figures and would love to have the list added, thanks.

I have that figure, I'm missing Thorbuster variant Destroyer and Faceoff Series variant War Machine and Mandarin, to have all ML figures. Then I'm missing less then 10 of the IM1 movie figures and they're primarily the concept figures ie gold mark I, stealth iron monger, the 3pack that was released. Once those 2 lines are complete, I will pick away at the MS figures released, I tried to be a complete with the MU and IM2 line but just couldn't, I much prefer IM in larger scale items. Then my focus will shift to finding the remaining ML figures I want. From there probably some more Hot toys IM figures.

Pros From Dover · 07-07-2012, 09:26 AM

I have a couple of the Hot Toys figures, but I think that's about all I'll be able to afford.

I got my Faceoff War Machine not too long ago for a great price. Blew me away. I bid on a carded set yesterday just for shits and giggles, since the price was so low. Got sniped of course.

I don't think I have any duplicates of the IM1 figures, but I'll check. I was lucky to get a full set of those. My wife got most of them for me, I was in Afghanistan at the time.

Nice, I got 1 hot toys figure, Mark III battle damaged, got for a good price off a local guy. Yah man LMK if you find any extra, I am bidding on a few needs atm, such as destroyer, few concept figures, some icons and other ML , we'll find out next week if I actually win them or get snipped, or prices get out of control.

Pros From Dover · 07-07-2012, 09:39 AM

Good luck on the auctions. None of that is stuff I am looking for, so it won't be me that snipes you.

I am working on the 93/94 Toy Biz figures now. Gotta try to snipe one here in about 2 hours.

Thanks man, you too, good luck with the older figures, Pretty sure I have an oldschool Mandarin figure loose, and in kinda blah shape, but if you want it lmk.

Never properly thanked us agent for helping me complete my classic color f4

warmachine6 · 07-07-2012, 10:25 AM

i think i'll grab a hot toys iron man 2 war-machine one day

Pros From Dover · 07-07-2012, 10:34 AM

I'd love to have one of those.

If I get another one, the MK V will be my next one. Or the MK VII when it comes out.

That's funny because mine has a set with a mangled box and I keep trying to get them to price it lower than the $17 it's at now. Am I trippin or should I go ahead and scoop this? Sue has some paint wear on her leg but its barely noticable. Torch is cool. Lol seriously they box is destroyed. You can touch the figs.

spiral too. That bitch has 6 arms. Who needs that many hands. She'd make a good madam, but I still think i'd add her. Mojos whole crew needs a MU treatment

If you can talk them into a cheaper price than that'd be great but I wouldn't risk waiting and then possibly losing out as it's a nice set. It would've been great if you could remove the flames from Johnny but whatcha gonna do I guess.

jaybird7072 · 07-07-2012, 02:25 PM

I helped him get a bunch of pics and update his list for MU but I haven't seen him around in a while. I think I still have his email address. He did an update not too long ago.
