My brother used to have tons of guns for his punisher. Gotta remember where he got them I mean he had a custom War wagon just FILLED with guns. But at least the new punisher will have about SEVEN FREAKIN GUNS!

Not sure if I am sold on the new ML one. I have one and I love it to death.

Yeah I love that punisher but I am a sucker for large amounts of guns! But so far that punisher that you have pictured is my fave.

Tiberius · 10-31-2011, 11:58 PM

I cant remember if at NYCC they showed ML Punisher, or just said he was in the works.

behindthemask · 11-01-2011, 12:00 AM

Hahah I'll fill in the missing blanks, as I traded him the cable figure and weapons, the rifle is from bebop from the vintage TMNT line that got repainted in silver, the small pistal was from 1 of the bad guys from DickTracey, and the other is a custom gun from TMNT as well using a gi joe part for the double barrells and was painted to match. and yeh man it's honestly not a big deal about the staff, they're like 1/2 long metal rods that have a male and female end so they can thread together, if you get like 4-6 you can make a sweet staff. Hardware store sells them for like 30-40cents, I'll pick a few up and mail em sometime this week, shouldn't cost me more then a $1 to ship it lol. I have some of them here just can't remember what bin their in.

Thanks dude, means a lot! I still think I am going to look for wooden skewers too though for I can make my XMO Gambit a proper staff.

Haha that's the thing, the staff I'll send you will actually fit both

I know because I had both ahah. If you like it let me know and I can always send you more, I'm going to do a slight custom work to it to make it a true staff, I'll use a small dab of sculpy on the bottom female end to make it smooth and on the top I'll be filing the male end down, small dap of paint and vola perfect staff, I've made a bunch of them before.

Got to explain the male and female end thing to me bro, I got no idea what you be talkin about haha.

behindthemask · 11-01-2011, 12:43 AM

I'll try and explain without being too graphic, lol.The staff itself is made up of 4-6 small 1/2'' long by 1/8'' thick alluminum rods. Like a very thick metal coathanger. The top end has threads like you'd see on a bolt. The other end is hollow but has threading on the inside so the they can "screw together" and form a longer piece. The end with the threads/the end that "screws/tightens" into the hole is called the male end, the end with the whole and interal threadings is called the female end. This termanalogy is used in plumbing ,construction, automotive,marine,avaiton, hell bmx bikes lol.

the top end is female, the bottom end is male.

this is actually the closest I could find to what the pieces look like

and once I get enough connected it, they form a sweet metal staff that' very sturdy, and i simply file the top threaded part on 1 of them and fill the bottom on 1 and it makes a flawless staff, and then it's up to you if you want to take a section or 2 out. they can also make some sweet nunchucks out of them. hope this sheds some light .

My walmart has the new Cap 6 inch line with about 4-5 Nick Fury's in stock. Didn't know if it was still sought after or in demand by anyone, so just figured I'd say it here. Thor line was still empty though, for the time being.

FancyPants · 11-04-2011, 06:38 PM

Is the marvel select line in scale with say...the 6in movie figures?

Depends on the figure. People like deadpool are way too tall but people like Juggernaut or Thanos work

Reaver Strike · 11-04-2011, 07:14 PM

I just saw all of the movie 6" figures for Cap and Thor at a WM tonight. The comic version of Loki is pretty good looking.

I'm still holding out hope that one day I will see a young Loki and he will look as good to me as the MU one that comes with the frost giant.

He looks awesome, but comes with nothing. Huge turn off. Now that thor is something i'd be willing to get into

From the waist up he is.

His awful hips are as such that if you want to make it look like he's pooping, your in luck. But if you want him oh I don't know..crouch menacingly? You're S.O.L. Thanks for that one Hasbro... :/

IhsantheCursed · 11-05-2011, 01:02 AM

ya know what Ive always thought was crazy? Why is it that one can easily find and purchase every figure in the "Legendary Riders" series of ML EXCEPT for Hulkbuster Ironman. Whenever I find this figure somewhere (for example on Amazon) hes like $70 already. I just dont get why the others are so much more affordable. Blade is JUST as cool of a figure. (shrug)

Amazon is a terrible place to hunt for toys haha, u may strike it on there for cheap, but will take you a while, honestly I have a hulkbuster IM figures, was lucky enough to trade my 24'' batman figure for him, he's 1 badass figure, and considered 1 of my holy grails. .... to help you out here are some auctions for him cheap.

seen this 1 myself a few times, this is the cheapest I can find him, the auction is for him and some random figures $30, + $5 shipping, not sure if he's got his hoverboard or not,

Marvel Legends HULKBUSTER iRONMAN WOLVERINE SPiDER-MAN VENOM lot | eBay

but there are other auctions, buy it now auctions where he's $40-70 range.

I appreciate it man. Ebay has always left a bad taste in my mouth since selling most of my old G1 TF collection there many years ago (and getting ripped cause I was a dumb kid who didnt know what he was doing)...so these days I steer clear generally. But prehaps its time I try and give it another shot...as that is a great price for HB IM.

As far as Amazon goes your right. Mostly because shipping will get you everytime if you order multiple items there (as each seller has his own rate...understandably).

Very good question that I was going to ask myself. Is it that Venom you recently bought?
