New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

ukmu · 08-05-2016, 10:39 AM

The little they did show have a wonderful and broad appeal. They are all very good for very different reasons and a lot of people will be NEEDING pieces differently for their collection.

On the whole I would give the SDCC show crop a 8.5 out of 10... That is VERY generous considered I don't want/need most and articulation is still down. For all their mistakes I will applaud HASBRO for at least appearing to care. While we were still left out of the big party, at least I feel we weren't ignored this year.

I totally agree man

Recently got a astral Dr Strange figure and I have to say I think it's a really nice figure in hand. I turned it down twice and saw it in OscarVs collection recently and had to have it. Highly recommended to everyone

I'd give my spare virginity for an Astral form Doctor Strange.

Completely new sculpt using the newer figure standards, and because of not having ab-crunch on the new standard, this vision sculpt stands much cleaner and less hunched over because of his cape. Comes across as a much more unified and sturdy figure.

The original was a little too 70s avengers for me, and then how that original mold hunches over didn't help much.

Sooooo I have pretty good knowledge of the more obscure Marvel characters, but there are still some that I see in action figure form, but can't name at times. What's the best character guide to the Marvel Universe?

Exodus · 08-05-2016, 02:29 PM

HTS has the Spider-Man 2 pack up.

I use the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Deluxe Edition. It is a bit dated now but I like that I get 3 views of each character so I have all details for customizing.

CCC.

I wish Hasbro would rerelease this clear shield. I don't want to spend $79+ on only ONE shield that I actually like.

kellerw1025 · 08-05-2016, 04:11 PM

So I'm new here and I was just wondering how do I post pictures

You upload your pictures onto an image sharing site like photobucket or flickr (I believe the site rules page here has a list of acceptable photo hosting sites) and then get the url (usually from right-clicking and choosing "view image") to paste into the "Insert Image" function here on the site.

kellerw1025 · 08-05-2016, 04:59 PM

Thanks so much guys really appreciate it

Universe · 08-05-2016, 05:07 PM

Morbius seems the weakest, may kitbash him for more articulation:

Vort can make that in clear. Then you only need clear red & blue paint.

I use Upload A Photo - CtrlV.in Image Hosting which is extremely easy to use! No need to sign up for one of those sites.

Well, it'd probably be easier to get that shield. Just cast a movie version shield in clear, and color in the lines with paint.

Hmm...I wonder if clear paint exists...

I spy with my little eye an SDCC exclusive that I really need to get my hands on eventually.

Which I also think is from a cancelled Spider-man 4 line.
