New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Oscarv · 12-08-2016, 12:50 PM

Seems like a lot of reminiscing on here at the moment. It's going slow for our line, but at least it's still going. I still have nothing but love for it. Still buying, still collecting, getting Pilk to make me customs. This is the current state of my entire collection and work in progress man cave/toy room now that we have finally purchased our own home. It's taking time, but should be something pretty special when all done.

Just got some new acid free bags and was rebagging some figures today. Writing the name on each and having a blast revisiting the figures we all love.

A few stood out to me on this flashback...

Task Master... 23 poa a shield, gun, sword, quiver, bow and a cape! #wow

Nebula... just amazing when you look closer at her. I didn't really appreciate her before. Pure Gold.

Wrecker. What a beastly bulky beefy piece of man cake!

Rogue, they did her right in my opinion.

Machine Man.... I wasn't impressed with the new style, but after giving a good look over with fresh eyes, he is a gem! That face sculpt!?!? About 387% better than his highly articulated and accessory rich 6" ML brother. Seriously, I am digging him now!

Many many others, but these 5 stood out to me today. I still have MANY more to go through and switch over, but the nostalgia was thick today! I remembered why I joined TA and it wasn't to complain about Hasbro!!!! So today, Hasbro... I say thank you.

they didn't really think Hasbro would make every single Marvel character did they???

Haha I'm sure we would have liked Hasbro to do so:P

Hey guys question
What head do y'all think would work well for a custom homecoming Vulture?
Ps gold one costs $60

EZTOYDUDE · 12-11-2016, 01:30 AM

Which one works for Vulture ?

snake5289 · 12-11-2016, 02:24 AM

I'd probably go with the last one.

ukmu · 12-11-2016, 06:32 AM

Those cheap Chap Mei figures have a pilot head that is pretty identical to the movie Vulture that is really close.

Any of those heads would work really in my opinion. I would go.for a head that is easy to find and affordable. By the time.you build him up and set up those awesome wings, any pilot will look the part.

Good luck and we are looking forward to seeing when finished!!

I'm probably just going to try and find that Moon Knight on eBay. Not really interested in the others.

FYI Robot Kingdom is located in Hong Kong.
I wonder when US retailers will get them.

I'm only interested in Lady Deadpool & X-23 maybe Maestro ie the ones that retain all their articulation because they are repaints.

ukmu · 12-11-2016, 03:03 PM

I just got that email from Robot Kingdom and was heading here to post... better late than pregnant.

Horrible case pack ratio. Two Wolverines and two Iron Man figures.... 2011 all over again.

Glad Wolverine is in twos. Can always use more good female custom fodder. I'm only really unsure about Moon Knight, as my knowledge of him is very peripheral, and I just like his more classic look better.

Also, is it just me, or do they tend to really dish out the articulation with the first waves? I mean, there's a good bit of articulation going around here, like this year's first wave.

I would've taken a rerelease of a rarer figure over that second Iron Man, but maybe Wolverine will be common enough to be cheap custom fodder.

Is my understanding that they are going to bring the articulation back to pre downgrade levels. I think hasbro really caught a lot of much deserved backlash over the cuts.

SparHawk · 12-11-2016, 04:22 PM

Any good thoughts on a 'Laura' Head? i was thinking of using the Aurora head
