New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Jackieboy · 03-03-2017, 03:24 AM

yeah ukmu i was thinking i might switch out the limbs again with maestros and paint the torso black and silver seeing as skull and co are all wearing black.he will fit in better.i also have a spare select juggernaut ive been meaning to work on for a cyttorak custom.

I do like the new MK better then the older one.
Are they going to release another Thanos? They've released him a few times already...A single, 2 pack and an SDCC exclusive...

i think they are just using the 2 pack smiley thanos head repainted in the singlecarded colours for the sdcc IG set.

not sure who came up with the original concept,but thanks to them we can now add a decent zola to the ranks.

Cool to know that they will pop in like that. Be easier if painted first though. I had found the recipe from a cat in LA named Missing Link. He had posted on MUcollectorsClub and on figureRealm. I had asked him to make me one but said he wasn't able to and make one myself and share the recipe... it is pretty perfect. Although I've been tweaking it a bit. Been in a box for what feels like forever. Might get him out this weekend and mess about.

You can see his BAF boots in the first pic, trust me gentlemen...they really set it off. Worth it in my opinion.

Here he is with Blastaar parts as well

Tried many combinations to get to the final. I will have to take a current pic with the BAF boots and glove (still need one that is why I've been dragging my feet) and at Christmas the lad got the Spidey line one which we MAY incorporate as well. His arms and legs would look even better than the Thanos (or Blastaar) but you lose knee and elbow articulation. Not a deal breaker to me for Zola, he doesn't need to be dynamically posed to look cool. I'm still up in the air on it.

Also, you could add Thanos (or Blastaar) limbs to the Spidey torso I would image. Looking at all three side by side I don't see why it could work. At least on a "looks" perspective, the physical making it work could be different. How hard can it be? That way you can pick one up in store and add articulation if you want a cheaper option.

I like the Blastaar (or Apocalypse or Maestro) hands as it gives you an "open" option. Again, we have both the BAF torso variants so both work fine. Also we have about three or four half finished versions of our 3.75" Zola working right now. So there are a lot of options available out there. Arnim Zola is so cool.... give him a go everyone. Stay calm, make cool shit and Hail HYDRA.

Man, if it's that easy, HASBRO should get off its lazy butt and make that figure official.

Uky if that didnt look so damn awesome id have you flogged for tearing apart a blastaar.

Don't threaten me with a good time!

Captain Nash · 03-03-2017, 02:17 PM

While out a target this a.m. I found all new Wolverine (or X-23verine as I call her) so I am happy and good again. I'm unsure if the rest of the wave was there, to be honest past her I didn't even pay attention to the wave as no one else caught my attention.

Harbinger · 03-03-2017, 02:24 PM

You find a lady deadpool?

I found her today as well. As I rounded the corner to the aisle where the Marvel figures were I saw two guys leaving with the whole wave they had even just found a lady Deadpool hidden behind some Titan Heroes. I was like well that's that I will go see if they have the latest Star Wars wave instead when I saw two figs left on the peg the first was Iron Man the second was ANAD Wolverine I was stoked and grabbed them both.

MeLikeJinx · 03-04-2017, 03:01 AM

^ X-23 and the new Iron Man are double packed right? That gives me hope. Plus, the new price of 13 bucks probably discourages scalpers or buying multiples of the same fig. Anyway... nice score.

How cool is it that as X-23 makes her big screen debut, we can go into a store (maybe) and find her wolverine figure... there's some cross marketing for this line.
Watched Logan last night... wow great movie.

Got my Guardians and Strange 2pks from HTS, that's the quickest I've ever received an order from them.

BAMF..... just like that the 3.75" sell out in another store. Almost as quickly as it was put out. Yet there were most likely about 25+ 6" figures hanging around with dust on them.

Nice.

redx24 · 03-04-2017, 01:21 PM

LocAL target only had 2 of the new iron man from this wave but put up 2 complete sets of the groot wave for the six inch line at the new higher pricing. So I guessing it'll be awhile before I see the whole set in the wild.

Sithlord1963 · 03-04-2017, 01:32 PM

Kaecilius, slightly tweaked Strange and 90% complete Ancient One! have a custom Mordo and Wong somewhere so just need to scratch together a couple of Zealots and I'm probably done for now!

Considering this is the first Wolvie movie without a line of its own, I guess that's our consolation.

MeLikeJinx · 03-04-2017, 03:59 PM

^ I would have loved a movie version of X-23... they probably would have to have made a new mold though... which means solid piece torso... which would suck.

Jay West · 03-04-2017, 05:33 PM

I think I mentioned how 2 Marvel Infinite Beasts have been clogging my Targets one peg and that a Sandman recently showed up. Today an Ant Man showed up! I've now got 4 old figure going no where keeping me from getting the new wave. Sigh.

Nice.

There were more six inch figures than you could shake a stick at going all the way back to the hobgoblin build a figure wave.
