That one is fully articulated. I said less articulated in the original post.

does hydroman count as fully articulated? it uses the cyclops/dd upper body. if not then that. I love the water effect base. really makes him stand out. I probably would have passed had they given him regular legs.

Like, which one do you really like, despite the limitations we got from 2015-onward?

I admitably don't have TOO many of the less articulated figures, but a favorite of mine is Captain Marvel.

Her head is a bit large, sure, but once you get her into the right pose, she just looks good. In fact, I had to borrow this image from a blog review just to illustrate that.

Mine has to be kree soldier so clean and nice

I have never seen a 3.75" Captain Marvel with two perfectly painted eyes... one eye is usually kinda wonky.

Me too but would rather have the green one, believe I know where the head comes from.

That is actually Feral, but yeah, I want a Wolfsbane too.

Stopped at another Target today and got Wolverine, Lady Deadpool and Spiderman. Passed on Moon Knight and multiple Iron Men. Did note that the helmet looks a lot like the Guardsman helmet, which could be good for customs of characters like Cardinal.

CCC.

^ Moon Knight is awesome in hand.

I wish hasbro would make more, passed on the rest of the wave.

Always good to see your pics Uni

snake5289 · 03-12-2017, 02:15 PM

Got my Doctor Strange set and I love it. All the pictures I've seen of Astral Strange looked white so the fact that it's clear is an awesome surprise. Pretty sure it's my first fully translucent figure and man it's so cool looking. Regular Strange's eyes are a little wonky but I think I can fix those pretty easily.

Looking forward to getting the GotG (supposed to be here tomorrow) and Spider-Man sets. Any word on when that one's supposed to drop?

Not a clue, but I do like the look of that spider man.

Loving the FNAF background... I had to pick up a funko 5" nightmare foxy for my son but it feels compatible with my MU stuff.

Did you get your strange pack from HTS? I've seen some bad paint on the eyes online so I'm holding out hope for retail.

snake5289 · 03-13-2017, 01:18 AM

Nah I got it and the GotG set off of eBay but the price was pretty much the same as HTS so it's all good. Haven't seen any sign of them in stores yet though.

I have heard Canada retail got them.

Right between the MOLSON ICE and CURLING STONES!

Sorry, just a bit of Canada bashing. I get asked five times a month if I am Canadian.... the whole accent thing in the UK.

Apparently, if I remember correctly, they sold MU and other figure at some national chain store that sells tyres. A tyre shop that sells figures.... definitely Canadian.

ukmu · 03-13-2017, 07:55 AM

Instead of buying new figures from the new wave... I have started getting some more ULTRON figures. The MU 2 pack version, with the red trim. Just picked up another one.

At least when a wave comes out that I am not in a big need to get any of them, I go back. Fill holes, army build and sometimes just buy some flight stands, regular stands or the odd vehicle or playset.

Where you located Snake? No sign in my neck of the woods, west Texas.
