HA!!!!

I'm 100% in for next weekend. X-Men perhaps???? Been awhile with them as they are 85% of the group's favourite. We owe a lot to that team for helping Marvel make it through the 90's and the loss of all those mullets everywhere!!!


A final thought from me on Has-Not, I mean Has-Con is I don't even care. They can take away the future but they can't take away our past.

and many more...

Alternatively, we could choose not to waste our money on an event we already know will have nothing for us and instead save it for those independent manufacturers who prove the do want our money by making what we want. Then the only dissatisfied people would be the profit mongers at Hasbro.

Edit: Papo make a nice horse skeleton with saddle. A bit bio-mechanical but that stuff could be removed with a blade rather easily.

*fistbumps ukmu*

yes sir, Papo's warrior skeletal horse fits in well. mine is this fully poseable moose figurine which i simply had it's horns removed

[En Sabah Nut]

let's see... 11x "Hail Hydras" literally doubled the minimum requirement. let me see how do i reciprocate to senders?

done. i shall roll-out a customized piece which a ML collector sold to me due to broken spikes on it's body. not very obvious flaws though, but he was kind enough to drop the price significantly & i sincerely thank him for that. the best thing is... when i compared the comic size it scales exactly with MU size! without peerless exhaust smoke, here is Rulk-Venom-Rider -



please note that i added a Macfarlane Spawn Violator Chopper to it as it fits the figure to a T (plus nothing available comes close in scale to the comic version... yet), plus a pair of wings just for hell-venly fun!

I don't know who that is but you nailed it!!!!
Bravo as always my friend! And for the record, moose have antlers not horns.. Just saying.

Triple post #likeaboss

So that is it huh? Had a feeling, even wrote a speculative piece elsewhere prior to seeing Jay West 's comment. Which leads me to a single, BURNING question......


Jay West, are you related to Kanye?

bro,the man himself "Dave vonner" even said they had enough work through him to last till 2017 and he said that a few years back over on FB.
looks like stall and co are focusing on the moneymaker line!!!
if anyone here is planning on heading to NYCC take note from this guy on how to ask the right questions regarding your line.

frickin love that intro!!!

[Jackieboy]

there is no mention of 3.75 in the video,but dwight does mention the after retail market which indicates that Hasbro are fully aware of how much their product sells for on places like EBAY.

[ukmu]

They will be here in UK in 6 weeks at MGM London. HASBRO and the team of ML goons.

Maybe I will start a GO-FUND-ME campaign to go down there and give them what for!!! That was my son's idea, he said, "start a public fund campaign and raise some dosh dad. Go and find out."

Anyway, I don't believe it is a surprise to anyone. I am sure we will lose about 30% of our die hard collectors. It is inevitable, it is the nature of collecting. They call it that for a reason and not "looking at old crap you already own-ing." So at least eBay prices should tank and we can buy stuff even cheaper. I am sure the customs for cash market will see a short increase but will level out to all but dead by spring, sorry Pilk. I am sure a year from now this thread will be at a crawl like MUCC is now. Maybe a page a week...Maybe. Same will happen here,as signs point to it already on a slow and steady decline.

That isn't to discredit the outstanding members we have now that are active, especially our newer members that contribute so much. So those of you that have been here a few years or more, have definitely seen the older heavyweights either take flight or slow to a trickle of posting. I mean AshRock, raf323, Ursa Prime, Lord Marvel, and several others that were HUGE in this thread back in the day and major contributors to the larger community as a whole, have ALL sold up and moved on. All we have left from those days is Jackie Boy, and he is an asshole! (Just kidding mate, an asshole that I love dearly by the way!) Not to mention the countless others that have downsized to a smaller core collection and are content with a small representation of the former MU glory and no longer post. We few, we happy few. We band of bothers....remain. I mean ALL of this in a happy positive vibe as well, not being a Debbie Downer at all, just pointing out that the writing has been on the wall for a LONG LONG time. I wasn't there at the beginning, but I am damn proud to be here at the end....With you, my friends.

We will join the ranks of GI Joe fans now Marvel 3.75" family. All dressed up and no where to go. Most of us here collect multiple lines, or even other Marvel scales but there are some of us, myself included, that THIS is it. Marvel 3.75" and that is all. I am of the mindset that I am glad it is over as opposed to putting out crap. I dabble a bit in the new Star Wars 5 poa stuff, but this is mostly because it is available and able to "hunt" it down. I could honestly take it or leave it. I have only gotten Old Man Like from Episode 8 and am somewhat on the fence about jumping in and making a commitment to the TIME, MONEY and SPACE the new line will entail. So now, I would rather have nothing than buckshot figures that look good next to the older stuff and towards the end no longer even scaled well either. For me, I am ok...what does it mean to you?

I feel bad for Oscar now. He finally finished his beautiful new room. Filled it up with the one thing he collects. Completes the collection, and now they end it. I know he has armies to build and Pilk is practically his neighbour but still. Which poses the question.... once the "collection" is complete and the factory no longer make them, are we still COLLECTORS or are we something else entirely? This question has been in my head for hours this morning. Can one be a collector and yet not collect anything?

I know you can sit back and admire your hoard, but that seems like more of retirement than active collecting. I mean Sugar Ray Leonard still has money and his memories, but we don't still call him a fighter! So does this make us ex-collectors? This is what I have seriously been contemplating for several hours as I go about my lazy gray Sunday.

What do you guys think.... I am dying to know.

Lastly, I believe with 2018 looming that whole "Marvel 3.75 license was renewed by HASBRO" may be all bullshit. Two things to look at, as stated just today above and many have known this for five years, David Vonner said "they have enough of my work to last until 2017." We have known 2017 was the final year of their contract with pre-Disney Marvel..... Maybe they are playing the long game to get a better deal with the Mouse, or perhaps they stepped aside and have made room for someone else to take over next year. A small subscription based service with one or two figures a month at the highest level of quality, articulation and accessories. Someone big in the independent scene maybe? No box stores, no middle men and $20 per figure (maybe more as the Mouse will want his cut) say $25 for a BAD ASS figure that we the fans can vote on each year???? Maybe, time will tell.
