New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

mikefavata · 05-29-2013, 11:23 AM

Man, I kind of want that upgraded Iron Fist for my Heroic Age New Avengers. The first one has those weird Human torch arms with the open hands.

And there's no better combination than Detolf + Smalljoes APEX Tier + Smalljoes Clear 4-peg stands.

Hi everyone!

Got me some new 3.75 figs thanks to some special offers I found on the french Ebay.
I bought the Giantman Skrull+cap set for 37Euros (45-ish $$) and, I couldn't belive my eyes, Deadpool for 6 Euros (8$$). This is actually the comic version of the old Wolverine movie, and I think the seller just wanted to get rid of them since he sold a bunch of Wolverines as well. (and knowing Hasbro, I'm sure movie DP is the same fig than the MU one, right?)

I've also been in Tokyo for 2 weeks for the work, but unfortunatley, I didn't find any good deals there. The Yen/$ ratio is weak now, and except for the Inhumans set I bought 3000Y (30$) on AmazonJP, average MU figs, but not average price (cheapest ones were 15$). Found an Iron Monger from IronMan2 but the price was around 30$ so I let it go as well.

Saw this on BBTS, some revision wave this will clog up pegs so bad:P 2012 Marvel 3.75" Greatest Battles Comic 2-Packs - Wave 02 Revision 08 - Case of 8 - Marvel Figures (Hasbro) 2012-2013 Marvel Greatest Battles

fosterlager · 05-29-2013, 02:42 PM

The two-packs this year are horrible

mikefavata · 05-29-2013, 03:11 PM

Yeah, unless there's an announcement at SDCC I don't think we'll see another new Comic Pack for a very long time.

Agree, the only good ones were the TRU ones that I don't think were announced at last year's SDCC, although I don't remember. Other then that yes very very bad. I wonder if this kills retail in having them order the single MU's seeing that the 2 packs won't move.

salsa4datass · 05-29-2013, 03:39 PM

why would those be considered revisions? weren't those actually the last comic 2-pack wave released? well besides the spider-man/capt. Britain and iron man/thor...
if they were smart (which they're not) they should re-release dark wolverine/dark spiderman, taskmaster/deadpool, thor/enchantress, etc...

Thanks, didn't know where to start... reading the 4 Nova themed issues of Annihilation (2006) right now.

EDIT: His new armor is so much better than his old armor. LOL.

His headscuplt looks a lot better than I thought it would from the promo pics. Was gonna do an instant headswap with Commander Rogers head... but now I'm not so sure.

salsa4datass · 05-29-2013, 07:13 PM

^ looking at them side-by-side he actually looks way better than the older releases...

kylactus · 05-29-2013, 07:28 PM

what was up with the X-men Vs Avengers TRU 2 packs? they gave us issues 1 and 4? I would have bet money on getting 2 more to complete the series, like secret wars.
there was a lot of potential for some cool classic re-paints there. just ordered some Age of Ultron back issues. dose anyone have a pic of wolverines new costume with the mask up? I'm trying to make a custom. Walmart needs to give us a Wolverine/unmasked Hank Pym giant battles pack. STAT!!

Rattrap Primal · 05-29-2013, 08:51 PM

It's a revision because it has the same assortment number on the box, but the contents of the case itself have changed. Sometimes that means that the ratio is altered to allow for new figures to be added to the case. Other times it simply means altering the case ratio. For example, instead of 5 of comic pack A and 3 of comic pack B in a case of 8, the revision could have 4 of A and 4 of B.

Yeah the way I read through was like this
Annihilation
Annihilation Conquest
Nova books
War of Kings
Reign of Kings
Thanos Imperative

Its a lot to read but it will definitely get you more into the galaxy characters.

Yup that's what I thought too. I wasn't too jazzed when they showed pics of this cap but after having him in hand for $7 from the chinese seller, its great. Still not a fan of the flared boots but I've learned to accept it.

This is bad... almost finished reading Nova's Annihilation issues... and I really want a Quasar now. LOL. I kinda even feel like maybe getting the MU Drax now too... which I didn't think was even humanly possible for me to feel. LOL.

I cannot remember where, but I remember somebody made an awesome Custom MU Quasar with the starry cape and everything... man that fig was cool.

Maybe I should stop reading before I want more stuff. Haha.

decepticon_mark · 05-30-2013, 04:43 PM

The $9.99 ones all have nice articulation. It's the $5.99 all-stars or whatever with the 5 POA.

I want the Leader from Wave 2!

We need a lot more than that. Where's Banshee (Sean Cassidy)? Come on Hasbro let us make the International X-men.

Female villains are bit thin too.

mikefavata · 05-30-2013, 07:52 PM

A Heroic Age Lady Avengers 3 pack would make a great con exclusive and finish a LOT of teams.

Maria Hill (HA Avengers)
Sharon Carter (HA Secret Avengers)
Victoria Hand or Jessica Jones (HA New Avengers)
