Yeah,did not notice this till you pointed it out and yeah came like that - have not opened it.

bmorr · 10-12-2013, 05:10 AM

hoping to find a leader figure today. if i dont find it, i'll probably be asking you guys to help me. Shoot, i had an easier time finding the new MU than it has been finding him.

I will see if I can find one! I want that MOC Dagger!

Captain Taiga · 10-12-2013, 01:11 PM

I dunno how the distribution of Thor figures is gonna be this time but other than stuff that was rare like Sif, I didn't have trouble finding anything. Is the Dark Elf a really good figure? Cuz I've passed it up like 3 or 4 times now I think.. its one per case but I guess no one knows if its gonna stay that way huh? I feel like if a Sif figure comes out with the articulation they have now, it'll just make the older one more wanted haha. I hope they make another Heimdall tho. I never found the first one

decepticon_mark · 10-12-2013, 02:47 PM

Wish I could find elves but with no TRU Ive bout given up. Dagger and A Bomb arent as hard to find. I passed on them today. course I already had both but another Dagger would make for a good classic Dazzler.

You can't imagine how jealous I am. I have not seen any of those in the wild and only saw Abomination and Cloak one time. I rely on etailers to get my figures, otherwise I'd have none.

I did find a King Loki and King Laufey at 5Below today for $4 each. I'm surprised these are still showing up.

Captain Taiga · 10-12-2013, 06:36 PM

Never found King Loki, Laufey, or Heimdall. I did find a Sif for 3.99 at some store that usually has nothing but last airbender figures haha

BEAM · 10-12-2013, 07:03 PM

This is the second time I foung Loki and Laufey, both at 5Below. It's amazing how much articulation is in these figures yet Marvel claimed Thor: Dark World figures to be the most articulated of any movie line.

I never saw a Heimdall. I would have gladly grabbed him. Sif alluded me as well.

I keep passing on Hogun and Volstagg at 5Below. Only saw Fandral once and passed (regretfully).

KingKal · 10-12-2013, 09:16 PM

Is anyone still hunting for a Heimdall, King Loki, or King Laughy ? I had put some up a while a go for trade, but no one ever showed any interest. I've seen them at out of the way stores again but always passed.

Iceman · 10-12-2013, 10:33 PM

All of those guys were everywhere up here. I passed on them for like $5 a bunch of times.

What do you mean you moved it? Just heated it up and pushed it back in or do those arms actually pop out of the socket?

I myself would have given you the cost plus shipping for those and i'm sure a bunch of others would do the same. so if you see them again, please think of us fellow arkers...

ProfessorHov · 10-12-2013, 11:34 PM

I need a king Loki and laffy

I popped the arm right out of the body by heating the shoulder and upper torso with a hair drier. Then to reinsert, I used the hair drier to heat up the torso only. I got the shoulder pin to sit a little deeper now.

I have interest in Heimdal but I'm in the US on the opposite coast. Shipping cost is a little too prohibitive to make a trade.

I didn't you know you could do that. I just assumed the female body was a disc joint like all the male ones. I had a sonic storm Iron Man where the right elbow was sitting a little out of the joint and once I pulled it out and then put it back in it sat normal. Don't know why that happens.

I agree, those invasion frost giants had way better articulation than the new kurse figure. Was the Hasbro marketing team fakin it till they make it? After picking up some of the new gi joes and browsing my local Wally World today I'm pretty disappointed the direction hasbro seems to be going with marvel. The pic of that new winter soldier figure and his spring loaded weapon that he couldn't even hold up was so bad it was funny.

Goldengreg · 10-14-2013, 05:07 AM

Frost Giants are great figs, and I'm happy I could army build them to a reasonable price.
They can take so much poses it's very easy to display them being smacked down by heroes.

Captain Taiga · 10-14-2013, 05:29 PM

Finally ordered the Amazon Hall of Armor. Hope my Tony Stark has good eyes..

mindmeldx · 10-15-2013, 09:56 AM

I don't have pics but I ordered the Cloak & Dagger "2-Pack" from TRU last week. I got my order today And let me be the first to say to those who said TRU messed up and it's only Cloak, Y'all were right. I didn't have him yet so I don't really want to return him so I'm at least going to try and get shipping refunded. $7.99 shipping for one figure????? And it came in an ENVELOPE! No extra padding. The card and blister are of course damaged.

I can't say I wasn't warned. But I'm still pissed.
