New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Talk around the internet is Cloak and Abomination will be the more in demand figures an Dagger and Abomb will be more plentiful. I don't quite buy into that theory. I've seen more remnants of Cloak/Abomination wave than Dagger. Plus, TRU in my area seems to restock more frequently than Targets.

Kernel · 10-15-2013, 10:22 AM

^ I've been reading that too. I still haven't seem abomination or cloak at retail, but this stuff disappears quick in my area. I'm wondering how they are gonna get aurora and northstar out since a bomb and dagger were in the revision case and I don't think they have a "revision" wave after the omega red wave?

I don't get why people think that. Yes, in the past most variants ship first and then change to the normal version like with Absorbing Man or Cable but the case pack for those was exactly the same. In this case A-Bomb/Dagger are shipping with repackage of Colossians and Warpath instead of Gray Hulk and Ghost Rider. The last variant we had was Blastaar and both versions shipped in the same case. Bag Head was a year ago and shipped mostly in revision cases if I remember, similar to what we are seeing right now but in smaller numbers (maybe). When was the last time we saw a running change variant? Miles Morales I think and that was like a year and a half ago. Hasbro did say at Comic-Con that they were changing the way variants would be dealt with and we've already seen that a bit. They really should have put Cloak and Dagger in the same cases though. And with Alpha flight being one per case it seems they really messed that up. Clearly these guys were thought up as comic packs.

Okay so I just got off the phone with TRU customer service and as we were talking she noticed there were more calls coming in about the same situation (cloak and Dagger deal). She said they would reship the order for free in hopes I would get both figures and let me keep the one I already got. Then a couple minutes later she came back and said that she couldn't do that because they've pulled them from the warehouse shelves because the mistake was recognized. In the end she said they would refund half the money I paid. Sucks I didn't get Dagger but at least I get half a refund.

She was very nice and helpful. Please, when those of you who ordered call TRU, please be kind and respectful as it's not the call center employee's fault.

That's why as much as I'll miss the MU series, kind of glad they're going away with them. Unless of course the new Avengers stuff that takes over they'll do the same variant crap as well. Although I most likely won't be getting them, but we'll wait and see how they actually look.

ProfessorHov · 10-15-2013, 12:04 PM

i have not seen cloak or abomination in any targets or tru in hollywood, north hollywood, or anywhere in Los Angeles. i have though found dagger and abomb 3 times. i am glad i least ordered cloak and abomination from big bad. you can find cloak anywhere online though, i think abomination is the hard to get one now.

One of the best things about finally getting my own office again at work... I can get some Marvel figure appreciation done everyday. =)

salsa4datass · 10-15-2013, 06:24 PM

Just picked a west coast avengers 3 pack from BBTS for only 16.99? Still a bit since I only want the 1 figure but better $30 retail. Also 3 retaliation Alley Vipers for $8 a piece. First time buying from these guys, hopefully I'm not disappointed.

Sucks bro. You've had that happen to you a couple of times (nova, scarlett witch). If you don't want it, I'd take that broken jubilee off your hands.

Pretty good fellas. I got married a week ago and I'm currently on my honeymoon. I'm pretty much caught up on the latest mu wave with the variants. Bbts just shipped my avengers assemble wave 2 preorder. So I got that waiting for me when I get home. I'll be hunting for the thor 2 figs when I get back though.

Symbiote · 10-16-2013, 12:17 AM

Also its been awhile but here are some shots to entertain you fellas

Goldengreg · 10-16-2013, 12:50 AM

Great pics, Symbiotes, I love the rendering of cotton for the mist!
I had the same idea for a display with Ultron and Ravage but I don't own Ravage

Hopefully his price decrease on ebay....

MADREVJACK · 10-16-2013, 05:29 AM

Cool. I love how Mysterio was the one to bring Wolvie down. Granted, a super-villian community 'powered up' version of Mysterio, but still.

You need to add a bunch of x men lying around in this pic.

I like it when they give the spotlight to the b rated characters. Rick Remender loves to that too.

Joeysmash24 · 10-16-2013, 12:34 PM

Symbiote.. Which GI joe Buck did you use for that blonsky? It's magnificent..

Captain Taiga · 10-16-2013, 07:49 PM

It looks like one of the pursuit of cobra Snake Eyes that I have. The one that came with all kinds of guns and the wolf Timber. Makes me wanna dig mine up and buy a Blonski too

You're right thanks!! I'm just wondering how he fashioned the head to fit the body, the blonsky figure doesn't have a head that fits a peg. It seems the head and neck are one solid piece. Symbiote would you be so kind??

Yup its that snake eyes. The one that comes with timber. I bought a blondsky from a chinese seller sino dolls I think. Then I had to cut off the neck portion and dremelled a hole for the peg to sit in. Hope this helps.
