New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

skywarrped · 12-26-2013, 11:54 AM

New topic.

It seems that all Targets are clearancing out their Marvel toys (and SW Black 3.75") except for MU. I took some pics with the prices. (Just noticed the IM3 Legends is blurry. It's approx $10-$11.)

So what's the story with that armored Hulk in the new Avengers Infinite line? Is that his Fear Itself look or some sort of Marvel Now look?

I saw Avengers 3.75 on clearance this morning too, and not MU. That makes me confident we'll see maybe more restock into next year and ideally a DPCI reuse into the new AI line.

Yeah, it's Marvel Now. It's designed to protect Banner when he's not the Hulk.

Could someone please post a UPC or picture of the barcode from either of the new cap lines?

Just a heads up Freds had the IM2 line (including the later Armored Avenger figures) for $5.95. Just picked up the Whiplash looking drone. It's pretty awesome.

fosterlager · 12-28-2013, 10:48 AM

That's an amazing score!

snake5289 · 12-28-2013, 11:04 AM

Thanks. It's the first time I've seen some of those Armored Avenger figures. They had the repainted Scuba armor, the clear lava armor, second issued MK5 with the more accurate and mini suitcase, and the one that changes chest plates from MK4 to MK6. Tempted to go back up there for a couple more.

Fred Meyer had half off on MU. Sadly there was only Jubilee and Psylocke left. I got them for cheap custom fodder*

*If you need one or both of these sorry I didn't think it through and I've already got them in a million pieces.

How'd you make the Ant-Man helmet?

MADREVJACK · 12-30-2013, 04:44 AM

I have not seen a North Star figure around, anybody think Hasbro is gonna leave us holding the ball on that figure and just never release it?

Yup. I don't think it's coming out since MU line is done

yup pretty much. we've seen cancelled figures before so this doesnt shock me in the slightest.

Lionheart · 12-30-2013, 08:56 AM

I'd like to hear Hasbro's explanation for not issuing Northstar. He's pictured on the box with Aurora, and he's an essential variant. Have they ever *not* issued a variant that's been pictured?

bmorr · 12-30-2013, 10:09 AM

theyve cancelled many multipacks so far. this might be the first cancelled single carded figure.

redfox · 12-30-2013, 10:57 AM

Rumor has it Northstar may be released in this wave due 3/26/14.

That seems kind of silly to me. I thought it was always assumed that the moment Banner was injured or his life was in jeopardy, he would instantly change into the Hulk and heal from any damage. Unless MN has decided to write that bit out of his bio.

Like in The Avengers when "The Other Guy" spit a bullet out. I love that part, classic Joss Whedon dialogue.

I really wish they'd have left that as the opening of The Incredible Hulk. Start the movie with a literal bang.
