3: ultimate Goblin, hulk body, new head
4: marvel Now: Cyclopes, jim lee cyke body, new head
5: 90's Cable: Hercules body, cable head

You know, when it comes to Marvel figs I'm pretty easy to please man. If you give me a new figure regardless of who it is or a nice variant with different colors I'll be happy. Hope this MI line does that. So far in my opinion, packing bad but figures good.

As you can see from all the quotes (and there's many more quotes posted on this thread believe me) VISION is a very interesting topic to say the least... But why???

The answer to my question is why not??? So I humbly ask you...
WHY???

Yes, I want to know exactly why do you want it, why?? I want to know what VISION means to you, I want to know what your (MOC or Loose) collection is like without VISION? I want to humbly (don't be shy) know what you economic situation is? I want to know how hard it is for you to get VISION? ETC... Be creative, but most importantly, be honest!

Think about it, think hard. I will give you until Saturday, April 12, 2014 to tell me by either posting you answer here in these thread (which I prefer) or PM me your answer as a last resort but don't be shy to post it on this thread my friends!

I promise you I will read every post very carefully and when I am done, I will choose the best one of them all (there is no right or wrong answer my friends, be yourself and speak the truth) and the chosen one will be rewarded dearly...

Yes, the winner will get a brand spanking new Marvel Universe 3.75' Non-variant, original, number 006, series 2 VISION figure... FREE!!!
Why you ask? Because I freaking feel like it that's why! (plus I have 3, LMAO). Consider this your X-Mas in July (or in this case late March, Lol)

TWO RULES: 1) It is open to current TOYARK Members ONLY. No new TOYARK Members, (sorry, it's only fair). Only current existing member (and I know who you are). 2) If you already have one don't be that guy or gal and try to get another one. Help your ARKERS out and don't participate if you already have one please (and I know who's who because I read older posts my friends).

And here is your MOC VISION!...

New page contest reminder. Enter to win, no purchase necessary... Lol

3233rafael, what you're doing is really cool, but is it possible to make a forum just for that so this forum doesn't get too cluttered. Good job though, proud of you.

salsa4datass · 03-30-2014, 12:00 AM

still no infinite figures over in CT.
as for the vision figure. I'm not going to get all fancy and creative but I guess I can give my little mu story a try. I started collecting mu after buying a figure lot off ebay for $30 which contained a hobgoblin in it. I quickly ripped it open and gave it to my son. I then decided to play with it for haha's and I really liked the figure. I then went to walmart and found original havoc and variant arcangel and I haven't stopped since. sadly, getting into the game so late I never saw vision out in the wild. now here's why i need him, he is one of several figs (1st punisher, blade, variant iron patriot, skrull variant name plate, long hair winter soldier, baghead spidey, miles spidey, original vision, etc.) that i don't own. since I'm a moc collector i honestly can't afford him or some of the others. (thus why i still haven't sent you the funds for the set we talked about a while back but i'll pm you later on that) so in all honesty, he would only fill in a small gap and help with my ocd of not having every figure...

ukmu · 03-30-2014, 01:37 AM

your the man raf...

Jimmyo · 03-30-2014, 02:33 AM

Great chance for people to grab an awesome figure and a Fantastic gesture.

We already have one but just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity for others who have not been able to find one

ukmu · 03-30-2014, 03:44 AM

that is Awesome Jimmy that you and Scar got yours... Blaze and I have had to sell his.

He was nice while we had him. We are not really gonna enter Raf's comp as at least we have held his awesomeness!!!
Be sure to send our love to Mrs. JimmyO this day!!! (Mums day in the UK)

Never heard of it either

Wolvie... I always give you and Shawn Woodbeck credit for being the ones that "opened my eyes" and showed me all those rare variants!

Thanks and sorry bro. I leave it up to the mods on Monday if they want to move it but I think it's a great topic plus I'm on subject with Vision being a MU 3.75 figure.

bmorr · 03-30-2014, 05:04 AM

Haha oh man. Why do I want Vision? So I can complete my classic Avengers. what stands in my way is his absurd rarity. That and I have just about every figure.

Lol, no of course not but I don't count him because he has been cancelled and won't be released.

kylactus · 03-30-2014, 07:27 AM

his pic is on the package so somewhere out there at least one...
I wonder if any of the Chinese sellers on ebay could shoot out a couple sneak them out the back door and hook us up?

Until I physically see him I won't believe it. By the way, every figure on the list of MU I posted I have seen in person including LC WTT and BW B. I held them in my hands once but the collector did not want to let them go at any price.

Iceman · 03-30-2014, 09:54 AM

Didn't we see pictures of Northstar on display at SDCC or am I imagining that?

ChuckSass · 03-30-2014, 10:19 AM

I want a vision so I can use him as a pawn to finally get a bag man spider-man

… it's real life.

honestly i am so happy I got a Moonstone ms Marvel when I did. I got her for 20 bucks with Jean Grey, the seller was oblivious to her worth

Oh you're so right, I forgot about him. I have not seen him in person but yes in pictures.
