Never said that the neo-nazi was noble, but he is committed to his relationship.

Thank you!
I've always thought hasbro blaming retailers for case packs was an easy way to pass the buck/ a cop out. If they insist on repacking at least do something different, like paint cap like "the captain" or us agent... Cap wolf head, make IM a GOTG suit... Anything to make it appeal to collectors and kids.
I will say though these last 2 waves have been really good, I can't really tell the difference in the plastic. Red she hulks buttery soft leg hardened up after a few days.

Today is Canada day, so do with that what you will. I'm sure we can make some funny pictures with Wolverine, Deadpool, Alpha Flight, etc.

I would really like if they repainted the repack cap into the Bucky Heroic Age costume, any seconds?

I actually really like the captain america movie line bucky cap. Well articulated, no rocker ankles or hinged neck but other than that (and the odd shield it comes with) it isn't bad.

We have thick skin due to the 13 months of yearly snow, so do your worst! Lol

Happy Canada Day to our American and international friends as well, drop by some time!

Agreed, just so sad that the card is so crappy:P

[skywarrped]

Red She Hulk, Whirlwind and Death's Head only $10.99 on Amazon Here. Only a couple left of each.

Edit: Eric Masterson Thor as well.

Hank Pym beat his wife

'Beat' is a little heavy. I believe for it to be a beating it has to be sustained. Not even sure 'hit' would be the right term, since I think that requires a closed fist. 'Struck' is about right.

Quote:

As far as I remember, Cap have been a little bit racist toward "japs",

Not sure if that counts as 'racist', considering the Japs at the time were killing millions of Chinese civilians for partially racial reasons, and they then did the same to many other races (including Caucasians) when they undertook expanding the 'Greater East Asian Prosperity Sphere'. So the racism is at least partly based on a justifiable distaste for actual actions the Japs were carrying out at the time.

Quote:

BP is a dick though

Yeah... but Janet is annoying.

Seriously; if anyone read Jim Shooters blog, he said that Hank was never meant to hit Janet. The story was ambiguously worded or something, and the artist put him back-handing her. Jim was shocked when he saw it. So in reality, as far as the writers of Avengers go - Hank didn't physically assault Janet.

Quote:

It's funny then that one of the more healthy relationships is between villains Crossbones and Sin. There are some examples of working marriages in the hero community like Black Bolt and Medusa. Rocket Raccoon and Groot, now there's some bromance.

My fave was always Titania and Absorbing Man.

Great wave... but when will they actually hit the UK?! I ordered from Forbidden Planet (ugh...) and even though wave 3 has come out in the US, we're still waiting for 2 and 3 over here! Hurry up!

[En Sabah Nerd]

I fell like saying, if the new Thor had still come with Throg as originally indicated then I would've picked it up just for the amphibian.

Throg would've been 4 of 6 (Ms Lion, Lockheed, and Redwing already made), and then Niels the cat and Lockjaw would round out the team, alas no.

I have my wasp but not sure if I want sell her or put her in my collection

Cheers....

Well said on ALL of that Lionheart. To answer your question as to when will we see them here in the UK, I think two to maybe three months after never sounds about right. Next time let me know, I ordered with a group of guys (including Bmorr) and we got them at below retail price and before anyone else did. Plus you can pick and choose who you want....no case or half bullshit. Got 5 from wave 3, all but Omega Red, for £31 shipped. He isn't doing wave 4 though, as all anyone wants is Ionic WonderMan and he would get stuck holding about 43 sets of single carded Guardians....

@MostWanted... keep her. From what I hear no one can move her hardly now. Some people have picked her up in the wild to offer on the boards to fellow members at cost and still zero takers. The ones on eBay that go on "auction" and not "buy it now" go for as low as $6 I have seen. You could try the Marvel toy groups on Facebook though, those guys are both cut throat toy dealers and thirsty collectors. Not much love there. That said, you can move stuff there, but it can be sketchy... I envision it like the Mos Eisly Cantina in my mind. You will never meet a more wretched hive of scrum and villainy. All joking aside... open her up and keep her. She is a fun character, and now that Ant Man is finally here, you have the final two pieces to the Avengers founders. You just started collecting this year and we have waited (some as long as) up to five years for these two that have both just shown up in the past few months. One in just the past 10 days!!!! So you should keep her. She is a KEY character, as important as Professor Xavier to the X-Men. Different roles, but a vital member in the roster all the same.

So far my favorite MI figure, I'd say definitely keep her and add her to your set up. My figure's wings were tough at first, but after a day or so they loosened and now have full motion.

Do you guys use antman or yellow jacket with Wasp?
I was going think using her as trade but I might keep her
Which TV show was better earths mightiest heroes or the assemble show if I wanted to watch an avengers animated

[ukmu]

Earths Mightiest Heroes is on of the BEST shows, never mind animated, ever!!!! I put it up there with Seinfeld and Breaking Bad in my top five of all time. My son and I would watch it every Saturday morning and it is what got us (heavily) into collecting really. Still to this day we stay Avengers focused on the collection and, I will say ours is as good as ANY Avengers 3.75" collection out there. Even have the final Giant Man baf piece in the post, Ant Man in the post, Valkyrie in the post,Ares in the post and even SHS Beast in the post as we speak all heading to us!!!! By next week our Avengers are.... ASSEMBLED! Just a few common figures and Starfox left. If you include our S.H.I.E.L.D. army with them, it is pretty impressive. Trying to get each character in AVENGERS ENCYCLOPEDIA (forgot it's real name) that Hasbro has made so far. We even have customs of Moondragon, Jocasta and Tigra all in the works for this summer,just need a few more parts. With some e and money, we will get them done. Have a few commissions for trades for drawings as well on offer, just hammering out the details for Hellcat and Jack Of Hearts. Mainly silver age characters, nothing too modern really.

I will be able to FINALLY post some better pics up before July is over and then I am photo bombing this thread daily!!!!

Thanks. I did not take any WIP pics on Valinor this time. The holes are basically slots cut to match the width of the wing "blade." One one side, the slot is right next to a depression for a screw hole (hey now!) giving it a keyhole appearance. But the other side is just a slot.

For Aragorn, it is much easier. A simple hole the size of Angel's wing peg:

The easiest way to watch it is Netflix or animeflavor.com, both have both full seasons. the problem with the dvds is they dont go in the order of how the show progressed. it goes by theme. What I mean is certain topics where hinted to, then left alone until later. the dvd's just find all the shows and puts them together. Netflix is in my opinion the best spot to watch it in the order of apperance. On this site we dont speak the filthy words (Avengers Assemble) when talking animation. That show besides showing some characters that havent been seen in this medium is the worst.Voices are off and Im sick of them trying to make everyone snarky and witty like the movies, its sooooo forced. There bickering and banter makes the characters on Ultimate Spiderman seem like 50 year olds. Actually in order of shows that sux ..Hulk agents of Smash, Avengers Assemble and Then Ultimate Spiderman( tho Im actually one of the few that likes USM)

Not sure about the blueray, you would have to compare the the list on wiki to the one on netflix
