yo I posted that two pages ago

just a guess here, but all the Avengers 3.75" molds already exist, so you have most of the cast done (with small tweaks to reflect minor changes in the costumes) a few alterations to some IM movie series armor and you have an Ultron, and I'm sure they could easily kit bash a Vonstrucker, Scarlet witch, and Quicksilver. It's just too damn easy for them to not do it.

P.S. IF! they do give us a 3.75" AOU line they better damn well not repack the play dough Hulk monstrosity from the first movie! (and give us a Banner!).

well there went all hope of a 3.75 Vision.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

Perhaps they will have a decent MI wave for them. Then again I'm only expecting repacks like another Ultron.

No 3.75 for avengers 2? They really are trying to actively kill this line off aren't they? I have no interest in the 2.5 scale, it doesn't g with anything else I collect. At least with MU/MI there is GI Joe, Star Wars....It's just ideally compatible.

Noob question for you guys, only encountered this recently with MU and especially Star Wars on Ebay.

How are there Asian sellers that have hundreds to a thousand loose figures at decent prices and then have hundreds of each?
Even pretty hard to come by figures at way better prices than elsewhere.

Figured bootlegs but the quality is pretty good on the ones I have gotten so far and indistinguishable from others(mostly SW at this point).

Recently got a Han Solo(who was a harder figure to get) that typically went for $20+ loose for $11 shipped and the guy had already apparently sold 500+ I think.

I'm well aware this isn't the Star Wars thread, but which specific Han Solo did you get?

Thanks,
Someone had multiple(more than 10) Mary Jane figures the other night for about $20 but I decided to wait until morning and apparently all had been sold by then.

Just found Yak yesterday while looking for a cheap Spiderwoman.

Bespin Han, had only ever seen 1 in the store which I bought.
Then when I eventually wanted to get another to try fixing his legs he was typically going for over $20 on Ebay.

Only mention Star Wars in here because its the only thing I have been heavily buying from these kinda sellers.
only been eyeing MU from these sellers recently and so far I have only bought a Psylocke, TRU Black Widow, Spiderman & Spiderwoman.

Thanks dude, It started as polystyrene then sealed with plaster of paris bandages then added sand and stones then painted then added finishing touches like grass and wires.. it looks bad ass with the figures

My general understanding has been that these figures are basically extra runs and QC fails direct from the factory that are sold off in open market auctions by the crate, purchased, and and put up by private sellers on Ebay and the like. look up the term "grey market" for more insight into the legality of the situation. given the way Chinese commerce works these figures are most likely sold as scrap plastic, with some savvy sellers realizing that certain figures are worth more in there current form on the American market, so they simply resell them.

Thanks that actually makes sense.

Tell me again why they started on those 2.5 figures? And why continue the line when those are peg-warming at my area?

Didn't they already get fan backlash from all those 5 POA 4" figs?

because they didn't want to make "in scale" vehicles
instead they cheaped out and made the vehicles smaller therefore had to make smaller figures

imagine a 1/18th scale Milano!
