I thought prices were going to fall off once the line ended.

No I agree. Prices on eBay are through the roof right now..and its all around. Ive been looking for a ROC Roadblock (for Crossbones) and they are overpriced. Hard to grab one when five below had them for $5 at one point..still kicking myself for not getting it.

I NEVER concern myself with ebay prices before an item hits retail. That's all scalpers and people that like to burn money. 9 out of 10 times any "high value" item will come down to a reasonable price and be easy to obtain. Anyone remember Black Widow and the AIM/Hydra agents? Peg warmers now. It doesn't help that MI is not shipping as much as Legends but so far none of the MI figures have been hard to get for retail or less. The trick it making sure you don't miss the window where something is cheap and easy to get.


They old figures you can always find someone selling them off for a fair price if you know where to look and are patient. I've never paid more than $20 for a single MU figure and only ones I've had to pay close to that for were variants like Phasing Vision or Astral Strange (I need to get him again).

[IcantBseriouS]

You want the Retaliation Ultimate Roadblock for Crossbones. Dude the news of a blue/yellow pool is shit. That pool is lame! I may just have to hold off on my cap & widow customs now. lol. I've never seen that Taco Truck go for under $100. Anyone need a deadpool figure & want to split? If anyone needs any Marvel or DC Eaglemoss figurines check out my BST. I need some help getting caught up on my MU.

[Iceman]

What's wrong with the "X-Men" Deadpool? We already have X-Force and plenty of versions of his red suit. What else would be better?

[IcantBseriouS]

This is the stupid character they're going to give us. It's dumb, colors look bad & he was barley in it.


This is what we should get...


And that XMO Deluxe/X-Force Deadpool is a bad figure. He's to big, he always looks down. We need a proper X-Force Pool. The Figure on the right painted in the X-force colors would be badass.

[Iceman]

The X-Force Deadpool is a bit better than the XMO one and he works well enough.


I agree I would prefer one of the Deadpools from that second photo but do we actually know what it looks like yet? Either way it would be better than another Redpool we don't need.

[IcantBseriouS]

TOLD YOU

I seriously just bought a SDCC Destro set to make a 9th Doctor & Chameleon custom. May just sell it now.

The happy family. I knew it was gonna be Kaine-Spider as well.

That is a fine suit. Coulson can have better body now, and that alternate head for Chameleon looks like a good one for Osborn. Shame about Skurge.
Korg is, as we thought, a Thing resculpt.
The New Ant Man looks amazing, and I'll have to buy so many Ant Men of varying sizes when this film comes out. I can't tell if the 3.75" Ant Man has a waist joint under that belt though. The Legends Giant Man is perfect for MU.
The New Legends Wasp I'll also be getting to recreate the Secret Invasion Death of Wasp scene.
The Titan Ultron is a buy aswell.

[ChuckSass]

I think I'm done with 3.75. There were no good figures shown for me. I'll take that fan poll Gamora and Antman and thats it

Then we should be looking at the Legends figures we can pilage for our scale, like Giant Man, Wasp, BAF Hulkbuster & Ultron Prime

[Kernel]

^ I agree, the 6" Giant-Man seems perfect for MU.
I'm just glad we are getting some new figures, I'll probably buy all of these. I need a Miles Spiderman, and the Kain Scarlet Spider makes sense (if I remember right Peter gave that big time suit to Kain in Spider Island storyline). Also have noticed the insane prices for Norman Osborne's head on ebay, so I'm liking that Chameleon figure since I want one of those (I think it is Norm's head?)

Looks more like Sandmans.

Ultron is a disappointing repaint, and no weapons for Korg??

[Kernel]

^Oh... well it's better than no alternate head I suppose.

Funny I saw that Titan Hulkbuster at TRU and Walmart last night and that's the only thing I would use it for MU scale, especially with the 5 POA. At $35 I'll wait for that hulkbuster to go on clearance if at all.

My qns is, what customs/repaints can you see coming out from a Death mask figure?

If the sculpt is intact I would just repaint it. I know exactly what paints to use as I had to do a custom using the Vortious recast.

Meh, still better than Redpool. A shame they used that terrible harness again instead of the X-Force or MU one. And hey, he has an extra head and AIM guns in silver lol.

I got that Destro for cheap a while back just to have a variant Professor X. He looks good in that suit.

[jedirulz123]

And who knows, we may get an SDCC exclusive diamond variant of Emma

[Iceman]

That would be cool. Or even just a variant at retail. They sure like to surprise us with stuff they never previewed and just shows up at retail.

And when was the last time they did that? Aurora and Northstar were meant to be variants, and he just never showed up!

[Iceman]

Umm, Beast and Sandman have variants. Also, several items have shown up for preorder this past year or so that we didn't even know they were making.

Well we knew Beast & Sandman were variant. What's this preorder malarkey of which you speak?

[IcantBseriouS]

Got my Revoltech Minis in the mail today along with Havok. I'm messing around with Wolverine lmk what you think. I wanted to make him look a little thicker so I added Retaliation Roadblock lower arms, Patch Wolverine hands & Avengers Widow wristbands. I was thinking about adding the legs from patch wolverine because they look thicker along with the rubber boot part from x-23 thoughts?

Sounded like you were saying they hadn't done variants in a while.

Surprise retail stuff that wasn't previewed or announced before showing up for preorder? How about that recent Legends 3-pack, for one. Agent Venom, White Boba Fett, MI wave 3 figures like Ant-Man, those MU 2-packs from a couple years ago, and other stuff nit co ing to mind. They just pull this stuff out without us knowing a year in advance. A lot of MU variants didn't get previewed at Comic-Con or Toy Fair. Phasing Vision.

I wish they would just show us everything that is coming and a timeline but they often dont. No Northstar there today and he could be shipping this summer for all we know,

I ordered one of those through a friend for making a Starfire.
They aren't out yet. Once the Kickstarter people get there's then they will put them up on their website.

Are these those new 2 packs?

[IcantBseriouS]

No I'm pretty sure a few Legends pics got mixed up with the MU.

Nay, those are the New Legends figures. The 2 packs are supposed to be Cap & Fury and Widow & Mk 43, 3.75" movie figures.

[kylactus]

so lets do the quick math, we were aware of the bishop/ beast wave what now, about a year ago? and I have still seen nothing at retail.... so I can expect to get my hands on these around the summer of 2017? that sounds about right. still no Skurge or North star!?! I hope that DCU puts out one wonder twin! On a positive note, I'm glad that scarlet spider isn't just a repack, I like the alternate heads with Chameleon.
