all of this talk made me want to updated my collection site. I even finally separated Deadpool from the Marvel section. He needs his own section right?

Thanks Zend, I think I'll stop by my local Tuesday morning and snag one of those legends klaws. I did not sculpt those just repainted the heads. I'll have to pick up some epoxy someday and give it a try.
Also think I may bite the bullet and get the new wave from BBTS. I was gonna wait for HTS or retail, but I've heard HTS will raise the price to $13 anyways.

Good, I found the obvious two (reverse art) @ retail but the shield variants I got off eBay but from sellers who didn't know what they had cause I must have paid 8 and 10 bucks each.

[3233rafael]

^ And of course I found out about them through your web page otherwise I'd be lost right now.

It was a toss up between Ultron, and Tony & Bruce. Tony was too drunk and Bruce is in Fiji X'D

You need him for the Sinister Six dude

[Autobot_Goldbug]

You also have to take some dio pictures of him vs Spidey Preferably in a sandbox!

See collecting variants like those make me think there is some kind of OCD going on.

Really we have enough members spread across the Spidey 3.75 line and the MUI, so we don't need Sandman, new Doc Ock, or Vulture to round out a Sinister Six

[deathofthelines]

Has a vulture been released yet? I know I'll have to sell blood to get a shocker fig.

It depends on which SINISTER SIX you want...
Original Sinister Six[edit]
After suffering three defeats in a row from Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus contacts every known supervillain that had crossed paths with Spider-Man. Only Vulture, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, and Sandman respond. As none of the members are willing to relinquish the honor of killing Spider-Man themselves, they decide to challenge Spider-Man individually, with the order in which they face him determined by random drawing. The Sinister Six kidnap Daily Bugle secretary Betty Brant and Aunt May, holding them hostage in order to force Spider-Man to confront them. Spider-Man defeats the Sinister Six one-by-one, mocking their decision to battle him individually instead of as a team.[2]

I just realized we're on page 616! Yay.

[deathofthelines]

Lol. While I love the 616 universe 1610 brought me back to Marvel after giving up on comics for almost a decade.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I've grown to hate the Ultimate universe. It has the worst comic event I can think of (damn you Ultimatum!), it did a lot of things for shock factor (including the ruining of one of my favorite characters, the Scarlet Witch, by making her incestuous), and they completely took away the threat of Thanos. Oh yeah and Galactus was just a swarm of space locusts or something. There were some good reads in the books but the overall feel of the universe just seemed like it was going for a totally different type of comic which would have suited all new characters better instead of butchering new renditions of classic characters.

Yes a lot of that did suck but at the time it felt different at least. I gave up comics in the 90s because it all just felt the same at least to me. I just felt like I was buying the same stories I already read or that I needed to buy into six other books just to get a complete story. Ultimate u has many problems but before ultimatum ultimates,xmen and the ff were fantastic reads. Again just personal opinion not looking to convert anyone.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I will agree that Ultimate books were a fun jump in point prior to Ultimatum.

The '90s were kind of a mess with too much going on. The industry exploded and then collapsed under its own weight. As much as I like him, Onslaught is a pretty strong indicator of how bad things were getting. That they had to resort to this (almost) truly unstoppable force to outdo what had been done before shows desperation. There are some gems of the '90s like the Infinity Gauntlet, but there are also things like the clone saga.

[samsson37]

I thought we all agreed it is forbidden to mention the Clone Saga or One more day lol....

[kylactus]

I ride the fence on the ultimate universe, I didn't care for the "shock" factors and political statements, (gay Colossus, black Spidey, incestuous QU & SW, black Nick Fury, cannibal Hulk, and blob, wolverines son.. with the exact same powers as him, The fact that the villains always seem to win, and the constant Walking Deadish theme of anyone can die at any moment, just for the shock value. not to mention the crazy implausibility that a tidal wave could wipe out most of the X-men and heroes in NYC in one shot, (I mean Night crawler drowned in a subway!?! did he forget he could teleport?). but that said, a lot of the early ultimate X-men and spiderman stories were awesome and well written, I mostly regarded the whole ultimate universe as an ongoing "what if" series.

Ha ha I'm actually reading revelations (the end of the clone saga) right now and I agree, ultimatum was a hot mess. I just picked up the new secret wars (issue 1 and 2 and battleworld that came with a free map). I wonder how they are gonna reconile earth 616 with ultimate, OML, AoU, etc. I actually like the black nick fury jr, but I liked the old one too.
