Wait, Ock's tentacles are actually poseable? Are they bendy wired?

Kernel · 05-31-2015, 09:41 PM

They are posable. They have swivels at the middle and can swivel at the base and are actually pretty good. I think shanna, doc ock, miles spidey are the winners in this wave. Armored DD is ok. thunderstrike is pretty crappy and so is vulture.

(especially since Hasbro invented the damn thing) you get an opportunity to have compatibility between some of the biggest toy lines in history like Star Wars and GI joe, without any licensing or legal bull shit. all I'm saying is I think Hasbro has put to many eggs in the legends basket, the area I live in is not the best for toy hunting, that said right now I could drive to two walmarts and pick up the entire Hobgoblin, Oden, Groot, and Avengers waves still! yet the one case of MI which was the Wonderman wave has sold out at one of those walmarts! which blows my mind considering it was mostly Guardians repacks and the GOTG box set collected dust on the clearance rack for almost two years, but what ever people are dumb as hell some times.

That's true. I guess "bring back vonner" just sounds a lot better than "fire dwight stall" lol. I try to stay positive and do not wish ill will on anyone, but I am very passionate about this line and I don't like what's happening to it. If they cut any more corners I'll be out of this line.

Doc Ock has definitely got some interesting parts re-usages going on.

Arms from Star Lord. Legs from Absorbing man.

His head, torso, and hands plus the tentacles all look like new tooling though.

It looks like his hands are just the same as Zemo or Kang.

That could be. I never got either of those.

It gives me a jolly good laugh I have to say.

i dont think they truly understood how frugal parents can be when it comes to kids. collectors are a different story. they are not gonna pay 20 dollars for a fig that will most likely break. the turtles sell like gangbusters because of price and durability. I cant wait for the panel discussions come SDCC where these people will most likely get bombarded by comments like these.

as far as the house in the background its the World Peace keepers headquarters it can normally be found around xmas time. It goes for about $40

kostej · 06-01-2015, 08:11 AM

Just to remind:
SDCC 2014 Infinity Gauntlet exclusive set was announced May 22
SDCC 2013 Taco Truck exclusive set was announced Jun 6
SDCC 2012 Masters of Evil set was announced Jun 6

It seems that exclusive set for this year is going to be announced this week.

Edit: We already speculated that the exclusive set would probably include labcoat Hank Pym, but as we know, SDCC sets are usually quite big with multiple figures. So what is your guess? My bet is Hank Pym + Ultron prototype + various lab equipment.

Zend · 06-01-2015, 08:48 AM

Those that wanted the upcoming Legends Ant-Man wave for the Giant Man figure and the movie Ant-Man

Toys"R"Us/Babies"R"Us

samsson37 · 06-01-2015, 08:48 AM

A Giantman figure and his nemesis ......Egghead.. !!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Nash · 06-01-2015, 08:58 AM

It's not what I want, but I suspect it will be an All New All Different Avengers set. If it's not then it will be next year almost for sure. Other than I maybe an Ant-Man or GOTG related set. The GOTG was not released in time for SDCC last year so while the hope was it would be profitable, they could not predict the level of success it had and thus, would have to wait a year to release for this year's SDCC.

HOORAAY finally got a release date for Ant-Man stuff.

kostej · 06-01-2015, 02:36 PM

FYI Doc Ock and company available at Hasbro Toy Shop right now.

Zend · 06-01-2015, 02:52 PM

No discount codes atm, i'll get them later. Not like Doc Ock and Vulture are going away any time soon, and i'll get Miles from Dorkside soon

Thanks Greg, the house is the world peacekeepers battle command post. I highly recommend it.
As for doc pusses arms, they are zemos and have ball jointed shoulders, bicep swivel, single hinge elbow, and swivel and hinge wrists, I don't mind the lack of torso articulation as it seems to make him more stable, he can hold and bitch slap spidey without falling.

Amazon.com: Bruder Toys Linde H30D fork Lift with Pallet: Toys & Games
Amazon.com: Bruder Bworld Logistics Set with Man: Toys & Games

As for me, I just finished to redo my display and wanted to share with you... unfortunately I don't have as much space as you have, as I'm just allowed to put my toys in my "man area" by the strongest cosmic being of the house: la wife!

Anyway, the pics:

The details:

(Arctic Storm Shadow is supposed to be a loosy Fantomex)

These big Hydra goons are actually holding each other as they have a very bad balance)

When I watch these pics, I realize that a lot of them falled on the backgroud

Also, I wanted to thank the Toyark community and all the Arkers who helped me build this collection through the BST thread. WIthout you, I couldn't have make it!!

Is one of your sentinels blacked out his coloring looks totally different than the other

wolverine2281 · 06-01-2015, 07:29 PM

it hasn't been unlocked yet
LOL

kylactus · 06-01-2015, 07:47 PM

so if Hot Toys put out a comic Ant Man/ Giant Man, to coincide with the Ant Man movie, who here would buy it for a huge Giant Man to display with your MU/MI figures?

It wouldn't really be huge, just 12" or so which would be shorter than the Sentinels and it would be expensive as get out just for a large display piece to go with MU and it would be even more if they made it one of their "legendary" scale statues or whatever they call 'em.

samsson37 · 06-02-2015, 10:07 AM

As everyone knows my goal is to have most if not all the baddies that appeared on EMH...So I give the new star of Netflix...The Purpleman

Special thanks to KDub for the paint job. YOU KNOW YOU LIKE HIM ..HE'LL MAKE YOU !!!
