New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Snowflakian · 06-02-2015, 11:45 AM

You bring up an interesting point on an easy custom.

Tenant Doctor Who figures could easily be made into MCU Purple man.

But erm, Destro in Rise Of Cobra was portrayed by Eccleston.

samsson37 · 06-02-2015, 12:56 PM

LOL...I was just referring to PURPLEMAN as the star.not the actor. But you make a very excellent point if you want the correct actor. and most Dr Who figures are in some kind of suit..WAAAAAY cheaper than the Rise of Cobra figure

Jay West · 06-02-2015, 03:46 PM

Dr. Who figures are True 3.75 I believe. I could go with it is Tennant is actually short in real life. Yes I'm that OCD.

He's not short, he's 6'1", a fair bit taller than Stark, and only an inch shorter than Thor.

samsson37 · 06-02-2015, 04:26 PM

I'll stick with mine lol

kylactus · 06-02-2015, 04:59 PM

^I would, that paint job looks awesome man, how much is that 1940's gangster Destro go for though? that's one expensive piece.

samsson37 · 06-02-2015, 05:38 PM

I got lucky. I watched for like 3 months this one guy had it on eBay. And it was outrageous in price and slowly he dropped it and I was checking one day and it was $25 buy now free shipping ...so guess what I did !!! lol

kylactus · 06-02-2015, 06:19 PM

^ damn that's a steal! there at least 60 everywhere I've looked. looking at the set on ebay I think I might try to get the Mccullen IX figures head for a "raggedy" Logan from the beginning of The Wolverine.

samsson37 · 06-02-2015, 07:17 PM

Yeah ..his mistake was he was trying to sell the one fig instead of the two pack for a high price. I think he just got impatient. Not that I'm complaining lol

Captain Nash · 06-02-2015, 07:24 PM

Snagged the wave 2 figures on Amazon @ $12.99 each - an acceptable price for me given free shipping - due to arrive next week. Still not really excited but I did get Vulture, Doc Ock and 2 Shanna (one to be part of a Viper one to keep as Shanna).

Ready to bring on Emma, please.

Yes actually this was my first BAF Sentinel. I bought it on Ebay UK from a guy who customized it and didn't want it anymore so I got it for a nice price. Since it's black and the paint quality is good, it goes as the leader of my squad (I have 3 more but don't have the space to display all of them yet).

Maybe the best thing I've seen on the interwebs today.

I promised pictures from a haul a couple of months ago, but I've finally gotten round to painting up my customs, but some pics are a bit crap.
If anyone wants recipes I'd gladly share, but my kitbashes are pretty obvious really.

Nice customs jedirulz123!

Found an extra Falcon today so whipped this up - still undecided on the AoU inspired chest piece

samsson37 · 06-03-2015, 03:23 PM

Hey Jed I'm digging the Norman and Victoria...Quake is sweet also. Is that the actual Norman head ?

It is indeed, best not piss about when we've got the pieces. I stuck the IM3 Iron Patriots head on the MU one to replace Osborns. It gives the Patriot an angry, villain look to it.
I've decided to have Sam Rockwell Justin Hammer as the guy in the Patriot, with Osborn in a suit on his glider with a shotgun.

Popped into Target to get the new pup a harness and leash so I made a stop in the toy isle on the way. The usual Cap/Bleeding Edge IM/Grim Reaper/Hyperion clutter they always have was still there but they had a lone Big Time Spidey on the rack and I've gotta say it looked like crap. Seemed more like a fancy Happy Meal toy than a $10 action figure...oh wait I'm sorry a $13 action figure.

Tell me about it, I had every intention of getting that figure...until I saw it in person

Can someone that has all of Wave 2 snap a pic of Miles wearing Thunderstrike's vest if it's removeable?
