New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

jedirulz123 · 07-01-2015, 12:30 AM

So I got my order from Vort yesterday, waited since April, and started painting them up. I now know I can't paint eyes for shit.

Anyone willing to take these poor bastards and do them properly?

Jackieboy seeing all those thanos figures reminds me of the thanosi from the infinity abyss storyline.

Anyone get any of those marauder figures or heads? Seems like some good custom fodder:

Marauder Task Force: Heads

would love to see a custom work of the thanosi.

Eyes are hands down the toughest part. The super easy way to get eyes to look legit......eye lids. If you paint a super thin line above the eye and slightly touching the pupil you will be amazed at how well it looks. I personally think they look fine as is, but if you take your time and put that little line above each eye they will be perfect.

No really, they look much worse in real life. That's meant to be Agent May, an Asian woman no less. The eyes are just awful.

I don't think my brush is small enough, and I don't have a steady enough hand for them.

I've got nothing you need except a few bloody ninja swords :/ How about a kidney? They fetch a pretty penny on the black market if you know the right guys...

Got an email this morning saying Ant-Man and his mighty steed will be here Friday.

Trailer for the Rogue Cut of DOFP. Judging by her scream, I think Iceman dies, which means which one is canon for the X-Verse - original or Rogue Cut?

kylactus · 07-01-2015, 09:58 AM

who cares, that whole future never happened anyway right? I think this was just a subplot that showed how the super sentinels get the ability to copy mutants powers (similar to the Wolverine and the X-men cartoon).

Both true, but if I'm gonna go on the X-Men movie Wiki, which version am I gonna get as canon? Ah well, I'll get it to replace the cinematic version and probably watch it once.

Pretty much true but this also means events changed for the timeline on the first three movies and the wolverine flicks too. How much did the proff change or decided he was cool with. I know there at least two meals I would love to erase from my history.

Dang for minute there I thought it was the actual scene:P And this is why I waited to get this movie...

There are a couple of scenes on YT from the Rogue Cut, just sort of minute snippets.

snake5289 · 07-01-2015, 11:24 AM

FINALLY. Feels like I've been waiting ages to pick up DOFP.

deathofthelines · 07-01-2015, 01:30 PM

Picked up my mcu antman and a reaction gizmo. Really thought I'd have to wait longer for antman to show in store. But they had at least 12 boxes on 2 separate display areas. Anyone got a good Paul Rudd stand in head for an unmasked version?

snake5289 · 07-01-2015, 01:33 PM

No but I'm still looking. I find anything I'll be sure to share.

Everything from 1973 on up is different now. Mostly at least. Some events may still be similar. How Rogue and Logan end up at the school might be the only thing that's the same now, but even that is debatable because the surrounding events to it means that mutants were more known in the public by that time and means the entire Senator Kelly story used would be different because they wouldn't be debating that topic in the Senate anymore. At least not in the context they were.

So really, only XMO: Wolverine is still accurate, but only the opening montage from it. So is X-Men First Class since all its events take place prior to 1973. 1973 is the divergence point of the three timelines since it's where Logan went back and events went into motion for the DOFP future to happen, but they also stopped it from happening. Trask and Sentinels that lead to the DOFP apocalyptic future is one timeline(which includes 'The Wolverine'), X1, X2, and X3(though X3 references something like the DOFP sentinel project in the opening Danger Room scene, but that's more an Easter egg than intentional story nod) are another timeline, and then there's the future 'saved' timeline from DOFP. Which is the currently being used one.

X1-3 & DOFP are the same timeline, there's only 2.
First Class, Origins, X1-3, The Wolverine, & DOFP Future are one.
First Class & DOFP Past are the second, with Apocalypse & the 2 minutes Future epilogue where everyone lives.

Haha same here, although I am glad that they announced that there was this version coming out, made me wait instead of buying the first one...are there any special types of packaging versions for this?

Augustus_Cole · 07-01-2015, 02:23 PM

What's Up ?!?!

Can someone tell me some good choices for action figure stands for the 3.75" line of Marvel Universe figs...

..**and where to get them from..**..

thanks!!

True. I was fully prepared to get the Sentinel blueprints version until I read about this one. Sadly no I have not heard of any.

These are the ones I use. They work just fine. I know there are others out there with multiple pegs which are probably a little better

Augustus_Cole · 07-01-2015, 03:24 PM

Thanks man.......Those look good...and will work if i CANT find (like you mentioned) the multi-pegged ones.. I like the multi-pegs because i usually set them up with one character on one peg..and a diff one on the second peg...
Does anyone know of any of the multi-peg ones that actually FIT...

thanks..

I used to use the ones from Entertainment Earth, but the peg was really short, and small, and in several cases, did not fit my MU figures all that well. They worked great on my POTF Star Wars figures though.

The ones I use now are the ones from SmallJoes...they come in both clear and black, have multiple pegs, and blend in well with MU figures that already come with the numbered stands. (like the ones MJ and X-23 are on in the pics...) They also work pretty consistently with most modern Star Wars, G.I.Joe, and most DC Multiverse figures (you have to work them in a bit.) They are priced decently as well, especially if you buy in bulk, as you can pick up about a hundred stands for a little under 20 bucks.

You can find them here. Hope that helps!
