New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Kamatayan · 07-08-2015, 11:40 PM

If any of you guys are still trying to make 3.75" Chitauri army's from the Avengers movie figures I saw 4 of them at a Kmart near me. I didn't check the prices. They could be $10.00, $5.00, or even next to nothing. If any of you want any I'd be fine with picking some up for a trade.

Kamatayan · 07-08-2015, 11:42 PM

I might have to make a stop by there again tomorrow.

I do like my exclusives very exclusive. The cooler, wilder and rarer the better. I like brand new and never to be used asgain and ridiculous prices and being VERY hard to track down. Makes having them worth the hassle. I am alone in that though, but I like knowing the only way to have a Lady DP is to open a taco up or find one that someone else opened the taco. Maybe i dont care for exclusives at all but really crave opened tacos....breakthrough moment in therepy.

Well this all happened while I slept, so I'll keep my thoughts brief.

No Emma or Skurge yet
Maybe the two Thors & Cap shields are variants?
Lotta randoms like Ulik & Machine Man, instead of main characters we still need
Nice to see their still using older bucks for some like Iron Man & Ulik
Shame about them keeping the lower articulated bucks - Carol, She-Thor, FalCap, etc would have been great with more poseability
Surprised to even see Iron Man, FalCap, & She-Thor while they're still about
Yondu is great, I'll get him to add to my comic versions of Movie Guardians
Is Spidey Noir on a GI Joe buck?
Carol's head looks a bit low, but the head sculpt is great. You'd be lucky to get the masked head aswell
I'll be getting that new Legends 3-Pack Ultron to stand in for Prime
Good to still see Northstar and Colossonaut - NOW JUST RELEASE THEM
They're reusing the Legends Comic Hawkeye head for Matt Murdock, now I might have to do the same with MU
The bloody diorama is Legends. And tiny. Bastards.
5POA Vision was shown again, let's just hope he's actually released
I do need a large Giant Man, the new Legends one is just too small to be giant.

Unknown, it could be those are the stands they used because they had them. Only Lady Thor and Odinson really have comic appearances together. Vance Astro and Sam Wilson Cap don't have any stories together that I'm aware of. Machine Man and Superior Iron Man I'm not sure on. Those might be because they are more recent prototypes too. Those two person stands are the big mold stands, so that also might bode well for more reveals coming up if they grabbed the wrong stands for those figures during setup.

Kinda wondering if we saw all their accessories too. Captain Marvel with a masked head you'd think might be an easy one or future variant. Can't see if Sam Cap has his wings. Noir spidey is missing his hat. Machine Man you'd think would have normal arms too for a swap arm gimmick like what the GI Joe BATS use. Even Superior Iron Man typically has a Tony Stark face.

Makes me excited that we might see more still, and that they might have some surprises for later in the wings still to do!

They can just repack the Stark head from MU, doubt they'd give him wings on top of the shield - too much plastic in one set. I can see Carol having a masked variant like Iron Patriot.

Looking at She-Thor closer, she seems to have thigh swivel, and She-Hulky arms (with new forearms). Could that bode well for a waist swivel?

samsson37 · 07-09-2015, 05:57 AM

misty knight =bad ass i'm pleased if we really get her before 2020
white tiger- random and nice see above comment
cap marvel - nice if she has alternate head
Ulik- a favorite
Caps/falcon and Vance -could be a owner of the shield 2pack
Thors- maybe
Yondu - have to get him to go with Vance
Trident - here comes the inhuman push
Machine man...why not
Northstar.......exactly
Chameleon
So 13 figures for me....So damn them they will still get a big chunk of cash from me if the final results look like this..add in the mass release of Alpine in that GI JOE 3-pack.....yeah I'm broke

Well we'd have been lucky to get White Tiger & Misty Knight in MU, but, huhmm, "in my experience there's no such thing as luck"

kylactus · 07-09-2015, 06:45 AM

I'm thinking maybe were going to see some new secret wars two packs. I wonder where Emma, Krog, and the others that have been announced went? it appears that mutants are once again an endangered species. Scarlet Witch must be running this line now with one directive : NO MORE MUTANTS!

ukmu · 07-09-2015, 06:46 AM

They Muties and Avengers had long and good runs. I think it is time for randomness.

Well impressed by your bulletpoints Jedi!

Also, if i saw another Star Wars quote i was off to find a meme. You wouldn't like me when i am meme hunting.

Thigh swivels, and torso swivels sem to back at least! So yea to that.

I love the idea that those COULD be 2 packs...or, as jedi pointed out, perhaps those COULD be variants? Thor& Thor,Cap shield & Cap shield, MAN as in machine & iron

K Dubious · 07-09-2015, 07:14 AM

I am very optimistic about all the new figs. They look amazing and I can't wait to add them to my lineup. Plus this is the first year that the the New Releases won't just replace customs that I have already made so I am a bit thankful for the randomness of the release.

Ok on to my biggest GRIPE....Hasbro you no longer are giving us a Diorama that is packed with over a hundred figures in favor of Making the Diorama for Legends where you can only showcase 20-30 figures???? Part of the reason I started collecting MU was because the Diorama made the "MARVEL UNIVERSE" look like something that could be displayed and admired as a whole, unless you have an empty warehouse you will never be able to display all the legends from toy-biz to now in one space, they are massive....

Different kind of Tony head. He has a more Havoc or Gambit like mask in that armor where the top of his hair is visible and his face is, but the rest is wrapped in metal. So they'd have to repaint Havoc's head, or go new mold on it entirely.

The shield and wings wouldn't be much plastic, especially if they carry over the wings from his previous figure. Could be an excuse for a variant though too. I much preferred the wing style Avengers Assemble Falcon used anyway. So that might be the better way to go.

Usually you can tell what's Legends and what's MU/I by the elbows and ab crunch. Lady Thor bucks that trend though by using She-Hulk arms it seems, but yeah White Tiger and those are ML pics that got sorted wrong. Though I'm all for them in MU/I if it wasn't a mistake!

As for the other figures. This is preview night, they wanted to eye catch. They still showed Northstar and Rasputin Juggernaut though, so we may not have seen everything yet or everything may not be out yet.

So chill on the whining, and start celebrating that some great figures are still in this line! They literally gave us 3 top demanded characters, haven't even shown the fan vote favorite yet, and tossed in a much fan beloved obscure like Noir Spidey and Machine man. Hasbro is showing us some love, let's not be ungrateful.

Specter · 07-09-2015, 08:02 AM

Dang it, just started a custom Captain Marvel yesterday.
oh well saved me the pain White Tiger would be.

Kraven, Misty Knight, White Tiger, & everyone else in those few pics are Legends.

uberlad · 07-09-2015, 08:43 AM

All of the sinister foes love in six inch scale is starting to get to me. I feel my resolve...weakening.

uberlad · 07-09-2015, 08:47 AM

Maybe my wife won't kill me if I just stick to the Spider-man guys.

That'll never work, come on Hasbro, show some 4 inch love.

jedirulz123 · 07-09-2015, 10:05 AM

UKMU, you have to stop telling everyone that "thigh and waist swivel back for waves 3 & 4". It's back for one figure, and the waist on her is ambiguous. The Iron Men & Ulik are old bucks anyway.
Everyone else is the same, under articulated bodies that Bishop, Black Cat, & Big Time Spider-Man had

Augustus_Cole · 07-09-2015, 10:18 AM

RE: Dr. Strange.

is the 2pack version..and single packed version the same..with the exception of pants color???

Yes I believe they are different shades of Blue as well, but they are identical molds nothing unique to either one

maybe it was just a hair on my glasses!

could have sworn I saw torso swivels on all of them.... my bad.

i think it was the WHITE TIGER and MISTY and others that were mis-posted. Man, I really thought those our scale!! Was crushed when i found out differently.....
