The prices were a bit high in my eyes, but it has been so long that I have priced them out that I guess they were resonable, just glad I already found them for my collection!

My only pick up was Ultimate Cap SDCC 2010

I need details, NOW!

Also, this is really off topic, but I'd like to share a Kickstarter project I'm backing. Just slipping this right.... here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...enturequest-3d

For the love of Vonner, give the newbies a chance!

How can anyone pass on some of the figs there? Lol...sorry K Dub, you know I've got your back bro.

[3233rafael]

Mary Jane, Vision, the 3 spider-man figs and Blade are all a must get no matter what IMO!

[ukmu]

Nice to see such a nice small quality group like that.....

[Psycho Pirate]

I found some Playmation figures that I haven't seen yet and took some in-store pics to compare figure/parts sizes. TLDR - these figures are scaled to about a 5-inch scale. Very few parts can be used. The Vision head might work. I think the Hulk head (not pictured) would work. MODOK will work for some people, others will want him bigger. If you don't mind mostly static figures, then Super Adaptoid and Ultron will look good on your shelf. And that's about it.

As you can see, even the smallest Playmation characters are way bigger than MU's larger sized characters. Vision's super long cape is cool, though.



The Widow head, sadly, is not usable.



These villains look good though...



MODOK is nice, especially if you have an A:EMH shelf.



Falcon's wings are too large to use, IMO.



But the figures aren't big enough to use on with ML figures either.

I prefer the term factory liberated figures.

I don't even like ultron but the base for him is so kick ass I'll probly get him soon

[K Dubious]

Too many to quote so I will share all the details...



So the store posted this pic on FB and he said people were there within an hour with lists. I wanted the X-Force AA and 2010 SDCC Cap (I have AA but I want to keep some stuff on card so now I'm looking for dupes). It took me a couple days to get out there.

AA sold for $50 which was a deal IMO. He wanted $150 for solid vision, $40 for Clear Vision, $80 for Baghead, I Didn't ask on Blade, Cap was $25.

There were others like Black suit Ms Marvel and other HTF stuff, but here is the weird part of the situation...

I love the store as they have really cool things, but they don't put prices on their stuff. Everything is based on recent sold listings from ebay. Now I get that it is one of the best gauges for current prices, but I have price points in my head for most things I want and if I REALLY wanted it I would have already copped it from ebay...

Also he said that even though he bought someone's entire collection the deal was very similar to how he sells, in that he sold the collection almost piece by piece.

[3233rafael]

$150.00 is cheap for solid vision nowadays...

[kylactus]

K dub, you should have just looked it over and said "I'll take it".

[Ninjinister]

Does Hall of Armor Tony share a buck with any other figure? I'm looking for a good "casual t-shirt and jeans/slacks" body but don't wanna pay out the bum.

[Il Cattivo]

damn vision is going for that much? $30 is probably the most I'd ever pay for a 4 inch figure. guess I'll never have him in my collection

I think the upper body is a rise of cobra hawk and the lower is a ROC storm shadow. Some of those joes make for great customs.

How good of a figure are you looking for?
I have a civilians 1:18 guide on my Archive site

Mutt from IJ

Tunnel Rat GI Joe 30th

Jake Sully from Avatar

[mrdecepticon]

Don't get why they just don't bring a new Vision out. Hope they do.

[Ninjinister]

Tunnel Rat might be worthy but I have the Mutt and Jake. They're not the right size for what I'm looking for.

There are about six or more shops less than five miles from my house with them and I live in small town.

We in the U.S wish those were peg-warming here! We still have remains of the Beast wave & earlier here.

I need to consult you guys on a little problem.

My Kang figure has a click up in his diaphragm joint. It doesn't seem to harm anything, and I intitially thought that it was just paint in the joint, so I used some hot water like I always do on joints like this...But it had no effect. My other figures that use the same mold don't have the click, so does anyone know what the deal is?


Another related problem is one he shares with my Commander Steve Rogers figure. I got both loose from the same seller, and they both have a gap in their right thigh. No matter what I do, the problem doesn't seem to correct itself. What should I do?


Also, I'm bringing Doctor Who into this thread again. Sorry, but I've been holding it in.

They are. It was previewed at SDCC. Coming in 2016 and it is a modern version.

[ukmu]

There are four 3.75" figures of The Vision. Unfortunately, the expensive one is the one really worth owning.

He is worth it my opinion. You will NEVER see a finer paint job on an action figure. Also, it is cool having something rare sometimes. If everyone had o e he would be like having an Iron Man. A lot of people have said this.... there are two types of loose collections- those with a solid Vision and those without. I don't know if I prescribe to that mentality, but it has been said. With that, I admit when looking at loose collections I look for him.

@MUfan, should be fine f it clicks. Stop messing with it too much as it.could break because it's a crack. Through normal posing and occasional play should be fine. Like a scab, if you keep picking at you will regret it. Also, I don't know what to do bought thigh gap (sounds naughty) from an articulation view they are necessary it from an aesthetic view they break up.the line of the silhouette. That s why in a way I don't mind the new one not having them...especially the females as it actually limited poses.

Also want to be the first to bring up a blue balls comment on your Kang pic.

Is the Sully figure too short? Shame, but still could make a good civi stand in.

Great great great comparison pic PP. I dig hat Ultron as well. MODOK isn't my cuppa either. The Visions cape is (using the words from Bmorrs area) a wicked pissa. Very cool indeed.

Also K Dub, do ever make the hour drive north to Kokomo Toys?

[ukmu]

Sorry the pics aren't the same size and quality...Was in a hurry and just wanted to put them up.
