Four? You countin' the upcoming one? All I know is solid, phasing, and movie.

Yep, that is the fourth pic.

About on par Big Time Spidey it looks. So we are once again left with the choice of ante up for the MU or settle for less (movie, MI, variant or none) To each their own, at least we do have options now. Not great options but a year ago it was an expensive investment figure or get the variant of that figure..... now we have a 5 poa choice and an upcoming 7 (maybe 9 if he has ankles) poa set of figures to choose from. I believe Hasbro will be shutting the books on this character in this scale.

Maybe I'm an idiot but I thought the upcoming Vision was his white version.

BTW your movie Vision pic isn't 3.75.

It has been over a year since I made it to Kokomo. The store I was referring to is kind of halfway between me and Kokomo. I want to get back there, but the issue is I'm kinda all taken care of on the things I collect. Of course I am always looking for something, but my wants list has almost completely dried up.

Right now the only thing on my needs list is Yellow/Blue Goliath giant battles (not SDCC) plus the latest MI Wave that is Peg-Warming in the UK....still nada on the stateside.

...Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama,
Key Largo, Montego
Baby why don't we go,
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down in Kokomo...

Any ideas for my next MU hunt? I've already gotten all of the Greatest Battle stuff that I want, I have Galactus, Anti-Venom, and the Masters of Evil.

ukmu · 11-24-2015, 09:43 AM

Try army building. It is a wonderful way to waste money and never feel satisfied.

I will try to find you some K Dub. Been out today on the hunt. Got two First ORder Stormtroopers to go with Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma. Getting the boy some Dark Side figures for Christmas and a few older MU Spidey baddies. Oh, and I got mama ukmu a Nutri-Ninja for 60% off today.

It is a bitter sweet feeling when you finish a want list. I have finished most of the armies and most of the lists as well. Guess I could get into gambling or crack. So, at least I got that going for me.

Hunting TFA SW figures for Christmas is fun but now I got two Stormies that too is over.

When I lived on Maui there is a road called Kokomo that travels upcountry. You could always tell a tourist as they Kokomo, like the Beach Boy song. In Hawaiian it is Ka-Kooh-Mo with the emphasis in the middle. That is my only Kokomo story. I also once sat across WWF wrestler Koko B. Ware on a plane.

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.

That's a great price for AA for sure...surprise he didn't want it for 100, price must have dropped on him on Ebay then if that's how he's price gauging. Hopefully it was someone's actual entire collection and not a stolen one. Been seeing stories of people's entire collection being stolen.

Doctor Who figures are dwarfed by MU figures. I have a Ten waiting to become a Purple Man with a 12 body, but they really are too small. And the Avatar wheelchair barely fits the midget Sully.

The Doctor Who figures are big enough to be cheated in stop motion, so I think the fact that he's in a wheelchair will help hide it. 12 is also relatively cheap to get, so he'd be good base for a suit if he wasn't so short.

ukmu · 11-24-2015, 02:20 PM

1st quarter Madame.... late February to early April, going off years pasts anyway. Basically in springtime.

Taoboa first (usually without accessories)
45 days later Chinabay (first without accessories, then a few weeks later with accessories)
45 days later online retailers
45 days later in stores (if your area even gets them)

This is at least the recipe of prior waves. Should be the same but who knows.

The recent Legends 3 pack had white Vision, it looks really cool in hand but being 6" it has no place on this thread unless someone is roughly recreating the cover to WCA 45.

I'm actually looking forward to the upcoming MI Vision. I like the Jonas design and pose be damned I need a Vision in my setup.

I did that. My justification is he is a little guy (even thoughTennant isn't). Some people are jut small. Killgrave is just a little dude to me

Well of course the 6" one doesn't but I really could have sworn the white one was coming to 3.75". Must be getting senile.

I remember seeing some retailer codes for Rogue in a wave later this year though. Probably a re-release.

I will be so upset if we're not getting her. She goes for ridiculous prices and we're getting no mutants next year.
