New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Yes, I love that design! Now if they only actually made it green...

They kind-of used it for the Assemblers. But it's too bad they made them so sub-par. Still bought them though.

That said...,He is nothing close to the original. Nothing can match MU Visions paint. Also this guy is on the new standard Buck. If anything, MU version will rise a bit, because those that waited for an update will be disappointed. Similar to what happened to Beast last summer. The SHS is even harder to come by while the MI version peg warms HARD! They don't even sell on ChinaBay for under a fiver shipped that Beast.

This one gives us 4 versions. Standard, Phasing, Cinematic, and New. Even with the options, I don't foresee the standard dropping any value. He is an awesome addition to those that have him. Any of the others will do just fine though.

Cool thanks for the info guys. I had the phasing one too and it's ok. Would have been cool if they did the white version of him in this size.

First Class Jean Grey is a yellow base figure. You just have to remove her color scheme.

In the proper coloring he could look like he overpower and nuking out.

I think he went sorta translucent in the WWH comics where he was so pissed that gamma was radiating out of his mouth and making him look translucent.

Just got the Emma wave in today from HTS. Thought id give a small review of them. I'm kinda sour on this wave so let me give my honest thoughts:

Emma: Can hardly stand up. The cape and heels are terrible for posing. Falls down constantly. Be careful when using her in a dio. She will fall constantly.

Juggernaut: Nothing really wrong with him. solid figure all around. a couple years too late past Juggolosus' brief time in the comics

Korg: A clever use for the Thing mold but has terrible articulation

Northstar: Happy to have another member of Alpha Flight. For some reason they gave him elf ears. just why.

chameleon: only looks good if you dont pose him. His jacket hampers this leg movement completely. Step down from the professor x body.

Deadpool: Comes with a holster that doesnt come with anything to holster. dont try to take off the head and put on the other one. the neck will develop stress marks after the first try.

Overall, its a mediocre boring wave.

Just take the really expensive solid vision and paint him white.
I always cringe when I look at old cistoms that were made of insanely expensive figures.

When researching older customs for ideas I've seen so many rare figures used for insanely poor customs.

Likewise. I've no desire for Colossonaut, but I kind of want to troop build Korg so I can have a bunch of "Stone Men from Saturn."

K Dubious · 12-11-2015, 08:09 AM

Just ordered the new wave from HTS

HOLIDAYFF took almost $20 off my order so I got them for $10.43 each shipped!

And this make yet another MI wave that I will not be hunting for in stores since HTS always seems to undercut retail prices. I'm happy I will not be scrambling to find an Emma or Northstar they were the only must haves in my eyes

I should get mine today, but as a MOSC in this line this is the advantage of not having to worry about that stuff, although the no card art sucks!

And that's what I love about HTS so far with the infinite line I've been getting all of them from there and below retail too.
