New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Very nice, Oscarv! Loving Pilkster customs

Oscarv · 04-13-2016, 10:54 AM

He is a good guy, great work, and is slowly reducing the shelf space in my collection figure by figure! Haha.

ukmu · 04-13-2016, 11:49 AM

Thanks for bringing up Goldtron again.....
I don't know half of those custies Oscar. In the good ole days (last week) you'd label them and add a reference pic. (Doing the typing in my Eyore voice).... guess I'm not really worth the bother anymore.

Also planning a big photo session on Saturday. Fingers crossed! When I.do pull them all out and playset and vehicles I'm like....umm what now? This time I've been jotting down ideas in a notebook.

@MadameWarlock, it is pretty sad to give us the comic included featuring Falcap doing aerial acrobatics with the Cap shield and wings but feature a action figure without it.

Edit: and that Unworthy Thor fig, doesn't have the metal arm and sports a sh*t-eating grin while he's supposed to be in the most depressed state of his comic existence.

Because Hasbro didn't make Unworthy Thor. It's young Thor from a story from a few years ago. It was before he was worthy to hold the hammer. Not sure how all that got crossed up, but pictures from that storyline are exactly this figure. And Thor was kinda portrayed as a d-bag spoiled brat so that is why he was the grin. He even wore an animal skin over his shoulder like the figure.Here's a pic:

Speaking of Thor, Odonson should adopt a look like Ultimate Thor. It's a much better look than his current male stripper look.

Oscarv · 04-13-2016, 03:10 PM

Jaywest, that certainly clears things up about him being an older version of unworthy Thor! Nice one man

It looks like Goldbug got it from a LCS? If I'm wrong please let us know where you got it from!

Well the head is different, personally I highly dislike her fauxhawk mask.

That's it eh...

LordMudd · 04-13-2016, 05:00 PM

I need at least 2 of those Kree packs. I would like 5 Kree to face my 5 Skrull, but want a Captain Atlas for my Dr. Minerva too. At least 1 Carol will be custom into the original version of Moonstone II.

CCC.

I think gold bug posted on another thread that someone found that pack at a toy show in Brazil or something like that.

Omanlew · 04-13-2016, 06:34 PM

I wish they would put the same themes in the 3.75 line as the 6 inch. Aside from Black Panther, Jane Thor and Iron Spidey. I could care less about all of the new 2016 figures. They finally put out a Rogue but it's a terrible design, they release 2 Captain Marvels, always the dumb Iron Man variations and a majority of the 2016 lines contain figures that are known. The Infinite line was a let down and it seems this is going down the same path. Why can't they give fans the characters people desire and enjoy reading about.

Yeah. Her outfit is perfect without that mask.

ukmu · 04-13-2016, 06:57 PM

@_Omanlew...I have two major figures off my list with Rage and Living Laser.

We have an illustrated encyclopedia of Avengers and trying to get everyone in it. I like the obscure characters. Most people love new Iron Man figures for their armoury too. Only have one solitary IM figure myself.

I get where you're coming from though.

Yeah, Gold Bugs pic look like a toy show to me.

@Jay- you win the internet today.
@Oscar- cheers, all is right in the world again.
@Mudd- Whirlwind makes a nice Kree base. Decal and heads from Pilkington and done deal. When the Kree guys come out on C-Bay they will go for a lot. Most everyone wants at least 3- 20 of them.
@Sabah- I am not fan of pretty much any modern look, but the faux hawk looks like a cheap wrestler that does a circuit of high school gymnasiums and parking lots at the local Legion.

Agreed, the design of the suit is an appropriate homage to the original Mar-Vell but is still its own thing. It's also less revealing than her previous costumes which makes sense given the whole taking on the mantle of one of the universe's greatest heroes deal.

Too many new designs sport a bunch of unnecessary lines that just over-complicate the look but some are still okay. Cheap wrestler really does about sums up her new mask.

Damn he really does. Definitely gonna need to get my hands on 2 of them so one can become red skull

Universe · 04-13-2016, 10:35 PM

I'm looking forward to getting the civil war Giantman

snake5289 · 04-13-2016, 10:53 PM

Nice. And Scott would definitely punch a Skrull in the dick.

Oscarv · 04-13-2016, 11:40 PM

Excellent! I wasn't going to do a movie "ant man to giant man" transformation in figures.... But I think I will now

Primacron · 04-14-2016, 01:16 AM

^^ Awesome!

Many things need to be in the movies. This is why I was soooooo disappointed with DoFP. The best XMen scene I ever saw in a comic was Kitty's first walk across the Danger Room, with her eyes closed, and all of the Xmen in the booth ROTFLTAO. THAT NEEEEEEEDS to be filmed sooooooooo bad, and they blew chunks just to kiss @$$ to wolverine fans.

CCC.
