New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

I gotta say, this holiday season is actually alright out here. Went by TRU outlet in Commerce and they had a bunch of team packs that were not just the GOTG pakc. Two FF team packs with the clear Sue variant (picked one up), both Avengers team packs too.

And then Target out here is doing 6.99 for MU figures and for the first time in ages, I'm seeing actual stuff on the shelves. Scarlet Spider, Black suit Spidey, the Beast wave, and other random stuff from the last case. Picked up a few holes I had (AOT Thor, IM 2020, black suit Spidey), and I hope another trip will yield a few more good results.

Yeah, I just picked up Beta Ray Bill and Kraven from Target today for $6.99 a piece. But the standard price is $11.99?! What the hell? In this day and age when $9.99 makes most of us waffle over picking something up, why in Godzilla's name would they bump it up $2 over the rest?

Just like I did with Baghead and will eventually with X-Force Warpath, Solid Vision....

You can get a loose Silver X-force Warpath on ebay for cheap these days. I think people overlook them because of the 3-pack version out there, but i saw one go without bids the other day for like 11 bucks.

Thanks, yeah I did buy a loose one cheap a while back, but I'm looking for a MOSC for my sealed collection. The sealed ones are still going for $30+ on ebay.

That's funny, I sold it to you. It was an extra that I acquired in a lot that I bought.

Putting this here too because it looks like both MU and ML figures were used.

Action Figure Remake Of 90's X-Men Cartoon Opening | Geekologie

Amazing!

Symbiote · 12-20-2012, 05:02 PM

That's sweet. It's my mu dream to have all 90s x men completed. That damn showdown beast is sooo expensive on evilbay.

Greenskar · 12-20-2012, 05:11 PM

Was that a showdown beast on the video or a Legends beast?

spade · 12-20-2012, 08:15 PM

That video was incredible.

salsa4datass · 12-20-2012, 09:07 PM

i think the whole video was ml's...
but thanks for the share...

No Jubilee was the MU figure, so was Jean Grey and Cyclops, pretty sure Professor X too.

Jubilee was a custom. Some parts look MU, some don't depending on which scene.
Jean Grey's MU figure had a brief snippet about 4 seconds maybe(that hair is unmistakable, but at other points it was a different figure, need to rewatch to make sure).
Professor X was the Toybiz 90s one from the X-Men animated line. (5 inch)
And beast was Legends and possibly his showdown one, but more likely legends.

The shots where they are all in scale they are all legends, the seperate shots are mostly legends with maybe Jean thrown in from MU. Jubes I'm unsure of as the shots varied too much and it's her 90s outfit that has no MU figure yet.

The Sentinel is definitely the MU masterpiece one though.

Symbiote · 12-22-2012, 11:52 AM

Been awhile since I've posted some pics of MU. Here we go.

Love the new Indestructible Hulk story so far. Good issue. Iron Man latest armor. Easy movie repaint.

Sentinels!!!

Marvel2Death · 12-22-2012, 01:32 PM

Really nice pics, Symbiote! Really love seeing those Sentinels in action, they look so menacing over the MU figures! And, so jealous of Zemo figure! Hopefully, one day when I have the funds and the luck of my LCBS stocking it, the 3 pack that includes him will be in my hands! Love the IM (Black/Gold)! Saw those same colors an IM fig a couple of times, but you pulled it off better than that one! The suit and your color patter blends like ying and yang, man! Keep up the nice pic, bro!

Meangreen · 12-22-2012, 02:05 PM

Does anyone know if the Solid Vision has ever, or is planned to be, re-released?

montressor · 12-22-2012, 03:19 PM

kudos symbiote. your setup is epic. I wish I had started when you had, made your salary, had your ambition.
