that was my submission haha.

For me, the main reason I want Vision is because he has always been one of my favorite Avengers. I read my dad's comic books when I was in middle and elementary school, and he was always one of the most interesting. Now, I've mostly stopped purchasing new figures, as I am a struggling student with no money, and I am always saddened that there is no one to fill the gap between Hawkeye and Black Panther, and Ultron is still crying over his missing child.

Thank you, copied both of your answers.

wolverine2281 · 03-30-2014, 04:27 PM

Thank Raph

That Blade I believe is only a proto pic and I've never seen one like that actually released. Northstar I believe they are going to try and work in to the Infinite series

Yeah, you're probably right cause I've never seen one in person. Hey, do you have the numbers for the two series 2 # 008 (glossy/matte) Caps?

K Dubious · 03-30-2014, 05:19 PM

Just finished Hope so I put her with my custom Strong Guy and Bishop

Sabre · 03-30-2014, 05:24 PM

Hi there. Hope I'm doing this right. I love all toys but I'm pretty much only ever on here for the marvel toys. Anyway, I've seen some random acts of kindness before but this is downright awesome of you regardless who gets it. As far as my economic life is concerned.. . well I really don't have one. 5 years ago I had a botched hernia operation that changed my life forever. I currently cannot work and am hoping my disability claim goes through. I've been working since I was 16 and I'm 30 now so its very hard to accept anything other than me working hard but its left me fairly immobile unfortunately. As for vision.......funny enough I have nearly every other hero of the 3,75 in scale. I mostly get em as birthday/Christmas presents. That and comics are my greatest hobbies because I can enjoy them from bed. What can I say about vision? Obviously from a collectors standpoint, it would be wonderful to put him next to scarlet witch where he belongs. I love vision. I love his look, his character and to some degree I feel like I know him. As crazy as that sounds, vision always seemed like a man trapped in a synthetic body regardless if he's an android. Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in my own body. Comicwise, I even read the dreaded "avengers A.I. which had so much potential but ended up not being a great book. I still read it though because my favorite android is in it. Dunno what else to say really. It would truly be a wonderful thing if this happened for me so I thank you in advance for taking the time to do this for anyone lucky enough to get one. Paying it forward is the best way to live. If you have any questions or anything feel free to email me at justinsaraz@gmail.com.com

Thank you again

I know we were talking about missing Alpha Flight members, I'm just waiting on Northstar...

I've got them at home. When I get time I would like to add the stamps to my database as well

No one seems to have her. I went to fred meyer today there were only 2 IM and one cap left, just happy someone bought 1of each of those.

Can't wait for winter soldier, haven't seen it yet but I wouldn't be surprised if maybe Redford is red skull, as the new red skull fig says "cinematic universe" and not "comic series".

Those are some great customs dubious! Specially hope and bishop!

3: ultimate Goblin, hulk body, new head
4: marvel Now: Cyclopes, jim lee cyke body, new head
5: 90's Cable: Hercules body, cable head

Call me crazy but I wouldn't mind seeing Evolution Wolverine,

Same basic body with slightly modified headscult, generic lower legs only new part would be the knee cap.

I would really want a tygra.
My #1 want would be spiral. Old or new female buck, white haired sue storm head (or any) with removeable silver samurai helmet. The sheer novelty of a 6 armed hot chick samurai would be great at retail. We got a longshot why not spiral?

Thanks for the praise I really am new to the customizing game, but I'm jumping in feet first. I started with just regular acrylic paint from wal-mart now I'm actually airbrushing everything (no brush strokes) and doing detail work with citadel paints from games workshop.

The head is actually from the toybiz 5 inch Strong Guy and so is the gun arm I used for Random some parts can be made to work for our scale.

As you can see from all the quotes (and there's many more quotes posted on this thread believe me) VISION is a very interesting topic to say the least... But why???

The answer to my question is why not??? So I humbly ask you...
WHY???

Yes, I want to know exactly why do you want it, why?? I want to know what VISION means to you, I want to know what your (MOC or Loose) collection is like without VISION? I want to humbly (don't be shy) know what you economic situation is? I want to know how hard it is for you to get VISION? ETC... Be creative, but most importantly, be honest!

Think about it, think hard. I will give you until Saturday, April 12, 2014 to tell me by either posting you answer here in these thread (which I prefer) or PM me your answer as a last resort but don't be shy to post it on this thread my friends!

I promise you I will read every post very carefully and when I am done, I will choose the best one of them all (there is no right or wrong answer my friends, be yourself and speak the truth) and the chosen one will be rewarded dearly...

Yes, the winner will get a brand spanking new Marvel Universe 3.75' Non-variant, original, number 006, series 2 VISION figure... FREE!!!
Why you ask? Because I freaking feel like it that's why! (plus I have 3, LMAO). Consider this your X-Mas in July (or in this case late March, Lol)

TWO RULES: 1) It is open to current TOYARK Members ONLY. No new TOYARK Members, (sorry, it's only fair). Only current existing member (and I know who you are). 2) If you already have one don't be that guy or gal and try to get another one. Help your ARKERS out and don't participate if you already have one please (and I know who's who because I read older posts my friends).

And here is your MOC VISION!...

I'm sure the moderator's may do something...

Agreed, bad enough the card, plastic and art are so poorly done

wait until you guys see the film... it has MANY plot twists. Will keep you guessing for sure! BEST comic movie that I have ever seen! That is my synical critic side talking not just being a fanboy......

I really really really want an AGENT COULSON. As well as TYGRA and at number three...ANT-MAN. Four, I guess it is a long shot, but JACOSTA and rounding out my top five at the final slot.... A proper 90's BEAST. I think we will see most of those... doubtful on JACOSTA

I hope the MODERATORS allow the VISION comp to continue...in fact, they should contact our sponsors and offer a small runner-up prize. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!

But, no good deed goes unpunished.

How long until we get Wolverine and Spiderman repacks in the MI line? O am happy as long as we get 3 new characters each wave, two most wanted types and one darkhorse figure. aND IF THEY START DOING THE 12 PACK REVISION CASES with AL the figures in them.... I think they will do us proud! Come on Hasbro.... youcan be AWESOME with this line if you try!!!!

samsson37 · 03-31-2014, 06:07 AM

Question... Has anyone tried putting the head of the Avengers Assemble (sniper bow) Hawkeye on one of the regular Hawkeye bodies ? does it work and got any pics ?

Lionheart · 03-31-2014, 09:00 AM

That SDCC Northstar looks lame! Jimmyo's was better...

Amen brother! If do see a single quicksilver, they will probably change it up some. I just hope the case packs get better 4 new figs to a case sucks.

ukmu · 03-31-2014, 10:53 AM

maybe a green quicksilver

SilverCenturion · 03-31-2014, 11:16 AM

Just got this guy in the mail!!! More pics soon!!!!

zim · 03-31-2014, 11:24 AM

okay so we all know that mi is releasing at target under the mu dpci number but is there anyone who has actually bought mi at target can verify that the number is the same on their receipt?
