New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

I just picked up the last Death's Head on Amazon for $10.99. Price is back up to $20. Keep a look out because I'm sure it will change again sometime in the near future.

That's because lil' Luther Manning (or Michael Collins) ate all his vegetables just like he was told and grew up big n' strong.

Why do they keep changing Deathlok? Apparently he's now a franchise! Luther Manning FTW! I'll probably even break out some light green paint when mine gets here.

Luther is the original and will remain my favorite (he's the one that gets the Megadeth song), but Michael Collins started in 1990 when Deathlok got his own regular series. Technically anyone can become a Deathlok (see the reality where everyone does), it's the AI of Deathlok that usually defines the character. Luther Manning was just the best because he was an angsty human fused with a loving empathetic AI.

On transformers I use future floor polish but these figures how do I separate lower leg from foot

Psycho Pirate · 06-24-2014, 09:06 PM

Heat them up with a hair dryer. The plastic becomes softer and the feet can be carefully removed.

Great collection Nex!!! Also AntMan can't have antennae... choking hazard under the new toy laws. 100% impossible for them to add. Blame congress, not Hasbro..... stupid choking babies!!!!! You can add toothpicks with points cut and trimmed down to size with finger nail clippers and anything that will go round and harden (even play-doh) them paint silver to match or even a silver sharpie. Hasbro did leave holes there for us adults to do just that. Also, VORTIOUS sells a kit...or soon will.(based off of Psycho Pirate s design I might add) He also has or soon will put in store, an upgrade for Ares for his spikes and leather wrapped arm.

samsson37 · 06-25-2014, 05:46 AM

I usually hit around 4-5 ross stores on my circuit and these are first few I've seen in a couple months. BCF had a nice initial dump then they were gone quickly. TJ Maxx has had zip.

Are you asking about Discount stores like Ross/TJ Maxx and stuff? They have no rhyme or reason with the stock except it's older stuff they are trying to dump. You just have to check your local stores to see what you can find. Some states get completely different figures of what other states get. Some gets lots and have pegs full of it (see zoffy's post for example) while others like mine have nothing around for months.

ukmu · 06-25-2014, 12:24 PM

Think we will ever see two packs again?

ukmu · 06-25-2014, 12:25 PM

What is your MOST WANTED CHARACTER that you wish for in wave 5?
Anything goes....but just just one figure.

Mine: Tigra
