New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Guess it depends on what scale you are looking to get.

Get one of the MU figures, Thanos is never depicted as really huge, his listed height is actually around 6'7". Very few artists make him more than 7' tall, hell in his most famous story (The Infinity Gauntlet) he's hardly any taller than Silver Surfer or Adam Warlock. It's hard to even use Hulk as legends to be in scale since Hulk's max height is usually listed as 8'8" so a Hulk legends figure closer to 7" tall is kinda pushing it. A 7" figure in scale would be scaled to about 10'6", so you can maybe pass Hulk off that big if you want a truly giant Hulk, but not really Thanos.

Odd, I always thought he was a lot taller. I guess I could get the MU Thanos and the Newer Hulk to get rid of that hunch.

If you don't need him with the infinity gauntlet I would go with the one from the Adam warlock 2 pack, or the first single carded one that had a spare hand if you do want him with it.
I don't know why but I'm not too crazy about josh brolin playing thanos. I wish they would have kept the actor at the end of avengers as thanos, that sinister smile at the end showed way more than brolins neutral face the entire time in GOTG.

he was CGI the whole time I thought

I think any of the MU Thanos figures are good enough. Chinabay has some great prices on them as well. Each have there strenghths and weaknesses, you COULD take the best of each and kit bash a nicer one I suppose. In my opinion the new baf Thanos is a little weak. Looks plain and bland to me, I prefer the MU look to him. Plus I feel he would not look in scale and stick out like a sore thumb.

Can anyone recommend a place that has sword replicas or anything along those lines for the 3.75 scale? I can't seem to find anything.

What kind of sword you looking for? Marauder Gun Runners is a great place to start! Also a lot on the Chinese eBay sellers of you just want a generic one. If it is specific to a ready made Hasbro one try having them cast. Our very own K-Dub is a really good up and coming caster. Vort has a great selection but he is so bogged down he is about 45 days plus shipping time to get to you. Also look in strange places. Pound Shoppes/Dollar Stores toys are terrible but sometimes a nice sword can be had. Even girls toys might have what you need. A nice transparent purple cocktail sword for olives looks the business with Nightcrawler.

- If you wanna get really crazy I have an extra Infinity Gauntlet set. I personally think that Thanos looks the best. Number 2 would be the Adam Warlock comic pack & last would be the single carded.
- When it comes to weapons you simply just cannot beat Mauraderinc. They're awesome!
- I just got my lot I won on eBay. New Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Woman, Baron Zemo, Black Night, Beta Ray Bill, Thor & Dr Strange for $42. I don't think that's a bad deal. Especially when I only need 3 maybe 4 of them & gonna realist the others.

I was hoping to find something along the lines of Rebellion from DMC or Cloud's Buster Sword to give my Ghost Rider. I just like the idea of him swinging around a big sword along with the chain.

I was looking at some keychains but some were pricy and others I couldn't tell if they were the right size or not.

You can probably look at the schleich toys or Papo toys , some of the swords on their figures can be removed. Also TRU has True Legends toys that you can get those swords too.

Do you guys think $30 shipped for FF Spidey and the reversed color version that came with FF Doom is too much? Loose of course

They seemed determined to move toward this crappy 2.5 scale.

There's a 5 POA Ultron and Scarlett Witch coming in wave 2 of the Avengers AoU All Star

I'm not familiar with those but I'll try and look into it. Thanks for the tip.

snake5289 · 02-26-2015, 06:05 PM

Damn not only does the sword look like it'll work but the figure looks pretty cool for a ministatue.

Looks like I'm picking up the Scarlet Witch. I hope she's got a good head sculpt.

Those are sweet but not quite what I was looking for. And thanks to LapuLapu I found something I can use.

Thanks though. Those may come in handy sometime down the line.

samsson37 · 02-26-2015, 10:23 PM

I know this normally goes in the BTS thread but, most people don't look there. I'm looking for a professor X head. I know most people grabbed him for the suit so I'm sure someone has a head they arent using. Any help would be appreciated.

ukmu · 02-26-2015, 10:31 PM

When are we gonna see these 5 poa figures!?!?
