New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Great ideas!!
I thought that blowtorch's head would be a perfect Ben Grimm though...

ukmu · 03-15-2015, 06:29 AM

I have two of the yellowish orangey guys from that two pack. We have them as AIM speciists, but when places next to rhe bright yellow of the AIM troops he reads orange. They are on the to do list currently. Placing proper AIM trooper heads on them. Also, we have these flying mech things for them that from two cheap fake GI JOE sets.

Pics very soon

heads up guys the newest line of infinity figures is now showing up on a China dealer the Thunder strike looks soso and I'll definitely probably grab a Shanna at some point for a Viper custom I'm just not impressed with these figures

ukmu · 03-15-2015, 01:45 PM

no Doc, Vulture or Ultron yet though. Good start I suppose though. I am saving my wave 1 money for 10 Ultrons baby!!!!!!!!

Might get a Doc for a chubby HYDRA head swap. Perhaps a driver for one of our vehicles maybe..... like an old trucker who has seen too many greasy spoons.

Iam with Samsson for the Madame Hydra head swap!

Mostly just want loads and loads and loads of gold Ultrons!!!!

ukmu · 03-15-2015, 01:48 PM

maybe he is wave MI 15 w.3.....

they also showed NorthStar and Colosnaugt with MI 15 w.2 figures alongside Grey Beast and Sandman variant too..... my golden army dream was on the shelf of the booth though..... so I am hopeful!

Jackieboy · 03-15-2015, 02:10 PM

Finally!

IcantBseriouS · 03-15-2015, 02:19 PM

Damn you guys are lucky. My local stores just had Purple Wonderman for what seems to be over a year now. They finally just got in some Drax figures in. I refuse to pay scalper prices as well so shits tough. Any cool people willing to snag some figures & sell for cost? I'll cover shipping & have stuff for trade as well.

Also crazy request. Could someone hook me up with some side by side pics of MU & MI Beast? Wanna see neck joint & the figures standing next to each other front and back. I have an idea but don't wanna waste time tracking down the figure if it's gonna be a lot of work.

ukmu · 03-15-2015, 02:50 PM

I don't have them..... But whatever it is, it is gonna be a lot of work!

K Dubious · 03-15-2015, 03:00 PM

Nice $8 find today

For Christs sake, don't put that up here! UKMU can sense when someone buys a HYDRA trooper, and he hunts them down and kills them for it!
Don't mess with a HYDRA and his prey!

IcantBseriouS · 03-15-2015, 03:22 PM

That's why I make my own. For fear of my life.

Hail Hydra.

ukmu · 03-15-2015, 04:00 PM

It is 11 pm here... For some unknown reason I got up and checked the tablet, toy ark was on when I hit the button and there was a CAPTAIN AMERICA: the first Avenger, movie line ATTACK TROOPER #12 comic colour variant looking at me! No shit, true story! My Hydey senses must have been tingling!! Picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue......

Which ones are you looking for?

ReIssue · 03-15-2015, 05:09 PM

Finally finished 80% of my 3.75" guardians of the galaxy, so I figured I'd post my universe so far.

UrsaMagnus · 03-15-2015, 05:21 PM

That Coulson head is fantastic!

That's a steal. I ordered a Bob head from Vortious that should be here an day, so I'll need to pick one of those up if I can find one for a decent price. I'll have to make a Joanne's run to find a green that matches.

Awesome work! Where's Gamora?

Kernel · 03-15-2015, 07:39 PM

UKMU and A Friend posted this in the UK Marvel Universe thread... it looks like the other 2 pack for the TRU AoU figures is going to be Falcon and Hawkeye.

Avengers: Age of Ultron Hawkeye and Falcon 3.75" Figures - Toys R Us - Britain's greatest toy store

Too bad they didn't do something like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, or Vision and Ultron... I've seen almost all of these figures they are releasing in one form or another for $5 at Ross.

snake5289 · 03-15-2015, 08:41 PM

Weak but I had a felling that it wouldn't be anything new because the other two-packs are just repaints/repacks. Vision and Ultron would have been amazing.

I need the recipe for that WS Cap ASAP!!!

Zend · 03-15-2015, 08:51 PM

Well that's good, I need both a Falcon and a movie Hawkeye, and I really don't like Falcon's comic costume. Them and Fury look like straight repaints of the Avenger's Assemble SHIELD TECH figures with different accessories though. That kinda sucks.

ReIssue · 03-15-2015, 09:38 PM

Awesome work! Where's Gamora?

Still looking for the right parts man!

Looking at the OG figure, the first thing I noticed was his torso was waaaay too big for the limbs. Used a CA:TWS torso with cobra trooper waist and legs. Cut off caps tiny hands and added marvel universe captain Rogers' hands. Added the avengers captain America head with sculpted details, and Sculpted the detail onto caps pants and switched the boots off of the original figure. It's a Hybrid Kitbash/Sculpted figure.

I'd love to see that as those other figures look fantastic. I'm holding off on Gamora since Hasbro is making one as a result of that fan poll at SDCC 2014... Hopefully we'll see it before 2019 or whatever the heck the release date is. If it were my choice I'd make a green fishnets JLo version of Gamora.

ukmu · 03-15-2015, 11:55 PM

They promised her a 2016 release.... Hasbro has never lied to us before, so I am sure they will not let us down.

I am hoping for the classic, well not silver age anyway, but slutty black Borat man kini with Cape.

Also a big shoutout and welcome to ReIssue!!!!!!

Got a little work done on the HYDRA mobile base Sunday. It will be a true labour of love when finished! It includes a huge drop ship and two removable mechs as well. The army is set up to put the hurt on the good guys now!

ukmu · 03-15-2015, 11:56 PM

Forgot to ask ReIssue if that Coulson head is from Glassman Customs?

Goldengreg · 03-16-2015, 01:30 AM

Ok so they are re-releasing 3.75" figs of Cap, Widow, Fury, Hawk and Falcon... Couldn't they just re-release a Tony Stark? I don't feel paying 80$ for a hall of armors, and it's not like they broke the mold.
