New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

i have Emma so I'm happy with that...

I could have sworn there was a wave of re-releases due though...

Kernel · 11-24-2015, 10:31 PM

Yeah I was very happy to get Emma and colossojugs. Now there is just one piece of unfinished business from the MU line. Q up my best Samson impression here... Where is my badoon flarking skurge!

Now let's talk 3.75in toys...

MUfan97 · 11-24-2015, 11:28 PM

Thinking about converting my 2-pack Silver Surfer into a custom classic Vision, my logic being that 1) He has a crappy paint job anyway, 2) The normal Vision is too expensive, 3) The new Vision has a body I wouldn't use for anything else, so why grab his head and cape for a custom? And 4) I can easily get a new Silver Surfer in the future.

I'm also much more of a Vision fan than a Silver Surfer fan.

Thoughts?

I will be so upset if we're not getting her. She goes for ridiculous prices and we're getting no mutants next year.

Mutants are over, at least as far as toys in our scale in the foreseeable future go. I remember that Rogue talk as well but it seemed to fade away. The SKU numbers leaked might be Legends. We will find out in February at Toy Fair. Also, it means that well get very confusing when the MI line gets re-branded into 3.75" Marvel Legends.

Rogue may not come out again, if so she would be an under articulated new female. Buy the MU one, as she most likely won't be getting any cheaper any time soon.

Was there any other bad news you needed delivered? A sick relative, or upcoming job loss perhaps? Sorry to be the bearer....

It ain't gonna happen, but for me to be happy I'mma need every major character in the movie. All of the dueling heroes, plus whatever villain(s).

A metallic base like Surfer might work well with transparent paints of other colors. and the All-Star Vision figure could be a cheaper source of a head and cape if you wanted to do a modern version.

A spare Iron Fist or Mysterio figure with a green base would save a lot of painting and paint rub issues, though.

This animated gif rotates through the All-Star Vision,the All-Star head on Mysterio's body, and the All-Star head on Iron Fist's body.

Upon seeing the trailer, my mind went immediately to new costume references for customs. Here are some screencaps that I took, color adjusted in Photoshop for better visibility.

Now get to work on those CA:CW customs!

And this one is just because it is cool. And Scarlet Witch flies!

4 real!!!!

ukmu · 11-25-2015, 08:17 AM

That's because Hasbro never believed they were made..... they are actually figments of our collective consciousness.

Also....props to PP as that shit.... is dope.

I said I wanted to do a Classic Vision, as that's the only good look he's had in the comics, in my opinion. I'll probably do paper and tape for the cape, since fabric would be far to hard to shape into the collar, whilst I have a good plan for how to do it with paper.

Right, that is where I got confused. When PP showed some great recipe options for a classic Vision like the MU version you said, "I said I wanted a classic Vision."

Thought you meant even further back.... That is why I posted his early look because it seemed odd. I didn't think anyone wanted that version.... Although, I believe PP has one actually.

Psycho Pirate · 11-25-2015, 10:51 AM

My pics were more of a modern Vision, not classic. I missed that in his first post. To me, classic implies the 70's and 80's (at least for Marvel).

ukmu · 11-25-2015, 12:46 PM

You posted those pics as I was typing. Nice. I really enjoy looking at PP's figures! I think it is the first time you posted them here? He is ace, I am gonna save that pic to look over later.

I fortunate enough to own a PP custom in our collection. Our Valinor, the Black Knights faithful steed.

Perhaps that is where the next level of collecting lies K-Dub.... Collecting customs from the top guys around. I have a mate that does that. He has someone from anyone who is anyone. I think that is a cool idea.

We saw her practice flying at the very end of AoU, but it's nice to see she's making progress discovering powers.

Looks good, although I hope it's totally not about Bucky...but the fight scenes will be amazing.

Civil War hype! Dammit, we better be getting a decently articulated MCU Black Panther!

I took this screenshot and gave it the vintage filter to make it look like he's in Wakanda!

Here's the original:

This is the best-looking screenshot of Black Panther I've taken so far and tbh it looks like the best one I've seen in general. Idk why, but all of the other screenshots I took didn't look HD.

Madame Warlock · 11-25-2015, 05:29 PM

God it's a sucky time to be an X-men fan.

I wish they'd make a line of just the X-kids. Quinten Quire, Pixie, Dust, Surge...
