The thing about FM is that I'm there every week for groceries anyway so I always check. Other places I gotta go out of my way.

Buying 3 is wholly unnecessary.

Oh ok. Cool!

I need more flames for my ultimate gobbie. Might get a bottle of lighter fluid to help out.

Jk I do need more flames as his flame shield seems silly to me.

Scarlet Witch has a particular thing for metal and rubber flabby bellies X'D
Seriously though, Vision is tall and thin. A Spidey/Quicksilver buck, or the Silver Surfer body, would be better suited for him.

But vision was technically a dad for a while perhaps he has a dad bod mode

As a middle-aged Dad, I resemble that remark! XP

Vision's a father again in the current books, but those are robot children he made so it is different.

I wonder if he has any feelings regarding Scarlet Witch's magic kids anymore. I remember when she first came out and had the twins even he was like "wait what?!" But now matters are even more complicated as (thanks to magic

) her kids are pretty much grown up and they were on a team alongside him but him from the future. Does he think about them? Does he give them awkward step-dad gifts? Well he isn't their step-dad anymore anyways.

Uh...I think you just broke my brain.

^ she conjured her kids at one point. It was Fd up what she did in avengers disasassembled.

Too bad FM is so slow with toys now it seems like that their sales don't mean anything :P

I checked 4 walmarts and 2 TRUS this weekend, no comic 2 packs yet.

You aren't missing anything. Most of the walmarts don't even carry 3.75" figures other than those Corps ones. They had a boatload of the 6" legends, just about every one from the last 2 years.

I actually did make a custom Vision out of a Silver Surfer. It was the custom that taught me that a lot of paint can drown out the sculpting details if you aren't careful.

snake5289 · 02-23-2016, 12:10 AM

Yeah I learned that one the hard way myself.

comic books everybody.

Search eBay; "action base suitable stand" cheap flight stands for everyone!!! (You are welcome)

AOU 5POA scarlet witch wave seen at my local asda £6 each, anyone in the uk looking for any of those figs, I would suggest heading there ASAP before they go.

ukmu · 02-23-2016, 07:27 AM

Looks alright to me.

I will check mine tomorrow.... Did they have Ultrons?

Good looking out Oscar!!!! Just ordered a dozen for £17.08 shipped.
I will take another dozen in a few weeks. Looks like my toy budget for the next couple of months is going towards flight stands and figure stands. Looking at Pro-Tech foe most and Marauders for armies. It was so much easier and cheaper when the figures lived in boxes!

It will TOTALLY be worth it in the end though. After that is sorted going to dust proof and light the cases..... By summer they will be perfect.

Oscarv · 02-23-2016, 08:20 AM

^^^ looks amazing to me. I will own him one day, one day. No problem, that's what it's all about, helping each other out. I have purchased MANY of those flights in the past, always find more and more uses for them. Im glad you are finally getting your collection on display, it makes me cry a bit inside when people have all these figures and can't have them on show. It can be a mega expensive side of our hobby that goes overlooked until it comes to it.

LordMudd · 02-23-2016, 08:29 AM

I have 3 Walmarts around me. 2 are completely out of the 5 PoA AoU figures, the third has 2 pegs full like they just restocked.

CCC.

Which size do I get for 3.75 inch? I don't know the figures they mention. And speaking of scale what do you guys call 3.75 inch figures across the Pond? Just 1/18th?

For me, it's a combination of those legs and that frumpy torso. IMO, that torso has looked horrible on every character it has been used for.
