New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Mordiganne · 03-02-2016, 03:57 PM

BBTS has the new wave up for pre-order. Most of the single listings have sold out already.

Still can't post links,so go look for yourselves.

Rage is still good for parts. Totally going to be a custom redo. Living Laser is just nifty looking. Liking that head on Vision for sure. And will snag as many of the DD as I can find for customs.

Gamora still sucks.

Completely different figure and the paint apps are also very different. The old TRU one has some weird paint apps on the face.

Excited for Gamora coming up too! Feels great to finally start rounding out the GOTG more again, and getting All-New Avengers started too with new Thor and Sam Wilson Cap.

Now if only they'd make all-new Wolverine already and the other all-new x-men.

Hopefully you don't regret passing it up then! If you aren't able to find the other 2 down the road. I think they're selling out fast. Would love to have the X-23 Wolverine...They probably use the same X-23 buck but just change the costume since it's so easy to do.

Which is crazy on prices. It would be nice if HTS listed this latest wave or the prior one :P

They'll reuse her hands at least probably, but the Wolverine Costume itself is a bit more sculpted in detail and different boots than what the X-23 figure has. Plus it's actually a little bit shorter. (They lowered Laura's height after Secret wars. She used to be taller than Logan. Now she's 5'2''.)

It's essentially astonishing wolverine with tiger stripe wolverine's boots.

If she is shorter and still thin enough, she might be good custom fodder for the rest of the New Mutants.

CCC.

Oh yeah, biiiig difference. Thanks, archivist.

Il Cattivo · 03-02-2016, 09:36 PM

get back in there and finish your vegetables!

Il Cattivo · 03-02-2016, 09:45 PM

they see us rollin they hatin

ukmu · 03-02-2016, 10:35 PM

Thanks for the tip RedFox about the Guardians comic packs. Surely they wouldn't try the SAME thing as the three pack to single pack and now double pack them, would they? A more classic look Gamora would help to make sense of why they chose THAT look for the single carded Gamora.

How does a head swap between the two look(disregarding likeness)?

snake5289 · 03-03-2016, 12:05 AM

^^ I was wondering that myself.

Il Cattivo · 03-03-2016, 01:07 AM

the hole on cap2's head is way too small to fit cw cap's larger neck ball it'd need some dremeling and I ain't got no motherfucking dremel
but here's cw head + cap2 body.

that head makes him look like a midget. too big imo.

slim19722 · 03-03-2016, 01:47 AM

Sometimes a dremel isn't needed. Heat the head with a hair dryer or a dip in hot water for about a minute and place on the neck post. It'll stretch and if you want the head hole back to its original shape, reheat and the hole will go back to its original size.

What? That's stupid why did they make her shorter...in the comics too...

UrsaMagnus · 03-03-2016, 12:33 PM

Y'know, for something that supposedly doesn't sell as well as the 6-inch Legends, all I see at the stores are...

...while the big figures continue to peg warm.

Hmph.

TheLongestDay · 03-03-2016, 12:45 PM

After I saw Ninjinisters pic of Marvel Select Ant-Man I knew I had to grab one:

Also heres some Netflix inspired figures Ive been playing around with:

Bernthal-Castle:

Alt head:

UrsaMagnus · 03-03-2016, 01:23 PM

Those pics are fantastic. I especially love the Ant-Man ones.

So is that the Select, 3.75, and... what's the smallest? Or do I have them messed up?

snake5289 · 03-03-2016, 02:09 PM

Select, 3.75 with the ant, and the minifig that comes with the Select if I'm not mistaken.

Ninjinister · 03-03-2016, 02:17 PM

Glad I could be responsible for a purchase

Mordiganne · 03-03-2016, 03:30 PM

That old TRU 1st appearance DD is even worse than I remembered! That thing was a travesty.

Haha mine's like that too, but they have stocked up on them, just sold out. I wonder if Target will be getting the 2 packs at all.
