thank you Pilk Meister, i am deeply humbled!!

as some of you may have noticed (by now) some of my pics have better lightings (clearer). i will continue to upgrade my photography lightings while providing a realistically clean use of live materials for my presentation.

*whispers* MU FTW...

They cancelled the new Falcon figure. One hand, less 3.75. Other hand, eh?

MeLikeJinx · 09-08-2017, 05:08 PM

Wow. That Ghost Rider pic is amazing.

Also my updated X-men MU shelf...

Basically just added X-23 Wolvie. Oh and a Fassbender-ish Magneto placeholder stand-in which will hopefully be replaced with the upcoming AoA Magneto soon. Just don't ask me why young Magneto and old Xavier exist in the same timeline on the shelf. LOL.

Yep no 3.75 news. Just the boring stuff from SDCC.

ukmu · 09-08-2017, 07:04 PM

Creator, bravo bro. Killing it.

Nut, you have taken literally THE BEST 3.75" toy pics I have ever seen... Ever. I mean that.

So.... Elephant in the room time. HasCon "Marvel panel" has happened. Once again, nothing. Not surprised, none of us are. The day goes PERFECTLY with Kostej's pic from earlier today, one page back.

Disappointed? Words fail me.

Actually, had to come back and edit. I have a few words now.
Good bye Marvel. I still have a small list of stuff I need. I will still make and aquire custies from those that I am a fan of, I will still bug everyone here, I will still wave the flag. But I am done being emotionally attached to this line. I won't be let down again.

I think you are trying too hard. She already has a head....

I'm really surprised Hasbro even mentioned their licensed products.
Black Panther movie stuff is a joke. I bet that will peg warm hard.

MUfan97 · 09-08-2017, 10:58 PM

Tbh, I'm kinda glad they're holding off on movie stuff for our scale at the moment. I keep on wanting to build up an MCU display, but I always prioritize comic figures for this line(which I still have a decent amount to catch up on). I just find them more interesting.

Anybody else have that problem?

nice going & keep up the good work MLJinx, you have good composition & posing abilities. while it's nice to see a kit-bash of Erik, it's breath-taking to spot a variant Havok

thanks bro, for your constant encouragement. you & all those who came & are yet to come, deserves the real standing ovation. i am merely providing that temporal (no guarantee how MU fans will end up, & also the limitations that may come with it) feed into a drive that must be completed. and whether anyone believes in it or not, i FUCKING DUN CARE! yeeee-hawww!!!

anyhoo, sharing an all time fav band...

i thought about your sentiment, & it made me wonder why i too, prefer their comic version over MCU. i then came up with the following explanations -

* for myself it's akin to consuming any food (especially for the very first time), i prefer the original taste while minimizing/omitting the use of condiments. it doesn't matter whether it's Italian or French pizza, coz being lost in translation it could well have originated from China. which brings us to the next point...

* the greater a collectively accepted cultural icon, the more attractive power it holds. that being said, MCU is one such icon that basically did its work to generate buzz for Marvel noobs. yet this will never override comics originality since it also cause curious noobs to delve more into MCU's origination.

thanks for making me wonder!

ukmu · 09-09-2017, 03:39 AM

Word up Nut....Word up.

I don't do MCU at all. I know others do it exclusively and most do a fair mix. I always choose classic comic version over modern as well. Try to STRICK one version of one character rule. I personally cringe seeing 26 Captain America figures and 17 Wolverines. I refuse a diff version of the same character....funny that, as an army builder that goes against my ethos. In fact, in the beginning I thought army building was dumb. After being 100 of literary 3 different figures over and over and over again, I no see it as dumb. I see it as absolutely retarded!!!!! If you ever thought about having a big army, don't. It is a sickness. Avoid at all costs my friends. That said....anyone have any HYDRA troops up for grabs? (He says while licking his dry lips and frantically scratching his face) #crack

I think the BP toys will peg warm when they make it to the discount stores. I also think it will be the first Marvel Studios film to bomb. I love me some Marvel films, but it has to stop at some point. Wish it would go out on a bang after Avengers. A leave them wanting more scenario, but they will milk the teet until it is Saharan dry. Perhaps to the extent of tainting the good comic films that preceded it. I fear they will over saturate until none of means anything. With 22 films to watch leading up to Avengers 3, one could certainly argue we have reached that point already. At least the film's are good now, I think after BP and Mrs. Marvel hit the crapper the quality will decline sharply. It is all just an objective opinion that means nothing from some rambling lunatic on ToyArk.... but there it is.

Primacron · 09-09-2017, 03:43 AM

That is an incredible Dormammu pic.

Although the (Marvel) news from Hascon is crap, I reckon that new Apocalypse would work rather well with a 3.75" display.

I do love my 6 inch legends but it's so frustrating the absolute ridiculous unbalance in the two scales. They need two separate heads of production, Stahl can just do 6 inch figures and bring someone in for this line who has an actual love of the scale.

Mr Nash, it's lovely to hear someone who collects both scales making a point of the favouritism. It's normally nothing but hate from 6" collectors

Your display looks lovely, nice and clear and plenty of space. Enjoy it while you can, as it will rapidly expand beyond you control! I remember when my display was like that, instead of a while damn room! Haha

Sender · 09-09-2017, 07:56 AM

Awesome Galactus & Spiral, Creator!

Nut, the Midnight Sons diorama is the B-O-M-B! Seriously, who needs HasCon 3.75 diorama when we have your pics here to look forward to. They are the ones that the longer I stare, the more details I appreciate. Really well done!

While I love classic Marvel Universe as it is a classic for a reason, I owe the MCU for materializing my favorite character & team into the 3.75 scale. The original Ultimates Hawkeye blew my mind with a modern update to the traditional costume. The Ultimates, in general, mixed two genres that I loved growing up military (GI Joe) & superheroes.
And the Marvel Cinematic Universe took the Ultimates concept and ran with it for a modern origin to the Avengers (the whole point of the Ultimates comic universe). Thus inspiring the 3.75 MCU line to produce not only the movie versions but the Ultimates comic versions as well.
As I've mentioned before I dig 'tactical' superheroes and the MCU delivered.

The only drawback to the cinematic universe is trying not to see actors in costume, so I began melting some of the classic line head sculpts into some of the modern costumes or have created "Marvelous Joes" with joe/mu.

Needless to say, I have both separate classic & movie/modern classic Marvels on display in our toy room.

SPIRAL, major arm butcher, all arms work though! Tell me what you guys think, and articulation rules. Almost 500 figures fellas....KEEP CREATING FRIENDS!!!!!

Amazing work as usual. But, my good man, you really need to take some time out of creating to get to grips with posting proper images instead of thumbnails. Would be much appreciated by all.

Oscarv · 09-09-2017, 08:05 AM

Quick apology;
There will be no skrull or AIM customs being worked on/completed/shown this weekend.
They have been sacrificed for beer and batman (arkham knight).
Have spent so much time on figures and the room that I need to take a bit of time to appreciate it/them.
Keep the positive vibes flowing team!
(I like how we have, almost, brushed past the unfortunate and expected non-news at has-con. All about the appreciation here remember

)

Oscarv · 09-09-2017, 08:06 AM

If anyone has a picture theme/suggestion for this weekend, let's hear it
