They’re a GameStop Exclusive I believe

There really isn't unfortunately.

Suit bodies Legends figures like Coulson, Chameleon, and Banner used to flood eBay on the cheap, but collectors have since figured out how versatile they are for customs, which has since caused the prices on the secondary market to jump. Even the Chinese KO bootlegs of these figures command high prices.

WWE figures can be used in a pinch, but unfortunately they are out of scale with Legends. Basic figures though also lack the articulation that Legends have, and the Elite figures with full articulation that are bearing suits often are some of the more pricey ones.

DC's Movie Masters line, (which I used to use for customs and covered the Nolan Batman films) which featured a ton of suited characters and have decent articulation, have also jumped in price for some inexplicable reason. A few years ago, you could find Joker Thugs and Harvey Dent figures for about 10 bucks. Good luck finding one under 25 dollars now a days.

Your best bet is to watch the ebay like a hawk, or to find these at local toy expos or flea markets, where you can haggle the price. Eventually, you will get lucky. Just might take a while to get there when army building your syndicate of suited goons.

We'll be getting a new MCU Nick Fury next year. That might be the easiest/cheapest way to purchase the suit body.

Speaking of characters in plain clothes, Whistler has been a recurring "want" of mine. While most of the cast of the Blade series would also make great additions to a line of movie figures, I think Whistler with his dishevelled hair and shotgun would be an awesome addition to any shelf or collection.

Throwing a Justice League Aquaman head on an Old Man Logan body and painting his hair grey is probably the closest we'll ever come to a 6in Whistler.

That's a real solid idea. I like the way you think!

Got my shipping notice for Vintage Wasp from Dorkside! magik aside, which I'm not on any real hurry on since I have the exclusive from several years ago, I'm excited to give my wallet a break for a couple of months.

So...I'm sorry I deleted the messages by accident and don't remember who it was, I picked up my Apocalypse claw today. Love it thanks! Had to let it sit in the PO for a week.

Thanks!

JosephO359 · 10-15-2018, 02:06 PM

Yeah, it sucks. I suppose that was a benefit of the Toybiz Legends, we weren't only getting one movie continuity represented.

I pick it up for $18 Shipped. I have no clue why there is a Baby hulk but I thought it look so Kool that I just had to have it.

It's from the original Old Man Logan storyline, which is kind of like Marvel's version of a Mad Max-esque tale. You should definitely give it a read sometime, if you get the chance.

Does anyone know of a good stand in or easy custom for a Mcu Kingpin/Fisk? Because I definitely need one and doubt Hasbro will give us one

If you are willing to stand off the hair and do some paint touch ups (though you might not need to, since you will be shaving off the hair) I'd go with the Paul Heyman WWE Elite Baf. It's a pricey buck to experiment with (usually he hits about 35 bucks on eBay) but it's a passable likeness and would probably scale well to Legends.

Boy Blunder · 10-16-2018, 01:39 PM

I know the odds are low, but is anyone looking to unload parts for SP//dr or Sauron? Still trying to get both arms and the right leg for SP//dr (I want to get Kaine if I can find him, but I want to finish SP//dr more) and the torso and tail from Sauron (the right arm with Bishop would be nice, but he's already on my 'definitely buy' list)

Thanks Triv! Ima give it a shot. I tried seeing a review of him but couldn’t find one that compared him to a legend. But like u said I think he’ll scale well

Now that's a lawyer I could trust

jmurray90720 · 10-16-2018, 05:26 PM

Once again, if anyone can get me a Magik I’ll pay $32 shipped loose for it. I don’t want the packaging.
