for Castle dooms front yard.

I love the elitism present in the Legends forums, their air of superiority over the scale of their collection really highlights the inadequacies in other aspects of their life. And, I have to agree, a lot of the dope collections I've seen on here are MU, Joe and Star Wars centric.



For me, it was seeing Archangel and 90's Cyclops on the shelf and my X-Men obsession took over. The 3.75" is ideal for my deskspace.



And here it is, the obligatory chicken little "the sky is falling, MU is over" post. It's been a while since we had one.

Does anybody use Legends, Selects or even old ToyBiz figures in their MU displays to portray height differences for characters like Galactus, Sentinels, FFF, Giant Man and the likes? I'm aware there's MU equivalencies of most of them but still

ill post some more set up pics of my shelves later

im the same as you,some of my friends were and still are hardcore collectors,i just viewed myself as casual.but MU has started to turn me into something of a fanatic for the line.agreed with everything you said,my GF has less of a problem with these then she had with legends<<<mainly to do with lack of space.

You can tell I'm relatively new to Ark, because I collect both MU and ML scales and think they're awesome. More figures to tinker with and mod as far as I'm concerned. lol... not sure why anyone would talk crap about either scale.

Having no preference doesn't make you new. Just not an elitist. I'd say "Welcome to the Ark" but it says you joined in 2011. Welcome Back instead.

i was able to keep most of my bafs and they fit rather well with MU,even figures like blackheart and manthing.i think its cool that we can cross over with some characters,because of comic tradition,some of these characters have the ability to alter their size.

Yep Foom is a stunning figure, I am well impressed with the BAF sentinels though, I have the MU ones but we just got 3 of the BAF ones and they are on another level it kind of makes me want to grab the BAF galactus to see if its the same quality.

Oh Apocalypse is great as well but you already know that SB lol

I agree with Jackieboy about Man-thing and Blackheart Mephisto works well but he is hard to find in good condition
