I was looking through my 3.75" accessory bin and noticed there's a disturbing number of man purses...

I had seen the figures but they didn't really grab me as worth buying but Rulk was in impulse purchase because he looked so cool. I bought him and Hobgoblin and only a couple of others at first. Eventually I realized that the needed a lot more friends.




I picked Red Hulk over Blade. If I could go back I would do it again. Blade is an ugly figure.



I think a whole lot of us did. A lot of these rare and expensive figures peg warmed early. Maybe they got bought mostly by kids and weren't preserved or perhaps overstock was destroyed due to manufacturers buy out.

I don't know how super-villians got around in life carrying those things.

Nah, bro. Man-pur- er uh satchels are totally masculine and reek of pure badass. Why um, Indiana Jones he had one, and you can't say you don't like Indy or you're, uh, unpatriotic and stuff. S'just ya know, cool and stylish to carry all your personal effects in an absolutely not feminine baggy!

Hello.....it's what the kids say is a MAG now, Man bAG. It's called the program, ya might wanna get with it!!!

On a Blade note.... I saw on facebook guys are head-swapping Blade onto a Nick Fury Avengers body and putting on his red-lined leather trench coat on...looks ace!

BTW... I cant find my pack of gum I put in my MAG yesterday..... looks like we got another mystery on our hands gang!

Right? Like get a backpack homie

if its good enough for the Green Goblin and the Hobgoblin...then its good enough for me.....Mags Rule!

That's kind of funny, since I got Blade before Rulk. Yes, the toy kind of sucks (pardon the pun), but I had already decided I was eventually going to get all single-packed figures by that point. So I had planned on getting them both eventually, but I've always thought that Rulk was a silly concept (especially after hearing the big reveal) and I liked Blade better as a character. But even Rulk proved to be a little elusive after I had passed on him the first time in favor of the Daywalker.

That's exactly what happened to me with regard to Vision and Mary Jane.

Well, you crazy kids can keep your emasculating slang and silly portmanteaus. It's always been called a satchel to me and it's been gender neutral for as long as I can remember. :p

I consider satchels or "Mags" to be hipster fanny packs. The only people i see wearing them are people who try to be trendy. Normal people use Backpacks.

I'm not looking to disparage but unless you have archeological equipment, explosives, weapons, or the codes to the nukes there is no excuse to have a man purse/satchel/"mag"/or man-sack. But it's still cooler than a fanny pack.

carrying techniques most to least manly:

bare hands
pockets/wallet
ruck sack
briefcase
backpack
garbage bag
waist band
satchel/purse
fanny pack
bra
have your wife carry your stuff.

Between my pants shirt and coat I have ten pockets on me now...what could i possibly need more storage space for?

Well for me, it's all the condoms I have to carry around... but then ten pockets wouldn't be nearly enough. I'd need the man-bag too...

At the time I think Rulk was still pretty new and new next to nothing about the character. I just thought the figure looked great. A red version Hulk and the color, articulation, and paint apps were great. Way better than the early stuff and my old 90's figures. That was just the moment for me where I was like "they are doing stuff like this" and it caught my eye.

Man,I saw dozens of Mary Jane figures and never bought one. Saw at least 6 before I found an Iron Patriot. Didn't know what I would have done with her but the face was just way off and her clothes looked more like body paint than an actual outfit. And lack of painted sleeves on her shoulders/upper arm makes them look very bulky for someone that is supposed to have a model's frame. It boggles my mind that people are paying what they are for her right now. I guess I understand MOC collectors that feel the need to have it all.

Loving all the conversation about different means of transporting goods on one's person through the use of apparatuses of varying materials, and the names attached to said items.... proper laughed out loud guys.

hey UKMU have you posted the vision pic?? if so I missed them...been awaiting the premiere...

I am sorry... I feel like an arse!!! The photographer STILL hasn't sent them to me. I have wip pics but was saving them for AFTER the reveal.

Trying out imgur instead of photo bucket...

Anyway, I did this back around thanksgiving day for someone on mucollectorclub. What you can't see is the glittery silver,it just looks grey. This was my FIRST comic inspired drawing.

Awesome! And not just because I'm a huge Ultron fan either. I can't wait to see the rest of your 'Vision'

Great drawing here Ukmu!!

I just got an Aurora, but I'm feeling like she has a big head... Is it me?

Nice work indeed Ukmu!
I've only seen the Aurora figure once, but the head did strike me as a bit too large. Not MODOK large, but a miniscule amount.
