I only need 16 more single carded versions and some 2-packs/exclusives. Updated want list. Updating haves list soon.

just got series 1 Hulk, i actually quite like it, the only thing that bugs me is the position of the head, i wish he was looking up more instead of down. Anyone know of any way to fix this? or how to remove the head?

All MU heads literally pop right off. To fix the not looking up part you will need to shave the inside back of the head with a good hobby knife. Before cutting pay attention to where the head rubs on the shoulders. Don't go too crazy it will only give a slight improvement. Use your judgment on how much to remove before the head doesn't stay on anymore.

thanks, just wanted assurance before i popped the head off

I got my Cloverfield Monster shipping notice today!!! Ya...

AAAARGGGG! I realize this was probably a change mid-production that Hasbro inadvertantly made, but buying dumb(er) figures three times is getting rediculous. Are there 3 versions of Electro now, or 4? There's two new ones in the latest revision pack, and I heard there was a matte/glossy mistake difference in the original, so that sounds like 4. Ugh. I've only found one.

I don't think all of it is done on purpose. These packaging differences were probably 'improvements' to them, and the MOC collectors likely make up too small of a percent of the buyers to do it on purpose.

I get them when I can, but I'm not going to pay crazy amounts for them. That's reserved for Blade and Colored Vision, lol.

Very nice! I'm so jealous! I can't wait for your 'haves' to be updated with your doubles. I'm sure there's a decent handful of those I'll need. (Though I'm not sure how much more I have that you need, on the other hand...)

I wish. There's too many older figures to catch up on! I wish I could say I'm current and just waiting for the next wave, but with new revisions coming out right before the next wave, it looks like I'll never get a break.

Pete- my list is updated. Also there are 4 Electros. The glossy and matte version you mentions (like red hulk) as well as the the variants/variations (both have translucent hands, one has a translucent mask, the other more solid)

I draw the line now.

I am not done collecting MU. But I am done with this horse shit. 4 of a figure because they change a picture? No. I was already slowly falling out of completionism because of my first child coming next April, but this is my death blow to it. I am happily collecting who I enjoy as a character now and no more. It's how I started collecting these and it's how I will finish. With that being said, I may have several rare and/or exclusives going into a bst soon since I only have a good amount of them because I was getting evvvverything.

P.S. It's a boy!! So gotta start his marvel toy collection now! Superhero squad to start I'm thinking. :P

I may take you up on that ;)

Congrats. Save the kid an Electro.

I only have 1 Electro, and it's the original plain one. He fights my spiderman on my shelf along with all the other spidey villains!

And he can have most everything in this collection when he is old enough to appreciate it (and that does mean play with them even). But the ones I love are still mine until he appreciates them in a non-playing way. :P

Looked through a couple of revision cases at wally-world yesterday and saw a couple of Darkhawks- not variant though.
Anyone anywhere spotted that variant yet?

Not yet. I found one revision case. No Electro and no variants.

Same here- though I saw a human form Absorbing Man and passed.
i hvae the awesome steel version thanks to a fellow Arker!

Agreed, unless it's a big difference in the Variant, not getting it, and save me some $$$

Nice bed sheets!

Kind of :P Been burning some on filling in the holes for my collection.

need a MU mary jane...anyone got one forsale??

There's a loose one in my sales/trade thread if you want her.

is that jungle BAT new? or is it an older fig from the line? I dont collect joes, but that looks pretty sweet. especially the accessories that i can give to my MU.

did you get DD/BE retail?

Received my Quicksilver/Wonderman in the mail yesterday! Stoked for Peitro! Debating on getting rid of WM... not an avengers fan.

As far as picking up anything new along the lines of MU, I just don't see myself buying anything online anymore. I used to, but now I strongly feel that unless they're found in the wild, they're not worth buying. Things are significantly changing, and there really is no need to pay more than retail unless someone needs to find them under some sort of time restraint (gift or something to that effect).

What about buying it at hasbrotoyshop with the discount code? I've found that this can be cheaper than retail.
