Hey fellas,

I found three deluxe Frost Giants on clearance for $4 each at a Walmart. Anyone want 'em?

I personally like them better than the light blue guys, especially at half that price. ;)

wolverine2281 02-19-2012 12:19 AM

just completely out of curiosity, I've seen like a dozen people use "Phantomex" for Fantomex. Is there something I'm missing?

Hmmm...Karma? Maybe you like Spider-Man? I have a couple extra of him...ebay says he's "rare". What do ya need exactly? I have an extra Iron Patriot...or I could make you up a Mystery Package with various cool stuff in it (meaning cool stuff I have no real use for cluttering up my room).
My roommmate's gota cat- nice disposition, like new.

PM me and we'll hash it out.

fallen69lee04 02-19-2012 12:53 AM

fo sho bro.

bmorr 02-19-2012 09:13 AM

well, ive gone and made yet another iteration to my display space, im never happy with my outcomes. So, i made a new setup to maximize shelf space efficiently and where i can view the most figs at once. Too bad i only gained like 25% more space even after the new villain mezzanine....but at least now i can store figs underneath it.

sorry about the sideways image...imageshack did this not me:(

Jason Abbadon 02-19-2012 10:55 AM

WOO!

I just got back frm BSing with Big Hank at Michael's Art store- he hooked me up with that Ultimate Thor he had picked up...so here's my mini review:

The limited articulation has already been harped on a lot so I'll spare you that again.
Sculptwise, this is an excellent figure!
VERY comics-faithful, right down to the details on boots and the odd open part on his torso's back.
This figure has great paint apps- a nice dark glossy semi- metallic blue for the chest armor and a great job was done on his face- his eyes are excellent a well.
Placed next to Showdown Thor, the Ultimate head is the same size- and with some skin tone matching might make for an amazing headswap!

Very happy to report that Ultimate Thor is MU scale!
Not the too-small size of the Thor movie figures- this figure is noticibly taller than Captain Marvell, but just short of Wonder-Man. He looms over figures like the Skrull or AIM goon- and those guys are baseline human sized (they match GI Joes), so he's a pretty good size.
The neck peg is SW sized, so if you wanted Darth Thor, you're in for a treat, but swapping with Sentry might neeed some putty.
The face sculpt, I can not stress enough, is just great- superior to the Modern Thor fig (which I rather like) and the beard is nicely sculpted on with the hair being a seperate piece.
Removing the hair leaves you with a damn near perfect Thunderstrike head- I'll just need to sculpt the short hair on him!
And that's why I wanted this in the first place! Articultion aside, the body looks like a great Thunderstrike base too.. but I'll use him (or a second fig) and his super-ripped arms for Ares as soon as Onyx gets that head/helmet two pack ready for sale!
And it'll be epic! This Thor has the biggest guns of any human-proportioned figure!

The axe-hammer has a great and faithful look to it, but is a soft rubbery plastic, so I may correct that with a styrene tube so it remains...er...erect...in Thor's hand. It ocurs to me that the hammer side of his axe looks a LOT like the Black Lantern scythe from Blackest Night- could be an easy custom to make if you wanted.

The big happy suprise is the odd secondary weapon- I had not payed it any attention in the pics online but this is freakin great! Amazing detail on this-runes on the blade and great detail on the handle's braiding. The weapon sorta opens from spear to axe and looks like something Jack Kirby would have drawn. The colors on this kinda suck but with some repainting, it'll be a gem.
I think I'll make it a Kree Universal Weapon with some mods....

Anyone that does not want their oddball spear/axe, I'll happily take it!

FINAL VERDICT: This line has already gotten a ton of venom from us collectors but if the other comic-series figs of this line are this good, I'll happily pay the ten (!) bucks this cost. Thor is a pleasant suprise in sculpt, paint apps and great custom fodder parts with a bouns of a cool retro-Kirby weapon that would look great in any alien or generic Asgardian's hands.
If this had MU articulation, it would be in the top five Marvel 3.75" figures...but the lack of posability hurts the score so my final verdict is....
6.5/10

Buy the damn thing already!

mikefavata 02-19-2012 11:05 AM

Off-topic, we should meet up at Supercon.

If it's anything like last year's Supercon weekend, I will need a break from my gf and the 6+ friends she will bring with her. :(

Jason Abbadon 02-19-2012 11:12 AM

Absolutely! I'll need an extra pair of eyes to visually sift through all the cosplay teens for the good stuff to buy.
Last year I spent almost a freakin grand on original art and crazyness- this year, I'm shooting for a $500 ceiling...unless Chakin will draw me a Nick Fury! Or a Copiel Cap (assuming he shows this year).

Gotta get a bunch more bootleg DVD's again too- and get Billy West to record my answering message (currently I have Invader Zim).

And who knows? We could be searching or the Kang wave by then!

mikefavata 02-19-2012 11:16 AM

Put a bunch of comics, dvds, figures & games on eBay.

Will trade any of my eBay auctions for stuff from my want list though!

mikefavata 02-19-2012 11:17 AM

You gonna go for the day or stay for the weekend?

Jason Abbadon 02-19-2012 11:19 AM

I'll take Red Guardian! Consider him sold, please (I can paypal but not ebay thanks to my roommate useing my computer).
I'll check your BST too, of course!

I'll probably just go for Saturday...but if someone is only there on Sunday or Friday, I'll go that day as well.

Try collecting the stuff here!" I don't want to come across as rude so I more often than not just bite the lip because stuff can't always be conveyed well online

Ya now I'm quite content with the price now! No more complaining from me =)

I thought the first was good. Marvel candy coated meet Ghost Rider good.
Spirit of Vengence was a bit darker and cooler. I just don't care for crazy Nick Cage faces.

Agree, was kind of getting annoying.

What must see how much they're going for...

Ah that would make sense, I tried selling/trading them a SDCC Chun-Li and Mai figure MOC, they only wanted to give me 15 bucks for it. I was like no way. Not sure how well they give it to other figures though.

http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/...7/ff7df7b0.jpg

Something is missing , I know for sure she is lacking in height ( as most SW figs are compared to MU ) , I might redo her in the future so for now I guess she is a WIP.

Almost thought she was a custom Lady Deathstrike.

shortysben 02-19-2012 11:40 AM

Finally found and picked up the SW Cap & Klaw pack...interesting case...it also had the dark avengers 2-pack in it as well...

jaybird7072 02-19-2012 11:45 AM

rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

Jason Abbadon 02-19-2012 11:56 AM

ow. That's as bad as Thor is good.
The dirty white pants really hurt it's looks too- make those purple and it'd at least have a sorta retro-classic look to it.

jaybird7072 02-19-2012 11:59 AM

HULK SMASH RAIDEN ......lol have some free time and bored

sug2763 02-19-2012 08:28 PM

I know I'm kinda late on this, but I just got the Daredevil/Bullseye two pack, and its amazing! I love the sculpt and the articulation! The colors are perfect, and the accessories, although scarce, fit perfectly into their hands!!! GAHHH, SO EXCITED.
