I wish I had enough space and money to have a ML collection but oh well, lol.

The company line about that buck (and the new female Aurora buck as well) is that tey have too many moving parts and would end up making the figures cost more than the big box store are willing to buy/sell them for. By reading into this, they're basically saying we'd be paying ML prices for MI figures with none of the added benefits.
Which, personally, I think is a crock. It's just another example of Stahl forcing the issue about his preferred scale and doing pretty much everything he can to put this line in the ground. I had hoped that when the DCUC line ended, I wouldn't have to put up with somebody with such a strong bias for one line over the other again (Neitlich's preference for MOTUC over the DC stuff) and yet here we are again. *grumble* I refuse to buy into the MLs. Not only did I make the switch back in the day in good faith when Hasbro said they were moving forward with this scale, but I won't give Stahl the satisfaction of another customer for what he wants. If they stop making the 3.75" figures, or they die on the pegs then so be it. Ultimately all he's doing is saving me money on figures I won't have to buy anymore. |
I feel that Dwight Stall is to blame for a lot of the changes to our beloved line, but I don't blame him for everything.
Honestly if any of "US" (3.75 collectors) were put in charge, we all know where our focus would be. So I can't blame a guy for putting his heart into his job. When Vonner was around he was obviously a 3.75" guy considering Legends weren't in production the first few years of MU. Plus to Dwight's credit Legends are selling really well (I have seen over 5 restocks of the Ulton BAF wave and already 3 restocks of the Rhino wave at my TRU), so he is probably looking like the golden child to Hasbro right now. At the end of the day I can see some of his points, like regardless of the size of the figure the cost to manufacture has got to be close to the same. It just sucks because the changes came at a time where MU was really chugging along. I can honestly say there were some MUs that I never saw on pegs and waves like Angel/puck were so good that sometimes the entire peg would be empty. I have never seen that for Legends, there are always some warmers. So my biggest complaint is the age old "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and there seem to be way too many changes to a line that was already quite successful IMO. Quote:

Honestly, I don't think I'd ever make ML my main focus or anything bigger than 3 3/4" in general. For as long as I can remember, this scale has been my favorite one.

Top 10 Action Figures of 2013 | eBay
I love it when people write about things they just don't understand... the comment about "mutant ninja turtles" having an impressive two points of articulation and Marvel Universe wolverine coming with a BAF Zola part are my favorite. |
guys i don't know if this is the best thing or the worst thing iv ever done seen as i don't have the space i wanted a vehicle for my figures so i just blew £220 on the legacy edition Millennium Falcon it just looks so good and but I lack space and THIS THING IS 2.5 FEET LONG i got it dirt cheap and nothing is missing except the torpedoes and the little chess monsters

I had to google what you were referring to. That thing is freakin awesome! From a diorama standpoint; the hallways and rooms offer so much settings for photography. You could use it for Guardians of the Galaxy, the hull of a shield-carrier, transport, Skrull ship, SWORD, so many things. Sounds like you got a good deal too. Don't know what the retail price goes for anyway.

my bad, no offense meant.

I make very few exceptions to what I collect currently and actively outside of 3.75 so with Multiverse apparently out of the game, and if Marvel ever dumps, I would just stick to spending money on older stuff I don't have and customs.

I think Uncle Arthur was a Madame Warlock.

Vortious posted an update today showing off the custom Radioactive Man I ordered. I got tired of trying to locate the official one at a reasonable price (who I was disappointed was on that buck anyway) so I put together one using a larger buck. Vort even managed to cast the tunic, which came out AWESOME!! I can't wait to get this and paint that thing up. It only needs gold on the star and a little on the eyes. DONE!

http://memegenerator.net/instance/61466304he is really nice. You have amazing recipes my friend! Beefy figure for sure. I has fortunate to land a Radioactive Man for next to nothing when it came out and Baron Zemo was the super high priced figure. Got him $11.99 buy it now, sorry not rubbing it in just saying what it cost. That said, he is a really nice figure, one of top ten for sure. I really like your new one though and eagerly await pics when he arrives!!! Kudos
