Probably something to do with Ecclestons likeness in the movie line. What we can do is get the Vort Malekith head on a Dark Elf with a black robe. I'd rather have Dark Elves than Frost Giants.

I know this is a stretch, but I use the SDCC Destro as a Malekith in human disguise since it's the same actor.

Totally agree. Though I like both.

It is complete and ready to break anything in it's path!

AM I GLAD TO KNOW ABOUT THE CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON HEAD! My need for a 9th Doctor custom base has been satisfied!


Now excuse me, I'm gonna go clean up the water I spit out when I read that.

I picture Il Cattivo walking into a store looking for that one missing toy he's been wanting for a while, very mysteriously, and in the background you just hear......

lol

love me some ennio morricone.

Can someone post a pic of the Steel Beam Hulk next to the ML BAF Hulkbsuter?

I don't understand why you'd need the BAF when the bootleg is actually in scale and no badly articulated. And it costs a tenth of the price.

I heard Tigra ? how much was she and how long does it take I'm desperate to get a custom

so I was thinking about my old Toybiz x-men today and decided to make a list of Xmen figures toybiz made, that we are yet to see in any 3.75" line and mos we probably never will. Unless you collected X-men in the early 90's you will probably not know who some of these are...

I was thinking it would be awesome if Hasbro stole a page out of Neca's playbook and made a retro line of modern 3.75" figures biased on the classic 90's Toybiz figs.

took some quick comparison pics.

scale-wise the BAF looks pretty spot on to me. stark's entire body is inside of the hulkbuster's torso right? I think it is.

bootleg hulkbuster is still awesome though btw :)

That would be amazing. Man, how I wish Toybiz had the Marvel rights. At this point Hasbro should make some type of deal to share rights with Toybiz so that they could produce 3 3/4" figures. We've gotten a glimpse of what Toybiz can do with this scale and it was freaking amazing considering the small effort (well it wasn't necessarily a small effort but it paled in comparison with that they were doing with the 6" line. But you get what I mean) they put in the SHS line. Imagine if they put real effort into them! The figures they would make would be amazing!

Toybiz was owned by marvel, they disintegrated during marvel's bankruptcy. it's a shame too, they just launched ML showdown line right before they died.

The X-men I want aren't so much the 90s ones, but the more recent ones. I like 00s Era X-men, specifically the younger ones. I really want figures of Pixie, Dust, Surge, Bling!... it's a shame they sidelined the X-men so much that these will always remain obscure character. Pixie is the only one I can see getting a figure. Unless they do a dedicated X-men wave.

I would also like a decent Siryn figure(since there aren't really any other Irish lasses!).

Trying to make a sleeveless aou Thor out of Thor 2 figs the head swap is easy but the cape is different and a bit hard tom remove because its super glued in any ideas how to get the glue to unstick.

I was just about to ask you for this kind of picture. Now I am without a doubt going to get that Hulkbsuter figure sooner or later. Hopefully I can score it at NJCC for a price I'm comfortable with.

Pixie would give Hasbro an opportunity to get some more mileage out of the Wasp body, just cast the wings in like a purplish pink, maybe even do the sparkle effect like Vision's cape. give her X-23 lower arms and boots, plus we could get a decent modern hair sculpt on a female if they went with a new head.
as far as Siryn goes, we still haven't gotten Banshee! and the embargo on X-force seems to be worse than X-men! look at Cannonball, dude was a new mutant, a member of the original X-force, and an X-Man and he still can't get a figure! and poor Forge, he was awesome and a very important X-man as recently as the Wolverine and the X-men cartoon but he's been shut out.

Thanks. While we're at it, does anyone know of a Hulk that's tall enough to be at the reactor of this Hulkbsuter? This one's too small for me.

The SHS figures I have mostly fall apart if you look at them funny.
I only have the Punisher and Ironman figure though. Punisher still sits in my MU/I collection as my Frank Castle figure, but that Ironman figure sits in my Ironman armory and falls apart pretty regularly. Like literal bisection at the waist. From what I've seen and heard, there were only maybe 3 decent figures from SHS. Mole Man, The Ketch Ghost Rider, and Beast.

Also, Toy Biz is now Marvel Toys, and they may not be in business anymore anyway.

The last thing they still had the license to that I'm aware of was Curious George after their independent comics legends waves didn't really sell. The one that had the Pitt BAF and made a Witchblade and Darkness figure among others.

The company itself was kind of floundering even before Hasbro bought the Marvel figure rights.


-Edit-
Yeah. In 2008 Marvel Toys (formerly Toy Biz) dissolved. They no longer exist.

I want most of the New X-men from academy X too. Pixie, Dust, Surge, Rockslide, Anole, and Mercury would be awesome to have! And they could toss Dani Moonstar in that wave too since she was one of the teachers/counselors. Siryn would be epic too! I'm still wondering why we haven't seen a Black Tom and Juggernaut comic pack even. You'd think with the Deadpool movie coming up, they'd do a comic pack of them, and then one of Siryn and Deadpool. (One of his original mini-series had all 4 of them in it.)

the Toybiz story...

SHS was a decent line, the sculpts and articulation on Venom, Thor and Doc Ock are still head and shoulders above anything Hasbro has put out. keep in mind SHS only got a few waves out, if they had a couple years to refine and adapt to that scale (and get rid of the "game" aspect) I'm sure the QC issues would have been cleared up. but Snow's right on some of them, I have a spidey that regularly has his lower half fall off just sitting on the stand.

Thanks for the pics il cavito! Now I need that baf hulk buster. I've heard the china bay version is a stinker.
I'd take any mutants at this point. Legends got a new rogue so there is hope. As for me, gotta get a spiral and forge someday, and need a complete X factor team with ape man beast.

Oh I disagree there were a lot of good Marvel Legends Showdown figures. You just happen to have 2 of the bad ones.

I did switch Venom heads. I don't like the tongue sticking out.

Silver Surfer, Green Goblin, Thor, Thing, Beast, dark Beast, Magneto, Venom, Moleman
Spidey & Wolverine get lots of praise too.
Then there were the ones before MU got better versions..
Namor, Daredevil, Hulk, Human Torch

Colossus & Dr. Doom are different costume versions

Their Captain America shield is the best one too.

The game part really sabotaged its success.
