Marvel 3 3/4'' figure collector's iPhone app
 

There's a great free app that I've been using called "Marvel Edition Collection," I think. It's esentially an advanced checklist and want list with pictures of all available Marvel 3 3/4'' figures, as well as Marvel Legends, Marvel select, and the 1984 Secret Wars line. I found it just doing a search for Marvel apps, and I highly reccommend it. I've used it for months and it has been great, but it is NOT updated past the most recent Marvel Universe line (the one w/ Cable), doesn't have the Thor and Captain America lines, not to mention further announced Marvel Universe waves. Does anyone else use this app (you should), and if so, do you know how we can get the creators to update the list? I would love it if the creators kept it updated and running.

I use the app, If I'm not mistaken someone on here created it,.. I've had it for a while, and it's been updated once, but it takes a lot of time and effort to find and label pics etc for the update.. so whenever buddy get a chance there will be another update in the meantime, try to achieve all on the list first lol.

Sounds cool, where's the Android love?

I also use this app. Really useful despite the simple GUI.

It's great to know that the guy who made this app is from this forum. Maybe we could encourage him to update it. I even rated 5 stars so I could post a message encouraging him to update it. Last update was December 2010.

Hey guys! Sorry I hadn't updated the app in so long... it's updated now with Captain America and Thor, et al... (super thanks to Ed Slak, who gathered all the update info for me)

Please, please, please feel free to contact me directly when another update is needed. I've got several of these apps out there (all free!) and it is impossible for me to keep track of all the updates on my own. Sometimes people leave comments in the app review about updates, but I don't get the chance to see those too often (there aren't alerts generated when reviews are posted).

So, that being said, I hope you are enjoying the app (15,000 downloads strong, by the way, so clearly SOMEONE is enjoying it!). I do not make any money on it (the ad revenue barely covers the Apple developer fee) so please only use kind words when I make mistakes :)

My direct website is Three Brothers Apps, and, full disclaimer, I do have a plug for my $0.99 children's app over there, which I am trying to drum up support for...

Thanks for all the feedback so far, and I look forward to hearing from you all,
Zack

Awesome! I'll download this today. If you're keeping up with it, you should charge at least .99 for the app.

Nah! If you want to spend $0.99 to support my work, buy my Baby's First Monsters app :) I like the idea of keeping these checklist apps free... since I rely so heavily on the collector community for images and update information, I just prefer keeping it free to everyone...

replaced app with Toy Collector (still free!)
 

Hey all - I'm still hard at work at keeping these apps up and free... I've recently combined them all into one mega app called "Toy Collector" -

I'm certain Marvel needs a few updates. If any of you use the app (or want to check it out) and can let me know what is missing, I'll add it right away!

Thanks,
Zack

Seconded.

It's amazing how many requests I get for a droid version... I would absolutely love to do one, but I don't know how to program in droid and I don't have the free time to learn (it's hard enough keeping it updated!) - find me a programmer and I'll work with them to get it on android!

Zack

I've been using it for months. My only two complaints is it shuts down unexpectly sometimes and the updates ar slow. Overall it's a good ap.

Spade, I'm assuming you've been using the Collection (Marvel Edition) app and not the newer Toy Collector app? I've been updating Toy Collector almost weekly and the crashes should be a thing of the past. The stand alone Marvel Edition (as well as all the others) are slowly being phased out and all future updates will be in Toy Collector (Apple requested I combined them all into one app). You can get Toy Collector here: goo.gl/LCAEx

I recently added an export feature into Marvel Edition so you can send your checklist data over to Toy Collector.

If you are experiencing crashes in Toy Collector (or notice some figures need to be added) let me know.

Thanks,
Zack

Thanks for making this app. I too found it on my own searching for Marvel apps. I upgraded to Toy Collector recently. I happen to collect all Marvel 3.75" regardless of quality. Are the Ultimate Spider-Man and Iron Man 3 lines going in soon (or are they already there?)

I don't think I have either of those lines in the 3.75" section - any chance you are interested in helping me fill in the gaps?

Zack

Considering that they're literally just now hitting stores, might a be a while before someone can get enough to help, I reckon.

I've got every figure released so far in both lines (a total of 12 so far). I can help.

Waitwhat. Looks like I need to take a daytrip to the Emerald City when I get paid. I still haven't seen a single of the 3.75s in these lines other than the Tony and Patriot I got from China.

I actually live on the east side and got most of them in Everett and Redmond.

Zach, shoot me a PM with your gmail address if you have one. I have a shared google doc with what I consider to be every known Marvel 3.75" figure in every possible line, including garbage that most people here don't collect. Hope it helps. It's like 600 lines.

Cheers,
Train

Do you mind if I get in on that, too? I'm always looking for something new and out there.

Thanks for all the help, Trainwreck! 1.2.0 had 50 or so figures added and 1.2.1 has another 50 or so on the way. Couldn't have done it without that spreadsheet. You rock!
