had to place these duplicates somewhere. funny how some figs end up being cooler than when you looked at it in its pkg, once you figure out a cool pose.

Anybody got a Maria Hill for sale? :P

Thats got to be one awesome cubicle. Love it. I like the pose you did for falcon. Nice work on the display. More!!!

I also wanted to commend all of the great pictures I've been seeing lately and Scythe's art project. This is a great thread to follow!

Now here's some FF appreciation!

Sweet pictures. I've been tempted to do a johnny storm like that too.

Same here. I have a few local friends where we can indulge in our collecting habits. My previous roomate greenskar is the one who convinced me to start up collecting and on this site. He started the showcase thread,"our ever growing marvel universe" and I've been hooked since then. Ppl will come over amazed at the collection I have. Luckily, my girlfriend is appreciating the collection more and more.

I started off with collection the joe's 25th anniversary line when they came out. The nostalgia brought me back then I transitioned into mu. I line this scale. Swapping posts and accessories is the best for this scale.

Started collecting joes once more after Hasbro dropped that horrible sigma line. I amassed a large collection of joes,sw and mu then gave away everything but mu

Terrible to hear that. I'm imagining a huge gi joe collection.

Do both.

That's fine and dandy for those who can, shit I could if I wanted as I'm pretty well off, but why though? I can't justify such high prices for toys, I only lay down top dollar for electronics that help my occupation. The whole market value thing is lost on me. That wasn't the deciding factor to when deciding between MU or ML. Scale was.

Some of my all time favs were 90s Beast, Colossus, both tiger striped and brown Wolverine, Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Bishop, Iron Fist and Power-Man, the 6 pack Spidey, Green Goblin, and Lizard, Dr. Octopus, and wave 3 Thor. I could go on and on. So many Awesome figures.

But when they missed, it was disgusting. Lady Deathstrike, Zemo, Cyclopes, Angel, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Movie Jean. Again, I could go on and on.

I'm a consistency man, I like all my figures to be in scale and in a similar style. Really easy to notice when they're not at 6".

But still the same issues plague MU. Just not as much. I can deal with a crappy figure here and there. But when it's a character you really like and want, and he comes out all messed up it can make you want to cry.

I like that things seem to improve as time goes on with Hasbro. They're cheap as hell, but the have some innovative ways of doing things. All the soft plastic accessories they use instead of making new sculpts works really well and is a plus for customizers. The fact that they keep on adding new articulation to sculpts. Still waiting for an ab crunch. But the best thing about the line in my opinion is the scale. saves so much space and fit's with all the other lines and opens things up for those wanting to go deeper and deeper into the craze that can be collecting. I'm looking at you WalkingDeadpool.

So to get to my point, I sold off 98% of my ML collection and with the exception of missing a few from time to time (Power-Man + iron Fist) I really could care less. MU is an Awesome line. It's like meeting a great lady after you've had your heart broken. You find something good enough and you just move on. Sure you think about her sometimes, but that shit passes quick when you got something sweet to appreciate.

Greenskar is trying to get new into collecting ml. Its pandora's box. I caved when u bought the x force set at sdcc. I'm only getting this group and I'm fine with ml (yeah right I know) but thats what I tell myself.
