I got that MU sandman, is that the one that is more 2.75 than 3.75?

We got that one and gave it to a neighbours kid and will wait until we get an official one

[Jackieboy]

Yup,that's the one.agreed,i would not mind seeing a sandman and vulture being released in MU format.

[Jimmyo]

It is a shame about the scale as it a really nice figure, I would love a Vulture and we do seem to be getting more spidey villians so anything could happen

[Tiberius]

Your retail sounds better than Canadian retail... I am not sure what to think anymore lol.

Its either a feast or a famine.

[MGTAJ]

A guy takes a holiday and we reach page 25! So what's the craic lads? Anything new on the MU front?

[Jackieboy]

we were just discussing the lameness of "3.75" sandman figure.

[spikeyk]

Went to Bristol and Southampton FP yesterday and no new MU

[spikeyk]

and lol

any one used the site Kapow Toys or Star Action figures to pre order anything? I cant decide which one to pre order wave 18 and 19 from. Star Action Figures get there stock from america and are a bit cheeper but dont know which site is best. Thanks in advance guys

I have used both and they were great but star were faster and cheaper

if you were going to do a diorama then Sandman would not be too difficult due to his ability to change scale you could in theory use any size figure as a base and his paint scheme is quite simple.

I just felt that the scale of the figure and the way it was sold was seriously misleading and if I was a kid ordering it I would feel robbed

[Jackieboy]

would sacrifice the legs for a sand base,but finding something that works?i was thinking Marvel legends namor water base,repaint it perhaps?im not really sure.

[Jimmyo]

Sand is real easy to do, all you need is to find a shape that is suitable.

Water down some pva glue, coat the shape in glue then dip it in sand no need to paint or texture as its all done for you you could even spray coat the item to stop looses sand coming off

Thanks I used Star in the end, pre ordered Beast, Scarlett, Punisher and She Hulk! Yay, anybody seen these in the UK yet? Every time I ask forbidden planet they never know and say the website is never right, they sometimes get stock way before there site does

[Lionheart]

Order66 had a batch of these a few weeks ago but I think they might've sold out.

[Jackieboy]

sorry guys today i would have loved to be showing some latest MU's to land over on our side,but it turned out to be a bit of a "red herring" my LCS actually got a different order than the one he was expecting.so looks like i have to resort to online shopping till they arrive,oh and apparently the doc strange/surfer pack is the next to arrive over here,so expect it to turn up at places like FP.

[dragonfall5]

Has anyone seen any of the old TRU Iron Man 2 Fury of Combat 4-packs knocking around? I missed the chance to pick one up dirt cheap when they were selling them off last year locally.

Thanks,
V

[spikeyk]

Havent seen any of the old TRU Iron Man packs around here on a better note i just managed to get a Red Skull for £8 think thats a good price as i havent seen him around before? Also anyone got a clear silver surfer? Was thinking about getting one to use as ice man as hes a bit cheeper but dont know which one is better as they knida look the same, any opinions anyone?

[Sector15]

Hey guys. My youngest has gone on a bit of an Avengers kick. I see Smyths are doing the Hellicarrier for £35 anyone got one? Is it worth it?

[Jimmyo]

My little girl loves her Helicarrier, we got it in a 3 for 2 deal but for £35 it's well worth it. it gives them a platform to play on

You can get Iceman for around £4 delivered from ebay seller happyeverydaysales, I have the clear surfer and the Iceman and prefer the smokey look of the Iceman figure, even if you get the one with the silver x painted on you can remove that with nail polish remover for a classic look

[TheLongestDay]

Picked up an Avengers Black Widow in TESCOS for £6.

Asda still has a pretty big assortment of Avengers,Amazing Spidey and MU but they are STILL around £9 - but they have reduced those TDKR Batman figures to £3...*ahem*

Thanks for the reply, might have to get both now lol £4 sounds lke a good deal for him

[cellardoor]

SpikeyK, I've pre-ordered Punisher, Kang, She-Hulk, Scarlett Witch and Spidey from Star and do so with absolute confidence that i'll get mint fgures as soon as they are available.
I've not seen Beast in the uk anywhere but lucked out and found a US ebayer selling a pretty funky set of Beast, Beta Ray Bill and Kraven for £35 (delivery included). Occasionally it's the only way to go but Star and Kapow are an absolute life-line for collectors.
