Can't be the new wave. Not even come out properly in the US yet. Must be Aurora, etc...

Id say just over £650 - £700

So since I got rid of my display cabinet...this is what my Marvel collection looks like :/

ukmu · 02-28-2015, 03:59 AM

Send them to Leeds and I will look after them! I would like some shots of that Coulson!!!

A Friend · 02-28-2015, 05:48 AM

Found a lone Marvel Legends Allfather BAF wave Hawkeye in my local Toys R Us among the Captain America Legends figures this morning. Bought it straight away and got the AOU Hulk and Hulkbuster set from Argos too. Not a bad day!

ukmu · 02-28-2015, 07:04 AM

Argos huh? How does Hulkbuster look next to mu?

It's much taller than I expected it to be but maybe not quite compatible with the MU stuff. Not sure how big the Hulkbuster suits have been in the comics though. Hulk's pretty much toe to toe with it in this pic.

Seems to be about the same size as an MU Iron Man armour

Yeah, he's pretty much the same size as the Bleeding Edge armour Iron Man. Wouldn't it have to be a little taller to really be in scale with the MU figures though?

Only by an inch or two

ukmu · 02-28-2015, 10:10 AM

I would like a nice 5.5" one....Dr. Who size

TheLongestDay · 02-28-2015, 10:13 AM

Mini-haul today - these figs might not be everyones cup of tea but the villains are cool to have IMO

A Friend · 02-28-2015, 10:35 AM

Ah, the Green Goblin. Easily the hardest to find of those figures. I've only seen five or six of them and hundreds of the others.

Just tried uploading a photo but failed, seeing we're showing off our hauls today, I know its not relevant to the 3.75 guys but seeing as I've just got into this game I couldn't pass up. I bought the full set of the Spiderman Legends Infinite at Smyth's toy store, they were reduced from 16.99 to 6.99 each, is this right are they really touching 17quid each? Anyway was like a big kid, heart pumping as I thought I was getting such a bargain, people must have thought I was a weirdo going through them all trying get the best boxes. Anyway might not be what I set out to can llect but who knows they are ace

I replaced that lesser articulated Goblin body with the Green Goblin from the first TASM comic line, DeHaan head and glider, and it's not bad IMHO

ukmu · 03-01-2015, 03:16 AM

Have been looking at Argos and they have Age Of Ultron playmates there now. 20 quid each and all three assemble into the large Stark Tower playmate.

Forget the scale of the 2.5" figures, and never mind some of the goofy paint applications. Looking at its size, shape and stickers...this is a must have for us!!! Paint the red white and blue Cap middle to Gray, paint the purple and green Hulk bottom to same Gray and add touches of that same Gray to the top Iron Man part. Add some MU scale bits and bobs and BOOM..... Avengers playset!!!!

The Argos pics show the things partially assembled and kid playing with them. Now that I have seen the kid I can judge it's overall size better. Also after Longest posted that pic yesterday showing the Hulk Buster next to MI Hulk I have measured it up and am VERY happy with the results.

Pretty sure it will be on offer come autumn, but I may just pick one up at a time until the release next month. Always some new loophole thrown in to Bugger my toy budget!!!! I certainly did not foresee the 2.5" playmates as a MUST HAVE a few days ago.

Buy Hulk Buster Breakout; includes Hulk and Hulk Buster figures at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Action figures and playsets.

I'm not sure, UKMU. The tallest figure is the Hulkbuster, and seeing him in the sections just seems too big.

Ahem, that was me actually. It's a Sunday morning though so I'll forgive you!

ukmu · 03-01-2015, 04:48 AM

Yes yes yes...... My sincere apologies A Friend!!!!!

I know it is small and not ideal.... But with some paint and added playset pieces along with new weapons, I think we can shape it into setting decent. Anyways son just usually stacks the empty boxes the MU live in when playing to make a Stark Tower, so this will be better any way.
