  1. That was a great read, I really enjoyed it. Nice humor and characters too! I love seeing what aciton figures are capable of being used for, thanks for the effort and entertainment. :)
  2. Thanks man. I don't have much to trade at the moment, I keep my buying pretty tight. If I do come across some extra stuff I'll pm you. Yeah, haha, those are mostly empty boxes, I keep all of my MOC on a piece of pegboard, and the extra lined up on the wall.
  3. Got these two guys in the mail today, I'm really happy with both. There are a couple of small paint app things with Warpath (excess paint coming his finger on the left hand, and a tiny bit of silver overlap under his nose, right side) but it's not very noticeable. The Kree soldier is great, I'm going to use him as Captain Marvel probably.
  4. As bad as it is that people lose their jobs, that's the reality of the world we live in. I think product quality has gone up tremendously, and I prefer my figures anatomically correct and in scale with each other.
  5. Here's my haul for today, finally got the camera stuff working so I have a picture! CA Ultimate Captain America CA Battlefield Captain America SWCW39 Hondo Ohnaka SWCW55 Savage Opress (shirtless)
  6. Yeah, Archangel is definitely using the Bucky Body, which is great because of two things. One, it looks good and functions well (I presume), and two, it has no sculpted belt so it works great for characters like Archangel who don't have a belt!
  7. Okay, not MU, but still pretty cool. I went to Walmart the other night to grab the new GI Joe Renegades Duke that had been there awhile, and he was gone. So last night I went back and they had put a new case out, I grabbed all four of the Renegades figures which I really, really like. So why can't they fill MU when it sells out? They both sell at about the same speed.
  8. It's hard to tell if something is the standard by only a few waves, but it looks like it's going to get some use. I can only compare it to the 3.75" version, which has less artic obv, but I prefer this body style the ball joints myself. I think Hasbro has been making some great progress, and I hope bodies like this become the standard (I reserve the right to change my opinion once I get the figure, lol).
  9. I voted for Modern Havok, who I think was done horribly in MU and the ML prototype actually looked pretty nice. I'd really like White Phoenix, but with 90s Jean on the way I can wait. Brother Voodoo would be great, as well as Dark Ms. Marvel.
  10. Awesome, thanks. Yeah, I tried them after I bought like five, haha, and it wasn't very pretty. Thanks, I get some acrylics.
  11. What kind of paint do you guys use? I've tried the model kit enamels, and like Onyx they don't seem the best way to go. I like that Silver Surfer, although I still can't stand the head sculpt. I haven't seen a Silver Surfer figure I like yet though. It's too bad Hasbro won't made a body just for Silver Surfer that had a sense of the liquid like quality he has.
  12. Yeah, I probably wouldn't have gotten Thor if I saw them in store, but it was a package deal. Yeah, I feel you there, my wallet is really aching after all of these releases, lol.
  13. Loki is definitely comic acurrate, he is practically leaping of the pages accurate. The problem is the artic & lack of accessories. I still picked up on online and I'm super excited, I love the sculpt. If anyone comes up with any mods or good accessories to use with him let us know please.
  14. I got Comic Thor & Loki loose of ebay for a great deal, I'm happy. I still can't find them in store. I do want Fury but I'm in no rush. Now if I can find a good deal on the SDCC Thor I'll be in business! Got have those matching pupilless eyes, lol.
  15. New: 1. The Protector 2. Nighthawk 3. Gamora 4. Star-Lord 5. Darkhawk (Modern) 6. Venom (Flash Thompson) 7. Young Loki (does that count? lol) 8. Prince of Orphans 9. Mockingbird 10.

  16. My Walmart finally got some new MU! Wave 16, which doesn't surprise me (Target is just now getting Wave 15, regular not revision). I got there and there was still one Wolvie, Magneto, Iceman, Tony Stark Iron Man, 2x Flesh Absorbing Man, Commander Rogers, and Namor. I bought both of the Absorbing Man (cause I figure he is the variant, right??) and another Rogers b/c the eyes look good and full. Still no Loki though! Argh!
  17. No more Walmart exclusives, no more retail exclusives, please, please, please. It's just bad distro every time. In fact, I would rather take my chances with a Comic Con exclusive than a Walmart/Target exclusive. That's just me though.. I'm sure they'll find a way to release him as part of a regular wave, just like they did with MU Professor X. I think there is a better chance of him not having a BAF than being released in a box. Especially given the size of the new packaging. I hope they do X-Force first, I always found the original costume's colors unappealing and dated, even in the 90s. I've always preferred Archangel in his Blue/White (no headdress) Angel costume. That won't happen though.
  18. Checked out the good Target in my area, they had two full cases of Wave 15 on an end cap, and two Namor's left over on the shelf, but no Wave 16. I already have 2x Wave 15 so I didn't need anymore, even though I did sort of want a 3rd Commander Rogers, lol. I still can't find 6" Loki, not a single Walmart in my area, three of them, have those figures. So yeah, seems like we're all finding Wave 15 now.
  19. I'm pretty sure Piledriver has had normal side hands for a pretty long time, like 20 years or so. I understand the want for them though. Even though I'm not a Wrecking Crew fan, I think it's cool to just be getting these guys in ML, that said I do complain about my fair share of minor details. I'm not very happy to hear about the Steve Rogers issue. Why if the MU version has the stars, why can't the ML version? let me be the judge of whether I want chipping paint or not, this isn't a kids line after all, I'm not going to play with it until it breaks. Give us the stars, and make the electric shield the regular version. WTF, Commander Rogers hasn't used the regular Cap shield, and now it's been destroyed anyway. Edit: Another thing just hit me, I want a Bucky Cap with a Bucky head. One that is comic correct (not like the MS one, his hair is too short), and not fugly like the Winter Soldier sculpt (honestly, that doesn't look like Bucky at all to me, just the hair & mask). If Daken gets a 2nd head packed in, why can't Bucky have one? Plus Bucky has shoulder stars, why not make it work for Rogers? Different arms I guess, ugh. So many "excuses".
  20. Yeah, I doubt it will go down that way, I hope they make the figure eventually though. I'd really like his second X-Force costume, which is like an imbetween classic Archangel and Archocalypse. I know I won't get that either, lol. I hope since Angel is being released in MU we'll get him in ML soon. Hmm, well Tarot, the only reason I chose X-Force with a classic variant is I think it's more likely, especially since it seems to be the pattern. X-Force Warpath, regular variant, X-Force Fantomex... variant?, etc. That and Hasbro must still value the Toy Biz Astonishing Wolverine b/c they scaled down his head and used it for the MU version.
  21. Even though I voted X-Force/Classic variant, I would much prefer for Archangel X-Force and a Apocalypse's Heir Archangel variant. For the others, X-Force then a regular variant.
  22. Ah I see, oh well. The only time I saw one was the Bill Foster pack, which was on clearance. The box was too damaged for me to pay what they were asking even on clearance, and I only wanted it MOC. Doubt I'll ever see a Frost Giant in the wild, I'll get one eventually though.
  23. I have 2 Frost Giants and 1 Bill Foster. Man I need a Frost Giant pack, lol. Do you mean your Walmart still has them, or you have them?
  24. Seriously, if anyone wants to pick one up for me, you know since you guys don't want them, I'd be in their debt. lol
  25. I read a ton of stuff, Captain America, X-titles, Avengers titles, cosmic titles, FF, Spiderman titles, Fear Itself, etc. Got Sunfire last and a Falcon to open (his arm popped off in the package, going to have fix that at some point to strengthen the socket). Love both of them, although Sunfire isn't picture, I might leave him MOC for now.
