FTB's HAVES/WANTS Thread 1-25-06

what's your opinion on the DCD joker Guy? I saw it at the comic shop today and came close to buying. I'm pretty sure you're not talking about this joker though.

no the Joker we're talking about is the Alex Ross one that comes out in May...I'm guessing you saw the Long Halloween Joker, or the Unmasked Joker, both have been released recently, and while I do like the both of them for entirely different reasons, I have my Hush Joker and when I have my Ross I won't need any others....


Unless they release a Brian Bolland Joker

FTB-
I sent Batista today. I think it's all I have for you currently.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

it's the hush joker i was talking about. was in a blue box. sorry for my ignorance, i'm not into DC stuff yet. I dont think i could my wallet could get me into seriously collecting them, but i'm tempted with some. At least one's i'm familiar with. I stuck to marvel comics, but i did watch the batman animated show.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

is IMO in my opinion? just curious, i see it all the time

Yessa'.

 

[Guy Gardner]

^ It's cool, don't worry about ignorance, we all have bouts of it from time to time

But the Hush Joker is by far my favorite of all the Joker's DCD has released, I love Jim Lee's style and I loved the HUSH storyline so it all just fell into place, the only two critques I have of it are that the gun doesn't come out of the right hand (kind of a moot point since he's still in his box) and that he doesn't look as menacing as I would've liked...if you've seen Lee's art from that story you know what I mean.

But if you have the chance to nab him and the price is right do it, you'll be happy to have him in the collection

If he had a Santa hat then I do not like it at all.

If he had a big long silver revolver in his hand with a "BANG!" flag at the ned then thats the Joker I have.

Yes. Thats it for now. Your stuff is on the way.

Y'know what looks kinda cool. The Joker head that the Red Hood fig comes with on the Hush Joker's body. Thats how I have my Joker for now. I like it, looks pretty cool.

 

[Guy Gardner]

That is a good idea, probably as close to a Bolland Joker as I'll ever see

i got the dc superheros bane figure a month or so back. but man, i saw the new bane, i think he's new at least, the same one in the line with catwoman. He looks so freakin big. i really wish i wouldnt have gotton the other one now.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

hey FTB-you don't know someone that i could get a Marvel Select Captain America for a good deal do ya?

The Knightfall Bane is new. He came out last Wednesday. He stands 8" tall, maybe a lil over. Bad ass fig. I have been waiting for this fig for quite some time. Just needed some bulging veins like the DCSH one, but its all good nonetheless.

Had you asked 2 weeks ago or so I woulda traded you mine. He's gone now though.

Sorry, i didn't even think about it until i saw the avengers movie. I dont even know if i was posting two weeks ago though. I can't remember. insomnia is leaving its mark on me and my mind's all screwed up. staring at the computer for hours at night probably doesnt help much either. but what do i know?

I honestly don't even know where that cap goes as far as the comics. I imagine they made it up more recently, its not from old comics right? Have you seen him displayed or out of box or anything? Is it worth getting? I'd only be interested in hunting him down if he was on scale with ML.

I may fall week to bane's power and get that one too. Amanda goes to the comic shop with me on wednesdays and when i start wandering into the section of other figs besides marvel and MS, she starts blocking me. I'm getting the feeling she doesnt want me to start collecting any other figures.

That rendition is from the Ultimates, which is the Ultimate Marvel universes version of the Avengers. You must get the trade paperbacks and read this comic. Its is damn good.

Also, I started getting the Punisher TPBs from the MAX line, very damn cool.

thanks. Are th paperbacks still in print? Would they be hard to find? Like I said before, I am a little out of phase the current comic story lines b/c I have to do all this reading for classes. I kind of screwed around my freashmen year, so now i'm trying to maintain all A's best I can.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

I don't mean to bug ya about this, but let me know as soon as you get that doom so i'll know you got it. thanks.

Oh yeah, they are definitely in print. They are fairly new. I'm pretty sure that this one I'm reading is the first Punisher stories under the Marvel MAX line.

There was a 12 issue maxi-series that started it off though and that was under Marvel Knights I believe. I'm sure if you go to a comic shop they'll know what you mean if you ask to see the newer Punisher books.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

No problem. I'll try and make it up there tomorrow, if not this weekend sometime. I'll let you know either way.

Sounds good man. Try to make a mental note of anything else they may have loose their and prices if you can. I have no idea how much stuff they have, so don't kill yourself doing so. If you remember anything off the top of your head you can list a couple things.

I'll probably get back on later tonight and I imagine you're working so i'll probably see you here later. I'm going blow off the dust of my ps2 and play that Gun game. I got it for x-mas and havent played it yet b/c. ttyl.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

They had a few other loose figures but nothing spectacular. I think there was a Buzzing Beetle for $5.

Don't worry about buzzing beetle. I already have one. He's an ok fig, but i wish they would've done his regular classic costume. I don't keep up with much of the ultimates stuff like i said, but the beetles ultimate costume is really sweet too and i hardly like any of the ultimate designs. I saw him on the Ultimate Spidy game.

If you ever see or get the opportunity to pick up a loose rhino from the Fearsome Foes boxset, I'd be greatly appreciative. But don't go out of your way, just keep an eye open.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

I was going tell you something to about spring break. I'm still going home first thing, not this weekend, but the next. So i'll have time to go to those WM to look for stuff. Then I'm going to the beach with amanda to stay with my cousin a couple days. I may hit WM if i get the chance to see what they have. And finally, i can look at Amanda's town when we go there the last weekend of spring break. There's really nothing to do in her town but go to WM and a city half hour away. She picked up a bunch of old stuff for me once during x-mas break, so i might be able to find some good stuff. If your list has changed from what you wanted originally, just let me know and I'll keep my eyes open.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Sounds cool. I'll be sure to update it by then. Just remind me a few days prior. just in case.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

Sounds good.
