Marvel Universe wave 1, reviews and thoughs

I saw the MU figs at Walmart today.

They had the regular MU and the Wolverine Origins, too. I told myself I wouldn't buy any of these and then I saw the Spider-Man one. I passed. They just seem so cheap and flimsy. You guys have a good time, but these figs are definately not for me. I will proudly wait for my 6" figs.
 
I've just invested way tooo much time and money into the 6inch scale. it'd be, on all accounts, asinine and insane to start a new collection at a smaller scale.

Asinine and insane?? Get a grip on reality, its just ****ing action figures. U are way too uptight over this. If you don't want to buy MU or anything 3 3/4" scale then quit wasting your time and especially ours with your rants. Its asinine and insane that you continue to ramble on an on and on. Why not just stay outta this thread and save yourself the trouble of throwing a hissy fit??? Its seriously redundant having you continue to rant over and over about it when you just grow up and not even let it waste any of your time being worked up about it. Its a free world, say what you want and do what you want but when you have such freedoms why waste it *****in and complaining about **** that you hate???

bats i'm really not in the mood for your button pushing today. All i need to say is it's asinine and insane for me. Because money is tight, they don't visually interest me. And there not just figures, they are a hobby that is very important to me, and there also $$$ something i am seriously in debt with right now and struggling to get by as it is. I don't need to be buying much of anything right now, let alone things that i'm not "thrilled" about anyway.
 
I think I might stop getting these.

I dunno. I have Black Panther, Iron Man and Silver Surfer......I think I just don't need another scale.

But having some of the new characters would be great (Maverick, Klaw, Wrecking crew)

I might get that giant two pack for the sentinel....depending on what it looks like.....but yeah, I think I may just get stricktly 6 inch
 
Well I just entered all the codes at furyfiles.com. They give you another SHEILD document. Like Silver Sufers is a memo from Tony Stark about cloning him too.
 
o come on, its one thing for tony to clone Thor, but he's no Mr. Sinister, he doesn't need to be cloning Norrin too.

That's weird. I don't know what I was expecting, but that doesn't sound very cool. Hmmmp
 
True. I would pick up a Giant Man if it was decent looking.

I had a feeling it wouldn't be much. Hasbro has done this sort of thing before. When Transformers Cybertron was running all the cyber key's had a code on them. That unlocked a similar text on the TF website.
 
My friend bought brown Wolverine and Spider-man.Saw them and They're just too small for me.
 
I got a couple of the figures. Thus far I've only opened and checked out Iron Man, Captain America, and Wolverine Origins leather jacket logan, and lumberjack logan.

I think both lines have had different designers and thus are not consistent. MU has ball jointed shoulders/biceps but GI Joe style hips (hasbro hips). Wolverine origins has GI Joe/Star Wars arms, but ball jointed hips (ML style).

I can't really say "oh, the sculpts suck". They're a smaller scale and won't be amazing, but the sculpts are pretty good. There's a couple over TERRIBLE faces (yellow/blue wolvy and yellow/brown wolvie, Green Goblin, Punisher). Cap's head is tiny on a larger body. Iron Man is all around solid. But Hasbro also has had some terrible sculpts, terrible paint, and even worse articulation on their 6" stuff. So really, saying if one scale is better than another based on articulation, sculpt, and paint is really pointless. 6" ML have had some major duds and so will MU.

But to collect in this scale or not to collect in the scale? FTB and Spideyboy have been going back and forth like a bitter old married couple. Both scales have their pros and cons and it's going to come down to personal preference. I enjoy the smaller scale to a degree because I mix brands, so Hulk will probably be posed pounding storm troopers while Wolverine battles with cobra troopers. But everyone has their personal reasons and it's rude, idiotic, and just flat stupid to be saying that those reasons are wrong.

It's unfortunate that our beloved 6" scale hasn't been given the treatment it deserves. It's ridiculous for Hasbro to think they can sell us the same characters again but at a different scale (even though Hasbro's main sales technique is to sell the same character over and over again with minor differences). But, we're all going to waste our money in the way we see fit.

So eat it.

From what I've heard they are just reissuing Galactus and the Sentinel.....I don't know what this giant Skrull is goign to be.
 
sadly reissued sentinels/galactus won't be given the same toybiz paint job :(, but i might be interested in a few 2 or 3 sentinels
 
The Giant Man/Goliath that they showed coming with Iron Man is supposed to use the Icons Cyclops body, so I'm betting that all of them will be around the same size.
 
^^ Nice! Icons sized Giant Man seems like it would fit in great with 6" ML Avengers.

hmmm really? if so, that'd be awesome, as long as the scale isn't shrunk
 
Hopefully, a store near me has these figures by now. As I have said, I just can't wait to pick these up.
 
Are these as possible as the 25th anniv. G.I. Joes? And if so ,can someone take pics of them in various poses please and thank you
 
Lars' very first post in this very thread isn't good enough for you? :huh:

They have similar hip joints to Joe's. And the none super poseable body that Punisher and Black Panther use are very similar to a Joe. The super poseable body that Daredevil and Spider-man have is like a mini-HML.
