The New Stuff I Got Thread Reboot - Part 2

[Thwip!]

i love that spidey in the pic with goblin, picked one up recently at a local market

Me too, granted it's more statuesque than figure but my word I love it

Very cool new acquisitions. Cave man Hulk is certainly interesting.

I've added the classic Iron Man helmet (that came with the Legends figure) to his hand now for added effect.

Hulk is Select Barbarian Hulk minus the bone necklace (as I don't particularly like it) and he's standing on the base from Man-Spider (I think the base suits him better than it does Man-Spider)

Arkham City: Killer Croc - a little more expensive than i would've liked but the detail is fantastic and he's absolutely huge, the batman from the same set only comes upto his waist was so frightened there would be quality control issues as i've seen alot of stories of his arm falling off right out of the box, glad to say mine was fine

The Dark Knight - Soundtrack

Goldeneye and sonic and the black knight for wii

that goblin is still awful, why the hell didn't they match the green paint on his face to body? it looks so bizarre

Almost done! Over the last few days, I won (and got great deals on) Human Torch, Ultimate War Machine, and Kang. Now all I need is Vision.

 

[Rob3880]

Anyone find the Legends Mark 42, Iron Patriot, or Ultron yet ? Mine are scheduled to be delivered on Friday. Damn slow UPS. I can't wait to see them in person. My Iron Man armory is getting huge. With those two I'll be up to 28. I would like to have it be 50 strong eventually, but I'll have to hunt down every movie figure. Very doable though. Once Ares is complete I'll need a new project.

 

[Rob3880]

Hellz yeah!!! Just a few months away!! I just put in my pre-order!

Awesome! Is it possible to pre order just 1 or 2 figures?

I'm sure they will have pre-orders for the individual figures too. They usually do.

I hope it's Wrecker, masked Hawkeye, and Jim Lee Jean Grey that go out first. I just hope we don't have to wait forever to get Bulldozer. I wonder if Blade will be shipping with those cases?

 

[Rob3880]

So I just went to Walmart. The only new stuff they had was the Superman stuff.. Those Movie Masters figures are soooo bad. That is one lame Superman. I was hoping they'd be a little better this time around, but it appears like Movie Masters will forever suck.

But they don't give you a choice on the variant figures. If I spent good money on a Hawkeye and got that modern leather costume ********, I'd be pissed.

Don't worry, only one will be available initially anyway, and I'm sure we'll be finding out which one soon. I'm sure it will be the old costume first.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i was really hoping "Phoenix" and "jean grey" would be packaged separately... I want AOA jean more than White Phoenix, but i'm sure the one i want will be the rarest :/

Hasbro treats us customers like mushrooms... They feed us $h!t and keep us in the dark. I don't understand why they can't ever give us any solid info about their products. It is maddening.

 

[Rob3880]

Some more awesome mail. Awesome timing, as I just saw IM3 last night. I hope they give us a few more waves. I want more of the 42 in figure form... I want all of them!! They should make a massive 42 figure box set, sell it for $300-400. I would buy it.

I so can't wait for ultron... These better show up in stores soon!!

 

[Rob3880]

He definitely gets a bum rap. I think it's pretty rad.. I would like to get 3 or 4 more, and use them as soldiers and use the Select Ultron as Ultron prime. It is soooo much better than the Legendary Riders version.

And the Mark 42 looks absolutely amazing in person. The paint looks amazing and they get every detail right. Really impressive... Ditto with the Iron Patriot. I wish they woukd give us an Extremis Iron Man with this kind of quality.

Awesome! Thanks, Rob, you da man! Hey, how does that Ultron stack up against the Select version? I like your army idea, but if you were to only have 1 Ultron, would you get Select or the ML version?

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I think scale wise ML ultron looks best (the new one). he's also more of a modern look. But the MS ultron is great if you're going for more of the classic perez era in your avengers. I think it depends on what look your display is in all honesty

 

[Vartha]

Yeah hope we get those soon here. All I want really IS Ultron

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i'd be more excited for Iron Monger if he was the right scale.. he's pretty much Titanium Man/Crimson Dynamo's should be size

 

[Rob3880]

Awesome! Thanks, Rob, you da man! Hey, how does that Ultron stack up against the Select version? I like your army idea, but if you were to only have 1 Ultron, would you get Select or the ML version?

I really like the new ML one myself. He looks great next to other Legends. The Select one is great too, but he's a little big when next to say, ML Hawkeye. The Select version has super loose leg joints that'll drive you crazy if you don't attach him to a base or stand. He could also benefit from a more metallic looking paint job. Both great figures, and if you are a 70's-80's kinda guy, you may like the Slect more. If you want a more modern look, go with the ML. I can't wait to do the soldier thing myself. I think that'll look pretty awesome.

 

[Rob3880]

I was just messing with the new Ultron, and was thinking he might look better without the shoulder pads. It's hard to tell how he's painted underneath. When they hit stores and I can get my hands on a few more, I might try removing them and see what happens. I would like to try painting one with a darker metallic paint to see how it would come out, give it more of a chromed out look. Anyway, it's a cool figure and I think you can do som cool stuff with it.

Add some little spikes on the shoulders too. Another idea for the soldiers would be to keep Ultron prime with red accents, and paint the soldiers accents green or blue...

 

[Rob3880]

Do you guys think the Ronan BAF is worth shelling out the dough for? I don't have any desire to actually complete that wave figure by figure. I only want Mole Man and Namor... I have multiple versions of every other figure in the wave, and don't want to spend a ton of money getting them again. I saw a bunch of negative reviews for Ronan on Youtube, which kinda gave me pause. He probably is gonna end up costing in the $80.-$100 range. Is he worth it?

I just won one of these:
