Thoguht we should have a MU Thread. Im sure there is a few of us collecting.

Sightings, New purchases etc.

I am happy to say I went to my local toyworld sunday arvo and picked up a Luke Cage. Must say that figure is great! and the packaging looks awesome!

So currently I have Hulk, Red Hulk, Daredevil, Blade, Punisher, X-Force Wolverine, Spiderman, Human Torch (Flame Version), Cap, Iron Man, and Silver Surfer.

My most anticipated, Galactus!!

Meangreen

2nd June 2010, 10:16 AM

I'm in agreement!

As I posted in the hauls thread, I have Extremis Iron Man and he is almost perfection.

I'm just concerned that no new waves will surface here for a long time. No stock ever moves.

Oh, and I see some news too. Apparently Iron Man 2020 and a Giant Sized X-Men box set have appeared on Ebay. Pics here:

http://www.thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=66045

I get a very "customed" feeling from the box set though.

gantz

2nd June 2010, 10:34 AM

Extremis Iron Man I cant wait to have!

From those pics, I def get the feeling its a custom. The Wolverine is from XMO, just cant be sure, although the Iron Man has to be a custom, I think that because there is no name on the display stand.

Meangreen

2nd June 2010, 10:44 AM

We shall have to wait for some more official news. For what it's worth though the seller is apparently known for selling legit but stolen DC stuff in the past.

Regardless of custom or not I'd actually be quite interested in buying this set. Good characters and in good scale to each other as well (I'm looking at you XMO Wolvie re-use).

Ha! Was waiting for that question. I have never been so conflicted on wether to open figures or not, its so hard to decide!

But no, I leave mine in their packs. The reason becasue its not a generic packaging, they all have their on pics on them etc.

The only one that was opened was Silver Surfer, but only cos my gf absolutley begged me too!

Heh, I'm mostly in favour of opening all my toys, but I must admit, this line is the closest I've ever come to keeping some figures sealed. They just look so good with the card art, especially the artist from the Fury Files run.

I keep the cardbacks but it's just not the same...

Oh he's about $50 or a bit less, loose nowadays. I got mine from Parramatta fair years ago for that price. Last fair they were selling loose MLs for $5each , loose. Deceptics took a bagful, only ones left were uninteresting. I was only after a nice looking Wolverine, sadly there was none.

Meangreen

8th June 2010, 03:44 PM

I don't know, I'm pretty happy with the 2020 Iron Man. It's nice to be getting one of his more fanciful armors. Most of the other obvious comic accurate suits seem to be set to pop up in the IM2 line anyway.

I have to say that I quite like the looks of Constrictor. Moreso that a lot of the other recent reveals at any rate.

foor

8th June 2010, 07:29 PM

Yeah, very excited for Constrictor. More villains the better!

Iron Man 2020 is a very odd choice. And I would have thought they'd release him in the Iron Man range too rather than MU.

I don't think it's that unreasonable. After all, the figs did come in a specially moulded tray. Generally most early production samples seem to come like this, just look at Transformers. The packaging is probably an entirely different step in the production line, so that box design can be edited for different markets, etc.

It's nice to see packaged pics of Blade and Daredevil, I never saw those ones at retail.

They look so nice on card that I'm almost beginning to regret opening mine. I think I will have to design a swanky display stand in order to do mine justice.

I never realised that that Torch had individualised packaging though, very cool. The only torch I want to get though is the one from the Invaders box set. To me that looks the pick of the bunch, even if it's a different character.

yeah picked up blade from K-Mart and DD from Target, thanks heaps :)

Oh those invaders look so good! I totally didnt notice the individual packaging on Torch either till my gf pointed it out.

In total waves the first Hammer wave is the same as MU wave 6. I think most people still count them sequentially anyway.

I have been reading this thread sneakily at work just before I leave and I think it has finally got me to start collecting MU.

I am a Wolverine collector more than anything and is what I have gotten back into but all my wolvie figs are marvel legends, I was concerened about the scale difference as well as the price.

The Dark Woverine has me pretty excited though (in the two pack). This is the only official Daken (wolvies son) figure to be released yet and I do want it lol I am annoyed I missed the X force Wolverine from the first wave (i think?) as that is the only x force wolverine figure to be released. I am interested in a few other figures too.

Knowing my luck though the ML figures rumoured to be released next year will probably make my MU purchases obsolete.:rolleyes:

Unfortunately I'm a bit fuzzy on whether or not non-americans can actually subscribe to the service. The situation was the same for the Nick Fury they offered last year, I think most people had to resort to ebay.

It's true what you say about the line getting so big though. My advice is to cherry pick your own cream of the crop. The ridiculous price of 3-3/4 figs and the lousy sculpts of early waves taught me that much...

ah I thought death Archangle was an exclusive too, that is a nice figure.
I am a completist as much as I try not to be, by not being able to get x force archangel I doubt I would bother getting the rest of the team. As it was stated earlier, great way to create disinterest. That is unless I can spare rediculous amounts of money on one from ebay...but then I have issues spending over a certain amount on a 3.75 figure lol

Jean grey looks nice as does the card art, always had a soft spot for her, definitely my favourite ranga :D

I think Death Archangel is a running change. Apparently all that hit the shelves in the US are death variants, while the e-retailers early on got the regular versions. I could be wrong though. The X Force Archangel would go for a pretty penny, as the regular and death versions people really are paying more than retail for.

What I really want is eggbeater Havok. I grew up with that version. I don't really want modern Havok...

Hot Rodimus

haha never heard him referred to as egg beater havok before. I always liked him in the X factor uniform he had, I used to be a fan of x factor in the 90's.

Urg, Jean Grey is a very irritating figure. Hip movement blocked by the sculpt and a chronic hunched neck are not fun.

She become acceptable though if you have her leaning back so her neck problems aren't as apparent. She'll look good with the upcoming Cyclops.

Sadly nothing. What makes it worse is that my K-Mart has been clearancing their meager stock. By that I mean the sole Iron Man and Green Goblin nobody wants, for $11.00. That's usually indication the product has been discontinued in the K-Mart system.

Well I have never seen this fig here and if stores are going to stop carying them then I may never.

I prefer that costume too, that is what he wears in X factor these days aswell but with a trench coat too, so they would definitely have to include the trenchcoat.

Has anyone regretted their decision buying this line? With Legends now definitely coming back in 2012 anyone scared this line will be forgotten or overshadowed?

There's still time left to see the wave he's from though. It's only barely showing up in the U.S. as it is.

As for regretting the line? I can't say I do. This scale is my scale of choice.

I don't think the line will be forgotten either. By all accounts (and distribution aside) Hasbro seems to have faith in it. The return of ML will probably still be a fairly limited one I imagine, with MU continuing as the (relatively) cheaper option.

Here's an interesting thread at Marvelous News relating to figure scarcity. Not any new news, just an interesting insight I think.

hmmm I think you have valid points but at the end of the day we are all just guessing.
This unknown has left me a little bit hesitant to plunge head first into collecting this line in the fear that Legends will be back and once again I will be able to buy figs in a scale that matches everything else I have already got instead of starting again.
I know of ppl who will be ticked off if this does happens though, as some of you would too. We are talking of the ppl who got rid of their legends line collection and started again with universe, I would be very angry indeed.
in all honesty though I still haven't bought any despite trying too, all I can find is green goblins and hand ninjas mostly, none of the figures I really want.
I had a look at ebay but prices are ridiculous on there.

26th August 2010, 02:45 PM

I highly doubt Legends will ever be back. F*** they even had most of the same ones at this years SDCC as last year, and Im pretty sure the year before that, its a dying line and Hasbro are to cheap to truly continue it imo.

Have you checked out bigbadtoystore?

The idea has tempted me a bit but I figure by the time I buy the parts and put him together that is going to be one expensive action figure.

Awesome. Carnage is pretty exciting to hear about, and for a good price too.

More Captain America comic was also shown today too, including U.S. Agent, Crossbone and Captain Britain.

Here's a few pics of the lats heroes to join my collection.

Juggernaut is a totally amazing figure. He looks and feels perfect, like they managed to translate his comic presence exactly into plastic.

Gladiator's quickly become another item of interest for me. Is it just me or does his cape look suitable for a certain, well known, Sorcerer Supreme?

It's very pleasing to see the ball and cut thigh articulation on the Captain America line too. It definitely works the best in my opinion. I just hope the Cap line produces another Union Jack too, it seems more than likely to me in any case.

Well, in the aid of posing and photographing my MU I recently got two Obitsu Multi-stands (shown here) (http://www.hlj.com/product/OBTMLST-A01C). They took a while to get here but they're definitely worth it, I'm pretty sure even deluxe tf's would be easily supported by them.

Anyway, I decided to show off some new aerial acquisitions with them.

http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo232/Bullfinger/Random%20Toy%20Pics/JoeSatriani.jpg

Surfer here is pretty cool, I never got the original but I'm glad to have this two-tone shiny version. He doesn't peg onto his board well though...

http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo232/Bullfinger/Random%20Toy%20Pics/Stealthoperations.jpg

Also a Stealth Iron Man, with what I think is really beautiful paint. He really disappears in shadows unlike the bright blue stealth suits.

I recommend you keep an eye on HLJ until they restock. I think two of them cost me about $20 NZ shipped from there. Well worth it for the price.

Definitely the lame duck of the 3 pack.

Will post pics when they arrive, and Meangreen, you have inspired me to select a few to open, damn it!! lol

Im building the Dark Avengers. So Iron Patriot will be the first to be opened, then nab a few the comic 2-packs to round out the rest. Not a real problem for me with those, as I dont appreciate the art etc they place on 'em.

There is Ms Marvel/Moonstone variant yeah?

Winter Soldier Im def opening, Bucky just looks a little to good to keep confined in his packaging

I see I see, I'm skipping Dark Avengers myself. Apart from maybe Dark Hawkeye as a regular Hawkeye stand in.

There is apparently a Moonstone Ms. Marvel coming at some stage. It's not out yet but it snuck into a convention pic a while back.

*EDIT*

I forgot to take pics of my A.I.M. Soldier. It's a really good figure only perhaps a little to tall. I wouldn't mind building a squad of these suckers.

Have there been anymore new sightings in Aus as well? There's still absolutely zip here.

Man I love those flying stands you have!

Definitely thinking of importing the new wave, but I figure I am going to try and catch up on a few of the older ones that I need first. There is always time for next years waves, next year :p

I have noticed that the Targets near me keep restocking with the same stuff. People are definitely buying the figs, but there is nothing newer than the Thor/Extremis wave. Luke Cage is the biggest shelfwarmer, and there are like 10 Bullseyes.

Finally got my hands on a Flame On Torch from Wave 1. He is awesome, but due to the rarity of him now, he may stay in his packet.

They're totally great stands eh.

I'm glad to see that they're at least still being stocked where you are. I've seen no movement for nearly a year now.

Although I have seen movement in the Spider-man line. I found the Carnage wave a few days ago and had to grab ol' red venom. I'd still rather be finding the main line though...

http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo232/Bullfinger/Random%20Toy%20Pics/Carnage.jpg

Carnage is actually pretty sweet. He has decent hips and a fair amount of articulation (compared to, say, Star Wars figs). Unfortunately his red is rather more pink as well. He still looks good though.

I just thought I'd show off Iron Spider-man to you all.

http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo232/Bullfinger/Random%20Toy%20Pics/IronSpider.jpg

He's the only figure I needed from wave 9 so it's good to be able to mentally check a wave off.

It feels good value for what is essentially a repaint with extras. One of his legs continually falls off but he makes up for it with the cool waldo arms.

The last few figures left on the shelves here for a year or so are slowly disappearing.

No haven't got WW Hulk yet, he's on the list.

Yeah no idea why they pic links dont work, hmmm...

they were just wave 13, Cable, Apocalypse and Jim Lee (that bastard) Cyclops.

Wasnt planning on Cyke, but the sculpt does look great.

In other news, got marvel select Magneto (with helmet) and Juggernaut (with helmet)
I thought the select Hulk was big, Juggs is a monster :D

Are you hotlinking the pics directly from the host website? Would that be it?

Anyway, I'm not actually over excited about wave 13, I'm iffy on Cable and Apocalypse. Cyclops is a must though in that classic costume. Also I like the character of Gladiator, He's basically as powerful as superman but his strength relies on his confidence. I can gladly skip first appearance Wolverine.

Marvel Select figures eh? How do they feel as action figures? Good quality? I'm thinking of getting Modern Thor at some stage myself.

gantz

7th February 2011, 08:30 PM

yyyeeaahhh thats what Ive been doin :(

How come you're skeptical of Apoc and Cable?? Cant wait to get my hands on Askani Son, and that cute little baby Hope!

Ive been reading x-men for a while, and the latest Cable on-going in which he raises Hope which tied directly into Second Coming, so I guess my optimism and excitement for the Cable figure is somewhat biased...

Ahhh Marvel Select! Havent regretted a single purchase since buying my 1st, which was Green Goblin.

The figures themselves are fantastically detailed, most have the 16 points of articulation, which is enough to put most of 'em in great poses.
Some though, well, are a little harder. Example being Black Cat, but the sheer novelty of her huge boobs totally makes up for it lol.

I have the Modern Thor, get him, you will not be disappointed :D

So far I have:

Green Goblin
The Incredible Hulk
Modern Thor
Iron Man (2008)
Iron Man IV (movie)
War Machine (movie)
Black Cat
The Punisher
and obviously Magneto and Juggs.

Really super excited for the up-coming Gambit, and my gf has ordered The Thing.

I didn't know there was an X-23 ongoing. Colour me intrigued. I always liked the character but never got into team books she got stuck with.

Although I haven't read any X-Men comics since they did the whole vampire arc. And seriously haven't touched any Marvel since they finished Siege. This whole "Heroic Age" thing feels kind of... boring...

I'm definitely going to get multiple Lauras when she comes out too. I pray I have a chance to preorder her when they finally go live.

Heh, yep, House of M Spidey. I rather like that costume too.

I've concentrated on getting all of the more "out-there" Spidey's myself. Ones like Iron-Spider, House of M etc...

Hey guys, here's the pics I intened to post on Thursday night. My camera batteries went flat. :mad: Typical of the luck I've had this week.

The 1st pic is Series 1, then Series 2, then the other 3.75 Hasbro stuff I've got in pic 3.

Originally I was going to everything, then money got really (REALLY) tight so I decided to just get the figures I liked, then I started trying to get any and all the villians I could find (which wasn't many :( ) then I lost the plot and just bought whatever I could find cheep.

Anyway, here they are:

Nice collection there MechB. You've got a few there that I wouldn't mind getting my hands on, namely Titanium Man. Are you ever gonna free them?

Also, I got bored this afternoon.

My trip to the Austrailian Toy and Hobby Fair last Sunday was a bit of a bust. I got there much later than I intended and it finished eariler than it was supposed to, so I only had an hour and a half to do what I normally do in three hours.

Like Griffin said, the Hasbro stand had some increased security and was more like the Toyworld display (which you cant even get into unless you work for Toyworld). Dispite being a retailer that sells Hasbro products and because I didn't make an appointment, they didn't want to even let me look around.

I talked my way in anyway.

So, the info you've all been waiting for! Yeah, they pretty much had the same display for the Thor & Cap A figues as they did in the US (although I do like the Austrailian layout better). One important thing though... no Marvel Universe figures on display at all. Looks like Hasbro have given up on the line in Oz completely. The rep I spoke to was pretty candid about stuff which was nice, he said that Oz just didn't have the market to support every wave, let alone every line that comes out. (I should point out that because there was no movie this year, there was no Gi Joe either)

Oh and I did ask them about about how they plan to market the Cap & Thor stuff considering how little support there was for the MU line (and Wolvie & Iron Man for that matter) and the response was? We are going to let the movies support the line with only some minor instore & catalogue support. So there you go... another massive company that thinks their shit is going sell itself. Expect a repeat of the Wolvie & IM experiance.

As for the rest of the fair this year, it was completely disappointing. Don't expect any new mind blowing toys this year. (Although some of that new Lego stuff is awesome). Everyone was basicly peddling the same stuff as last year.

I talked my way in anyway.

HA! NiceOne!

Total shit about future MU lines hitting our shores, but a fact I seem to have come to terms with subconsciously, we knew it wasnt looking hopeful...

Also, weak about the promo for Thor and Cap, or lack there of.

Hmm, not a single surprise there. At least I know I'll be able to pick up what I need from the first waves of the Cap line further down the track, and for a fiver each, just like Iron Man 2...

Smooth moves though Mechbiter.

Yeah, gotta give the guys props!

Recently (think I mentioned it previously) I've just ordered mine from PREVIEWS magazines @ my local.

IMO the price aint bad, only problem is, they take so figgin' long to arrive :confused:

Previews orders are placed a full 2 months in advance so yeah, it'll feel like they take forever but it's really no different to placing a preorder.

Well we have the Sentinel coming up soon, and if thats anything like Galactus, then a definite buy!

Depends really on what you 'collect' i.e. Avengers, Heroes, Villains, Mutants etc.

Gigantic Battles Frost Giant!

Well, that's my number one at least... I hope I can get him easy enough, being a wal-mart exclusive and all.

It's part of the MU line. The giant comes with a comic Loki and Goliath is packed with Cloned Thor. It's the same deal with the Giant man and Giant Skrull packs a year or so ago.

That's the clearance price minus the 20% that was supposed to finish about a week and a half ago.

That's the problem... my collection has completely lost focus, as I pretty much grab whatever I can find, when I find it. I think I'm going to have to just give up and BBTS everything from now on. That Sentinel is too good to miss out on. I think I'll focus on Villians first, then Mutants, then everything else.

That Frost Giant pack looks cool but the best thing about it is Loki himself. :D

I've finally set up a BBTS account so after I get past this weekends shenanigans in Melbourne, I'm getting me a Galactus and a Sentinel. I'll probably get the Avengers set but I'm not sure if I'll bother with the X-Force set. How about you guys?

gantz

26th March 2011, 08:27 AM

Unfortunately the Sentinel inst available yet, should be in the coming months, make sure you get you some Galactus love, that figure is amazing, and the surfer aint bad either.

I am still waiting on my new ones from Previews (cable wave) once I do though, PICS!!!

Def need the X-Force pack, although it truly is stupid they couldn't include fantomex or pyslocke, as the warpath featured is painted in the n new x-force colour, a team he is not apart of.

Mechbiter

27th March 2011, 01:36 PM

Ah, but he is if you look at this:

Anyone could be better than those three, just give us a character we haven't gotten yet! I already have Warpath and Wolvie in X-Force colours and really just want the Deadpool. 1 out of 3 isn't a must buy for me, so it's sadly a skip.

Considering getting 1st app Avengers set too only for 1st App Hulk. but don't need another Thor.

Ok, now I HAVE to find a way to get my hands on this set! Sadly it looks like E-bay will be my best option...

I still find it HIGHLY amusing seeing Osborn's face yelling 'Collect them all'

And I must be colour blind when comes to X-Force.... :(

Mechbiter

28th March 2011, 03:47 PM

Thier grayscale outfits make it rather hard to tell them all apart I guess. :D
To be honest, I thought the X-Force pack would at least have Archangel in it. If there going to name these packs after a team, then they should probably have the actual team in it. :confused:

I just hit my local Target and it's 20% off all Superhero toys, so Thor and Iron Man toys are going out at about $14 and the Marvel Universe figures are selling for about $7.50.

If anyone sees a MU Blade, MU Moon Knight, MU Hobogobin or any MU Hand Ninjas can you let me know? (or any of the other harder to find figures)

11th April 2011, 09:22 AM

Do you think they're just gonna keep that price on the MU's in hopes they'll all sell, cause I dont get paid till thurs and would love to grab a few doubles I can remove from the packs.

Anyhoohowzit,

New pics of upcoming MU's, like Dr Strange etc, plus a neat Cap 3-pack.

Preordered a case of Wave 2 2011 from BBTS after seeing the in-package pictures. Going to mean a few spares but I really want Cable and Cyclops and its the most cost effective way of getting them.

Even if I can't display them at the moment .. one day I might be able to to (along with Star Wars and Gi Joe)

I'll take Apocalypse & Skarr ( I know that Apocalypse is the only double, but hell, I might as well try) if you decide to dispose of them.

Seriously though, I'm curious to see how it turns out for you cost wise, packing, etc.

Mechbiter, you said you run/own/work for a comic book store?

Correct on all 3. :p

Do you ever order from Previews??

Every month... but we do it indirectly via a larger comic supplier based out of Melbourne. As a result we don't have complete access to everything Previews has on offer and one of those things we miss out on is the toys. We used to go directly though Diamond but we were too small for them to care about us.
