NorthRaider Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The Wolverine Origins figs have yet to show up here, but some of the new-ish wave MU figs have. Just saw Green Goblin, Iron Fist and Ronin yesterday, and the other day I think our LCS started carrying the Hulk ones too. Have yet to see the Captain America fig in the flesh. And punisher, those are some hilarious pics! That Deadpool/Snake Eyes encounter CANNOT end well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Fett could wipe the floor with IM hands down. 2 words: Ion blaster. Just hit him a few times and-- whoops! There goes Jarvis. Fett's got better maneuverability, are superior fire power, a better targeting system, and much more advanced tech. Stark has better armor and sustainable flight. And enhanced strength. Unless they're going hand to hand, or an out and out speed race, I doubt Stark could pull it off. He could just fly away though. Cheesy ending aside, Boba wins. 'Nuff said.

handsomedevil Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I saw the green Hulk figure the other day and it is by far my favorite so far. Green Goblin is a close second. I am really anxious for the red Hulk though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Can somebody please take a pic of Hulk standing next to a normal sized fig? I want to see how large he stacks up for a Rhino custom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Here's a shot with the MU Hulk. Scale really depends on the figure: And here's one with the motorcycle: GI Joe arms aren't really long enough to fit this right and sit on the seat, so I figured maybe it was for more intimate rides...

Punisher Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks groundhog. I'll be on the lookout for a Hulk now... Man, i really want that sabretooth, but really don't want to pay 20 bucks! What to do!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo Shizzle Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 So finally saw Stealth Iron Man and went ahead and bought him even though I'm not a huge IM fan, but he was the only one with no paint flaws and he was all cool and shiny looking. Also saw Iron Fist, and Green Goblin, and Silver Surfer but passed on them. No sign of Cap anywhere though........If anyone wants to trade for Cap, PM me.

groundhog7s Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 There's just something weird feeling about the IM ones. I'm not sure if it's just made from a different material than the rest, but they just feel strange when you try and move them. Has anybody else noticed this?

NorthRaider Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Does it make a weird, metallic wrrrrrrrrrrrr sound? Back on topic: The Wolverine Origins figures just arrived here yesterday. And already the Deadpool and Gambit (or so I've heard) ones have gone poof. I predict that wave 28 of Marvel minimates will be a huge hit here...

groundhog7s Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Actually, it makes a sloshing sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I thought only Ultimate Iron Man's armor was filled with weird goo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It is. I think the regular MU Tony has vomit inside his suit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I love the 3 3/4" scale but Minimates have ruined me for Marvel figures. If I went apeshit completist on Marvel Universe like I have with Marvel Minimates, I'd need another house. But I'm also a sucker for movie figures so I've decided to only collect the 3 3/4" figures that are based on films. So far I've got the "comic" Sabretooth that looks suspiciously like Tyler Mane's appearance in the first X-Men film. I'm putting him in with my Wookiee collection. Essentially, if it's based on the comics, I'm sticking to Minimates. If it's from a movie, I'll go with the 3 3/4" figures. And knowing what Marvel's film roster looks like, I may only need to finance an addition to my existing house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimadman Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I don't know if it is nation wide but the 3.75 Wolverine Origins figures are currently $5.99 at Target. Comic, Animated Series and Movie versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel72 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Has anyone picked up the Sabertooth that comes with Wolverine on a motorcycle. These are a TRU exclusive. I broke down and bought it becase simply because of Sabertooth. I justified paying $20 for the set by just telling myself that I have payed more on ebay for a single figures that I couldn't find in stores. I have to say it... SABERTOOTH ROCKS!!! He is perfect scale with the MU and his articulation matches perfectly. Some people complained about the metallic paint but mine doesn't seem to have that problem. Now when I get the brown Wolverine from the upcoming Secret Wars two-packs, I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think Sabertooth is one of the best figures they've made to date. If they were all of that quality, there'd be no complaints about the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Does it make a weird, metallic wrrrrrrrrrrrr sound? Back on topic: The Wolverine Origins figures just arrived here yesterday. And already the Deadpool and Gambit (or so I've heard) ones have gone poof. I predict that wave 28 of Marvel minimates will be a huge hit here... I think Gambit might be a little short-packed. I went into my local Target and found the newly stocked X-Men Origins shelf which had the SuperHero Squad 4packs, Spring-Out Logan Claws as well as about 40 of the 3 3/4" figures. Out of all the figures there, I only found 1 Gambit. They shelves looked like they been packed just the night before. Each peg was full, the display was tidy, etc . . Needless to say, Gambit was the figure i bought that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I went to Wal-Marts the other day, and they had a special middle-of-the-aisle display with loads of the Origins Wolvie figures. I saw a couple of Gambits right out front with the others. That is to say, I don't think people will have too much trouble finding any of these things. Unlike Mattel, Hasbro has a tendency to over- rather than under-estimate how many figures people will buy. There are very few 25th Joes that I never saw in person.

groundhog7s Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Around here, the only Marvel figures I've seen consistently are the Wolverine and the X-Men figures. Most everything else is selling out quickly. At least for now, they seem very under-ordered. I haven't seen a Bullseye, Black Panther, Gambit or Maverick in person yet, but got them all of HTS (and I'm glad I did). I just wish they'd post series 3. I've heard they started hitting retail last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It is the hype, and I think that is wearing off here, anyway. Baton Rouge is scalper heaven, but I've started to run across the wave 1 figures pretty frequently now. It will be just like the Joes, some may be hard to find generally, but most will be easy enough to find if you have the patience to wait a bit. Hasbro will re-release anything that is reasonably popular in revision cases, and with the comic packs right around the corner, don't be surprised to see 4 and 5 packs pop up eventually, with characters wearing different colored costumes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I haven't seen a Bullseye, Black Panther, Gambit or Maverick in person yet Maverick was the next rarest figure, so i bought him the following week. I'll be going back for Deadpool & Wolverine this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
