Brad Redfield Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 LOVE LOVE LOVE this Hulk. The main reason I originally wanted this 2-pack was to get Loki (who is also great.) but Hulk ended up being amazing. Kinda sucks he didn't come with a raiser piece but I used the one from my previous Hulk so it's all good. He goes great with the other 'classic' style guys I have on display. Oh and...

Mystery Man Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just got my custom case from Luke and noticed a couple of interesting things.- All the Venom's don't have white tampo web-shooters on the hands. Anybody else's like this?- The Dr. Doom I got from Luke has the "armored-up" sculpting on the shoulders of the arms, just like the MvC Doom. But the set I ordered offa eBay had regular, smooth arms. I prefer the smooth arms. Wondering which one is the error for curiosities sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I just checked my inventory, and the Dooms all have the sculpted details on the shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Im loving all the little extras in this set from the Hulk to banner to the hair piece for loki which is perfect for the movie loki who didnt come with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks for checking, Luke! Guess I got an "oopsie" from the factory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 So I don't know if it got mentioned, but has anyone noticed how the stands are the larger version? And they are also Acrylic, not PVC like the others? No warping or anything. Very, very cool. I highly approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I noticed a difference but haven't done too much research... too busy playing with all these Moloids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got some of both types within the set, even one pack that had one of each type in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Re: Hulk Quality Control...I had to buy two MvC3 Red Hulks and 2 Bulked-Up Hulks to get them right. And I don't just mean loose parts, I mean to get the right parts period.I bought 3 MvC3 Green Hulks and got replacement parts from Diamond, and he still isn't right. He still has two right hands. Diamond sent me two right hands to replace those hands. And I had to contact and re-contact Diamond about 4 times over several months for that. I kinda reluctantly gave up on that... it got tiresome...Mismatched hands and thigh coverings seemed rampant with all these figures.The differences are so small that the parts are too damn easy to mix up for a factory worker. The thigh thing never seems to happen with bulked up figures who have marks on their thighs, but when they don't have tampos, the factory assemblers brains seem to fall out. I'd bet tons of you have Hulks with the wrong hands or thighs and never even noticed.I haven't recieved this new wave from Luke yet (it's in the mail) but as I notice this new hulk has no distinguishing marks on his thigh covers, I fear the worst. These posts do little to re-assure me. Man do I hope I don't need to buy 3 of these things... again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You have insentive to buy two so you can have a Banner, but my Hulk has appropriate thigh covers and the dumbest of the dumb couldn't mix up hands with fingers on them, so I think you should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh2382 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) - All the Venom's don't have white tampo web-shooters on the hands. Anybody else's like this? Bought the venom/DD and punisher/DP a little bit ago. My Venom is also that way. Is this just the design?

groundhog7s Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 This thread needs more pics: Probably the best thing about wave 2 is that three of the packs are worth buying two of for the alternate looks (sorry you lost out Punisher and Deadpool): And the best alternate look? Updated Dave Hulk: I don't think anyone has posted pics of this yet: With stuff like this, I'm really hoping for a third best of wave.

Donny B Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Awesome photos!curse you. I was perfectly content with one set of this wave, but now after seeing them displayed together like that, I have to actively fight the urge to order another set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matticus396 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Is deadpool from this wave worth getting if I already have the deadpool corps set? I'm definitely getting that hulk, for me he is the perfect color, has the best looking muscle definition, face tampo,and the perfect hair piece to be my go to hulk. He has a very classic feel to him. Sorry to hear about some QA issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Is deadpool from this wave worth getting if I already have the deadpool corps set? Depends how much the hole in the head of the Corps set bothers you. The differences are the lack of a hole in the head, some muscle detailing on the legs, black marks on the feet, no bandoliers for the upper legs, and a slightly orange paint job.

matticus396 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hmmm, the whole orange thing is kind of a turn off. But one thing that bothers me on the corp set is the red plastic instead of red paint. So I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't really think of the best of DP to be orangish at all. It seems a little bit of a light red to me, which is a different issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 That punisher is freaking sweet, though. I'm buying that set of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I like the set to, I don't see orange in mine at all. What is the gun that came with this and the other Punisher supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I was able to open both of my sets this weekend. My favorites are definitely McFarlane Venom & Hulk. Hulk is the perfect shade of green. I couldn't be happier. The only QC problem I had was I could not remove the hands from 1 of the Hulks. They are really stuck on. Also, as others have stated, neither of my Venoms have the white tampo on the hands. I am also a fan of the hard acrylic stands. DST needs to sell bags of these. I'd use them w/all my existing Minimates if they were made available for purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
