Hawkeye's Junk Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sweet, i think this may be the first time we get a Mockingbird figure of any sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Remember how I speculated that, having bought the Amazing Bag-Man from a comic book store, I'd find him for regular price? Yeah, that happened. Saw the set at Wal-Mart, picked up Blastaar and Prof X. Both are very nice. Passed on Miles Spidey and a second Bag Man for now, and Jubilee forever. A word of warning to you Jubilee fans, though: I've read that some people have had trouble with one of her arms breaking off, so be careful with her.

All my Wal-Marts are just now getting in the Scarlet Witch wave, which is pissing me off because I'm jonesing for a Bombastic Bag Head for my sons X-Mas present, and all the scalpers have them on eBay for like $50+.

hellpop Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Outside Philadelphia. I'd offer to pick him up for you, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back there. Tell you what: if I do, and he's still there, I'll pick him up and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 My Wal-Marts around here have mostly stopped carrying Marvel Universe figures, but are overstocked on the movie lines. One of the five Wal-Marts in my relative area still has them, and they haven't gotten a new wave in awhile. Hopefully Target doesn't skip on the Blastaar wave (he's the only one I want)!

Jeff Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I've officially given up on Walmart by me in Grand Rapids, MI. Ever since the store was torn down and remodeled (right after Marvel Legends was bought by Hasbro) you can't find anything there but Hot Wheels and Iron Man 2 movie toys choking the aisles while the pegs where MU should be remain barren. It's awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I'm not paying $50 scalper prices, I'm happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cut2thechase Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 EEEEE MOCKINGBIRD. Made my day. Love her, though it's likely her classic costume. Not that that's a bad thing, but i love her modern look. Still amazing. I'm seeing a pattern between the Marvel Universe line's releases and the playable characters being released in the Marvel Avengers Alliance game on Facebook. If the Avengers movie figures didn't back Hasbro up so much this year I think more people would notice it too. That said, I'd bet $20 Mockingbird will be released in her modern costume although I'd prefer her in one of her classic costumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 My prediction for Mockingbird is a Firestar repaint with added cuffs for her boots (classic look). Note: I'm usually wrong so if I put this out there, maybe we'll get a SA, completely new sculpted figure. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The Firestar head would work for the early issues, before Bobbie started pulling her hair back in a pony tail. The billowy sleeves are going to be the issue. Not going to look right without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 How tall is this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Inches-MARVEL-SPIDER-MAN-SANDMAN-FIGURE-LEGENDS-UNIVERSE-XMAS-GIFT-FX85-/350658284452?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item51a4dccba4 Also, does anyone know where a good YoJoe like checklist is for Marvel? MarvelousNewsi really fell off the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Size: about 3'' tall; I don't recognise him, there weren't any 3.75 inch figures yet when SM3 came out. There was a 5" line around that time, in an attempt to revive that scale, and there were several Sandman's made for it. I don't know anyone who's up to date chronicling the MU scale stuff.

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Right, I can read. I was just wondering if anyone here knew how to clarify "about". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I saw a comparison of that with MU figs on toyark, it's way too small for MU figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Cool, thanks. So I opened Beta Ray Bill. What's the first thing that happens? His foot snaps off. Great. I got it fixed though. It only took 1 screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Right, I can read. I was just wondering if anyone here knew how to clarify "about". Can, yes. But sometimes it pays to make sure that you did. And busting your chops is practically the board pastime. (see I used happy emoticons when insulting you. Which by internet law means its okay, right?)

groundhog7s Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 FYI, there was a 3 3/4" playset for Spider-Man 2 that was a Subway car with Spidey and *maybe* Doc Ock. It's very cool as an acessory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I remember that. It's actually quite hard to find now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Is this what you are talking about? It does look awesome. Edited December 3, 2012 by minimadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 That I remember... because untold numbers of Fwooshers canibalized those tentacles to upgrade their Doc Ocks. Seemed an expensive mod to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I just know I picked mine up on clearance because I really wanted a 3 3/4" Spidey. I've since packed it away and assumed at some point I'd find a use for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Cool, thanks. So I opened Beta Ray Bill. What's the first thing that happens? His foot snaps off. Great. I got it fixed though. It only took 1 screw. Who did you have to screw? In a heads up to UK MU collectors.

Macross-Junkie Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just thought I'd let everyone know... Stopped by my local TJ MAX with the wife today, and they had a fair amount of the 16" Galactus and the 16" Sentinel for the Marvel Universe line. Both figures were painted in the SDCC colors, but had action figures with them (Wolverine, Silver Surfer respectably), so they are repaint Retail versions. My TJ MAX had about 3 Galactus figures and 8 Sentinels, priced at $29.98. I picked up an extra Sentinel for my son for X-Mas, he already has 2, but it's always more fun to have your X-Men fight a triad of mutant hunting metal...
