New 3 3/4 Inch Marvel Universe Line...

[buzzybean]

Someone at the end of the line had to have said "okay, that looks good, go with it" befor mass producing it. That should be someone in quality control; probably the same guy that worked for Kenner in 1995 and approved the monkey-face Leia action figure.

Finally found the Hulk figure. He looks pretty good and as big as he is, I can spend the $8 on him. Ill probably pick up The Thing and other large hulk related characters that might be released.

If Hasbro has a quality control team today, I'm supremely confident that their days consist of seeing who can jam their head up their own ^^^^^^^ the farthest. This line looks like Hasbro vomited fail.

I've got a loose Thing that I would sell for cost. Same goes for black Punisher and the boxed TRU Wolverine Origins motorcycle set. PM me if interested.

 

[MercWithAMouth]

Gonna pick up Red Hulk when he releases soon, already picked up 3 Deadpools

I miss you Marvel Legends...

I miss you Marvel Legends...

Hasbro versions

We've got some 2-packs coming out in the near future--classic Iron Man, Nick Fury, and some others.

 

[ghettoenhanced]

Hasblow versions

FIXED!


Anyway, I'll take whatever I can get in 6" scale and just wish the Nemesis wave would drop already.

I can't do the micro Legends, I tried but sold em all and swore off 'em.

i picked up the thing the other day (hulk needs someone to beat up on). he isn't as big as the hulk but he still towers over the others and is a pretty solid action figure/toy. i ended up selling off everyone else except hulk, thing, and deadpool though. i may pick up a random figure here or there but don't really feel the desire to be a completist on this line.

 

[karamazov80]

FIXED!

Ain't that the truth. What pieces of crap.

The good Punisher head on the good Punisher body, IMO:

The Hulk would be a lot better if he didn't look like he was made for horseback! Those freakin' widespread legs are ridiculous!

true...the green one i have will hardly stand b/c they are so spread apart. they aren't that bad on the grey one for some reason.

nice mod, karamazov. i like it!

I'm loving this line. I started out buying just the ones I really liked, but slowly and surely (and without any 3 3/4" Joes to buy), I became a completionist. Well, except for maybe the first Punisher...

Up here in Canada, the price isn't any worse than what we've been dealing with for GI Joe and SW for years, so I don't think Hasbro's trying to jack you guys. It really must be a sign of the times, unfortunately. Everyone's prices are going up - Hot Toys, Sideshow, Mattel (MOTU) - so what do you expect?

For little guys, they's are just as good as the GI Joes, although I admit they feel a bit lighter and maybe "cheaper" because of that.

Gambit's legs are the absolute worst Can't get any real good poses with these little guys.I thought the ankles would at least be articulated. I think I'll just pick up Spidey and black/grey Wolvie and I'm done for whats out now. I'd like Sabretooth too, but I'm still undecided since he doesn't have the 90's costume I liked.

Gambit is definitely a figure I was extremely disappointed in. I should have read this post before buying him. The only Origins: Wolverine figure I bought and opened was the classic yellow Wolvie, and I didn't spend much time posing him. It was only until I got Gambit that I realized that this line is VERY different from the Marvel Universe line, as none of the MU figures that I've gotten have that problem with the joints. Now that I look at the other figures I've got (brown Wolvie, Deadpool), I can see that they all have those weird ball-jointed hips. I think I'll keep Deadpool, but I'm going to return the brown Wolvie since we're getting a MU version of him in the comic packs anyway.

I just wish the waves would get up here faster!

 

[Macross-Junkie]

Our Toys R Us just got in the newest wave of MU figures. Picked up a sweet looking Hobgoblin and Moon Knight today. Red Hulk looked pretty good to, I might go back and pick him up, if he's still there. Plus all these figures have the label for the "Mail Away Nick Fury"...

 

[Memnoch]

Well Im back into this one since I got the rockin Hobgoblin.. problem now is I need to find Green Goblin and a few others. Just goin with ones I really like though, so no Moon Knight or ones like that. Hope we get a complete Fantastic Four team in short order.. only issue with them is I like the black costumes more and those are the chase versions. I've never seen the Johnny one.. is that even out yet?

 

[darkknight]

I'm picky on this line. The only ones I have are Deadpool, Wolverine and Maverick.I also preordered the SDCC Captain America grey scale last week when they came available again from HTS. I also want the Nick Fury figure too.

 

[karamazov80]

I picked up the Wolvie/Torch 2-pack from Target a couple weeks ago, and the hand on Wolvie twisted right off when I tried to move it. Plus, Wolvie has a giraffe neck. Just wanted to share

 

[Hulksmashed]

I only want the big ones! Not only do I like the characters...but I don't feel so bad spending $8 on them!

So far I got Green, Grey, and Red Hulk as well as Thing. They look pretty good. Rulk was hard to find!
