Those aren't a bad deal since shipping is more reasonable now. Shipping is only $6. But if someone wants to buy a ton and distribute them, that might not be a bad idea either.
Want me to order a ton? Does this make any sense?

I guess it would depend on how many we could get in/the savings therein. I've got 11 figs just on my desk right now (though some are more stable than others), so I'd need 2 bags full as is.

fake edit: Crap, I was hoping McFarlane would have some actual figure I could get to make shipping worth it, but they don't have ANY of the large-scale military figures.

Has anyone seen the Nemesis wave in retail yet? Besides that guy on TFW2005 the only place I've seen them is on bbts for like, 200 bucks for the case.

Found wave 7 of DCUC tonight at my local TRU. Had Flash, Kid Flash, Big Barda and the Batman and Green Lantern from the previous waves that didn't come with parts. No Aqua Man or Blue Beetle though.

I've got Deadpool and Gambit standing on my desk. The Gambit's surprisingly nice; Deadpool has trouble holding aaaaanything with one of his hands and one of his hip joints was painted freaking over. It's kind've a doofy line, all things considered.

Anyway, my store has them, and we don't have, uh, much. Deadpool seems to be the shortpack, though.

So is Deadpool worth the $14-18 I'd probably have to shell out to get him over the internet?

What's your opinion of them at this point? I know you've picked up a few. I'm definitely not collecting the whole line, but I can't really turn down a Deadpool and probably wouldn't shun a Cable if they ever do him.

Glad I ordered mine from HTS then. I have yet to see either in the wild, though. So far, I've only seen brown, blue/yellow, and wife-beater Wolvy.

I saw the Wolverine line Deadpool in stores like a week ago. A lot of stores by me don't have the figures at all yet, but based one what I've seen he's short-packed. The case assortment must be something like 1 random other character for every 20-something Wolverine variants.

I didn't pick him up because the one that I saw had a lot of fugly paint smudges and I'm not good at correcting that poo poo on my own. He looks kinda cool though. I do have to wonder if whoever designed the toy ever actually saw a sai in person before. The one that comes with him is like 1/3 of his body size.

You always seem to say you found figures at Meijer and other Michigan area stores but where in the state are you? I'm in Ann Arbor and no store around here ever seems to have any selection. The Toys R Us, Wal*Marts and everything else have been crappy Clone Wars figures, Spectacular Spider-Man and WWE figures since December.

So... I went back to first TRU I saw the Marvel Universe figures at, and... they're complete gone, so is the space that was cleared out for them, and it's been replaced by pegs of Iron Man movie toys.

My local Target is pretty similar in that they will stock absolutely nothing new between the months of January and April. The isles are pretty barren from the christmas rush, and they probably won't care until May.

Seriously? You guys think the marvel universe figures look good? Deadpool has a retarded huge sai, and Gambit looked terrible.


At least all of the ones I saw yesterday. At my local wal-mart, they said that they had them out, but they wern't allowed to sell them, they had two employees standing guard.

But most of the paint jobs were spotty, and I won't even go into the Wolverine Origins figures or the Wolverine & The X-men figures, minus Beast, who looked pretty decent.


In fact, the only decent one they had was the Silver Surfer, but i already have his mugg and a statue.

Picked up the MU Iron Man today, I think it's pretty neat. Not $8.44 neat by any means but I'm not too concerned since I'm not going to get too many of these things. My only real complaint is that the torso's reeeaaally thin. I know this is a common problem with any IM fig but from the side he really does look like a flimsy robot instead of a guy wearing armor.

Dunno if anyone cares but there's some good pics of wave 2 of NECA's new SFIV line up here:

Akuma's face looks a little odd but otherwise I like him and Guile. Chun-li's legs are thick as tree trunks though and it's freaking me out a little. I know that's her thing, but jeez. Might look better in person, I was a little iffy about the first wave but then I saw them in person and they're actually ok, just a different style than everyone's used to with SOTA.

Picked up the Watchmen movie Rorschach figure today at Spencers, he's pretty great.

I've just got a question - he came with a bunch of small little pieces and I'm not sure what one of them is for. Two of them are peg-stands you plug into the base so you can stand him up, but what's the grey little quadrangle thing? Looks kinda like

Yes they are... They are the same scale and considered a part of the line. Kinda like how the Spider-Man, Hulk and Fantastic Four Classics figures are technically a part of the Marvel Legends line.
