Nodosaur: Dec 23, 2014

I just decided to start my Marvel Legends collection with Wal-Mart exclusive Tom Holland head Upgraded Suit, a loose Infinity Saga Thanos, and the re-release of Vulture with the wings.

Can anyone recommend good versions of the movie Avengers that reflects their most recent appearances? I've decided I'm going with those instead of trying to be a completionist beyond getting all of MCU Spidey's suits. I'm not interested in comic-verse figures either.

There�s the Walmart exclusives fat Thor and Captain America.

Actually there�s two WM caps, the most recent one is Infinity War Cap with the beard, the older one is the Endgame version with mijolnir

Yep. The hammer is hidden behind the shield for spoiler purposes.

Is there a non battle damaged version of the figure? I don�t know if I need Mjolnir

Hawkeye is getting a Disney+ accurate figure in the not too distant future.

The Black Panther from the M�Baku BAF wave is probably the one you want, with the best Chadwick Boseman likeness.

Pick whichever Iron Man suit is your favourite, they�re all pretty good.

I want his suit from Endgame. I don't recall what Mark it is.

Ugh, looks like if I want all his accessories I need to get the battle damaged version from the Thanos 2-pack. I should never have gotten Thanos loose x_x

I have the Black Panther mentioned above, if you want to buy it. I am liquidating all my MCU figs, it's just too many. I have a few Star Lords and a few other characters, too.

How much you want for it?

I honestly liked parts of it, but overall I just felt like they had to put way too much into a movie to set up an entire next leg of the MCU. In the end I couldn't care much about lot of the characters because they fit 2 movies + of stuff into one film and that means they had to gloss over a lot of stuff.

I also thought it was really weird that there was a planet-destroying event happening and absolutely no other marvel heroes or even SHIELD bothered to show up for it.

SHIELD doesn't exist anymore, and I've long since stopped worrying about "why other heroes don't show up in other movies" because of the real world factors involved

That's the standard release, which I know because I bought that exact one at Target. The auction is mislabeled there. Scam or incompetence? Who knows...

The exclusive had a bunch of orange fire effects. Every version had the swappable heads.

I was never too happy with the regular release version I got because the paint apps were just not very precise on the uniform, like the little gold piping didn't line up where it should. I have thought about buying a fancy import or something where it'll be a better representation of the costume, cause it's a cool design. Thought about repainting it myself, but

I dunno, like $15 shipped? I will have to get my MCU Mls together after the holidays and take some pics, but if you want a bunch of them, I'll sell em to you cheap.

Off the top of my head I know I have:

Civil War Black Panther
Black Panther wave Black Panther (unsure if it's the m'Baku or Okoye one, I wanna say Okoye)
2-pack Agent Ross and Kilmonger
Solo Kilmonger in the BP suit from whichever wave that was
M'Baku wave Kilmonger in the fatigues
GotG1 Star Lord with the long jacket
GotG1 Rocket
GotG2 Star Lord solo release with the short jacket
GotG2 Rocket
GotG2 Ego
GotG2 Toy's R Us Groot (the one with the baby and the plant)
GotG1 Groot BAF
Civil War Iron-Man/Cap/Spidey 3 pack
A bunch of Ant-Man parts
Netflix Luke Cage and Claire Temple 2 pack

I forget what else. A lot of them are still in the box new, a bunch or loose. Will have to go track down what is what.

Oh yeah and I have some Fox X-Men figures I'm gonna offload too... Magneto, the Wolverines, and the Comic Con exclusives probably, I need to do an inventory. For awhile I was just grabbing MLs left and right as they came out if they even slightly struck my fancy because of how quickly they were selling out, and now I just have all this stuff and it needs to go.

There's a few here I want. Unfortunately I need to wait til I come into more funds. Is that alright?

Do you mean the MCU Iron-Spider or the comic version?

There is an MCU Iron-Spider with the legs as part of this two-pack:

https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Mvl-Legends-80th-ANV/dp/B07JND9SC1

For the comic version there was an Iron Spider-Man figure as part of the Spider-Man Signature Series several years back but an upgraded version is coming out for the Spider-Man 60th Anniversary line next year:

This very fancy MCU Iron Spider is also easy to find currently, and should scale well with Marvel Legends:

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/111458

Depending on what eBay prices look like for an older Legends figure, could be a relatively good deal, and probably a better toy.

I can get Iron Spider on his own for 50, but you�re kinda tempting me. Hm.

Is there any chance they�re gonna do Masterverse-articulated figures from the new kid-targeted show? I love those designs but the gimmick figures aren�t what I need in my collection.

Second hand information, but I've only heard glowing reviews. I'm 99% certain you have no experience with Monster-arts, but that's what you should expect if you have had.

But since I'm pretty sure you haven't- these are basically made like statues, so the plastic is way more rigid and harder than you're probably used to. Its a very different feeling kind of thing from Transformers or other action figure lines I've tried out. The articulation is, accordingly, not the MOST dynamic, but you can get them to do stuff. But if your sister is younger, might be best to avoid because these things aren't the friendliest to deal with. If that's not an issue, glowing review, have fun with the knowledge that the articulation isn't the best in mind.

My sister is in her 20's and I want to get her something more accurate and better sculpted than Schleich and other hardware store brand dinosaur figures.

I don't really expect dinosaur figures to be super articulated. It's the sculpt and accuracy I'm after.

These are absolutely what you want, how you want them. I'm waiting for some things to shift around but I cannot lie, I'm aching for the T-Rexes to come stomping out.

Diamond Select is this weird zombie toy company since they lost the DC line. I've been waiting on the Venom re-release for a while and God knows when that'll drop.

Good then. I decided I'm gonna start her on the Mononychus and Microraptor two pack, since the latter is one of her favorite dinosaurs.

I�ve been picking up the Jakks Pacific Sonic figures, starting with modern Eggman and the three pack with Classic Eggman, Classic Sonic and Mecha Sonic. They�re decent figures but the paint is disappointing on a lot of them.

I just received the Jakks Pacific 4 inch E-123 Omega figure. I'm so delightfully surprised by this thing. He has a good range of articulation, the paint is mostly fine, and he's a nice hefty size to boot. Very good results with this Sonic figure at least.
