I might adopt the smaller scale if they look decent in person, as I have been disappointed with the hasbro ML offerings and not collecting anything is boring. Especially if I can get a good psylocke, blink, or dagger character out of this stupid poll.

I just got a chance to look at that picture of the Pick-A-Hero for the first time on a real screen and not on my iPod, and I would kill for a Hood figure. I'd also really like a good Mary Jane, as the one I have from the first Spider-Man movie series is just so-so. Are the ones on that poster the ones people that can be voted for? Because Blink isn't even on that list  .

With the ML line entering its twilight years, I think I am finally going to catalogue and sell off all of my old ML figures that I bought just out of OCD habit and don't really want. Hopefully this will give me the cash to buy up the last few figures I actually want for my collection. On a COMPLETELY unrelated noted, with the Original TMNT re-releases coming out, I figured there might be a little interest in this: There is a small 350￥(~$4) Store down the street from me that has a poo poo load of Casey Jones, Krang, the Aloha Shirt Frog Guy, and I want to say the metallic robot Turtle. They are all in their original packaging from the 90s/late 80s, so if anyone wants them let me know. The bios, etc. on the package are in Japanese, of course. I can fit a few in my suitcase and then mail them to you when I get back to the States (23rd). If you don't care about packaging, then I can package them loose in my luggage and fit a lot more. The Capm posted:I'm also ok with Marvel Legends slowing to a trickle. It's weirdly satisfying to have almost an entire line like this, with an end in sight. I wonder if interest in the old figures will ever dry up and it will be easier to patch up the few things I'm missing? Blink. I just want a modern Blink figure so badly  .

Vintersorg posted:Casey Jones, Metalhead and Krang would be awesome, original packaging is nice but if you need to fit more thats fine loose. Sounds good man, I will head to the store in the next day or two and see if they still have them. There were a ton when I was in there before (like 10-15 of each figure) but they also seemed to be pretty popular and sold a fair amount while I was there. Speaking of Street Fighter, I picked up Chun Li and Ryu from the Revoltech Street Fighter Online. They are smaller figures, but the sculpts on them look pretty solid and they have awesome articulation. I'd never heard of these before, and they seem to be based off of a Street Fighter Online game (the packaging proudly proclaims that you can see the Revoltech joints on the models in the game). I must be pretty out of the loop.

I just now saw the MU figures for the first time in person (and the Wolverine: Origins line), and Holy Hell I'm not touching those. If they end up releasing some of my absolute favorite characters I might pick up them up, but even then they would really have to improve the paint app.

Xenomrph posted:I actually get a kick out of the DC Universe counterparts; I've got a couple of them and I'm not even a DC comics reader at all. They're less expensive and I think they look a LOT better. But spending $8.00? Hell no. I thought the exact same thing. At my Target they are on pegs RIGHT next to each other, and the difference is sickening. Hasbro really needs to fight for better placement, because them being side by side is an embarrassment.

I wanted to do a quick interest check, but I'm moving soon and have a pretty big collection of figures I want to offload. I stopped collecting when the ML line died off, but I'm looking to get rid of a big lot of Toybiz ML, Hasbro ML, SquareEnix Play Arts and a few miscellaneous figures. Total might be in the 80 figure range, including BAF and BAF parts. Do you think there would be enough interest to list it here/ on SA Mart? I'm not looking to make a huge profit, just a little pocket change.

Dre2Dee2 posted:Always depends on condition and demand of a particular figure, but couldn't hurt. Do you have any chase figues and such? All of the figures are opened, but have lived their lives on a shelf. I have some chase figures, but none of the extremely early ML ones (and I'm keeping a few for myself, like Dark Phoenix). I'm thinking of just taking pictures and doing an auction starting at $40 + shipping and hoping to get maybe $60 for them all. I forgot to add in that I will have a bunch of mini mates, mighty muggs and superhero squad.

I didn't manage to find most of my figures; they're sadly still missing somewhere in the abyss of my old house. So the muggs and most of the A-list figures are still coming, but for now here are the figures I DID find, if anyone is interested in them: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3405688

Fantabulero posted:No joke. I'd probably pay top dollar for a ML Scarlet Spider that looks that nice (I rarely buy toys anymore, but apparently I make exceptions for plastic versions of clones?) but I'm just not interested in the MU line at all. Agreed. I've been out of collecting for years, but the three things that could bring me back are a nice ML Scarlet Spider, Cloak or Psylocke. I was so excited when the MK Psylocke was announced, but it really disappointed me once I saw it on the pegs.

I've been out of collecting for a long time (I gave up the ghost a few waves in to Hasbro ML)--but I need that Voltron. Holy poo poo, is it awesome. Is the only way to get it via a sub? Will it not be retail? I've never done a sub before, so I'm out of my element.

I ran into the Spider-Man legends figures for the first time last night. It took all of my willpower to resist picking up ASM2, Superior and Carnage. That Carnage figure is really nice, but I was a little upset that he didn't include an axe-hand (if he had, I would've snagged him). One thing I didn't realize was that there is a Julia Carpenter version of Spider-Woman in that wave. I haven't seen much talk about her--how rare is she, and is the figure any good?

I'm interested in seeing the Nightmare Before Christmas ones in person, just because I'm a pretty big fanboy of that movie. I'm sure some of my friends who like Firefly will froth at the mouth to pick up the Firefly figures once they hear about them, too. I do agree that a lot of the cool appeal is lost since these aren't reproductions of actual retro figures, though.

What are my best options for Street Fighter figures right now? I know that the both NECA and SOTA did multiple series of them, but if I recall one of the two had a tendency to have stiff joints that easily snapped. I like the look of the Play Arts Kai ones, but they're a little expensive and they don't have as wide of a variety as the NECA or SOTA lines. If they Play Arts Kai ones are better by miles, though, I'll just suck it up and start picking those up.

 lovely cellphone pic, but Samus and I agree--the Metroid Figma is loving amazing. Hand swaps were incredibly easy, too, compared to some older Figmas and other random figures I have sitting around. EDIT: Add me to the list of people looking to buy Carnage and Spider-Woman if anyone finds extras (preferably not at TRU prices).

Just got Spider-Woman in the mail from STUPID SEXY FLANDERS and I'm tickled with the figure. The paint app is kind of sloppy on the face, but the figure itself looks better in person than it did in pictures! Unfortunately it's going to spur me on to pick up Carnage and at least one of the two Spideys now.
