Yeah, I've seen both. The paint apps and some of the sculpts haven't been great. Obviously the same can be said for some of the Marvel U line, but it atleast looked like they took some time on them. Falcon is the one in particular I thought looked atrocious in the Avengers Assemble line.

Aaaaaand...Entertainment Earth has a sale going on select Marvel Select figures. I just got the Abomination for $12. Their shipping cost isn't insane, so its actually still cheaper than Amazon with PRIME shipping.

I think they had Sabertooth, Abomination, Ghost rider and Rhino (possibly a few others) for $12, if anyone is interested. I almost bit on Ghost Rider and Rhino, but I couldn't do it.

Also, Zulithe, do you have any pics of a completed Rocket Raccoon? I got the MU box set that included him JUST for him. I'm curious about scale and such.

it's nothing against the character, it's just how many spidey marvel legends repaints do I really need? cause they've done a lot of them in recent years. bodies are nearly identical or have very minor differences.

Also: I just received Diamond Select Hulk (not the Avengers movie version, though that one is not bad)

He is MASSIVE and looks great alongside Marvel Legends figures. Now I need Diamond Select Juggernaut.

Ack sorry about that.

Here you go. Just a quick shot. I need a better setup to do some more epic scenes, I'm terrible

Good posability for a small build-a-fig IMO, but no leg movement. GREAT head movement and even the mouth opens/closes.

Here he is next to the Wolverine Legends wave Wolvie & Sabertooth

To anyone not willing to build him, I wouldn't worry, we are sure to get a Guardians Of The Galaxy movie version in 2014. But it may not be as good...?



In other news: Got my Wave 2 SW Black figs (Boba Fett, Slave Leia, Han & Greedo), I think Leia looks weird in the face but the other 3 figs are about as perfect as you can get for this price and size range. I really am happy with where this series is going.

Still seeking Emma Frost... But no way am I paying $40. Hope It will come back in stock at my usual retailers soon

heads up... if you have a smartphone (uhh why don't you if not?) get the target cartwheel app, right now you can get a 40% off all transformers construct bots coupon on there.

i've saved a lot of money using that app!

oh and if you have a target red card, it stacks with the 5% discount it gives

Thanks. I tried getting that APP, but it required TXTing, and I don't have that feature, and figure paying $10 to add the service wouldn't be worth it.

so I can do this to my Samurai Megazord

weird that it requires texting. it's never even sent me a txt. kinda dumb.

I have a $30/mo T-Mobile plan that has 5GB LTE data and unlimited txts. The minutes are capped really low though, but I don't use it for talking much Whatever you are paying for your non-txt plan... it's probably too much!
