Marvel Universe 3 3/4" - Anyone Picking These Up?

[pdaaat]

Don't make an extra trip or nothin', but if you see one retail under $10 and you're already gonna stand in a checkout line for other stuff, then I'd appreciate it.....I'm usually seeing the figures running $7 or $8.....is that what you guys are seeing, too? (LCS just about doubles the price).

They run 9.92 at WM.

They were Toys R Us exclusives early last year (if not earlier) 'Soldiers & Henchmen' with Hand/SHIELD/Hydra agents and Spider Man and his Amazing Friends (with no accessories for any of 'em....pretty uninspired).

They also did an even more uninspired repaint set of Iron Man, Surfer and DD )yellow/brown costume) pack as well.

Oh, yeah.....that was pretty uninspired

Honestly I liked the henchmen set. If it were not such a pain it would have been a great army builder if that's your thing. I admit the lack of gear was a bummer, however By a few Joes and use theirs lol. I like the idea of a bunch of SHIELD and HYDRA agents. Ninjas too but still. I still say they should make them all like Joes.

The more I have the figs on the same shelf the more I think I should write fan fiction, because I am very fond of the Wold Newton and I think that this comes from my love for crossovers. In any case I think the ones thing I would change is having the SHIELD soldiers come with changeable heads, so you could also then make recognizable agents - Dum Dum etc.

If they're weren't $10 a pop, I'd have a shot of Cap pummelling several AIM troopers.  "Take that braniacs!"

[Jonas]

I'd like to have a squad of SHIELD taking on and being pummeled by the wrecking crew. Then fighting their way towards them through a bunch of AIM / HYDRA / Hand would be the Avengers.

That's probably why I didn't see them. Wasn't at the right place at the right time and they didn't later slip out to another retailer. Think I saw the Iron Man, Surfer and DD one elsewhere. Things get weird distribution later on.

MU figure distro is lacking at best. Wave 11 was skipped up here entirely.

Saw the Galactus figure at Toys R Us today. Amazing work. Unfortunately, I don't have the room for something of that scale.

Not even for 19 bucks on Amazon?

LOL nah because of our custody schedule we celebrate on the 21st, as the kids douchetard father gets them on Christmas. So aside from stockings and a few Santa presents all the exchanging happened already. We do keep the stocking for them so Santa can fill them.

Oh, okay, you can have your Galactus

My Galactus came in the mail from sister. Sadly, the postal service "tore" open a spot.

Picked up a second AIM soldier in a moment or weakness.
