QUOTE(damien1986 @ May 14 2011, 09:12 PM) luckily my brother there is willing to check on the paint job and all Grats on your awesome haul there bro .  but u are right man, MU QC can sometimes be as bad as trash  Due to mass production of toys by Hasbro ,there's no doubt that issues like paint chipping and smudging ,loose joints and even missing accesories are rather common occurence . Still no sign of the new MU wave ,most likely Hasbro is busy focusing on DOTM sales . |

I apologise that the figures below are on the scale of 6" and above but I included some comparison shots with the 3 3/4" versions .
I changed my mind about getting the ML 2 packs .Don't want to regret later . DP turns out to be pretty awesome than I initially expected ,with removable katana sheaths ,webgear and hip holster . And since Marvel Select DP is selling at a pretty steep price ,I'll have to be content with this version . Might grab another DP later . Black Widow is another winner .Hasbro has improved on their female face sculpts . Deadpool fans should not miss out on this version .   Toybiz and Hasbro's version of DP  Stripped of all gear ,he still looks impressive     Babes  This post has been edited by darkshadow: May 17 2011, 03:54 PM |

QUOTE(plastictemple @ May 19 2011, 04:06 PM) yeah i agree. the marvel 2 packs exceeded my expectation. warpath was good too. i didn't manage to see any variant. Yeah ,it's pricier compare to MU but it's around twice the size of an average MU figure .Plus more articulation ,better headsculpt and body detailing ,it's worth the price .any sightings in TRU PG? the last time i chk there were abt 2 boxes of DP left in ikano TRU. however the retail price is very high  DP is selling for around RM200 on ebay.my .That's even pricier . No variants sighted at PG TRU .I would like to get Widow in her classic grey outfit . There are 3-4 Black Widow and Hulk sets but only 2 DPs sighted . |

QUOTE(plastictemple @ May 19 2011, 05:22 PM) Thks. I only heard the variants were available in TRU Sg. Must have skipped MY entirely. I sure hope there won't be any increment for MU figs .Should Hasbro include some extras for the MU line ,then perhaps it justifies the increment ,Look at Mattel's movie line offering of Green Lantern .The figures sport basic 80's style of articulation and yet each one cost RM49.90 .It is quite worrying how the retail prices have sky-rocketed. The DC universe Green Lantern is going for RM99.90! I heard MU is going to be increase to RM44.90. Just when I thought the recent foreign exchange between USD and RM has weakened! Ah the irony. Darkshadow, are you based in PG? And yes ,I'm from PG . |

QUOTE(FunkyMonkiBaby @ May 20 2011, 04:26 PM) Previously DCU figures were RM79.90 now RM 99.90..refrain from buying 6 pcs to build a bigger figure and we can get Hot Toys. Surely by now ,the 2 top toy companies must know by now that their action figures market centers around adult collectors .Even my local TRUs and toy shops are frequented by working adults .Hasbro and Mattel are trying to profit from us cuz they know that toys are no longer for kids but for big boys with loaded wallet. Marvel figures by ToyBiz was only RM 29.90 when i first saw them at TRU in 2005. After Marvel action figure rights acquired by Hasbro, 6 inch was retailing RM 39.90 only. NOw its the price for 3.75 inch hasbro MU figures. Lately Hasbro also dun offer any MU 3.75 inch figures to my local TRU. Every week NERF NERF NERF only. SIen.. Yeah ,the good ol' days when Toybiz 6" ML line was sold for only RM 29.90 .Got whole of wave 6 ,most of waves 5 ,7 ,8 and 9 for that price .And I remembered getting 2 ML Blade from TRU ,and it was one of my successful hauls . And they come with a comic or sculpted dio base stands or vehicles for a low price .Sigh ,the good ol' days . Added on May 20, 2011, 5:03 pm QUOTE(lowyatben @ May 20 2011, 04:56 PM) It's not like toys are like comics... I mean, with comics you have omnibuses, absolute editions and what not and they're really value for money. Seriously ,bro ?Selling your entire collection ?Not leaving some for nostalgic purpose ?I mean, recently I purchased Thor by Walt Simonson Omnibus for RM426.00 less 30 per cent, and it collects all of the legendary creator's Thor stories (40 issues in total). And the colours on each panel, each page has been digitally remastered. I also own Absolute Watchmen, Absolute New Frontier, Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths, etc and yes, they're expensive but at least I get to read them, enjoy every detail of the artist's artwork, get myself transported into the story created by the writer(s) and artist(s) and re-read them again and again and get totally new experiences each time, discover new things etc. So yeah, they're value for money purchases. But when it comes to toys, spending over RM50, RM100, even RM300 for one plastic? I'd rather read comics and graphic novels. I've been collecting Star Wars since the 70s but man, RM40 for one figure these days? And with Hasbro playing hide-and-seek with us, skipping waves even, jacking up prices as and when they feel like it as though we have no other avenues to buy them other than in TRU, Parkson, Isetan... well, please don't push it. I might decide to sell off my entire collection and send my kid to university and say bye bye to toys forever. Speaking of omnibuses ,Hasbro's G.I. Joe ,SW ,MU ,TF and other previously short-lived movie based toy line did include boxsets comprising of several figs .So that's Hasbro's version of "omnibus" . On a side note ,I do collect some of Dark Horse's omnibus offering ,plus most of Classic G.I. Joe Omnibus .But this is not the comics thread .

QUOTE(plastictemple @ Jun 2 2011, 03:25 PM) yup, the price increase is region wide. Wow ,the price increment for action figures debate still goes on .can't believe with the strengthening of the MYR, toys are actually becoming more expensive... so sad looking forward to this book-compendium MU  Personally ,I wouldn't mind paying the additional RM2-3 provided Hasbro includes additional accesories and tighten up on their QC .Paint chipping ,sloppy paint jobs ,warping accesories or even limbs due to dynamic position while in packaging are simply unacceptable .Same goes for loose joints . As for the X-Men pack ,I'll definitely skip it .The only new figure being Storm and a repaint of Warpath are not enuf to persuade me parting with my moolah . Also ,Wolverine is a repaint of the Wolverine Origins version which I already owned . On the other hand ,if it's a Jim Lee version of X-Men pack ,then it's on my buy list . |

QUOTE(Duke Beard @ Jun 15 2011, 06:45 PM) How can that be?!?!?!?! I need Cable, Cyclops and Apocalyspes!!! Yeah ,sucks though .Just got back from TRU with a small haul . Will grab the rest from the other outlet on the weekend . I didn't realise TRU marked up the price to RM42.90 for basic fig and RM59.90 for comic pack . Bcoz of this ,I won't be getting a 4th DP comic pack .Same goes for Doom ,since he's a repaint from the Secret Wars comic pack which I already owned .  |

QUOTE(FunkyMonkiBaby @ Jun 16 2011, 12:02 PM) I spotted DDx2, SSx2, Skaarx2, DSx2, Falconx2 but Gladiator and APO x1. I thought this wave have Cyclops but apparently doubles for some characters. Just like SW figures, all 3.75 inch fr Hasbro also gone up price. No Apoc in PG TRU .Someone beat me to it . The revision case of Wave 14 consists of Cable ,Cyke and Apoc . Added on June 16, 2011, 12:48 pm QUOTE(plastictemple @ Jun 16 2011, 09:52 AM) i didnt see any cable though The regular case which TRU received didn't have Cable .This post has been edited by darkshadow: Jun 16 2011, 12:48 PM |

QUOTE(FunkyMonkiBaby @ Jun 16 2011, 03:50 PM) I thought someone has bought the rest until I went back and checked online stores' assortment. Since Hasbro missed Wave 13, what is the likelyhood they would bring in Wave 14 rev 1? TRU outlets in PG never brought in revision case assortment for MU since wave 3 .Added on June 16, 2011, 5:40 pm QUOTE(plastictemple @ Jun 16 2011, 05:14 PM) i only saw the 2 packs, loads of DD, spidey and a few hulks. To clarify again ,there's no Cyke in this wave .no cyclops and Apo! scalpers are fast  Apoc is packed at 1 per case and he's damn fast sold out .  Check the pic below for case assortment .This was already mentioned by FunkyMonkiBaby .  This post has been edited by darkshadow: Jun 16 2011, 05:40 PM |

QUOTE(plastictemple @ Jun 16 2011, 06:58 PM) whats the variant in tis wave? It's Dr. Strange Clear Variant ,a translucent version that is somewhat similar to Vision's variant .Added on June 16, 2011, 7:53 pm QUOTE(Duke Beard @ Jun 16 2011, 07:13 PM) Managed to snag Skaar. WW Hulks looks way more awesome and detail IMO. Indeed .Plus more accesories too . At least Skaar has a humongous sword with working sheathe .Doom ,Strange and Gladiator each sports only a removable cape .Three characters with capes for this wave .
