FunkyMonkiBaby, I salute you

Good thing I'm not into these, though

Thanks to Bro FunkyMonkiBaby, I have Loki!

Got me an Ultimate Hawkeye @ TRU. Just because.

Hmmm... perhaps I should keep him carded. For now. At least. Don't wanna risk it. Otherwise, spoil my mood for the much anticipated film

Major dilemma...

1) If get Ultimate Thor, but didn't manage to get Ultimate versions of Iron Man and Captain America previously. But I got meself an Ultimate Hawkeye because I like the design.

2) Therefore, I went and purchased all movie versions of Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Hulk in this latest Avengers packaging. And Loki too. Just to pair him with Red Skull from Captain America line from last year. But I'm missing Nick Fury. And unsure if there'll be Black Widow and Hawkeye in later waves.

3) But should I continue with comic versions? I only have Captain America (modern blue, red, white) and Commander Steve Rogers, Modern Thor, Modular Armour Iron Man, Red Hulk, World War Hulk, Skaar, Ronin, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Spider-Woman, Black Widow, Yellowjacket, Spider-Man, Iron Spidey, Astonishing Wolverine, Quicksilver, Wonder Man, Daredevil (classic red costume)... So my Avengers is kinda rojak with a mix of Classic, New and Heroic Age. And let's not get me started on Dark Avengers. I have Iron Patriot, Dark Spider-Man, Dark Wolverine, Dark Hawkeye, Sentry but I'm missing Moonstone Ms. Marvel. And still no sign of Ares and Marvel Boy. And Marvel Comics has a new Dark Avengers now. And Thunderbolts is being re-titled Dark Avengers soon so I'm pretty sure we'll get a mix of old, present and some new faces.

Sucks to be a completist nowadays, eh? Well, I'm not a completist when it comes to the MU line but it sure disappoints big time once you start a collection and either you're missing an exclusive character or it never gets produced. I'm sure fellow collectors like you guys know the feeling, right?

The Avengers Captain America costume looks terrible in the trailers. But somehow, he fits nicely with the other members of the Avengers Trinity in the 3 3/4" scale so I got him (and Hulk too). But the "Hulk Buster" Iron Man (the one that also has another set with Cap and his "Buster") is way too big to battle a shorter Hulk. Aiseh! So I skipped that. And the 6" Hulk doesn't fit in. Yeah, Hulk can grow taller (I think) but his pants would've been totally ripped off (unless he's wearing the stretchable type). So I passed on that too.

Added on March 30, 2012, 10:01 pm... But the Hulk looks taller in it, though. Hmmm...

But that 49.90 Hulk's hands are held upright, am I right? Gotta squeeze the left hand for "action"...

Added on March 30, 2012, 10:32 pmAny idea if the "Hulkbuster" will make an appearance in the film?

What about War Machine?

What about the Red Skull? I read a rumour about it before.

And Black Panther, Cap America and Iron Man too. But priced at over RM100. Not worth a single sen on these. Even if you do not already have a Black Widow, it doesn't make sense to pay more than RM100 for a single figure and figure stand/base that lights up. Cheap gimmick!

Oh, remember those highly overpriced X-Men First Class CPs? These Black Widow, etc come with that Chinese stickers too. That means they're brought in directly by Li Fung and priced at an exhorbitant amount. Collectors, stay far, far away from these. No point paying APs and supporting unscrupulous businesses. TRU is selling at scalper's prices! LOL!

Marvel Universe version. Not movie line.

These are from Wave 2.

Wave 1 which is in stores now has Black Widow, Black Panther, Captain America (Steve Rogers), and Iron Man.

And the ones in the photo that you showed are missing the Chinese stickers. ANytime you see them, you know they're overpriced.

Anyone getting Marvel Select Avengers Movie Hulk to assemble your Avengers team? As mentioned in an earlier post, I'd gotten the 3 3/4" Captain America (yeah, don't look at the ears and the gun holster and you'll be merry), Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk but I've also ordered Marvel Select Hulk as it's more in scale compared to the 3 3/4" Hulk. I mean, if I were to fork out over RM100 for a figure, I'd rather get this Hulk than any of those overpriced MU with base gimmick and Chinese stickers and labelled as TRU exclusives.

Nope. They're the Chitauri.



But Hasbro's line looks like this:


And here's Marvel Select:


Oh, and here's Lego's:

Hulk is 15 feet!

So, even Marvel Select Hulk which stands at 8" (?) is not in scale when placed next to Hasbro's 3 3/4" ones.

(No, I haven't watched the movie so I'm not sure how tall the Hulk is!)

Oh, so Marvel Select or Marvel Legends is more in scale? Cool!

So big but so INCREDIBLE, eh? Ya, ya... too unrealistic but it's comic (and movie) after all, right?
