hey guys, a london meeting without me?!?! how...how could you?? hahaha, j/k, nice grab from atriot you got there knightjar. mayb one day i'll meet you both, you can get me a figure each for dismissing me and then i'll decide whether or not to forgive you, hehe
finally decided that I will get the Sentinel from ML10 (i only need 6 out of 7) so i went to my local ASDA as somes cleared them out! they only had Mr Sinister, Cyclops and Mystique. so i grabbed the two i needed. when i went on thursday, they had omega red, angel and black panther *sigh*. i have another ASDA close to me but I don't know how to get there but i will be going next week, so hopefully i can complete my Sentinel. anybody got a complete one yet?

hope i can pick up a mystique at my ASDA......looks like she's gonna be hard to find. hardly any listed on ebay when i check, and haven't seen her in stores either.
yikhaichan
09-10-2005, 06:58 AM
guess i'm the lucky one, mystique and omega red have the same sentinel part, i wouldn't have minded getting one of those over her. nice female figure overall. she might be like the "elektra" series 4 fiasco where she was hard to find at first but isn't going for more then £5 or so on eBay

heh....yeah, i just snagged elektra for £5 on ebay, but the seller still hasn't sent me their address. i won a gambit as well....been after him for ages.

only me, kinghtjar and yikhai comes by london?? anyone else??
we should def meet up for a drink or food or watever one day.
*tried hard to ignore ML stuff* ----_____-----
the supe/shazam is pretty good. the story feels pretty "lite" though. maybe it's jus a soft start...
I saaw the new GR too... i liked the effect on GR but the restof the humans/angels facial proportions jjust dont seem right :p
yikhai. nice haul. seen inchigo OVA yet. effin hilarious! i started watching on ep 3. it's slightly more naughty too. :D
kong. maybe u can try.
yikhaichan
09-10-2005, 09:21 AM
i enjoyed "supes/shazam", was a nice read, i don't read much captain marvel but hes a good character, stronger then superman by a hair (and magic thunder). i didn'tpick up ghost rider, not much of a fan but i will watch the movie when it comes out (mayb on DVD)
i've seen all 12 standard episodes and the 3 OVAs so far, poor manaka, gets sucked into an all- girl's school and gets accused of being a pervert. 1 more OVA and thats it (isn't it)

visited my asda today after work....no ML.....doesn't look like i'm gonna find them cheap, so i bought another 3 that i need on the bay.....mystique, angel and cyclops. worked out at about 30 quid.
also....just bought 23 spawn comics for 20 quid. i'm embarking on a new mission to snag all spawn-related comics ever made, i doubt i'll ever succeed but it'll be a bit of a distraction. add those 23 to the 1 i already have! :D

i have two random issues of Spawn #121 and #122 if you want them. pay for p&p only? give me a shout if you need them, they look odd in my collection
gonna see if i can go to a different asda tomorrow, don't have high hopes so i may end up having to pay fp prices for them. at least you have mystique now. sentinel built yet?

hey everyone, I have been speaking to a seller on ebay about ordering some guyver figures from him and having them sent to the UK.
The figures would be sent from Hong Kong and I have already traded with this ebayer, as I bought my 3 guyvers from him as did my brother with fast delivery, good communications and with no problems what so ever
He said that if I were to get a few of us together in the UK that would want the guyver dark and the ne-zxtole or both then he would be able to give us a discount price.
Let me know if anyone is interested

ML12 already??? ML11 just cme out man. :p

09-16-2005, 04:00 AM
screw FP, theres gotta be some cheaper alternatives, cheaper then £12.99 at least...
just got the new marvel figurine #2 with wolverine. equally as nice as spider-man but £5.99 a pop sure does hurt my wallet. next one is ramos doc ock which i'll skip so its a month before my next one (the thing :eek: )
atriot_vl
09-16-2005, 04:20 AM
me bad. I thought you were wanting the SDCC Color bloody marv ;) 12.99 is a good price for that.
i'll most prob get wolvie later too. will post picswhen i do. unless u want to :p
the next one on my list would be magneto.

hmmm. looks tiny next to spidey :confused:
sorry for the backdrop of my cooking space in my room. :p
and took it quickly so pardon the blurrness :D
There's slight bleed of paint on wolvie, in the face and mask area, but nothing too terrible i think.
Claws on his right arm seems to not be pointing at the right direction but its just a minor quibble. I aint trying to push lead claws around. Dont wanna be left with a 2 claw wolverine :D
The effort to create his hairy arms looks kinda weird up close (like he's got moss growing on his upper arm :p ). but looks fine from far.
I like the pose and design. like the solid "feel" of the figure.
def worth getting if u r a wolverine fan. ;)

I just look at it as a "different take" on the character and story and have to leave some other older bats concept behind. *spoiler* that spread where the batmobile transform was pretty awesome :p and the Alfred+Vale panel looks like some cover for a soft porn/romance novel :D
ahhhh! about that no pick up thing. i actually gave up and told the seller to check how much combined postage is.... but she accidentally left me a bad feedback!!?! ahhhh. please tell me we can retract that.... to make up for it she's giving em to me for free !! :eek: ... actully i won em for pretty much close to nothing anyways. :p
I geuss it's a good lesson for sellers to not start items way below what they want for it unless they are know perfectly well it's a big gamble and could blow up right back at them. :(

nice try buddy, i can see you through my window. and what the hell is with the camera?!?!
she left you bad feedback "accidentally"?? luckily there is a way to mutually retract it but i don't really now the process. try going through:

you'll need the seller to go through it with you. at least you get it for free now, do you have to pay for shipping??

reading Ex Machina now. Am relaly enjoying it. I like the style of the art too. Anyone read it yet?
The writing is top notch though. Smart stuff. Hooked I am. :o
Nice new avtar Yikhai. That's the new Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk that was just annoucned wasnt it? Who's drawing? What else did he do before?
yikhaichan
09-17-2005, 03:27 PM
i haven't read Ex Machina and not too familiar with it but Brian K Vaughan is a pretty good writer. i'm reading his Ultimate X-Men run and although not as good as Mark Millar's, the latest ish is a pretty good read
yep, Ultimate Hulk Vs. Wolverine, set after the incidents of ultimates 2. Artwise, Leinil Francis Yu is doing the chores. hes done Superman: Birthright, did many issues of X-Men and Wolverine comics before his last (New X-Men 2001 annual) and he's also doing a book at the moment called "Silent Dragon"
atriot_vl
09-18-2005, 08:51 AM
Reading the Utlimates V2 now. the writingpretty good aint it? I like the art too. Kinda old school in a really nice way. I remember HItch was drawing something else before marvel snapped him up. was it authority?
Which book do u think is a good to get into Leinil yu's art?
oh btw...have anyone read excalibur the prelude to house of M yet?
Claremont will be ppearing in FP this friday!
yikhaichan
09-18-2005, 10:35 AM
ultimates v1 and v2 are excellent reads, marvel are doing an "Ultimate Avengers" straight-to-DVD animated movie which will be based on volume 1, no trailer of it yet but expected to be shown with f4 movie DVD. and your right in saying authority
although i've never read it, the cover art for "silent dragon" looks good. for me, i really liked his art in the new x-men annual 2001. the inker "simplified" his art in superman birthright but its a good read
i did read the 2 issues that were the prelude to house of M but the first one dealt with the ending of a story arc (didn't read anything before it so was completely lost) and the second one didn't reveal alot which wasn't shown at the start of HoM, so i could have done without it and still not lost any knowledge
you gonna go see claremont?
atriot_vl
09-18-2005, 10:48 AM
What else did he do before Authority??
So marvel is going down the animated line too eh? I thought DC had it all now.
ok will try and have look at that x men annual. but that pics from ur avatar looks good.
how was the art in the excalibur issues?
yeah I wanna get his autograph!! :eek: :p but hes only signing the excalibur book :(

I got my Spawn i.88 just there, like five minutes ago, and it kicks so much arse, it has crazy articualtion for a Spawn figure ( 1oth Anni. maybe) but it's awesomeness!!!!!!!! I'm actually glad I got unmasked , it looks much cooler with the way the cloak covers his face. All I gotta do now is, 1 find space for him, 2 keep him from falling over.
So hopefully only like 3 days till Spawn VII, yes!!!!!!! Rep for the British thread folk!!!

actually do any of us proper people buy toys in big numbers. Like for example, I'd rather buy several toys throughout the week than all in one day ( although that can be fun).
Or when the new SF series4 comes out will anyone buy the full line in one purchase, or a couple at a time. I myself will go for a couple at a time, that couple being Akuma and Fei Long.

It depends what i can find and how much i want the figures... If im looking for a certain figure line but i can only find 1 or 2 of them i'll buy them, then pick the rest up when i see them next. But if i like the figures alot, like SF Series 4 in your example, i already have them pre-ordered so i know ill get them all at once :)

to be honest...if they're all packed evenly, i can't see any of those being much of a pegwarmer.....at a push, i'd say maybe cyber spawn.....and possibly zombie.....

multiple trips means 2 things:

also being in malaysia where most of the stuff are sold in sets by specialty toy shops- we usually buy sets....

Just got an email off of the company I'm getting Spawn VII off, 5 days they said, 5 frikkin' days!!! I had to translate it cos it's in German, and on the email has the address they are sending out to, but it has my country as Germany, which will have to be sorted out. If I don't get my Spawn VII within a week, there'll be hell to pay, heads will roll, Germany will cease to exsist!!!

Okay I just opened Spawn VII and did a really rough paint job, just to make it look overall better. But, it feels like it's made of polystyrene!!!!! That being a really crappy material compared to all the other Spawn figures. But all in all, coolest.spawn.ever.

Nice haul Graham, although I feel the Sony PSP so far is slightly overrated in terms of enjoyment value. I have one and I've had it since May but I'm disappointed by the selection of games. Not that theres a limited amount of games, it's just there isn't alot that I wouldn't see myself playing. Alot of sports games and I've never been into them. Theres a lack of platformers and good beat-em-ups. Luckily, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Double Upper will be out soon as well as GTA and Irregular Hunter X. And I'll make my first UMD movie FFVII Advent Children when that comes out in January (anyone seen it yet?)
I've always wanted a Spawn VII but never had the space for one. Am I mistaken by saying there's never been an officially named "Spawn VIII" figure, although we've had so many since VII?
and what i've recently bought (no time for photos, sorry):
ML Black Panther (I have full Sentinel now, w00t)
Naruto - Naruto DX Collective File Figure
Sasuke - Naruto DX Collective File Figure
Justice League Superman and Batman 10" Figures

Phoenix Blaze
09-28-2005, 07:56 AM
That's what I was thinking cos I've got I, V and VII, so I might coolect all the "Spawn ( enter no.) figures, so what happened after VII? I think the idea of a new official Spawn figure is excellent.
My friend should hopfully bring his camera down on saturday after we go towning, so I'll get some pics then, although it ain't much of a repaint, but considering the original paint job, then it's okay.
Oh and I'm getting a deapool ( I already got a thread on it) off of ebay, I'll hopefully get it soon (ish, I paid first class!!)
Now that I'm at Uni, I can't help but go into town afterwards and hit FP or A1 to see what they've got, so as soon as say, Series 28 hits, I'll be picking some things up, although this will mean I have feth all money to go out drinking or whatever.

Hmm, I having doubts about buying the rest of the series, I mean I don't really like ML, they feel quite crappy in you hands. If they released a Cable when he's younger (from Cable and Deadpool, issue 19ish) then I'd buy that without question, but most of the figures look pretty bad. I'll be keeping my Omega Red, he is like one of the best bad guys. Oh, is there a Dr. Doom ML? Or will I have to hunt down a Marvel select one?

dr doom was in ML2, and the doombot variant was re-realeased with ML8......he's a ***** to track down though.....it'll be cheaper to get the marvel select one. that's what i did. but i'd still snap up the ML given the chance. :D
yikhaichan
09-30-2005, 11:29 AM
That Cable you described is pretty obscure. When I first saw him, I thought he looked alot like X-Man (Nate Grey). Because of the popularity of Cable (or lack of), I don't think we'll see much of him but X-Man on the other hand may see the light of day
I'd rather get the Marvel Select Doom then the Legends one. The Select one has a better looking mask and a freaking throne. I rarely see much of ML2 on eBay apart from human torch.
Phoenix Blaze
09-30-2005, 11:48 AM
Nate Grey was Cable or rather another world kind of Cable, it's only really in the Deadpool and Cable comics ( that's what it should be called:D ) that I've seen Cable young.
So if they make and X-Man, (who was so cool!!!) then that'd effectively be a young Cable.
The current look of cable in the ML line is awful, I've never liked the look at all.
atriot_vl
09-30-2005, 01:34 PM
yeah. definately the Select Doom. The doombot goes for more than the Select doom sometimes :eek:
actually ML are supposed to kinda cheaper than the regular specialty figures. more catered towards mass market. but when it gets to UK the prie jus becomes :eek: so they aint as worth it.
like back in Malaysia a regular McF fig costs RM50 (or RM60 if its movie maniacs or music). ML retails for around 29.900 RM. so i think it's kinda u pay for wat u get. and for a few instances u get more than ur money's worth (bike's, bases, accesories, etc not forgetting those free poster books :p )
btw I was the Dr. Octopus Marvel figurines today. the box is bigger than the earlies issues to fit his tentacles but I am not as impressed as the prev figs. Maybe I aint keen on Dc Ock in the first place :p
but i cant find the star wars figurine!!!! :(

the pics for ML12 and 13 are up over the net. Too small to make much out but I only want X-23, Astonishing Wolverine and Bishop. Undecided on ML13 but how the hell are Crimson Dynamo and Blackheat "Big Bad's"? Crimson Dynamo was a public-made character during Marvel's "Epic" Talent Search 2 years ago. Why does he get a figure??
Bitterness, £15.00 isn't too bad now for Deadpool. I'd hoped he'd have his "Cable & Deadpool" suit/harness but it turned out ok

Yeah the teleporter would've been cool. I got issue 20 today, pretty cool, a bit short, but the BAD girls add that needed "lift":D
I also picked up a limited edition of Appleseed the anime, came in a cool metal tin and I got the Demons and Wizards album, touched by the Crimson King, pretty good album.
I've just reaslised, in his quest for post number 2000, kitch better make sure he doesn't get post number 1999, cos he can't double post to get 2000!!!
So beware kitch, think before you type.....

As much as I feel "Cable & Deadpool" is the funniest book in my list, I will have to stop getting it after the Bosom Budies arc, just because there are too many other books better then it and I can't afford it
I was checking through old issues of Previews and saw the Marvel Figurine of The Hulk and found that the special issue is only £9.99. Considering the size of the lead figure, its a shway deal. I think its out November. I found an image on another forum:

Do you have all the back issues of C and DP, if so can you please fill me in on what's been going on, I only started on issue 18.

I do but I can't remember what happens without having to read all 17 issues again. I'll look through all the neat recap pages and get you up to speed with why Cable went from baby to teenager to *****-kicker with no powers soon.
So very close to #2000, but so damn far...

#2000 is mine! Screw you, KITCH, hahahaha
Yeah, I saw Cult Classics II on Thursday. I saw one Freddy without the hat and alternate head in the package, hehe. NECA have used some pretty flimsy clamshells, most of the ones I saw were badly deformed
As for Alex Ross Justice, I went to every comic store last Thursday and none had actually got them in. Must have been a shipping error because FP only had Batman (at £15.99, total rip). So hopefully I'll finally get one this Wednesday.
The Hulk isn't based on anything I'm familair with
EDIT, haha, too late Graham.

He's got you there, remember, post 2001 is the 2000th reply, cos the initial post doesn't count. Damn you graham, in the last five minutes or so this thread has been like the most active ever, like ever.
