Thanks for those lists guys, that is exactly what I was looking to see. Part of me would really like to have some shelves full of the Marvel Universe, and I've been seriously considering adding some more to the mix. If I can figure out a new place from some of the Star Wars stuff to free up some shelf space, I might get started on that. I'm thinking about holding out for the Fantastic Four box set, just because it would probably be a cheaper way to go (although I do see Human Torch, Thing, and Mr. Fantastic around here a lot)...and I'm definitely saving some cash for the Sinister Six set. Other past figures I've been considering include Captain America (although I haven't seen one for awhile, might have to wait for the next version instead), Iron Man (another comic that I was fairly regular with as a kid, and the figure seems good...again, might have to wait for the next one), Silver Surfer (don't know much about him, but the figure looks cool), and upcoming wave figures such as Brown Wolvie, Juggernaut, Phoenix, Iceman, Storm, Hawkeye, Vision, etc. Thanks again for the info and advice guys!

ML VI should be out real soon. A buddy picked up a Juggernaut at a collector store in Canada, so mass release must be awfully soon.

Really? I like most of the ML VI lineup, but I'm probably going to skip Cable. He just never interested me as a character.

I also caught an 80's episode of Spiderman and his Amazing Friends this morning, and they featured the Sandman. Is anybody else surprised that he hasn't been made in the Spiderman Classics line?

Morgbug · « **Reply #393 on:** July 10, 2004, 05:02 PM »

Sandman is kind of there. In one of the early figures from the spiderman classics line, on the cardboard, uh, card he is there, kind of webbed into/onto a wall.

I am surprised he has not been done, but less surprised that Mysterio has not been done yet. That is a figure I am just dying for. I admit I hope they do a second sinister six box set. Another spidey wouldn't hurt and they still have plenty of characters to include:
Sandman
Mysterio
ManWolf

and they could easily do repaints/resculpts of Carnage, Doc Ock and Vulture.

I know formally they aren't sinister six, but they could still package them that way. Heck, get Marvel to do a miniseries around it for the cross promotion.

Sandman would make a great ML/SC figure, and I can't believe he's too far off in the distance. Mysterio, too.

Brian · « **Reply #395 on:** July 12, 2004, 08:26 AM »

I caught that Sandman episode this weekend as well, and he is one of Spidey's "baddies" that I would hope they would make the most. Mysterio would be an excellent figure as well, and I think both of these would look great in the ML/SC treatment. I picked up Carnage this weekend (actually my first true Spidey baddie until the box set comes out). The figure isn't too bad, does anyone else's have a really loose head/neck joint. Mine did right out of the package, but otherwise its not too bad.

Morgbug · « **Reply #396 on:** July 12, 2004, 12:12 PM »

Truthfully I haven't opened Carnage yet. In my never ending line, we're still looking for a house and without a proper space to display him, I just haven't opened it yet. I swear, eventually we'll move and I'll put up more shelves.

Bit of a pain with LOTR and ML stuff though, so big that it takes up a ton of space.

We need a Kingpin figure.

So true, so very true. This is one of Marvel's biggest baddies (in more ways than one). Surprised that he has been neglected this long, hopefully he is coming up soon. I'd like to see what Toy Biz would do with a Kingpin figure.

Nicklab · « **Reply #398 on:** July 12, 2004, 01:26 PM »

Indeed. He's been a major player in the storylines of Daredevil, Spiderman and the Punisher. He's certainly due.

Scott · « **Reply #399 on:** July 12, 2004, 01:27 PM »

I want Kingpin too...he's gonna be huge though if they ever do him

Nicklab · « **Reply #400 on:** July 12, 2004, 03:12 PM »

Well, Hulk and Thing were both pretty big. I think they can fit him in a bubble.

I've given some serious thought to selling off some of the dudes who were not in the Avengers or Secret Wars (Gambit, Elektra, Punisher etc) Not sure yet what I'm going to do. I'd like to say I got rid of a bookcase full of toys. Make my wife happy and make it a little less unwieldy. Although with the Simpsons winding down and not much I'll be buying for Legends and LOTR maybe its a managable stage right now. Stay tuned!

Brian · « **Reply #402 on:** July 12, 2004, 03:26 PM »

I know what you mean, that is one of the reasons I'm really contemplating what to do about my Legends collecting. I'd really like to broaden the collection, but they do take up a lot of space. I'm trying to figure out how to move some more Star Wars stuff into my closet (shelving in there), so I can free up the extra bookcase for Marvel stuff. With the Spidey stuff (and SS box set coming up) as well as the Legends I have and would like to pick up, I'm going to need some room. Hmmm...at least the minimates are wee and only take up one little shelf right now.

Also, I see that Julius Marx has a new column up that contains lots of pictures of the Fantastic Four box set. I'm thinking about picking this one up, to be able to get the whole shebang at once (and a little cheaper). He also has the Spider-Man 2 Movie figures (Wave 4). This is the pizza chuckin' Spidey and the bendy tentacles Doc Ock. I've been holding off on getting a Doc Ock so far, to see what this one would be like. Hopefully it will show around here (of course, I think the other version has disappeared around here as well right now).

Finally scored a Carnage at Target this weekend. There were three of him there, and no Spidey variants. Best of all, he was priced at $5.55. Can't beat that with a stick.
