UK findings and buying thread

You caught that repainted Odin too huh?
I think the first one looks more like Hopkins than the grayer beard.
Was he the only variant so far.

I came ever so close to picking up the first version but decided against it.

I did pick up Cap America US Agent, and Capt Britian. No Cross Bones to be found though.

Also TRU had the Classic X-Men 6 pack with the first version Storm! And Thunderbird!

Now if they would only do a Brotherhood of the Evil Mutants, or Freedom Force box set.
Or even a Hellfire Club.

I think it's the only one so far, the first version looks too dowdy for the all-father IMO.

The whole figure looks uninposing, repaint or not.

It does, poor Odin

I picked up Duke Nukem from FP £13.99, WWE Melina from TRU £9.99, Battlefield Cap from FPI £7.99.

I also saw MU Gladiator in Asda so if you're looking for Cable, Apocalypse or Cyclops might be an idea to check there.

Got a a MotUC Optikk loose for £14.95, Mezco green shirt Scott Pilgrim from FPI £12.99 & Addams Family season 1 for £12 from hmv

OH snap getting my arse to Asda tonight

I passed on the duke, didnt like the look of him

Cheers for the heads up mate!

I heard that Hamley's have in wave 13 as well but they're about £5 dearer

Duke is a nice figure overall, his head is a bit off & his shoulder articulation takes some getting used too. I'm actually hoping that unimax go after the 3.75" scale Duke license (they do Crysis 2 & Assassins' Creed 2 lines) that way we are guaranteed more characters & weapons.

It was those two things that put me off. He just looks weird plus the price didint help.

If they do 3 3/4" scale they have to do some ladies

Posed he looks decent, but that weird articulation doesn't really work

I just want more than a basic Duke which is all we will get with NECA.
A couple of Pig Cops, an Octo-brain, the Holsom twins, Kitty Pousoix & a couple of versions of Duke would do me fine.

I could go for that

Looking at jazwares MK figs and they look as wank as ever. What a bunch of useless twats and a waste of some great characters!!

I'm not looking forward to seeing their Street fighter 3.75 range either

I shudder at the prospect mate

We should be seeing them soon, they may at least be good for a giggle if nothing else.

Sota were doing such a great job but they suck

Agreed, Play arts are doing a Chun Li & Ryu which could be good if expensive.

and too big too

9 inches of big

There's always the revoltech versions they're roughly 4"

Saw Captain America wave 2 in Asda they had Capt. Britain, Heroic Age Cap, USAgent & Snowboarding Cap. I picked up the Capt. Britain £7.77.

Picked up CA:TFA Red Skull & Crossbones from FPI £7.99 each, Adventures in Babysitting Cable & Apocalypse from Asda £7.97, they had all the wave including Jim Lee Cyke, FA Wolvie, Gladiator, they also had Spiderwoman & Spidey 2099 from wave 12.

My fucking Asda's have jack shit in them. All 3 of the cunts but as long as I can get their awesome clothes i forgive them

Mine are all over the place with what they've got, I've got one with no marvel figures what so ever, one with MU wave 7 & 2 full price XO: Wolverine figures, one with MU wave 13 & a couple of wave 12 & one with a mix of MU waves 9 & 10 & CA:TFA wave 2

Just got Young Justice Artemis and Robin can't wait for these really enjoyed the series

Cool how are the bases with them?

Man has anyone seen Thor series 2 anywhere??

All the stores are still cluttered with series 1 overstock & online series 3 is already popping up!

I absolutely refuse to order cases. Getting tons of Thor variants I don't want just for 1 set of the Warriors Three & Destroyer doesn't sound too appealing.


Well at least I found a Cap Red Skull & Crossbones at Target. I also got an extra CB for a friend who found a Vintage card Wedge, who I'm sure will be impossible to find! He's shipping one per case in a restock wave that was reportedly shortordered.
Also noticed the new Terminator figures are out. The Tech Noir T-800 kicks ass!
