    I like the star on Norman's chest. The colors seem to mesh better on his suit, too.

    I'm surprised there's not a custom of movie Iron Man with Patriot colors floating around ... with the glowing-core thing covered, of course.

    But I haven't actually been looking.

    E: So I don't double post, found some Robot Heroes Transformers for 3.99 ea today. I really don't like most of them, and they didn't have Dispensor :cry:

    But I did grab the Optimus Primal pack and Rhinox pack, which also had Tarantulas and Waspinator (forgot who came with who). I'll try to get posts of my meager Transformers collection, but right now Tarantulas is holding Waspinator over head head, posed like he's going to throw him off the top of the my computer monitor (into a pit of venus flytraps, ironically enough), and Optimus is ridding piggy-back on Rhinox like a couple of kids. Glee.

    Theres one on ebay right now that ends tonight. It had a bid on it at like $5.00. I kept bidding and got it up to about $30, still was outbid. Maybe I'll see what it's at tonight. $18.00 shipping sucks ass though. But damn is that an awesome statue.

    so i just got back from a trip to california and i went marvel crazy with buying figures...

    here are some pics of my collection now. (remember i just started collecting figures so i must admit im now addicted.)

    my Marvel Universe collection has trippled in size:
    universe.jpg

    Mighty Muggs, Iron Men, and Wolverines...
    muggs.jpg

    and last but not least my Transformers Crossovers. I really dig the Captain America one. I thought i would like the venom one more then i would but his robot form isnt that sturdy, but car form is awesome.

    Thanks! I used to have a slapdash of all kinds of various lines of toys, and I had to buckle down to a couple of favorite lines. I decided to focus on the Universe/Legends lines of Marvel, and Sota/Resaurus from Street Fighter. I plan on starting up NECA, because their God of War line is awesome, and I like a lot of the games they make toys for.

    Uh, I don't. I used to break all my stuff out of the boxes and set em up all cool, but they'd get fucked up (or placed in various sexual poses, thanks to my friends), and I'd end up regretting it. The main reasons I don't take em out is because my walls are 1/4" of plaster on top of concrete, so I can't have shelves, and the lines I like are based on variance of figures and how the packaging looks. The Frank Cho art on the MU figures is way too awesome to throw away.

    He is holding his jacket, but he is the ugly ass marvel gold from the 90's. To my knowledge the universe, legends and gold are the only iron fist action figures in existence. Im not counting minimates and shit in that too.

    I wish Minimates didn't feel like they'd fall apart if you closed a door in another room. They have a lot of characters I like, but I can't bring myself to collect them, because they feel so cheaply made.

    He was trying to do everything Batman intended to do better; striking fear into criminals by looking scarier than Batman did by showing his face, using guns and actually killing, etc

    I think Two-Face Batman would have been a bit more okay if it had happened in Battle For The Cowl (which if I'm not mistaken, it didn't). For Harvey to show up now and be like "Hey heard you guys needed a batman I'm batman heyyyyyyy" is just weird.

    Yeah HT hasn't exactly nailed the Downey sculpt on any of their IM stuff. The one thing I DO like is the sculpted hair stuck to his forehead, like he's sweating.

    Everything else though is fucking phenomenal. I've NEVER seen plastic painted to look like metal done this well. It's incredibly realistic.
