Super-hero action figures, comics

[ASM-completist]

What is the rare action figure/comic to get these days at a Wal-Mart? I see hundreds of them but am not up to speed on the figure variants/commics. Is there something specific anyone needs? What is the grail action figure today?

Speaking of figures after a long week I stopped by the local mart and picked this up...

 

 

An ultra big highly detailed IronMan fig from the Marvel Legends Icons collection.

 

 

 

This is totally cool. I've been looking for a nice fig to put up on the shelf that was

worthy of the giant sized hulk I have up there.

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think I'll ever forget one of my fav comic battles...

Well, not an "action figure" but I just received my first "Sideshow Collectibles" piece...

 

the Green Goblin...and all I can say is F@#King amazing, nothing like this stuff out there.

 

Makes Bowen statues look like toys, phenominal

Yes, Sideshow is amazing. I almost bought the Goblin myself, but I already had $1,000s tied up in other figures and not ready to send my wife over the edge yet

 

They have a new Hulk figure that's 20 inches tall out right now.

It's all in the details...

Absolutely dead on, it IS all in the details...and SIZE

Out of curiousity, what is a point of articulation. I hear the term but don't know what it means....

It is how many joints on the particular figure are movable...

 

so that you can obtain different poses.

I ordered several of the Sideshow LOTR figures. Only one I kept was the Gandalf wall plaque.They are real nice,but didn't think they were worth the price. Had no trouble moving them, though.

Just bought the pre-order "Spider-Man" from Sideshow.

 

Look pretty nice. Seems to be designed as a companion piece with Gobby so I thought "must have"

even though those "bug eyes" really bother me, would have prefered the classsic "Romita" eyes.

 

My early thoughts on Sideshow are this...

 

"Most" of their stuff is stunning, but certainly not everything (as you point out) some of the stuff just looks? I don't know, lazy? However, again, compared to Bowen, night and day.

Have you seen the Marvel Dr Doom statue with him on his throne? That is a heavy piece. Had to re-enforce a shelf before displaying that one.
