Spiderman Ultimate Custom

Found  custom Miles Ultimate Spiderman action figure, the new Spiderman.

This custom by Raybot customs looks awesome. The headsculpt looks great!

Here is a pic with the Spidey head. I'm really hoping Marvel comes out with this one. I'd hate to have to pay for a custom.

Superman action figures

Here is a pic of my Superman collection. I am missing the iconic classic six inch Superman. It seems my Ex friend has it at the office without my permission. I think that is called stealing. Anyway, the small 10 inch Superman is based on Brandon Routh and Superman Returns. The 13 inch Superman is also. The last one in the back is from DC direct and is 12 inches. He's based on the classic Superman comic. I would die for the Hot Toys Christopher Reid. But like I said before, I'm a action figure collector on a budget.

Hopefully, they will come out with a Superman based on the new movie that is coming out in 2013.

NEW SUPERMAN

With all the new superhero movies in the works, I am expecting we will get quite a few movie based figures. The new Superman movie isn't for release until 2013 but, here is a peek at Henry Cavill in the new suit.

I imagine we will get some version of the new Superman in an action figure. I am looking forward to seeing how they handle it.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

With the Avengers movie now in production, I couldn't resist. Wish I could find a 12 inch Black Widow and Hawkeye to go along with my 12 inch Icons.

WAY OVER PRICED ACTION FIGURES!

Okay, quick post here. I saw this action figure for $150 at a online toy store. I paid ten bucks ($10) for this figure. I found it at Kmart. It's a roto figure made with light hollow plastic. It's a nice figure for my Spiderman collection and I really like it but $150 when the original price was $10 bucks?

In this picture I have Symbiote Spiderman standing behind unmasked Marvel Icon Spiderman. Which by the way is way better quality than the roto House Of M Spiderman. And I only paid $36 for it. The Icons usually run $15 but, Spidey was difficult to find.

Don't get me wrong, I love my roto Spiderman figures, I just don't want people getting ripped off by sellers trying to take advantage. Ten or fifteen dollars is cool but, $150? I don't think so.

P.S. The House of M Spiderman was taken from an action figure website, not the seller.

ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDERMAN COSTUME

All I can say is...I'm praying for an action figure based on this costume. Please, please, please Marvel!!!

IRONMAN

I've been really lucky lately, with action figure hunting that is. My local Walmart is carrying the new Ironman II movie action figures and I was able to pick up Ironman Mark V! This figure has been out for a while. That's why I'm lucky. I also saw the Mark VI but, I haven't grabbed that one yet. Surprisingly today, I was at my local Walmart and they had restocked with about 8-10 new Mark V's.

The figure comes with the case that you see in the picture and three pairs of hands! I'm like Moggie215 on Youtube. You gotta love the hands. You can get so many poses with extra hands. Please continue with the hands Hasbro if you not going to give us articulated fingers. Also picked up War Machine three weeks ago from Ironman II movie figures.

Here's a pic of the Mark V, War Machine and Marvel Legends Series 9 build a figure Galactus series.

War Machine came with extra hands too! Yay, Hasbro!

Here is a better look at War Machine.

My ratings on the figures:

Ironman

Love the look of this figure. He looks like a miniture version of the suit Tony Stark wore in Iron II. Love the extra hands and movie authentic briefcase accessory.
Love the paint color and application. (Not a lot of color bleeding)
Love the repuslor color application. Makes it seem like it's glowing and getting ready to fire.
Love the slim/skinny apperance of the figure itself.

Hate that the pegs of the hands come out easy and hang out of the arms without fully inserting.
Hate that the beautiful paint job is starting to chip and scracth off already with very little malnipulation.
Hate the lack of articulation of the feet. That really sucks!
Hate the that the legs are difficult to reposition and pose.
Hate the non-waist articulation

Overall rating: 2.5 out of a possible 6

War Machine
Love the sculpt
Love the pain applications
Love the extra hands
Love the movie accuracy
Love the mobility of War Machine's rotating shoulder machine gun (Can be positioned on either side and also tilts.)

Only one complaint. Articulation is decreased due to his heavy armor. Hasbro may not be able to fix this due to the heavy duty armor that is War Machine. Would be nice if they could. Oh, maybe one more complaint. War Machine should be 12 inches because he is so bad ass.

Overall rating: 4.5 out of a possible 6
