I found a couple Manutes at Spencer's today, sadly, there was no one else. Guess they didn't have the room what with all the penis shaped remote controls. Haha.. that store is really f*ckin' weird. I went in there and they had rows upon of rows of boob and dick pasta. And of course everyone doesn't even want to be seen in that section. Oddly enough all the stores around me just have Hartigans and Marvs, Manute and Nancy are the ones never there. Well, I've never seen a single Nancy at 3 stores, maybe 2 or 3 Manutes tops.

Well, I'd expect plenty of Marv and Hartigan because they are the only figures packed 3 per case(2 b/w, one color)...
Every online store seems to be scalping nancy and gail, making them the two hardest to get...

Eh, give it a couple months, and once the refresher cases hit, and the scalpers start returning them, we'll pretty much be able to find whoever we want.

You will be... there is still no spencers in this ing city... I'm not even angry, because I got them at a reasonable price... but If I paid the 175+shipping I was originally gonna spend on a case, I'd be seething. 154.98(ship included) was very reasonable in my mind...

I just need Marv and Yellow Bastard really. I would have bought Hartigan as well but luckily, I won him in wojo's contest.
No doubt I will be buying Kevin, Dwight and Jackie Boy. Assuming the last two come out.

Note to self... 18" action figures are REALLY big... Its the same figure as its 6" brother... it loses the leg cut articulation, the rest of the articulation is there, it moves identically... the neck is ball jointed, the shoulders are ball jointed, the wrists rotate, the arms are cut at around the albows, and the waist moves. The necklace on the 18" version is real string and actually moves around, a nice touch. Marv says a handful of phrases from the movie, via a switch on his back that turns on a motion sensor... He says: "She smells like angels oughtta smell" "That there is one damn fine coat you're wearin'" "This is blood for blood by the gallons, this is the old days, the bad days, the good for nothin' days... they're back!" He just comes with the gun, and the gas can though, no hacksaw or hatchet.

Holy shiat. I didn't realise how big the 18" Marv is. That thing is ing huge. I still just want the little one. That's really the only fig I am wanting from the whole series.

That's a thing of beauty. Michael Crawford (You guys may know him as "Captain Toy") complained about the motion sensor being on the white tank top, it is pretty silly. He said it should've been right on the black belt, would've looked much better. But it is nice.
I too reeeeeeeally need the SDCC Marv, my most needed figure. You should take some pics of the whole Sin set-up, Bry-man.

I found an auction on eBay for B&W and Color variant Marv, so I bought it. Marv was the one I wanted the most, just because his character was so ing awesome, but I also really want to get Hartigan, Nancy, and Yellow Bastard.

There are some set up pictures just for Mal.... I'm not too happy with the setup now... but it will be fixed soon... I am getting more shelves. It looks fine that way. And if you're getting more shelves, you now have no excuse not to buy one Marvel Legend.

Not every ML is top-notch I'm sorry to say. Even I don't buy all of them, and I'm damn near obsessive about the little bastards.

Silver Surfer is probably the first ML I will buy... I marked for the surfer.

You're probably going to have to get him off Ebay. In my area atleast, Surfer hasn't popped up since the first of the year.
