I'm going to have to do something special to display him.  Raise him up on a special base/pedestal, I don't know.  He's just perfect.

It's amazing how they get some of the characters SO RIGHT and others not so right.  This one looks SO RIGHT!

Doc Samson, Taskmaster and the Kingpin arrived today!

TM is excellent...Kingpin..dunno, he's he's imposing and all, but his face looks too young.  Samson is good too.

The Annihilus figure is awesome. However, I would like to see a wider base so he stands facing the viewer directly--rather than at an angle.  Either way, I will buy him as soon as I can--most likely an order from a seller in the UK.

Two days ago I did the worst mistake of my life: I bought in a newsstand (Kiosk) The Spider-Man figurine, he looked a little alone and sad in the shelf ;-), so I went to the web page and I saw that there are "millions" of cool figurines, I started to order a couple of figurines (...ok more than 10) and I can't do it because they don't send copies outside the UK... grrrrrr!

My question is simple, where can I buy the figurines?

(surely you said it 100 times in this thread but there are 123 pages!) ¬¬

They just hit Spain this last week, so you are getting in on the ground floor.  I wouldn't buy directly from Eaglemoss anyway, the horror stories are pretty bad.  I'd start with eBay or maybe an online seller in the UK or France.  Beyond that, www.midtowncomics.com in New York would be another option. 

I have not had good luck with Forbidden Planet in England, they take about a month to ship out of the country.

Thanks Ryan!, The Plan B is to wait every week in the newsstand, the next week they will sell Wolverine and Octopus together with the same price, but I want the cool figurines (the ones that I like it) and I don't want to wait 2 years.

I will try with midtowncomics.

(I'm checking the EM web page and... No Balder, no Magik, no Warlock yet??)

None of those 3 have been confirmed to be produced.  Steve Reaper is a member here and runs a great website dedicated to the figures that you should consider checking out.  Besides discussion on the Marvel and DC lines, you'll also find a ton of custom figures and complete checklists of existing and upcoming figures.

I also check EM's blog for the Marvel line (there isn't one for DC).

Not Balder or Magik, but Warlock has already been produced:


I've got him in my collection.
