They're really very small, Aaron. They take up hardly any space.

Don't try that on me, JB. There's plenty of room on the walls here. The money that doesn't go to the figurines could go to a commission.

Just got Sandman, Yellowjacket and The Wasp, Mr. Fantastic, and Luke Cage.  Love 'em all.  As I group these figurines into Spider-Man and his Rogues Gallery, Avengers, X-Men, Villains, the FF, and Loners, it looks really cool to have a complete Fantastic Four and a nearly complete Sinister Six behind Spider-Man (sans The Vulture and Electro).  It's also cool to have Power Man and Iron Fist leading the team of Loners (which also includes Ghost Rider, Nova, DD, Electra, and The Defenders).  

Like another poster, I started with The Thing.  Thought that would be the end of it. Now 54 total figurines and counting later, I guess I have to fess up that I'm an addict.  The Will of Landru indeed!

Big batch for me the last two weeks. Got Ultron from Midtown, won a green Hulk on Ebay (for a great price), and Punisher and Black Cat are on the way. Glad I held out for a version of classic Hulk--thought I was going to have to break down and buy the grey version at comic shop near me.

Yesterday I hit a LCS and found the new shipment in stock. I grabbed Reed Richards, and my girlfriend bought me Mysterio and Sandman as an early Valentine's Day present. The owner gave me a $2 discount on Sandman because the magazine was badly bent--I didn't bother telling him the 'zines weren't worth lining a cat box with.

Reading Matt's list makes me rally sad that they choose the stupid version of the Beast. Either one of the older ones would have been OK by anyone here, I think...

I know it's not the place, but would somebody tell me what happened to Mc Coy ? Is it a slow evolution and a side effect of the serum he took a while back ?

Iron Man having different armors, I can understand (to go in space, to fight the Hulk, ...) but the evolution of the Beast ?

I saw a picture of Carnage today, hmm.... I will pass !

I've only got 3 (Spidey, Thing, Hulk) but have been tempted by others.  I was disappointed with Cap.  I have to say that the Sinister 6 are the cream of the crop.  They are lovely things and I can't wait for DC versions.  I hope they do them by era, and not just mix and match versions.  I'd love to have the early JLA/Teen Titans, etc....
