Title: Marvel legends series 4 at Giant Tiger stores
Post by: morgardee on April 18, 2006, 06:49:14 PM
Looks like they just unpacked them but my local Giant Tiger has wave 4 of Marvel legends for $5.97. I was trying to avoid buying another toy line but for that price I picked up one of each. They had a lot of the Punisher but only 2 best figures, is that how they ship?

They also had tons of movie Dare Devil figures for $5.97 but I passed on him. Bought an extra Punisher figure to customize with. I'm thinking maybe Saw Viper....

Do you think that they'll go to 50% off? If that's the case I could see picking a few up for customizing too. (where I'll find the time for this I have no idea...)

They might. After I posted I opened my figures and besides the Punisher figure I'm not that impressed. Electra has the dumbest looking neck I've ever seen, Beast just feels so bulky and hard to move but at least his jaw moves and Gambit is to thin. The only good custom fodder is Punisher but the lower part of the skull on his chest is very bulky. My dremel is going to be working overtime on him.

I was just thinking that beast would make a great "mega-monster" with the right paint and effort.

There is a guy that does these up as 6" Joe customs professionally (charges about a  $100 each) and he does almost everything based on the Punisher and Daredevil figures for base.

2.  If you're using Daredevil, you do NOT want the one from this set. You want the one from Spiderman Classics..... ML4 DD blows.

Cool. Thanks. I started on my SAW Viper yesterday. Sort of glad to see he hasn't done one yet as it's nice to be different. I did notice my Viper and his look a lot alike. Not to say I copied his work. That guy has mad skills.  :thumbsup:
