I'd love some 1:6 Marvel characters (especially in cloth costumes) but I don't like Marvel enough to shell out for Medicoms.

 

If only Sideshow could have the license themselves!

 

BTW, that Medi Magneto looks really good!

[GPM in ICT]

The Marvel Studios Blade and Punisher that were put out several years ago are good enough for me.

I missed out on the old 12 inch Blade. This one will have to be mine, unless they make an Icon figure of him.

[mumsler]

I like that Magneto.

No no no no, they would suck, sideshow is not even comparible to medicom or hot toys, im glad medicom has is making marvels and not sideshow

[evenflow]

I just got back from the show and they all look amazing. I also saw the Spider-man 3 ones and they look much much better in person. I may actually pick up the Venom.

Yes yes yes yes! Sorry, but I'm not paying $100+ for each Marvel figure that Medicom churns out. I'd like Sideshow to do it (although I think a new body or two would be required) because they make quality figures in the $50 range.

 

Medicoms are nice, but then they should be at DOUBLE the price.

Well most medicom marvel figures are $99 each, so theres a good chance that magneto, punisher, venom as the punisher and whatever else they got will be $99.

Ok....your point being that they are a dollar or two less than what I said?

When I saw the post saying that RAH is making Magneto, I was hoping that it's the movie version

oh well, still look nice.

[RandomHero]

What could possibly make these figures worth $100?

[Darren]

Well atop of licensing fees that I'm sure they toss into the figures and such you also have all the design costs. plus the fact that the Medicon 1/6 scale body is one of the most well-developed 1/6 scale bodies out there.There's a lot of costs not in producing the headsculpts,handsculpts and the costume but also the inner body as well.Plus the plastic costs and such,this is high-quality...not cheapy stuff that Hasbro uses for their $15-$20 1/6 figures.

Wow, I forgot how cool the Punisher as Venom character looked, definatly something that could only come out of the 90's "anti-hero" that phase comics were in. I'd love to see him show up in mainstream Marvel, or maybe a limited series where the Venom symbiote goes around attaching itself to other Marvel heros looking for a better host after it dumps Gargan. Think about it, Venom-Daredevil, Venom-Wolverine (although thats already been done I think), Venom-Cap, would be pretty cool.

[Jase]

The fact that they are imports does have something to do with their price tag. I'm not saying that they aren't worth $100 each....they just aren't to me. Now if they were DC characters, I'd probably buy them. I still think some of them look pretty cool though!

Well I guess its that I mainly collect sideshow, medicom and hot toys now. So $100 for a figure is average to me.......
