best versions of characters

[TomTom]

a poll about the best versions of characters from the marvel universe to help me with a theory. the only rule is it must be in a six ich scale, since that is the primary scale for Marvel figures. please include both the character and the figure title (and wave number, if neccessary) for clarity.

 

examples:

 

spider-man-sinister six box set spidey

 

iron man-ML1 iron man (btw, i chose older figures to help un generalize it)

 

multiple choice example:

 

captain america-face off/ ML1 cap.

[TomE]

Do figs with one version count? Guess not...so

 

Captain America - Face-Off

 

Spiderman - McFarlane

 

Wolverine - ML Brown

 

Silver Surfer - FF Ronan Wave

 

Human Torch - FF Movie 1, not sure what wave but the clear one with the fire base

 

Cyclops - HML 3

 

Punisher - Face-Off

 

Daredevil - SMC Series 6

 

Dr. Doom - FF Ronan Series

 

Namor - green trunks (I've warmed up to it a bit)

 

Hulk - Face Off

 

Beast - ML 4

 

Iron Man - FA

 

Thor - Lord Thor

 

Colossus - ML 5

 

And those are my favorites

[TomTom]

no, chracters with one figure dont count. thatd be a bit pointless.

[gambit329]

ok...

 

Wolverine - the astonishing version (from the BAF Apocalypse line)

 

Iron Man - the modern version( i dont eeven OWN this one, but he looks the coolest)

 

Mr. Fantastic - the newest FF Ronan wave one. I know, the fact that he's like 10 feet tall doesn't make him easy to display, but he looks cool and actually has a good face.

 

Invisible Woman - the FF Ronan line one. She just looks great. Even if it is an odd costume choice (i feel like she only wore that costume for like, 5 issues)

 

Human Torch - the variant boxed set one of him half flamed on.

 

Cyclops - the Hasbro ML one. Really cool figure.

 

Captain America - ML wave 1

 

Jean Grey - Phoenix verison (but, who wouldn't choose that one?)

[TomTom]

i didnt go to the database, since this is based on opinions.

Photo references? Make the decision making process easier...

I agree with your vote save for the Captain America and Human Torch.

 

 

Captain America - Face Off

 

Human Torch - FF movie Series 1 (best sculpt and mutiple articulation and lights up)

 

Hulk - Hands down the Face Off version

 

Iron Man - Silver Centurion, Modern Armor looks anorexic next to Warbird

 

Wolverine - Face Off and Brown Wolverine (Series 6) (Tie)

[annihilator]

Add:

 

Colossus - XMC Classics - face sculpt is Uncanny!!!

 

Thor - Giant Man Series true to scale, Lord Thor (Marvel Select sized!! large as a Ulik)

 

Spider-Man - McFarlane Spidey of course and FA version (Series 10)

[SheriffofCoffeeTown]

Trying to make a decision about the Hulk just made my brain explode a little. He's already, like, seven characters unto himself...

For general reference: Figure Index

 

As for my picks, as for which ones I display for each character: Display Key

[Mr. Yac]

Juggernaut - Blob Series

 

agree with a lot of your list....but this one confuses the hell out of me, not only is ML6 juggy just a damn near perfect figure, but the movie version was so disgustingly craptacular that to compare the 2......

[ToyWorldBreaker]

Juggernaut - Blob Series

 

agree with a lot of your list....but this one confuses the hell out of me, not only is ML6 juggy just a damn near perfect figure, but the movie version was so disgustingly craptacular that to compare the 2......

 

 

LOL!!!Hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaaahahahaha! "Craptacular!" Halarious! @loll@

 

ML Series #3 Ghost Rider

 

Hulk from the Hulk Classics line that came with the free Banner(can't remember if it was ser.1 or ser.2 brain fart)

 

ML Series 6 Juggernaut

 

Brownie Wolverine

 

Those are a few of my favorite "MARVEL" figures.

[ARES-god_of_war]

Juggernaut - Blob Series

"Don't forget the De La, to do originality... And if I ever went solo my favorite MC would be me!"

[pvbvillegas]

HULK: HML1 planet hulk

THOR: HML2 lord thor

IRON MAN: hulk-buster iron man

FANTASTIC FOUR: HML FF wave fantastic four

SILVER SURFER: HML FF wave silver surfer

WOLVERINE: astonishing x-men wolverine

HANK PYM: giant man baf (but that's a baf), so HML2 gold yellowjacket will also do

[BigBearJahlon]

Wow,nice thread .... now I got to think of my faves ...

 

Just bought the HML FF Silver Surfer, and while I prefer almost everything else about the ML-5 version from Toy Biz, the face Sculpt makes the Hasbro version a winner

 

SMC Sandman (although I plan to add the Unleashed 360 version along with him)

 

ML-8 Ice-Man

 

ML-8 Storm

 

ML - 10 Cyclops (poseability is the key here)

 

Giant-Man Thor

 

while the MS She-Hulk looks better, the HML version is a poseable winner

 

Face-Off Captain America

 

Face-Off Daredevil

 

Face-Off Mandarin Variant

 

ML-4 Punisher

 

Red Cosutmed ML-4 Elektra (but dang, we need a new version)

 

FFC Thing series 1

 

Smart Hulk from Series 1 of Hulk Classics

 

ML-8 Modern Iron-Man

 

ML-9 Nightcrawler

 

ML-6 Brown Wolverine/ XMC Stealth Wolverine (a toss-up)

 

ML-13 Abomination

 

ML-13 Green Goblin

 

ML-15 Mar-Vell version of Captian Marvel

 

ML-6 Cable

 

FF 1st Movie version of the light-up Human Torch

 

Spider-Man 2 movie Aerial Spider-Man/ SMC Photo-Snapping Spidey (another toss-up but this Spidey got muscles)

 

The look of the XMC Colossus is spectacular, but the ML-5 face sculpt is fantastic.

 

ML-3 Ghost Rider

 

ML-6 Juggernaut (enough said!!!!)

[Robogeek28]

Indeed, so hard to choose. @loll@

 

As for the others, well I don't have enough to compare since I mainly collect Hulk, but out of what I DO have,

 

Thing-FF Classics wave 1 Toybiz

 

Wolverine-Apocalapse wave

 

She-Hulk- ML2

 

Leader-FA normal version

 

Abomination-Onslaught wave

 

And now Hulk, hmmmmm.......I just can't decide.

[SheriffofCoffeeTown]

And now Hulk, hmmmmm.......I just can't decide.

 

Ha. Any Hulk is the best version of that aspect of Banner's psyche.

 

Because if they don't all have their own individual names and traits at the moment, they will eventually.

[TomTom]

okay, i got everything i need for the thing i was testing. it was to see whether or not newer figures are better, despite articulation and paint issues.

Heh, true.
