Good move not getting it. Ya know what? As luck would have it, the next review I'll be posting up here will be Fireblast Destroyer! Based on my figure and the pics/vids I've seen on Inferno D, I think Fireblast looks better--it's got its entire body painted. Inferno's molded black with the eyes just painted, so if that's your thing,go for it! :)SirDragonBanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061860978530022895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-4664726927449089692012-05-14T17:57:35.252+08:002012-05-14T17:57:35.252+08:00Thanks again, I just got back from the different t...Thanks again, I just got back from the different toy stores I've visited. I bought IM Ultimate Armor and Heimdall. I was supposed to get Mark V too as planned but I only saw one remaining stock and the paint was very bad, so I decided to pass. I am thinking of getting a Destroyer... Good Idea? If yes, which one: the Fire Blast or Inferno?

Volstagg yes, he would need Fandral and Hogun (no Sif in the line :( ), both of which are hard to find. Heimdall may have less articulation but is also pretty rare.<br /><br />As for the Iron Man stuff, Mark V is so-so looking, while Ultimate Armor is a repaint of the Mk III I think. It is the rarer of the two though. :)SirDragonBanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061860978530022895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-13958324997240559242012-05-13T19:06:51.432+08:002012-05-13T19:06:51.432+08:00Hello again!

But I'm having second thoughts on Volstagg because if I'm getting him, I want to have Sif and the other warriors too which are unavailable. Even though you discouraged me from getting Heimdall, I'm still considering him because Odin ran out of stock. I'm also thinking about getting MU Guardian but it's more expensive. But I'll get him if you think it's better than the ones I mentioned above. What do you think? :))kimoz17https://www.blogger.com/profile/08932085512498781996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-61760492818358737912012-05-10T02:16:30.712+08:002012-05-10T02:16:30.712+08:00You're welcome!

Iro...Not at all! I'm just glad I can help. :-)<br /><br />Iron Man 2 figures are always well worth getting and though they seem the same, the Mk VI and Advanced Armours are quite different sculpt-wise. I'm a big fan of the movie design so I say get the Mk VI! ;-)<br /><br />As for other recommendations from IM2, Ultimate Iron Man is outstanding and many like the Hulkbuster IM. Iron Monger is great too, both comic and movie series figs. Oh yes, any of the War Machines will also be great to get.<br /><br />Thor-wise, the Warriors Three (Fandral, Volstagg n Hogun) will line up nicely with Thor and Odin. All the best for the hunt! :-)SirDragonBanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061860978530022895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-78237169694226171752012-05-03T15:30:12.925+08:002012-05-03T15:30:12.925+08:00I live in Pampanga, Philippines.

Ok. :D Thanks! <br /><br />Sorry if I'm annoying you with my questions, but I need help from an expert. I'll go to the toy store I've visited yesterday again tomorrow. They don't have Silver Centurion anymore. :(( So I looked at the IM figures. I bought IM Fusion Armor (Just a repaint of Mark III). I really want to get Mark VI (without the press the head thing), but I already have Advanced Armor comic series, and they kind of looked like the same. Should I get Mark VI still? Or are they any other Thor/IM figures you can recommend. Thanks :))kimoz17https://www.blogger.com/profile/08932085512498781996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-13872128585076798752012-05-03T01:09:32.964+08:002012-05-03T01:09:32.964+08:00Oh and whereabouts do you live?

Heimdall lacks lots of PoAs.<br /><br />If you've got the Thor line Loki available, I'd say get him! He's pretty hard to come by and has all the articulation that the Loki of the Avengers line doesn't have. Odin is good, but the one they released in later waves (wave 3?) has better colours ad paint.<br /><br />So I guess you should get 'em all except Heimdall!!! ;PSirDragonBanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061860978530022895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874789746848317241.post-21904578992137348602012-05-02T14:49:15.876+08:002012-05-02T14:49:15.876+08:00I really need your advice. :))
