good news. bad news. awaiting CollectIcon

Hello again guys, i tried changing the look of my page but it didn't quite work out..anyway, i'm here again with an update on my toy collecting life and some thoughts on Deadpool..i'll open it up with a good news, i just read Deadpool #15 and i have to say i'm really feeling the start of "want you to want me" wherein he decides to join the x-men. And that means he'll be going to..you probably guessed it, X-Force. I really hope he gets team unis. we already had a preview of this one in the Messiah War and i think it worked pretty damn good. I'll also get my Wolverine Essentials and my 6" Wolverine Strike Team and AoA regular Wolverine tomorrow. The guy i'm supposed to meet can't do it on saturday since his relative died (my condolences goes out to his family..) so he'll also give me money since he's asking me to get the stuff he bought from the group buy. Bad news, guy who's selling the Abomination won't go lower than P300, it might not be much but i set my heart to P250 so letting go of the extra P50 is hard. haha. What makes it worse is that i saw a loose Abomination somewhere being sold for P180 which i'm pretty sure i could've had for P150, yeah it's probably an overrun..but still. P300? And oh yeah, i posted the wrong picture last time..he's actually selling the Gamma Charge Abomination, not the one with the pipe. i asked the guy from http://comicology.i.ph (go and check the site, it's good) which figures go well with the 3.75"line and he said the Abomination, Iron Monger, and 5 inch Hulks. So when i went to check the Iron Mongers, the cheapest one i could find was also worth P300 but he's from Cebu. He does free shipping BUT he only has one feedback, which is suspect. P300 is a lot for me and i don't know if i can risk it. When it comes to Hulk, i don't want to use the grey or green one cause that's a good guy. And those Planet Hulks go mostly for P500+. I did see a custom 6" inch Red Hulk though, it was also worth P300 but in my mind it was worth it, it looked good. Though it did look weird cause his nails were painted grey. The problem? it was already reserved! Ugh, all i can do is place second dibs on it..i mean, just look at the picture! i wanted to do something like that! haha. What also makes it worse is that i kept on seing that post before but i didn't really show interest cause i didn't plan on doing this one before. I really really hope i can get the custom Red Hulk., i can just paint over the nails anyway. Another thing i'm really hoping for is that the size of MU Warpath would be right. I really wouldn't want him being the same height as Wolverine. I mean, they list him at 7'2" tall. I see Wolverine as 5'9" standing straight up (they should just change the 5'3" thing). That's a big difference. Maybe make him as tall as the MU Hulks (are they tall? hope they are) I don't know why i'm so excited to get a monster though, i wouldn't be able to get Warpath soon anyway, he isn't even released yet. Maybe it's so that my 3.75" Wolverine won't be lonely, being stuck with mostly 6" Wolverines. But anyway, I promised my girlfriend (yes, i have one..i'm a good looking guy, haha) that i'll just wait for the CollectIcon if i don't get the monster fig for the price i want before i go and buy anymore figs..there just might be a bargain there somewhere. Hope there is. If things go according to plan then that'll be my first toy fair thing ever. haha.

The hit list.

okay, fine..right now i'm going to make a list of every figure i'm going to get in the near future..i can't just keep changing my mind like this, haha. I still haven't changed my mind about the ML Wolverines. I'm still planning to get them and hopefully i get them soon. After the ML Wolverines, i'm going to focus on the diorama. I found a way too spend less while making a possibly bad ass diorama. I won't use soldiers in my diorama anymore..they're just going to make me spend more even if i use the G.I. Joes, that's still going to hurt my pocket..see, Wolverine against three soldiers isn't fair..it should be like 8+, and that might make me spend upwards of P1000. Plus, i'm already anticipating the arrival of Warpath. So that means more soldiers for him too..so no, i'll end up having no money at all if i continue doing that, so now what i'm planning to do now is to use those 6" monster toys like Abomination to fight my 3.75" X-Force in the making. I'll save a lot more money using this one! i might even be able to get it at P250($5) for a MOC! See! i can think straight when needed!:D That saves me a whole hell of a lot of money since it would still look cool even when an entire team is trying to take it down..hell, it looks more like a team that way. So there, that's already 2 figures in my very near future. Warpath and Abomination. Hopefully there's at least one new X-Force member in every other wave of MU figures. I hope they come out with an X-Force Deadpool. Speaking of which, i'm still not sure if i want to some figures from the XMO line. I have no plans of completing it. I don't really like the figures too, i just like the Gambit and the Deadpool but they'd look out of place. And i read somewhere once that when in doubt..don't buy. haha. so there, i cancelled my dibs on the XMO figures and the Hand Ninjas (another one of my bright diorama ideas). So there, i guess doing that saves me 3 weeks worth of savings! haha. And when i go to CollectIcon next next week..all i'm going to focus on are Wolverine figures! haha. Oh, one last problem..I don't know if i'll get the Wolverine Strike Team from the MU line, but i probably will..as a continuation of my collection. But aghh! I am so excited to get the MU Warpath! i know the Ml will probably be way better but me getting the MU one is much more realistic! i cant wait to put these two together! oh yeah, i'm going to free him too! they're going to be the first ones to go up against Abomination! yeah! hahaha. And then Archangel is going to be a part of the Fan's choice wave! haha. I might complete all the Wolverines from the MU line, but i have to see if there is still a two-pack with human torch available..

So, my hitlist as of now:
- ML 25th anniversary Silver Wolverine *pending GB
- ML Black Wolverine
- ML FO First Appearance Wolverine
- XMC Ninja Strike Wolverine *pending trade
- Hulk movie Abomination
- MU Secret wars two pack Wolverine/Human Torch
- MU Warpath
- MU Strike Team Wolverine
- MU Archangel
