Marvel Select Ultron On Sale for $16 at Amazon

Marvel Select UltronIt wasn’t until Ninjak picked the Marvel Select Ultron as his Best of 2012 that I decided to get one for myself. I was still a little reluctant, as Marvel Select prices have crept up over the past few years and are now regularly around $25 where I live. They haven’t been much cheaper online – so I’ve been watching eBay.

One of the auctions I had on my watch list was ending tonight, and for a pretty decent price. It eventually closed at $12 and change – but with shipping came in at over $20. I didn’t bid, however. In the last minutes before the auction closed, I did a quick check on Amazon, and found it for $16 from an Amazon vendor with Prime.

Best deal I’ve seen on the MS Ultron yet! There’s only a few left from the vendor at this price, but even if you miss it, Amazon is keeping pace and selling it for just a quarter more, at $16.25.

Happy shopping!

Marvel Select Barbarian Hulk and Storm Press Pics

Diamond Select Toys is tempting me with their pics of the upcoming Barbarian Hulk and Storm figures.

I’m not sure where Barbarian Hulk is from in the comics, but the combination of those two words could produce some pretty kick ass stories. I’ve resigned myself that DST will be forever hamstrung by the articulation limits, so I don’t count that against this Hulk – but I do think his head might have turned out a bit too small in production.
