Dark Raider and the Ride Shooter are PERFECTLY scaled for figuarts and very nicely made. I'm not sure that an SHF version of these bikes would even be better. The Avengers United We Stand figures are a guilty pleasure. As absolutley awful as that show was I loved it as a kid. Ant/Giant Man has always been my favorite Avenger, so seeing him take the lead in an animated series was just brilliant. These things made their way into my work and I just had to have them!

What Avengers toys are those? Never heard of United We Stand. Who elese do they have?

Avengers United They Stand was a late 90's cartoon that chose to have Ant-Man lead rather than the big 3 of Cap, Iron Man, or Thor.

The entire series is up on Marvel.com, if you wanted to check it out.

Yup. There were some legal disputes in the 90's because of Stan Lee's splinter company SLM that at the time meant Marvel couldn't use the bigger name characters. So Cap, Thor, and Iron Man were more of cameo characters and Hank, Jan, Tygra, Wonder Man/Vision, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, and Hawkeye made up the team. Radically different designs for most of the costumes too, they had a very henshin hero style of putting them on.

They only made Ant-Man, Wasp, Tygra, Wonder Man, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Kang, Hawkeye, Ultron, and Captain America. Other than some vehicles and 4 transforming figures that's it. The show did not do very well

[Matrixbeast]

Yeah. I was not a fan of that show in the slightest. I was always a fan of slim costumes on superheroes, not giant suits of armor.
It only lasted 13 episodes, but I don't know what everyone else disliked concerning the series. The radical costume change was what killed my interest.

Never heard of the show, but if it came out in 99 that could explain why.

It's an old cheesy terrible show. But like I said, Hank Pym has always been my favorite Avenger so even past all the flaws I loved it as a kid. Especially the way the costumes were done. So when someone randomly sold us a bunch of marvel toys this week and I had to cherry pick these 2.

Hank is awesome *highfive*

One of the reasons I want an Ant-man movie is so I can finally get a toy version of him.

[Matrixbeast]

I was never a big Ant-Man fan. Just found him pretty meh.
I'm gonna see the Ant-Man movie, no doubt, but he's never been one of the characters I really cared for or learned much about.

I especially like the redemption of his character done in Mighty Avengers. Shame they kind of ignored the whole "scientist supreme" thing, even if it was a little cheese unto itself.

Parents brought my some fun stuff back from holidays...



They also got me this...



This is a very mixed blessing. Huntress is one of my favourite DC characters so everything about this is win, but statues/busts have been something I've actively avoided buying since I knew that if I had one, I'd inevitably want more. This has happened.
