Note to Hasbro: You don't have to listen to all requests. That said, if you can see your way to Spymaster, can you hook a brutha up with a Blue Marvel??? Wendell Vaughn??? Sebastian Shaw???

You are so right about this FF wave and, for me, there hasn't been a stronger wave in quite some time. I will secretly be laughing at all the people that poo'poo'ed this wave once they have second thoughts after passing it up. I'll be giggling at my keyboard as they vocalize their frustrations at the astronomical secondary costs of collecting a wave they didn't realize they needed until the reviewers they idolize start extolling of its virtues.

Um...like, I'm nowhere near 60 and I'm pretty excited about the Spymaster reveal, actually, because he's a fun, classic character. One of the things I love about Hasbro is their willingness to release fairly obscure characters here and there. I guess you guys would just prefer it if Hasbro released Iron Man over and over and over.
Makes fun of Hasbro for taking requests for obscure characters, and immediately then turns around and make requests for obscure characters. Gotcha. Sounds like someone's been bullied...don't worry, the bad men can't hurt you through your computer screen if you just shut your eyes. Seriously, you know nothing about me, my tastes in characters, nor my sense of humor. Thanks for playing and enjoy your Spymaster! |

Only time I EVER tolerated the Fantastic Four was the first movie, coz I’ve always had a thing for Jessica Alba and Chickis was a quirky Thing. Other than that, I’ve found Fantastic Four the least enticing super group. This wave is an easy pass for me. The Walgreens set looked good enough if I wanted them.
But bully for you, maybe you'll enjoy Spymaster! lol Last edited by TheBlueMarvel; 10-27-2019 at 11:02 AM.. |

The fact that they made Demogoblin a BAF instead of a single-carded release pisses me off; I'm glad that we're finally getting a new one (as my Spider-Man Origins version is long gone due to breakage), but there aren't many people who are clamoring for him. They're losing money this way IMO

Are those Star Wars Bobbers just chip clips with figures glued on? 'Cuz they sure look like it!

Nice to finally see the mythical Super Skrull.
Also Spymaster is a fine figure. I look forward to picking him up someday at my local Five Below. |

Seriously, what's with everyone throwing shade at Spymaster? Never heard this much crap about Tiger Shark or Grim Reaper, and they weren't the catalyst of a classic comic event like Armor Wars (that I'm aware of)...

And even if you don't know who he is, one look at that pussy-magnet outfit of his should convince you he's bad-ass. Some folks have no taste, I guess. |

But really, "so much history!" and yet such an important villain has just been relegated to the throw away figure spot in the Black Widow wave... In all seriousness, he probably deserves at least one figure for Iron Man fans, but cool outfit or not he's just not exciting. |

Tiger Shark's entire wave was crapped on. But that was quite some time ago, too, and I suppose it's just worse now because with there being so many Legends getting made, the lesser ones stand out more. (People also are starting to get really tired of filler "Collector wanted" figs that you have to buy to get a much more desired figure's arm or leg.)
Seriously, just wait for ebay to get flooded with the random BAF part you need. At that point the prices tank and you can get most parts for next to nothing, especially for the less-desirable BAFs (like Molten Man). It just takes a little patience. Quote:
Rock Python barely gets a pass because people are used to Hasbro ticking away at the Serpent Society by now, so it's expected to find a member filling up an Avengers wave that you either suck it up and buy or just buy your missing BAF piece on eBay. Spymaster is something new to dislike.

Besides, I'm sure you have some scrub character that you've been wanted a figure of for ages that everyone else hates. Maybe Hasbro will come through for you one day like they came through now for the Spymaster fanboys (all ten of them). Last edited by Dolemite; 10-28-2019 at 02:26 PM.. |

That's too bad. The FF and their story function as an excellent gateway to cosmic Marvel. You are missing out on quite a lot of exceptional reading and storytelling by basing your opinion on a poorly conceived movie cash-in. But then again, you seem to have liked the movie...maybe you'll change your mind about the book some day.
But bully for you, maybe you'll enjoy Spymaster! lol I haven't read a comic book since 2001, so I'm done with that chapter of my life. Not a brag or anything, I just tried to read a comic book one day in 2001 and couldn't make it through. Now, I see graphic novel collections at stores, I'll flip through them for a glimpse of the art, or read IGN reviews, but otherwise I've been out of the loop other than the various comic book films. I'll give FF another try when they show up in the MCU.

I love it when people thing they're offering the ultimate in snark when they add "lol" to the end of their sentence.

My dad was a huge FF fan. Personally, I found them boring. As plot devices they are ok (Spidey recruiting Torch for subduing Venom or Reed creating a device for teleporting heroes to Destination X to fight whatever crossover threat of the month is terrorizing the multiverse), but I tried to read their book in the 80's and 90's and couldn't. Too soap opera-ish for me (which crept into all the other Marvel books in the 90's and killed my enjoyment of the books). The movie was the first time I actually like them. Sadly, Doom was a joke and the 2nd & reboot movie were worse.

But I'm sure the upcoming MCU reboot will be much better, and at the very least will be the first time they get Dr. Doom right in any movie. When the Roger Corman version remains the closest to the comics, you know you've got trouble. |

I'll give FF another try when they show up in the MCU. If the film medium changes your opinion, then revisit the books if you're so inclined. Should that happen, check out the luminaries: Kirby, DeFalco/Perez, Byrne, etc. The FF, for me, is about family, super-science, and some of the most enigmatic villains to ever grace Marvel's pantheon. Some pretty stellar heroes have also sprung from the pages: Panther, Surfer, the Inhumans, Him (aka Adam Warlock) and so on... Enjoy if you want.

Nah, nowhere near 60, heh. I've always just been the type to seek out the oddball stuff in life. Just so happens that there's a lot of it in the past! |

But it's all part of the Legends ecosystem. Smaller name guys like this fill out someone's collection and allocate tooling budget for other characters, so I'm good with it. |
