Question for anyone else who owns Ronin Wolverine. Does the short sword he come with have a universal issue of not fully fitting into the sheath? I busted my first one after forcing it in a bit and trying to strap it to Wolverine, the sword snapped off inside the sheath. I got a replacement short sword today and it seems like this one has the same issue of not completely wanting to go into the sheath without forcing it.
Also, in other news Darkseid will be processing tomorrow, and will most likely be in hands end of next week, or a little after...

Think I'm gona wait on the reviews for him.Last few releases I've gotten have been pretty killer, but there were some disappointing figures in 2018 as well and this is a very different level of quality and construction. For $180 I need to know I'm gonna love it.

Plus I'd hafta go back and get the classic Supes to go with him, so it would be more like $300 or so.
Speaking of Supes, can anyone do pics of his bullet effects attached to Iron Man? |

Oh man, I had time to unbox my Rags Thor, he is excellent! And Homecoming Home Made Suit should be here today! 10 days into 2019 and I already have 3 Mezzys!

The Spider-Man is really nice too. Is it a new thing for them to have the neck jointed to the head and the head to still be moveable on the neck piece? I don't recall any other figures with the jointed head and neck being articulated at all.

Correct, this is the first time, it is pretty cool, and I like the fact that he came with 3x of them.

When you get Spidey, tell me if you think his hood is too small. It's a little thing maybe, but looking at it pisses me off!

Nah that's on many figures. Just looking at the ones I have--Dredd, Aquaman, BvS Supes, Daredevil, Cap, Deadpool, Red Skull, the comic Spideys, Deathstroke, Iron Man, & Green Arrow. Ones I have that aren't constructed like that are the JL and AK Batmans, Jokers, Spocks, Wonder Woman, Harley, Catwoman & Punisher. So the female body doesn't have that ball joint at the base of the neck at all, the two Bats I have both have a thick neck with the cape attached under the neckpiece of the cowl--so that makes sense--and the Jokers are on the skinnier frame male Star Trek body.Not sure why they didn't use it for Punisher.

Thor, it is slightly small, doesnt look too bad on the masked head, and it isnt THAT bad on the unmasked head, but it is a tad small, and it looks better over the masked head IMO.

The hood doesn't really fit his head all that well, I agree.

I took a look at a couple of reviews and I thought Darkseid looked pretty cool! I know @ $180 it isn't for everyone but I pre-ordered it when I first saw it. So far I'm not disappointed.

I pre-ordered, then canceled... then thought about ordering again after i got ironMan and was reminded how great Mezco can be- but then I saw the pics showing up on line, and while the people posting say they are happy with him- it just doesn't look worth the price of admission... I'll hold out for the Injustice Darkseid from StormCollectibles I think

I'm glad you aren't disappointed! For me though the lack of a paint wash on his face and the fact that his head is practically floating off his body makes it an easy pass

Gonna pass on Darkseid. Paint apps aren’t up to snuff. Why bother using polystone when it just looks like plastic with no wash? Seems like elbow articulation suffers also, but the main issue for me is the toyetic appearance when simple paint ops would have given it a realistic appearance.

Tactical Suite Batman dropped into my PoL. I'm starting to wonder if there are figures I should keep and some I should let go.
