I think it's actually the Iron Man 2 Select figure with a new chest piece, hips and thighs, seems too professional to be a mass produced custom though unless they used some 3D printing haha

Was out looking for the new waves but no luck. I did score a Sentry and Machine Man from the Odin wave on clearance at Wal-Mart for $7 each.
Also grabbed Moon Knight cause I've wanted him but passed a few times. Couldn't resist today. |

On the subject of the potential Legends price hike, I've been getting into the Disney ToyBox line. They're a good deal cheaper than Legends and surprisingly nice IMO.

^ Saw those at the Disney Store... the Hulk one looks like a great solid figure. And kinda shocking Cap didn't make the first wave of figures IMO.

Oddly they've teased a Captain America and Star-Lord, but neither seem to have officially gone up for sale or even official photos.

So the dude at my Target said they've been told by their district managers not to stock or sell any new Spider-Man cases that come in until their current sale is over. -_-

So I picked up Taskmaster and King Cobra through my LCS today for a fairly good price (about 24 dollars after taxes) and I have to say that while both have their issues, these are fairly good, and I'm glad to finally have them. I'll make it no secret...I HATED the Udon Taskmaster. Not because it was a design unfamiliar to me, but more because of the design choices of the figure, with both the body, and the accessories. No pistols, no trigger fingers, Baron Zemo's holsters (complete with engraved "Z" on the side, the lightsaber weapon, and an overall strange body sculpt that had a lot of innovations (especially in the ankles) but made the figure clunky and not all that fun to play with in hand. The new Taskmaster rectifies that itch for me, as it's the classic design that we love, with reused parts that make sense (we have all seen the shield, pistol and sword before, most of them with Zemo.) He uses the Bucky Cap mold, and he has a trigger finger hand for holding the pistol. There are some QC issues though. For some reason, the cape on mine is long. Really long. When plugged into the back, it's actually goes past his feet, meaning you may have to remove the cape, or let it rest loose on his shoulders when posing him. (EDIT: the cape issue is so bad, I ended up cutting off about half an inch of it after this review to fix it.) Also, the gauntlets were assembled backwards on mine, and since I was unable to correct them by spinning (I HATE white paint on figures) I had to head up the wrists and forearms to get them set correctly. Also, you'll want to check the gauntlets themselves for paint splotches, the right gauntlet on mine had orange dots all over them, which I was able to remove with an exacto knife and some TLC. The shield can be plugged into the back for storage, but not while the figure is wearing the cape, so you'll have to pick your poison there. Also letting you know, the skull head from the Udon Taskmaster DOES NOT fit on the new one, but can be easily dremeled to fit. I have included a pic of how it would look should you decide to perform surgery to it. Also, the hands from Bullseye match up perfectly in terms of plastic color, but you'll also need to customize the new TM's hands so that they can be easily removed. I may do this though, as I can imagine the kunai throwing effect would look great with him. As for King Cobra, he's also a perfect example of body reuse done right. The head sculpt is awesome, and the cape plugs nicely into his back. The green tones are a bit richer and more metallic than Green Goblin's, and the stinger/venom bracelets are well sculpted. I honestly have no complaints, and this has been one of the few figures I've got out of the box with no QC issues from Hasbro in a while. Also, for those wondering, the Infinity Gauntlet on the Thanos BAF piece IS NOT sculpted to the arm. The hand pops off easily enough, and the bracer part of the gauntlet can be slid off of the purple arm with a little bit of work. Now to see if it can actually be worked onto the original Thanos BAF... Last edited by Trivial Psychic; 02-15-2018 at 02:43 AM.. |

@Black Arbour
Comics and Cocktails is a very good shop in the UK, and one of the few here that don't over charge. They are sending me the Infinity wave this coming week. If they say Ronan is coming, I believe it. |

I can vouch for them too , they were a Facebook page group but now have issued a website, I haven't had any issues with them and the contact is guaranteed.

A friend of mine was at my local target and got three cases of the new Spidey wave for the sale price of $9.99. I was kind of hoping he would offer me one of the cases but it seems he has unfortunately turned into a little bit of a scalper who I’m kind of now having a fight with. Maybe I’ll get lucky at another target locally and find them. But I can understand the store not putting them out until the sale is over.
