Within the next couple of waves I'm sure. There's still four figures left to reveal over the various cons for this wave. They can't do every figure right immediately. And apparently they can't ever do Jim Lee Storm ever. (I have to kid, that Storm figure looks amazing and I will love it but it was neither my first or second most wanted Storm look)

TheBlueMarvel · 09-09-2017, 10:46 AM

The paint apps look very good on all of the figs. I hope that same crispness makes it to us at retail. I'm really digging that Storm, more than I expected to....love the lightning effects.

Wild conjecture, hackneyed and unsupportable stances now rule the day...and I'm running with it.

Toy-stradamus has spoken and I see doom...Doom...DOOM, I TELL THEE!

Well said my man!
Well said indeed.

@prime;-) is current, you even said yourself Asian is Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Chinese or other...lol. Point being, in North America it is quite a racist statement to call someone from Japan Chinese, Oriental or Other.lol just saying. Anyway, already WAY over it.

Congratulations on your awesome reveals guys. You will be spending a lot of money soon!

Lastly, that 8" Apocalypse may look even better with smaller figures?!? Anyway, I am happy for the 6" collectors and I thank you for your condolences for my scale, I appreciate that.

Haha tell me about it.

Also please stay on topic guys...

And didn't I call it that they would show off hotter Marvel stuff during their own Hascon vs the SDCC that past...

I remember. I think that was when I dubbed you 'poop'er of parties.'

lol

Love the bright colors on all these figures. That's something I felt DCUC excelled at. I hated the washes on the Toybiz figs. Has to has really hit its stride with LEGENDS.

SORRY to the 3.75" collectors. When the 1:18 Marvel Universe figures first started coming out, this is what it felt like for the 6" collectors.

Louise Belcher · 09-09-2017, 01:55 PM

Wow! That Wolverine looks great! They even bothered to sculpt his glove and not just paint it(ughh). I think I may give ML a second chance with this new Wolverine, or at least just get him.

Hmmm... not that it matters, but is Psylocke's outfit supposed to be blue or purple?

Blue outfit purpley hair based on the number of women I run into at cons dressedlike her.

graphyt · 09-09-2017, 08:14 PM

I think I like the head sculpt on the old Klaw more than the new one, but otherwise, really looking forward to that 2 pack.

Parademon1 · 09-09-2017, 10:41 PM

No more yellow /black wolvys ever need be made! That is the definitive version! Hasbro knocked it outta the park! Same for Sasquatch & every figure in that wave. That King Cobra came out excellent! That's 80s outback Storm; no? Loving Black Bolt & classic Namor! Clean shaven look for the win. Still waiting on classic Bronze age Ironman & classic Thor.

TimothyR · 09-09-2017, 11:52 PM

Finally, can't wait for wolverine.

Tomax · 09-10-2017, 12:44 AM

That's his mask when it's down. Wolverine has sometimes been drawn as being able to pull his cowl back like it's a hood and it just sits hanging off of the back of his neck.

Sassy is definitely too big for a typical Beast. Beast is large but he isn't huge if that makes any sense.

Way too big. Jackal is the best body to become Beast.

I'd say a good size for him would be about Sentry size but thicker limbed.

It's possible that it could be used for the current manifestation of Beast's ongoing mutation. That said, it may be a little too large for the new 'hulking' Beast...
