The funny thing is that laura howlette head would make a better p-sylocke head.

It'd definitely make a good stand-in with a little work. IMO, the head-sculpt has an uncanny slightly "aged-up" likeness to Dafne Keen, the actress who played X-23 in Logan. As for Betsy, I've actually really warmed up to the current Psylocke head-sculpt but I truly prefer the sculpt that was released in the Uncanny X-force SDCC set.

Target pick ups. The Hulkbuster set was still $10 off and because some scumbag stole the BAF piece I got Carnage reduced to $14.

Okay so I'm pretty new to this Star Trek stuff and I love Picard, but they get the puniest little phasers.
The character likenesses are actually pretty good, and I didn't realize they have Burnham and Spock in the works, as well. Le woot!

Tim · 08-24-2018, 06:48 PM

If ya don’t mind me asking. Where’d you get them at? Because I definitely need to pick up that Picard. He’s a thing of beauty!

Brownfinger · 08-24-2018, 08:03 PM

I don't mind it one bit, my good man. I got them from BBTS. I meant to snap a close up of Picard when I still had light because the likeness is actually really good. You'll be pleased, I think.

Tomax · 08-24-2018, 08:22 PM

decided to replace the care bear i got at TRU. next to this one, the other one seems too generic. #Kenner

Went a little crazy this week. Trip to Funko HQ, birthday money, Paypal credit, and general money wasting haha. Not pictured is ML Wolverine, and 3 Yu-gi-oh! Pops

Found ML Silver Surfer at Walgreens today (finally) and it is AMAZING. I haven't been this excited about a figure in a very long time. I have the Marvel Select base with it, but even without that, the figure is just fantastic.

Awesome! Thanks man. I saw a review of Picard and you were right the Likeness is actually really well done. Mcfarlane has stepped up a bit this year. But I was able to put me in a order for Picard and The man with a thousand children (Kirk) haha. So thanks for the heads up

Maannnnn, they look great! Hows the articulation? Can they get into a realistic sitting pose? And are the ankles weird like their Jareth? Inquiring minds wanna know!!!

Brownfinger · 08-25-2018, 12:42 PM

Articulation is surprisingly good, about as good as their Destiny figures, if you have those. So much, much better than pretty much everything they'd put out before 2017. Their joints will always look weird to me and the swivels occur at the knee instead of the thigh. So that's a bit strange. But the range of motion itself is satisfactory. Shoulders, wrists, rotation at the elbows. They can be posed into perfectly adequate sitting poses if you want to put them into a chair, though crossing their legs might be a challenge. Really, they're great. I don't have Jareth, but their ankles do move. Not quite like Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black ankles do, but they have a bit of wiggle to facilitate posing. Hopefully that helps!

Man, it really is.

Enjoy your figures, I can't wait for Spock and Burnham.

Tim · 08-25-2018, 01:41 PM

Me neither now haha. Spock’s gonna be awesome. I’m hoping they do Bones and Scotty next. Riker would also be a welcomed surprise

Thanks gamestop for getting all the Deadpool Sauron wave for me. So much time and effort, not to mention gas money it saved me. Also picked up the new series of Ghostbusters from Vintage Stock. Next wave starts the Animated GB figures.

You get anything good in the Legendary Collection? I remember two years ago I got one as a Xmas gift, hadn't bought cards in several years. It was amazing, I got a Holo in every pack except one.

Secret Gate Guaridan from Metal Raiders which I never had growing up, got Ultra Delinquent Duo from Magic Ruler, and the others escape me at 3 AM except I got a super Archfiend in Dark Crisis but I had it back in the day. Wish I could remember what I got in the others. I think Legend of Blue Eyes was the unlucky one.

I unfortunately was not lucky as you were. I pulled one holo out of the six packs. Super rare Fairy Meteor Crush... But I really just wanted the gameboard for my yugioh display, so I wasn't totally bummed about not pulling anything good. At least a got one holo haha.
