I picked up the Batman vs. Clayface set. Still no luck in finding the Nightwing vs. Killer Croc set.

The figure still has a bit of sheen, but nowhere near what previous photos showed, and while the webs are not sculpted onto the figure, the line work is really clean, bright and vibrant. The extra hands, in particular the wall crawling hands are really amazing, and a lot of the issues I had with the ASM2 Spidey are gone (such as his wierd looking feet and tiny hands.) He can't dangle his arms close to his side unfortunately, but really...who poses Spidey just standing there? My favorite part of the figure though...that smiling head. It brings a lot of life to the figure that hasn't been there with previous Spideys.

Here's a few pics I did goofing around with him tonight. It might not be Valentine's day anymore, and I'm no Advocate Pinoy...but it was fun to mess around with him and Felicia.

And please...ignore my dusty X-Box...lol.

And in doing these...it makes me realize how badly I want a Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy.

In my humble opinion, Hasbro hit this Spidey out of the park.

My local Walmarts have been HORRIBLE since Christmas...but my local Targets have been even worse. Either they have no product what so ever, or no one is working the aisles, because they look like they have been looted and plundered. The only thing being stocked is Ninja Turtle Mutations, and that's about it. At least my local TRU is keeping up.

I picked up the Marvel Select Anti-Venom at my new lcs today.

I had a chance to compare both the Marvel Legends Infinite Anti-Venom to this one while I was at the store. The Marvel Select version just looked more ominous to me and had better detailing on it plus the base it comes with looks good too.

Yeah, I like the MS one better, I think it looks more accurate than the ML one , but be aware that his points are kinda sharp. I don't know haw many times I was moving him around and poked my hand.

Trivial Psychic · 03-01-2015, 05:42 PM

Grabbed me a sweet new Jason Voorhees tee, as well as Combiner Wars Black Jack, the new ML Daredevil and first appearance Baroness at a local toy show today. Was bummed a bit when the seller who sold me Black Jack told me that I missed out on Motormaster by a few minutes, but at least I know he's out there now!

Also...500th post! Whoo hoo!

Darcnezz · 03-02-2015, 12:58 AM

Picked up a pair of beasts and a modern one.

Scythe · 03-02-2015, 09:38 AM

Alittle late but how cool is this??

The wife-unit for Valentine's Day made this awesoke Toku card along with a Superman card!

She also made a special dinner, Dino Curry!

What exactly makes it Dino Curry? The fact that we're both Abaranger fans and she made it with a ton of Dino Guts!

Finally, my Valentine's Day present:

Took all of my strength not to explode and Crappoopie myself when I found out she was getting me all this.

Friggin' amazing! I thought it was awesome to get a New 3DS from the wife, but that... that's incredible. Before seeing the card I knew exactly what would be found inside. I certainly approve!

zombombie · 03-02-2015, 01:11 PM

I was in Dublin this weekend and I was so happy to spot this guy in a comic shop!

deathofthelines · 03-02-2015, 04:41 PM

Picked up red black and pink movie rangers at tru today. Had won a visa gift card at work so they were free. Also got a 4 inch. Baymax armored fig. Wish they had a unarmored one but no luck.

Head are updated so anyone have ideas for good human heads for them?

tgbobafett · 03-02-2015, 05:50 PM

YAY!! finally found megatron at hobby lobby for only $10!!

What state did you find them in? I'm tracking these things until they find their way into my neck of the woods.

TheBlueMarvel · 03-02-2015, 09:34 PM

YAY....done with Gothitropolis...for now. Of course my tastes for the line revolved around three of the rarer Scarabus figs...oh, and toxin just for the shits and giggles...
