i'm definitely going to pick up doom and rex (if they actually restock the black figures in stores)

but one question.. why is that marvel legends figures get accessories and BAF parts, but all palpatine gets is a twig?.. you'd think they could give him a saber, or maybe hands with lighting bolts or something.

It's so Hasbro can sell us a version of Palpatine later on down the line that includes a lightsaber.

I jest of course...but it honestly wouldn't surprise me.

In all seriousness though, the failed inclusion of accessories for Palpatine has caused me to hold off on getting the figure altogether. It feels incomplete without them, and I'm a little fed up with the way Hasbro is starting to handle the line. Do we really need more versions of Luke and Han?!?!

According to Hasbro the answer is "of course,duh!!"

I am a sucker for the Black Series and I may be a minority but I like the different versions. That's not to say I don't want more, in fact I want much much more in the line of other characters, accessories, and I would love build a figures but I am still happy with the line overall. It could be because I have wanted 6 inch figures for so long and I am just happy to have them.

Either they're hyping "Cyber-Monday" or that's when products for Episode VII will start showing up at Toys R Us.

Nonetheless, that display is awesome.

Thanks. Actually N scale is one of the many scales for the train modelists. Here is an example.

Last two days retail finds -

Kirathis · 06-04-2015, 10:54 AM

Decided to round out my Thanos wave. For the first time I received a sub-par figure from an Amazon order. I have a feeling I now know what donmeca has been saying regarding the strange bellybutton issue on Spider Woman. There are two divots in her abdomen that look like someone stabbed the figure with a pen. Otherwise, pretty much decent as usual from Amazon.

i've been dying to get a Spider-woman... every single time i do find one. there is always a nasty looking stomach blemish. the paint never looks right on it, or as i said before it looks kinda like a tiny rectangle, but the paint looks off for some reason.

can you post some pics of your spider-woman? im curious if you encountered the same thing i've been seeing here in FL.

Marsala · 06-04-2015, 11:53 AM

Just got these in the mail.

tgbobafett · 06-04-2015, 03:09 PM

anyone else ever see these at walmart in the arts & crafts section before? pretty cheap and might be just the right size for maybe 6" figures but not for certain! It might be funny to have Leia in the slave outfit posing for deadpool or whoever and all he's done is draw a stick figure with boobs! lol

not $10 btw!!

Runamuck · 06-04-2015, 03:14 PM

I still need, like...all the Marvel Legends from this year. lol Have any of them shown up at Ross or something?
