Basically they told me to while not out of the realm of possibility, don't expect MODOK or Dazzler anytime soon.

Thank you.

Thanks to Kamendreda and FrankCastle. I must not be phrasing things right with google. I get lots of Wiki suggestions and not much helpful. It seems there isn't one site, I'm just gonna have to go case by case.

Thanks guys!

she was for a while, when she switched bodys and brainwashed by one of those assassin clans in japan.

They are in Jacksonville, FL as well.

that's right! she was given to Mandarin and she became Lady Mandarin, the assassin!

that would be a cool custom, btw.

I'm not talking about the pictures of the other figures from that wave, I'm talking about the cartoon drawing in the lower left hand corner. Steve Rogers was one, Deadpool, Rocket Racoon, etc,.. well, MODOK is on the back of wave 19,... that's why I ask.

Well Norman osborn was unmasked on the back of some of the packages. But he did have the green goblin mask in his hand so....might not count.

I hated that! Still do. Just make an asian character with psychic blade powers (wow, that sounded stupid). I feel like they destroyed an established female character just because Marvel wanted a female, asian X-man.

bmorr · 08-22-2012, 11:57 AM

So i walked into my local toysrus this morning during their stocking and saw this beauty:

A full case of wave 18. I was really hoping to find the FF spidey. They had the red/blue version instead.

I was nice to the older lady doing the stocking and she basically gave me free reign to all the cases that were on the floor. Too bad there was nothing else of interest. No new Star Wars as usual....

So I just freed my Masterworks Sentinel from its plastic prison and i thought the wolverine looked odd (besides the horrible paint job) and I was right. Hes a good half inch than any other marvel universe fig. This may have been discussed already, but im still kinda new here and this thing is over a year old so...

bmorr · 08-22-2012, 12:04 PM

that wolverine was from the older 2009 wolvie movie line, pre MU.

fallen69lee04 · 08-22-2012, 12:13 PM

heres my lil quick haul of the day, got the ff spidey when i got home, he was whaiting for me with flowers

lol

Comics | Marvel.com

I wish I could have done it for you.

dude its the thought that counts,thank you for trying,what can I say,only someone named D00MTR0N would be denied this figure.

Just to add a little to what bmorr said already... that's from the Wolverine Origins movie and has been repacked/repainted probably as much, if not more, than any other single 3.75" Marvel figure. He is shorter because most movie lines are a little bit, but a lot of people like that figure's size since Wolverine is supposed to be short.

Man, I know hearing someone tell you to "sell some stuff" is easier said than done but I hope you can find some things to sell or someone to trade with. I just sold a bunch of stuff to buy my Shockwave Hisstank and unless the guy on ebay screws me, it's on its way. Good luck.

KungfuGrip · 08-22-2012, 12:56 PM

Awesome Snail I need to snags one of those too. You gonna open it or keep it misb?

I hate you right now, lee!

I so want that FF Spidey! I actually passed up a new Hulk and red/blue Spidey today at my local Target (about 20 minutes ago). The Spidey had screwed up paint on his eyes, and the Hulk had a jacked up card. So I guess they got Wave 18, and the scalpers snatched them all except for the 2 fugly ones.
