Sorry if it seemed I was attacking people who like less mainstream characters that wasn't my intent at all.

As for me, I'm just happy Hasbro has struck a good balance between keeping the A list characters that sell at retail available while also hitting deeper cuts for collectors.

Yup, I agree; gatekeepers are the proverbial troll under the bridge. No need to apologize, I understood where you were coming from. I just wanted to also recognize that I rep shades of fanboyism in my excitement about certain things.

Welcome to the Ark, by the way. I’ve appreciated what I’ve read in your comments the last few weeks and hope you continue to participate.

And to be clear, wanting less popular characters isn't the problem it's being needlessly condescending to people who like more mainstream characters that's the problem.

oh I absoluetely agree there are still gatekeeping idiots around in full force, I just thought you were attributing a certain insincerity to these guys when, as garbage as they are, they (or at least the ones that are actually calling for Hasbro to "do X instead of Y" rather than just simply shitting on what Hasbro is making) at least seem pretty sincere about it; sorry if I misunderstood

Classic ToyBiz carded Iron Man 90's animated series carded is really cool! I was hoping to collect those specific characters I'm most familiar with and here they are! I really hope for a Mandarin soon in series 2 as he is the main villain/antagonist (along with M.O.D.O.K.) The ONLY Comic Mandarin was released 18 years ago in 2006 in a Face Off 2-pack with a varient which definitely could use an update as well.

I wish the deluxe Danny Ketch head was engulfed by more flame to set him apart from Johnny Blaze & evoke 90's art more.

So Wolverine and Iron Fist have rib swivel AND ab crunch??! #TheNewGoldStandard

They've been using that same Ghost Rider head for a while now. A more Mark Texeira styled head (squintier eyes) would have been cool.

A neat gimmick would be if the Ghost Rider head/neck swapped out at the upturned jacket collar and the set included a secondary Ketch head/neck/collar.

EDIT: Preternia was wrong. Ketch is only 50!

[BBManik]

I really like these. Only downside for me is modern Luke Cage is just a dude in a shirt. Would’ve been great if the two pack included his classic look.

[Power Lord X]

I need that Skaar and Warbird.

Wolverine and Danny are maybes.

I might just get the cheaper Retro Ghost Rider instead.

They already made a classic Luke Cage last year. I'm actually a little annoyed by this 2-pack because of that lol but, whatever its fine.

[Jeddostotle7]

Holy shit, a whole basically-wave that seems well done enough that it actually more or less makes $25 a pop worth it???? Miraculous

[Harbinger]

Ironfist and dan ketch gr are so bought! Was hoping for a classic blue jeans and tiara powerman. Making warbird a target exclusive is stupid! Maybe if ahe was in jer original red exposed belly outfit but thia one ahould be a standard release.

Same. I already have the Bonecrusher BAF Wolverine figure so I'm considering passing on the new Wolverine.

[TheBlueMarvel]

Everything is an instant buy except Warbird, I’ll keep rocking the 3pack version. And I’ll have to find fist solutions for Luke as I’m not a fan of the four-fingered name-ring – I know he’s been illustrated with them, but they can leave that stuff for the late 80’s. As if an invulnerable (mostly) 50ish-toner (he’s listed at 25, but that feels inaccurate given recent fights) needs brass knuckles..

EDIT: Skaar is the best thing here…Now do a proper Green Scar/World Breaker, please

[deecee4]

Isn't the name ring specifically from the Richard Corben run? I dont seem to recall him wearing one before or after that.

Yes, it was for the MAX series and they didn’t even do that costume, which would have made this better as an 'interpretation.' As is, it feels insulting…

[Darth Revan]

Thats Ms Marvel, They can give her stupid names but she is marvel's version of wonder woman.

[Synth]

Danny Ketch Ghostrider with Bike!
Ms. Marvel "Warbird" Carol Danvers ("you stole my powers", Rogue!) is a great update of the multifigure 3-pack from 2014.
Classic Iron Fist with Modern Luke Cage?
I held off to buy the most recent Classic Power Man Luke Cage for this 2-pack in a classic titled Heroes for Hire nonetheless only to be disappointed to see the modern civy's which is still available in a 2-pack with Claire from 2018 for like $10 to $17

What about this figure do you not like?

[StudioOneTwelve]

Gotta say while I love so much about the new Astonishing Wolverine, I wish they didn't go with the yellow blocks on his gloves and boots. The original comic run didn't have that from what I can see and it was added in later and it really just does nothing for the overall design. Otherwise that's gotta be the best looking Wolverine to date. Oh, and the unmasked head. It's awful.

[ThorOdinson123]

Odin will be apart of the 85th Anniversary collection. Amazon spoiled that

[mangkanorxxv]

Odin? the BAF from 2015?

[BBManik]

Man, now I’m wishing they’d made a MAX version of Cage ��

Certain types of objectifications of the female form are ok with Hasbro, while others are not despite them being accurate to how a character has been depicted. But beyond that, those low thigh cuts meant to cleanly expose the fairly bare, fairly curvaceous thighs (oh, the hypocrisy) are an eyesore and have the opposite effect of what was intended. But, hey, nice job introducing the second female figure with an ab crunch...unfortunately, I won’t be nabbing that one.
