There is absolutely NO price difference between the Walgreens figures and regular ones. Who are you buying from that is charging you more? That is your own fault, not Hasbros.

I fail to see the issue.

On top of that, they didnt even bother with some blue shading (from what it seems), even though they clearly acknowledge that it is needed (see promo pic)

Where do you see blue paint on Surfer in the picture? Also, why the hell would you want blue paint on Surfer? He's called the SILVER Surfer, NOT the Silver and Blue Surfer.

Meanwhile almost 20 yrs ago, Toybiz actually bothered to throw in some blue shading.

Yeah, and Toy Biz's figures are shitty as fuck. Balls for what should be hips, hands that look awkward when you try to put them in a fist position, gorilla-like proportions, no ratchet joints, so the joints are loose over time, etc. I own the Toy Biz Surfer figure and it is hands down the second worst Marvel Legend in my collection.

Hope Hasbro rereleases him on a retro Toybiz card for those of us who aren't able to get him this time around.

noone wants blue paint on the figure. what a bizarre nitpick. really bizarre.

Im liking the figure ! Im just hoping i can get a better pic of his face. From here it looks ehh. I'd prefer a pissed off face.

Why? Having an impassive face is very in-character for the Surfer. He has that whole "detached from the world" angle going on.

That's a weird thing to hope for.

No its not.

Dolemite · 03-30-2018, 06:48 AM

Oh, I never realized that's what those cards were supposed to be. Okay, not it's not a weird thing to hope for.

Love that the F4-related side of the MU is getting such commitment from Walgreen's exclusive Legends. Wonder if that rumored Super Skrull will pan out after-all.

Considering we found out about that Super Skrull the same way we found out about this Silver Surfer way before it was officially revealed or confirmed, as an entry in Walgreens' database, I'm gonna say yes, it will.

I don't think so. Definitely can't imagine them not doing Doom sometime soon, though.

I definitely need this guy to replace my Silver Savage on my cosmic shelf. Despite it not being new, I do think it fits the character!

edit: ack, wrong thread

how do you delete a post around here ...

Parademon1 · 04-04-2018, 12:27 PM

Surfed looks awesome & the 3 pair of hands is great!

Parademon1 · 04-09-2018, 08:13 PM

Hasbro hit a HR with this figure. Just hoping Super Skrull is the classic version & not some short lived crape version.
