Just picked up Inhumans pack on clearance at Walmart, my HEB on 3009 had Mi wave 1 restocked, I left Wasp since I already got one. Just letting those in the area know that it's there.

OMG. Girlfriend found this while she was cleaning out her closet.

I'm pretty sure I bought at least 3 of them when they came out but we can only find this one.

I remember when I found my XMO Deadpool. For a long time I thought this figure was cancelled or that my area wasn't getting it anyway, eventually I was in a Target in New Braunfels and while perusing the toy aisle I thought I'd give the XMO pegs a look. The only Deadpool was on the highest peg at the very back, Needless to say I was pretty stoked. Shpadoinkle!

[cidman911]

This was the only one I couldn't find.

The only stupid Hasbro missile launching toy I ever wanted and we never found it. I'm sure it was online somewhere but I never bothered to check at the time.

[snake5289]

That was the one I preferred.

[En Sabah Nerd]

Huh, weird the missile Deadpool was bordering onto shelf-warming where ever I checked. I never bought one because I didn't want to pay for a figure with a giant cannon, when all I wanted was the figure. I suppose some thought that getting the individual was too hard and compared to online prices for the individual, the cannon didn't seem too pricey suddenly.

Unfortunatly, I wasn't into collecting 4" figs when the XMO line came out. It wasn't until the remainders were clearanced out at TRU did i pick them up after the MU line started. Picked up cyke and iceman.

[bmorr]

its been awhile since ive taken some figure photos. dusted off an old city street dio thing i painted up a few years back.

[K Dubious]

Hey guys I know our MU fanbase stretches far and wide, I actually just moved to Indianapolis and was wondering if anyone knew of any good stores in this area? I know about Kokomo toys which is a little slice of toy heaven about 45 min north of me, but if there are any collectors in the area let me know where you do your hunting, thanks.

I was just thinking about it as i began to rearrange my shelves, and I know its been a complaint before. WHERE ARE THE VILLIANS !!!!!! Unless you army build ( I do ) were really short on villains. I would love a Wendigo, Titana ,Purple Man, Red Ghost w monkeys, Graviton,Grey Gargoyle, The Wizard, Egghead , Arcade and the two I can't believe they didn't make in the movie lines.. Maliketh(dumbest move ever not to make) and my favorite jobber BATROC (they could have made him in movie and classic variant version) any Im missing or ones you want to see ?

[snake5289]

Personally I wanted a lot of the Ghost Rider villains. Vengeance, Blackout, Mephisto, Blackheart, Orb, Lilith and the Lilin, Zarathos, Centurious, Deathwatch, Madcap, and, Scarecrow. I'm sure most of those are too under the radar of most buyers though.

Oh and of course MORBIUS. He's long overdue.

[bmorr]

any new villains are appreciated

[En Sabah Nerd]

At least a lot of the villains we have so far are top-tier "only a team can take me on" characters. So far we have at least one villain per team, though yes I want some more villains than just the Big-Boss types. I wonder if we might not see a Scarecrow because the DC one is just so much more popular, we could, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

[samsson37]

I forgot Kingpin.... and paste pot pete..I kind of fell in love with his antics from the ultimate spiderman show.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I hope they make an Annihilus (classic or annihilation bugged out form). I've also really wanted an Onslaught for awhile too, the Hercules buck could be used I think.

[K Dubious]

Just make one, lol

[ukmu]

^^^^^
Sweet custom Kdub.... what is the recipe??

I think, for now at least, making your own is the way to go.

Problem is, at least from a corporate view, 2nd and 3rd tier villains would be a hard sell. The casual buyer or child won't know them. They could at least give us the top guys and add in more villains as.tie ins in the movie lines. The way they gave us The Blob in XMO,Crossbones in the Cap Movie Line,and Skrulls in Avenger Movie Lines. Not the best for articulation and sculpts, but better than none.

We are getting Whirlwind in a few weeks though. That is a plus! They are slowly trickling out. In a few years time, the MI line.Will.fill in a lot of gaps. Hasbro seems to be doing this line right.

[kylactus]

I don't know, the think em up and crank em out approach worked for years with the ninja turtles. I watched the cartoon religiously as a kid and They made figures I didn't recognize, I still bought them though.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I don't feel like 2nd and 3rd tier villains are too hard to sell. Blastaar, The Wrecker, Absorbing Man, Whirlwind, and Constrictor are all figures who Hasbro made. The only reason I see for them not to make Annihilus is how many new parts they'd have to make for him exclusively. Though they did make astonishing Beast and I don't see him being reused at all.

I miss figures like that. It seems like everything at retail has taken several steps back last few years, especially movie figures.

I agree. I think hasbro has just been passing the buck and blaming retailers for "demanding" peg warmers. I don't know, it just seems like the newer different characters sell, and the other ones peg warm. I'm pretty sure retailers just want figures that sell.

I love the Deadpool figure from the XMO line, but that giant si drives me nuts! it's bigger than the one that comes with 6" Electra!

Yeah the si was a little wonky, but you could still fit it on his back between the swords. I forgot about his accessories... A si, pistol, assault rifle, and 2 swords! MI/MU doesn't seem to have anything these days for the most part.

[kylactus]

I know! and the detail on the AK-47 rivals most GI Joe weapons.
