Nice setup, mate! I'm still kicking myself for passing up that AIM soldier all those years ago at Fred Meyer.

[samsson37]

[ukmu]

I was searching around just now too.... I did come across THIS...dont laugh, as I think it might look pretty cool. Maybe even set behind some other stuff, as if overlooking the scene...

[bmorr]

nope. I don't want to modify them. i may use brown construction paper or something for his arm though.

, I jest B.... looks REALLY great, I'm waiting on my Paul's R Us order to make it across the pond! Love how Ant Man is all laid back like he is waiting on a beer or something. Nice posing!

[bmorr]

I had the Idea of taking a old colossus arm, painting it brown and slappin it on him.

Every wave needs to be as good as this one. 5 solid figures, you can rerelease a character like cyclops with a new version, and 1 rerelease that is wanted.

if I was to clone this wave setup with another successful wave, here's my picks.
Emma Frost, Captain Marvel, New Buck Vision, Executioner, Agent Venom, and the rerelease would be Flame On Human Torch

wheres the review??

[bmorr]

Here you go:

Ares: Ok. Lets start with him. Extremely well built. Very sturdy. Its been mentioned all around the boards already that he cant hold his sword. Very true. His axe howevor is a thing of beauty. His skull paint/decal/whatever is well done and no blemishes. his armor is raised off the chest so that it looks like armor and not jsut painted on his bare chest. There is even rivet detail on the shoulder straps. as im writing this review hovevor, he just pulled an omega red on me and his arm popped off his shoulder piece. It clicks back on, yeah, but its something i can live with. The bad though? the face. His eyes have no pupils and the best explanation i can find for his expression is that he looks like he just tasted something sour.

Cyclops: He is what ill refer as the "boring" one of the wave. Hes built on the revolutionary buck that we saw when the 90s cyke debuted three years ago. The paint apps are fantastic though with the gold being all sparkly. Its a nice upgrade to the astonishing xmen cyke we recieved back during the XMO toy line.

Ant-Man: Aside from the lacm of antennae and the H thing thats supposed to be on his waist, he is spot on for 1960s Ant Man. The front face of the helmet feels like it wants to come off, and is clearly two pieces. He also has the strangest choice of articulation. He was all the articulation that yellowjacket has but they added a thigh cut. very strange. But they clearly wanted a lanky fella, and thats what we got.

Deathlock: Interesting kitbash of cable and colossus. the paint is great. the bad part that i can see is his knee pads that'll keep his legs from being perfectly straight. His backpack actually stays on tight which is a miracle. I was worried about that. Oh, and there is room to mod his backpack to add a hose. There is a protruding nipple where a rubber tube can be added. i wish his rifle could clip onto the backpack like we could do with cable.

Valkyrie: Her headsculpt is awesome and i LOVE her braids detail. Hair does not inhibit neck movement. For once im not afraid to move her arms in fear of scarlet witch syndrome. Knees are a tad wobbly but whatever. Sword does a good job of staying in her hands but the sword in general feels rubbery as fuck. Similar deal with black knights butterknife of a sword.


The best of the wave though...............Im caught between ares and deathlock. both are kickass figures.

[ukmu]

bravo...great review!!! i ordered the same 5, but ordered a giant man baf piece at the same time so i will have to wait a few extra days.... BEST review i have read so far!!!!!

[bmorr]

hah, thanks man!

I know. I have to resist the temptation to pull it off and see what's going on under there.

Nice mini-reviews! Deathlok is the winner for me, I've wanted him from the beginning.
