MI is still going strong as far as I'm concerned.

Black cat, Bishop, maybe big time spidey, North star, armored Daredevil, and maybe thunderstrike have already got me interested.

The articulation changing over time doesn't bother me so long as the sculpts are still good. Though Bishop with one closed hand makes no sense. He of all people should be able to dual wield his guns. Especially if no energy blast effect is being included. I do like they have a holster for his pistol though.

They pretty much have a boxset ready to go of classic avengers now with that Beast. Sinister 6 too now with that sandman and upcoming vulture and ock.

Also, is it my imagination or is there a non-furred beast in the dio? No clear shots of him, but he's in blue tights with bare arms and bare feet, which was always beast's trademark classic suit.

Instead of the hinged elbow and swivel bicep like most of the MU figures the elbows on the new ones are a swivel hinge type so it still has the same function of being able to flex and turn in or out. He won't be able to hold the gun with both hands realistically though cuz of the lack of wrist swivels.

I'm really just more miffed at skinny looking sculpt for Bishop and lack of even a waist swivel for the new torsos.

Otto seems a little tall....but this is a prototype.

He is tall because he is using Absorbing Man legs just like Sandman.
It look like a Baron Zemo torso & arms with a new vest with octo-arms. I doubt he will change much.

Was certain we'd never see Jugglossus and certainly not before Emma. Wow. I hope they will keep the articulation the same on figures like those and Northstar since the work as already been done.

Those Joe club figures are insanely priced and all I hear are problems and complaints from the people that buy them. I'm sure something actually run by Hasbro wouldn't have some of those issues though.

Basically the Avengers line method (same as Joes). As I said I would be fine with that on Bishop. That's what it looked like but couldn't tell for sure as they haven't done any poses showing that and it was mentioned that they cut it out. If so then it's an easy fix. The torso bothers me a lot less on Bishop than it does on Beast.

Iron Man 3 had no toyline in this scale and you will never convince me otherwise :P

[En Sabah Nerd]

Vulture looks neat, but something is off about Ock. He has a chubby torso with normal arms and strong guy legs? Maybe it's because that's a prototype, but his tentacles are too short, again.

These digital models always have me guessing on the final product. I would love it if he had rubber arms that were a bit longer and had wires inside like the some of the 90's Spider-Man toys.

Bendy tentacle arms that are at least long enough to appear that he could stand on them alone, or no purchase. I understand why Omega Red's tentacles aren't bendable because they're supposed to appear thin, but Doc Ock's arms are supposed to be strong and thick enough to support him with ease.

[redfox]

Wow, a great selection of characters! Wish Shanna was barefoot, but Ugg boot Shanna is better than no Shanna.

True, I don't remember the last time Shanna wore boots, if she ever did...
The figure looks good so far anyway, maybe we'll see the proto at NY toy fair?!

I read something from the panel that better articulation could return in future waves. No waist and no wrists is a crime. I'm always trying to be optimistic with this line but these new figures send mixed messages.

That Bishop looks cartoony, not in a good way. Lack of waist.... guh!

Yeah, Iceman, I hope to see Emma soon too and on the proper buck.

As for the Club idea and Joe Club figures: I have 3 friends who do the Joe Sub figures and I do too. None of us have had any problems with our figures or the Joe Club. Not saying there aren't problems, just saying its not as terrible as some Joe fans claim. I would love Marvel Club figures but I'd rather they just raise the price to $13-$14 a figure and make them direct to consumer. Keep the articulation, fan votes, do it! This line was killed at retail BY HASBRO a year and a half ago. Multiple Iron Man 2 figures, Thor movie figures, and endless Caps and Spideys were the bullets.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

I'm skipping the Beasts, lamo Spidey, Thunderstrike, Colossonaut, Dock Ock, Armored Daredevil, & now Capt. Marvel.
I predict Vort will be selling many many Vulturemen in the future.
I will reluctantly get Black Cat, Bishop, Shanna & Gamora.
I am looking forward to Northstar & Sandman. unpowered Sandman will need some regular forearms
Executioner & Emma Frost better be in later 2015. Still too long to wait. Especially since we know those are already designed!

[Torpedo]

I will definitely buy...

Beast (blue fur)
Sandman (green-striped shirt)
Vulture
Northstar
Black Cat
Doctor Octopus

I might get Shanna the She-Devil. Are there plans for Ka-Zar and Zabu?

I add my voice to those hoping to see production of Emma Frost and Skurge the Executioner.

[ukmu]

I may get the green Sandman just for the head and pop it on Iron Patriot so I have an Osbourne painted head.

Right... there are 2 ways about this one. Water slide decals or stickers. Both are relatively painless and cheap. You will have to do it though with three simple steps.
1. ebay(for the paper)
2. laser printer(professional shop)
3. software (to size your images)

WATERSLIDE DECALS.... there are a million and one videos on youtube on the HOW TO of decals. Involves white vinegar and patience, make extra and practice. You will need to buy WATER SLIDE PAPER from ebay.... it will need to be 'protected' after applied with an enamel of sorts. Dont really recall what it is,but the videos know more thahn I do.


STICKERS.... get good quality paper that the printers may or may not have. Again, ebay for high quality sticker paper. Or just use regular sticker sheets and place clear packing tape over it and cut to size. that is what i use mostly.

Which ever way you go, you will need to have it done on a super laser printer. The expensive kind they have Staples or places like that. Just size your hi-res image and place as many as will fit on the sheet. Since what you will be doing is copyright infringement, dont be all chatty with the printer tech and say too much.

SIZING.... use your favourite software to size the image as you see fit. Advice, make several sizes as they are small and what you think you need and what yopu really need may differ. if you are unaware who to size the image.... allow youtube to walk you through it. Or better yet, get a friend to do it all for you including the printing for free, that is what I did!!

ask google questions, watch youtube and look at samples at a high end printer.... the giuant box stores have the expensive LASER printers. Best to start with a local family ran place and they should be able to do it, or point in the right direction.

It isnt that difficult though, just smile and stay persistent and someone will help you. As always, stay calm and hail HYDRA.


I am UKMU, and I approve this message.

Vort is getting my money. He deserves it more than these clowns from hasbro

yeah I feel like thats a really weird choice, but they seem to be pulling from Marvel Avengers Alliance games a lot so

I'm really happy to be getting bishop, just wish he hadn't gone on the subway diet.

The head on the grey Beast isn't the version I was hoping for but the b,he head looks great. I'll still the to get a SHS Beast but may have to settle that.

I'll get Bishop since he's easy to fix.

Sandman is proper quality.

Northstar, Jugglossus, and probably Doc cOck for sure but the rest I'll wait and see how they turn out or how I feel about them later.

He's been hiding in the Morlock tunnels surviving off what he kills. Getting lean for the New York marathon.

I was noticing that too.

Not a bad choice at all then when you think about it. Avengers Alliance is becoming a place where many are getting exposed to the larger Marvel Universe characters with, including obscures.

[wylde bil]

doc oct, vulture, sandman and a none cat beast (are about GD time)
bigtime spidey (just to keep up the suit collection i unintentionally started)
colossal jugs (just for fun)
bishop (cause more xmen to fight sentinels are always needed)

if i can find an all sand sandman for a good price ill get him too

so i only need to find 7 and 1 variant ooo joy

so i will probably just have a even more growing list of figs i cant find to add to

antman (cause i cant afford a giant man)
black knight (need bad guys)
ares (NEED bad guys)
deaths head (cause robots that kill are cool )
red she hulk (NEED BAD guys)
deathlok (xforce and robotic corpses that kill are cool)
whirlwind ( NEED BAD GUYS)

i guess my only hope is hasbro gets their collective asses in gear to get these toys to brick and mortar shops or hope none of these figs become under made so that the prices drop to normal prices after the initial frenzy when they drop

cause honestly nothing on my need list is a got to have.

i will probably pick up a legends dormammu, cause you can never have enough over-sized bad guys

Yeah I saw a couple of stores restock this line yesterday and they were only wave 1 figs (no Wasps sadly but there were new shipments of Hulk which is how I know it was wave 1 and not the remnants of Wave 2).

I'm like "Are you kidding me?"
