I'm actually thinking that maybe the Lockjaw they teased back when might be in a two pack with Crystal, that would be swell.

Crystal, Maximus and Lockjaw. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Bye Gorgon!

I don't know that they're doing three packs anymore but we know they're doing two packs again, then I'd want (as I imagine most people would) Crystal way more than Maximus or Gorgon. We'll see but I imagine that with the overall shift to Inhumans stuff we could see a wave of nothing but Inhumans characters eventually.

[UrsaMagnus]

And I'd be okay with that. I love the Inhumans.

But then again, I'm easy to please. I'll happily take pretty much anybody from the MU.

I don't like how some people are coming out now and claiming a love for the Inhumans but are clearly just saying that because Marvel is showing them more preference right now. Like I heard someone who claimed to be a "long-time" Inhuman fan but couldn't say what Black Bolt's real name was (seriously one of the dumbest/easiest real names) or what Medusa's powers are, just a band-wagon hanger-on. It's not like I've ever really liked the Inhumans more than the X-men but I was always aware of them and liked them as a sort of alien space mutant version of the X-men with a very different social dynamic (X-men had the civil rights angle while Inhumans had a weird/neat take on monarchies). Maybe with a focus on Inhumans we could get an actual Ronan figure since he was Crystal's husband for a while and then maybe some more cosmic characters after that since the Inhumans became very integral to a lot of cosmic happenings during the DnA cosmic run.

[UrsaMagnus]

The Inhumans have always been really cool. I've enjoyed seeing them whenever they appeared and were used right in a story. Meaning not just put in as tools or to get jobbed.

And I agree that their rise to prominence during the DnA cosmic stuff was just pitch perfect. "War of Kings" is my favorite story of recent times (granted, mainly because of how prominent Gladiator is in it, who I've adored since day one), and I just loved the status they set up for them. Ruling the Kree Empire had such a huge amount of story potential. But once again rather than allow them to grow in that new role, they got dragged back to Earth.

Truthfully, I could gush about "War of Kings" all night.

I think a proper Inhumans 3 pack box would include interior art of the Supreme Intelligence like he appears on his screen, almost like getting another figure free.

I use craft water base paints. When doing yellow I start with a white or off white base coat to wipe out any stronger colors underneath. I will usually do 3 coats of yellow before starting any other color.

Sounds like a solid way to go. For me, if I can't bend the knees 10 times in a row with zero paint rub then it is a fail. We like to play and pose not just stand static on a shelf. I like to use base parts that match and if paint is required, then disassembling and sanding is a must. Then followed up with sealing and the "super glue trick" before it is done. That's just me.

Crystal and Lockjaw two pack!!! Sign me up. I am a fan of the Inhumans, while I never read a single page in a comic about them, I did enjoy them in the FF cartoon 25 years ago in the early nineties/late eighties. I don't any o news real names but I still like them. There wasn't a comic book store anywhere where I grew up on Maui. (Literally no comics for THREE THOUSAND MILES, well maybe on the Big Island or over in Honolulu, but that might as well been in Russia as we.never boarded a plane to go to another island) So my Marvel childhood was through cartoons, and now.through movies. I am,however, a lifelong fan of all things 3.75" so the MU figures were a given once I discovered them.

[ukmu]

Also today we will see the conclusion to the Quasar-Dracula debacle. The body looks like Quasar but the hair screams Dracula. If it is the King Of Vampires then I am sure a Quasar will be in the works as the tooling is already there. So maybe, in time, we will have both.

Should see the finished figures displayed at Toy Fair in 60 days of them.

Also noted another female with dreaded yellow coloured joints....

Working on Gamora today. Excited for that. Will post w.i.p. pics as they happen.

I like that Swordsman Pilk, he is on my list too.

[Psycho Pirate]

Quasar!

[Autobot_Goldbug]

nice!
I'm sure Hasbro plans on modifying & repainting that into Dracula too.

I really like that Quasar, except for what's up with his long hair. Easy enough to remedy though. I still can't get over how fugly Rogue is.

[Ninjinister]

I might pass on Quasar. 99% of Marvel cosmic bores me. Actually 99% of DC cosmic outside of GL does too. I am very much not a space sci-fi guy.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

oh and we can cross another one off the old 2009 poll
http://goldbug.yolasite.com/marvelpoll.php

[UrsaMagnus]

Conversely, I am friggin' PSYCHED to finally be getting him!! Hell, I may actually buy two so that he can stand with both the Avengers and the Annihilators at the same time.

The head sculpt (from what we can see here) is older than I picture him in my head, but I agree in that I think he's going to be repainted into Dracula. Especially given how much his hair looks like it might be sculpted in a ponytail.

Regardless... WOOT!! QUASAR!!!

All of these girls plus Monica Rambeau/Captain Marvel II are on my want list. I stopped collecting the 3.75 guys, but I would come out of retirement for anything Hellcat.

Stop right there. We had Hellcat, Magik, Angela Del Toro and Snowbird on a list, and we picked MJ?! Slaps on the wrist to everyone who voted her!

[Foreddyn]

I voted for MJ. First, I'm a Spider-man fan. Second, I was wishfully thinking we could get a figure on a new civilian buck. Or at least a gorgeous face out of it. But then I couldn't find her when she was released. And she didn't turn out as pretty as I thought. FYI, I don't really care for that damn dog accessory.

[UrsaMagnus]

Seeing this image of these guys released, as well as official images of the 2016 Wave 1 characters, have we ever seen (outside of the slide show images) official promo images for the 2016 Wave 2 characters?
