Literally zero people who that applies to that I've met have corroborated that.

We just had midget wrestling here a few momnths ago. Yes all the wrestlers were little people but the term midget was in use so I think the term midget wrestler is OK. I'll post a pic of their flyer if I can find it.

Hopefully we don't get a huge gap between waves 2 and 3. Never thought I'd actually like some of the figures with less articulation, but with how Hasbro is adding a bit more visual appeal to them, I just can't help it.

Okay guys let's take it off the topic of what to acceptably call people and bring more focus back to toys.

I kinda want that TRU Black Panther but I really don't care about the Sharon Carter figure, maybe it'll go on sale at some point but if not then I can live without it. I'm a little bummed in Marvel's supposed decision to not have an Inhumans movie anymore since that was something I was looking forward to and had even hoped that it would stir enough interest in the Inhumans for Hasbro to put more of them in this line. Hopefully that Lockjaw they teased will still come out and maybe in a comic pack with Crystal so I can at least add my most wanted Inhumans to my team.

No not officially but they have supposedly removed it from its previously set 2019 release date which could be a simple rescheduling action or at worst it could be them silently killing the project before it really begins. Just when being an Inhumans fan suddenly started to pay off in conversations with my friends

Agreed, especially with bringing back the card art.

Ah ok, so technically you could appeal it with ebay showing it not delivered then?

Thumbs up for two of the three. I think they look good for what they are.


Except Gamora. That figure is still "teh suck"!

Hope you don't mind my asking, but why is $10 the dividing line? I don't understand what makes them too pricey when the cost of everything is going up. If it's a budget reason, ok, I can get behind that, but why the arbitrary price point otherwise?

As a caveat, I'm not a "toy collector" so my mentality is totally different. I only buy MU figures and that's mainly as a creative outlet as I tend to create something new out of all of them, so the price, to me, doesn't really matter as long as I can see potential in the figure. So yeah, I'll keep buying them regardless if they serve a customizing purpose. Even if it's just for a head ala the new Rage & Vision.

I really hope you're a loose collector. If so, please take loose shots ASAP! Especially, Gamora! Need me some Gamora, please!

I'm not overly fond of her either but I'm sure I can find some use for her. Worth it for that Panthers though.

Eh, the way I see it, it's good to have that character on hand. Admitably, I do stop motion animations, so my perspective is slightly different, but still.


Also, am I the only one who could give less than a crap about the Inhumans? I've tried to get into them, but I can only find a few that I truly like.

$10.00 is a good mark to use when comparing prices online, really. Whilst I'm all for this scale, I will only pay the complete price if it's a character that I truly like. Otherwise, I wait and see if Amazon gets it in cheap(if I want to pay for it at ALL, anyway).

Do you have any completed projects? I'd love to see them!

Not with action figures, no, and my Lego stuff from 2013-early 2014 is kinda cringey. I've about got Doctor Who/Marvel finished, though, and I think that crossover is pretty good so far.

Ok. I need a volunteer to see if the head from this guy: Rebelscum.com: Photo Archive fits on a hornswaggle body. I've been saving that head either for kingpin or a Brian Bendis figure.

Seriously though, a boot swap and suit jacket hands are easily done---if the head works on that body

Morbius, rogue, masked Carol Danvers, new hyperions, and captain mar-vell are starting to pop up on China bay.

Agreed. I think they just haven't been making much of the new figures either in comparison to the peg warming champion 6" legends.

Throw me in the same boat MUfan. I mean sure I'll watch an inhumans movie but I'd rather a lot of other Marvel characters get the MCU treatment first. No "band wagon" inhuman fans here lol

"Band wagon" fans can be just the worst. It was pretty bad with Guardians of the Galaxy because the amount of newcomers who were only familiar with the movie encouraged Marvel to shift comic Star-Lord into that more roguish character zone in contrast to a guy who displayed himself as light and jokey but was ultimately very serious about saving lives. With the current Inhumans scenario I've got friends who only know of them through the show and it's kinda frustrating since there are at least plans for a movie eventually but said friends are like "so is Daisy the leader of all Inhumans?" and I'm like "no that would Black-Bolt, the guy who lived on the moon and comes from a line of British-style inbreeding with a voice that can wreck planets." Nah that totally doesn't sound ridiculous.
