I always thought it was a dumb concept...shoot her in the head or drop something on her. It should kill her and that ridiculous outfit !!! Smh

That is fantastic, actually.
Honestly I'm shocked we didn't get a few marvel now figures. She, medusa, she hulk and Scott lang were easy reprints

I don't think the book intends for itself to be taken very seriously, so I doubt the ridiculousness of the costume is lost on the creators. I believe it has a force field helmet of some kind though...

Very nice!

Looks like HTS started putting up some ASM2 figs. Here's Electro. Looks pretty lacking in the articulation department, but he does light up. #gimmicky

Guess that explains the head. Sounds like she needs a helmet.

There is one issue of FF where Darla tries to find what helmet would suit her. Quite funny, I will try to find the picture.

EDIT: Here it is:

[bmorr]

that art looks awful.

[trebleshot]

Well, I wouldn't say it's horrible, but it does look more like a comic strip than a comic book.

I still thought it was pretty funny. I loved all the references, too.

Okay, back from Tokyo!

First, I have been able to meet with my NY-based friend who delivered me the gift-pack with Carnage etc... from Spider-Man, as well as 10 Hydra soldiers who were on sale for 3$ each on Amazon!

Then I began to hunt some figs, but no luck... I found the Elektra-Rhino wave for 18$/p in a toy and electronics store, and began to get desperate...too bad I'm not much in Transformers anymore

Until I found this shop in Tokyo specialized in US Toys, with a christmas sale! They had the whole Rhino wave on sale for 9$, but also some older figs and the Cloak wave! Unfortunately, they only carried Abomination and Cloak, no Dagger or A-Bomb.

Fun thing is all the wave except Cloack and Abo was on sale. I bought Cloak full price since I didn't know if I'll meet him again...
I went then to Mandarake, a very famous otaku-merchandise based pawn shop, where everything is "used" or "second-hand". I use to go there for cheap Figuarts shopping (price can go down to 6$ a fig for a slightly damaged box).

There I found.... a Marvel Showdown Doc Ock!!! Since everyone here told about how a big deal was this line, I jumped on it even at 18$!
After that, I crossed the street for a new toys pawn shop to find some older and loose MU. Took Beast and Doc Samson for 5$ each. They also had some Mysterio wave, but nothing I didn't get yet.

The next day, I went to a big videogame shop to buy games for a friend, when, on the toy corner, I found this:

The full wave, with both Cloack AND Dagger, Abo AND A-Bomb, on the same shelf. I don't know how works the distribution outside of USA, but I think I was extra-lucky to find this kind of assortment. I only bought Dagger though since Abo and A-bomb are "ugly figures" and shall be on sale next time I go to Japan as was Rhino compared to last September.

I hope they'll get the Aurora wave next year as well!

Display update in order to fit the SHIELD team in my main MU section. BTW, for folks that asked, I got the headcasts from Glassman Customs, but you can pick them up from other casting sites as well. Just buy 'em and get your paint on! =)

dude that sucks...

[ukmu]

It does suck bro..... but I have come to terms with it and will just have to rebuild.

The 3 pack tru are expensive!!! I just used NICK FURY mail aways ($15 each from HTS) and had a VORTIOUS cast me some troop heads. I will use 10 more of those spread out over the next year, but i will be making customs instead.

Win win I guess..... still sucks though.
