^ I still got your furys on reserve ukmu. PM sent.
I saw the AI yellowjacket, Steve Rogers, and wasp at target last night when I picked up the GOTG blu ray. That's the first time I saw the remnants of wave 2. I ordered this wave from BBTS and got them like 6 months ago. Hasbro is really behind, I hope they take this line off of the red headed step child back burner soon. It's even worse when I see them pumping out those masher things.

I think that Hawkeye would make a good Movie or modern Inspired Trickshot to go with my Dark Avengers

Its the exact same one that came out in the movie line, the paint job is different but its the same figure with a blond comic book style head. If ya want a real good marvel now ! version , pic this one up then grab a marvel universe sniper bow Hawkeye from target, the run like $3-$4 bucks cause the are 5poa's look it up on eBay to see what Im talking about and pop that head on :-) perfect Hawkeye cause the face is thinner

I suppose to fix these we just need better forearms.

Finally found Big Hero 6 figures!

Actually Hank's arms in general look way too tiny for his body.

I have the showdown version. Hasbro's doesn't impress me at all.

[kylactus]

I think the tiny Baest arms might be an optical illusion caused by the fact that the photos are all on even plain and the arms are bent outward from the body (either towards or away from the camera) causing a slight aspect ratio shrinkage effect. They may have had to position the arms for weight to pose him in a standing position. that aside, the lack of articulation is going to be a tough hurdle for me to get over, plus can anyone make a blue beast that doesn't look like he's singing an 80's power ballad? my only other issue so far is Bishop... I love the character, and have wanted a good bishop forever, but this one seems off to me I've been looking at him for a wile trying to pin point my specific issues (aside from the new articulation) and I really cant put my finger on it... all I can really come up with is "too smooth".

You might be right. AoA Beast's arms don't look as bad.

I don't mind the beasts, sandmen, or bishops, but that big time spidey head just looks off. What are these pics from?

I have that 5poa Hawkeye. He kind of just stands in the background of my Dark Avengers because of his lack of anything. I just thought because Dark Hawkeye wheres more or less the same as his Brother, a repaint and New head would do the trick perfectly to fit in with my Movieish Hawkeye.
The 5poa head is a good one though; I might have to do that swap

They are from China. Apparently they have them already over there.

[redfox]

Hmph, I wanna see Black Cat!

Spidey aside, the new figures aren't too bad.

[samsson37]

Even 1980's GI Joes had swivel arm kung-fu grip smh
Jim Lee Beast not bad..but needs a closed mouth alternate head
1960-70's Grey Beast is pretty cool also
Bishop looks like skinny arm Rob Lowe..don't like at all,and I agree he looks like a super model
Love the Sandman's wish came with switch hands and since he's on a old mold does he have swivel arms?
I also want Black Cat..her I can handle no swivel

They all do have swivel elbows or at least it looks like they do.

They seem to.
The two different beasts for example show it rather blatantly. As do previous pictures of the figures compared to these. So really all they are missing is the upper thigh cut and some are missing the torso articulation.

[samsson37]

You guys might be right,....I hope so. I dont mind not having thigh cuts, and on some figures waist movement. But I need the kung-fu grip !!!

[ThorOdinson]

Thor and the Bumble

[Captain Nash]

Those pictures of the new wave.

I NEED my Bishop fix to be fixed soon.....

[redfox]

And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes and heroines found themselves powerless against a threat unlike any other. To face this threat it will take a special team. A team of individuals that have intimately experienced the pain of loss and must make the hard decisions that others dare not. Welcome to Widow-Verse.

[kylactus]

love the Widow army, but who's that second from the right? I'm guessing "Black widower". Is anyone else stoked about the latest Sony Pictures leak? evidently there planning to return control of the Spiderman license to Marvel for a Re-boot! now if Hasbro would get back into the movie figure game we'll be in business.

I honestly hope that if Disney/Marvel studios gets Spider-man back they won't do another origin reboot. I understand the necessity to reestablish the character within their cinematic universe, but another telling of his origin would be redundant. I feel like they'd be better putting him in an Avengers movie and just at some point in the movie flashback or something. Anyone who's going to see a Marvel movie is most likely already familiar with the guy's tale, why waste a movie slot on it.

[kylactus]

I think Marvel studios has been a lot better at the "quick" explanation, then on to a damn good movie. as apposed to Fox or Sony that seem to waste the whole first movie of any series establishing a back story. Think back to Iron Man, Cap, and Thor. the story is pretty much established within the first 20 minutes. and The Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton just picks up (wile still ignoring it's predecessor) without insulting the audience with a lengthy explanation of who the Hulk is.

On a side note, has anyone here ever known anyone who walked into a movie with anything like "Hulk" "Superman" "Batman" or "Spiderman" in the title saying, "gee I wonder what this is about?" or "I've never heard of this cultural Icon that has been in the common vernacular of the English language since before my parents were born", or "I need an in-depth 90 minute explanation as to how this individual acquired super powers before we go any further."

Im really tempted to make a custom Silk, but im not sure what costume I want to do.
Regular costume is good but I really liked the first web "costume".

It's tentative and only an idea that was being discussed.

There's a lot of factors that come into play about this. Like Sinister 6 doing poorly, as well as the other parts of the franchise they are building now also not doing well. Though honestly Venom and Sinister 6 are the big pins now, and maybe amazing spider-man 3. So if Marvel did manage to get the rights back, this may not happen until the Phase 4 movies in a post infinity war world.

It's been a strong possibility for awhile though. Sony has shown willingness to work with Marvel to a degree. That's how Marvel got the spider-man animation rights back when Disney bought Marvel. Oscorp itself was almost in the first Avengers movie too.

Also, if Marvel got Spider-man back for the MCU, we might see Miles Morales instead of Parker at all. There's a lot of possibilities all over the board on where any of it can go.

With every Sony e-mail leak, you have to keep in mind these are mostly only random ideas and bits of info being tossed around. Nothing is ever set in stone until it's signed and sealed. Even then, changes can happen all the way until the film hits theaters with last minute edits and re-shoots.

Movie wise I don't really care, however if we can get Jessica Drew in AOS or a Netflix series without some legal battle it would be worth it for that alone.
Oscorp and other Spiderman stuff being spread around the movies, Netflix, AOS,etc is icing.
