Maybe this Star-Lord, if it's true, will be the one you want. I for one hope this is Space-Bikini Gamora, so folks will stop complainin!

A Starlord and Gamora comic pack would be an instant buy for me unless they were both wearing the Mass Effect armor, I think Starlord wore that suit for even less time than Gamora did and it was still pitifully short. If it's not his classic look then maybe it'd be the current/recent comic look which is heavily based on the movie so then it could double for some people's movie figure collections too.

I would love the heck out of a Classic Star-Lord and Classic Gamora set.

The GOTG might be great but they may be instant pass. It the Rocket and Groot are repacks of what's already been done, that's an insta-pass no second thoughts. An articulated Rocket and normal sized Groot though? Yeah, I'd get that in a heartbeat. I do already have a Star Lord (the only single figure I got from that wave) but even so, if the Gamora is a classic or heck even movie Gamora I would get it. If it's a star lord we've seen already or a classic Starlord and anoother Space Armor Gamora, I'd pass.

Agreed, my thoughts exactly heck there's the GOTG pack and then they re did the exact same ones in the Infinite line which was utter disappointment. So hopefully these are new ones of them and yes the bikini Gamora :P If anything they can use the Shanna buck for it haha.

Was going through the offerings of the Instagram magnifying glass and found what is(supposedly)a size comparison between the upcoming 6 inch Marvel Legends Black Panther and the Giant Man BAF. He's okay for Legends, I guess. Better for Universe.

Yeah that should look really sweet next to 3.75 MCU Avengers.

A part of me hopes these are based off of the animated series, because the costumes are the virtually the same as the MCU versions. I don't see getting official MCU versions until Guardians 2, and even that appears to be a slim chance.

Universe · 03-01-2016, 10:31 PM

I'm back! Just wanted to say hello from a hiatus and finished my move today. I can't wait to set up my new toy room and start taking pictures again. I have soooo much more space to play with; old toy room was like a closet compared to now.

That Giant Man is a really nice size and I will defintely try to get it off eBay to avoid buying the Legends(6") wave to build it. I want an Onslaught BAF too, but in no hurry, holding back until the official head is released.

Those GOTG 2 packs; hoping for decent figures (articualtion-wise); my guess is it might just be reissues of the same figs we already have based on Hasbro's history (see Antman), but would that be crushing to see a third reissue of the same again(Antman

).

Toss on a wolverine head and daredevil will double as my demolition man:

I need that gamorra and if the bodies good enough like 4 body's of hers.

Mind if I ask who you're thinking of making if you're thinking of customizing? Trying to get some ideas with that mold and if someone is not opposed to me utilizing their ideas I'm welcome to suggestions.

Maybe it can be reworked for Rescue?

Possibly. One thing in its favor is it's mostly white, that's always a good base to start repaints off on.

I don't usually care about that anymore, I tend to start with a white base coat anyway.

CCC.

LordMudd · 03-02-2016, 09:51 AM

So I decided I needed Hyperion's arms and legs on Rage's head and body to make Redstone, so I went to TRU this morning because they have that wave on clearance at $7.99. They had 1 left and the bubble was hanging by the bottom edge of the card, so I ask I they were going to charge me the full $7.99. They took off 10% which from the way they talked is the standard discount for damaged packaging. Good to know.

CCC.

Problem is D-Man is bigger, about Rage size.

She is my favorite of the wave for that reason.

Rescue is definitely number 1 on my custom list.
I'd also use that body for lots of non-Marvel figures and space background characters.

Granted. But this will be good enough. I don't really care about D-Man that much to go all-out for him, so this will be perfectly fine.

Well he didn't look very big as scourge. I'll just pretend he lost weight before he was brainwashed... Plus he lived in the sewer and had to bum food from Jarvis.

Agreed, d man is a d lister

Saw the comic packs at TRU the other day.

Was really tempted to pick them up, but they were sold out of the thor one, so I decided to wait for now.

Excited for Gamora coming up too! Feels great to finally start rounding out the GOTG more again, and getting All-New Avengers started too with new Thor and Sam Wilson Cap.

Now if only they'd make all-new Wolverine already and the other all-new x-men.

That leaked Walmart list did have the X-23 wolverine on it... I hope we get that too.

Ninjinister · 03-02-2016, 03:55 PM

Is it exactly the same as the old 1st appearance Daredevil?
