I've thought about getting an iPhone since I have a MacBook but I've never liked any of the pictures I've seen people take with them. I've also tried taking pics with my iPad but the picture quality was a step down compared to my Galaxy S5.

Part of me would like to get a professional camera with a tripod one day since I would really like to do my own toy reviews someday. But I still haven't decided if I would want to do video reviews or written reviews with pictures.

Do written reviews with photos. I much prefer a couple paragraphs and some nice turnaround shots of the toy than having to watch a blurry video where the guy mumbles half the time, covers up the toy with his hands while trying to show off the joints and constantly goes "Ummm, errrr, ahhhh" to the camera

I switched to Apple about 3 or 4 years ago and have been really happy with it. I was sick of the Microsoft OS blue screening after only a few years of use. However, it was disappointing to hear how Apple is trying to force people to use Bluetooth peripherals by not including audio jacks and USB ports in newer devices.

Hasbro is notorious for creating patterns in their release of product. Not a lot of data to go on, but here's a possible pattern for future releases in the line: 3 Retail Figures, 1 SDCC Exclusive, 2 Store Exclusive Re-paints. Pure conjecture at this point, but I enjoy trying to solve puzzles. Even meaningless ones like this...

2016: Captain America [New]
2016: Iron Man [New]
2016: Spider-Man [New]

2017: Deadpool [New]
2017: Thor [New]
2017: Hulk [New]
2017: Daredevil [New](SDCC Exclusive)
2017: Symbiote Spider-man [Re-paint](Store Exclusive)
2017: Weapon X Deadpool [Re-paint](Store Exclusive)

2018: Black Panther [New]
2018: Wolverine [New]
2018: ???? [New]
2018: ???? [New](SDCC Exclusive)
2018: ???? [Re-paint](Store Exclusive)
2018: ???? [Re-paint](Store Exclusive)

Black Panther and Wolverine actually came out in 2017 since they could be purchased and shipped from Gamestop and Dorksidetoys before Christmas. Entertainment Earth also BP in stock in early/mid December.

As for the store exclusives, one of them is supposed to be a X-Force Deadpool for TRU. I think they showed him off at SDCC last year. The other repaint could be Grey Hulk or Wolverine in his brown costume. Or his X-Force costume so that he could go alongside Deadpool.

I could see them doing an Ultimate Cap too, but they'd have to retool a lotta pieces (though they could probably reuse the legs and boots haha)

Archangel · 01-20-2018, 08:57 PM

I feel like Punisher has to be one of them with Daredevil being released last year. Star-Lord would probably be another shoe-in. War machine as a repaint, and Ultimate Spider-Man (Miles Morales)?

VashTS · 01-20-2018, 09:52 PM

I think A-Listers with movie Tie IN potential.

Venom and Carnage are two of my educated guesses.

I can also see a Comic/Movie Winter Soldier and movie/comic Dr. Strange.

Punisher seems to be a shoe in.

I can also see a Johnny Storm soon and Some Iron Man/Wolverine repaints.

Salvofox85 · 01-21-2018, 05:47 AM

we need Ghostrider. as for villians? green goblin, doc ock. maybe redskull. i'm hoping for punisher though, and hopefully this line will continue to the point we do get conan the barbarian since he is returning to marvel comics!

Need? I do not think Hasbro care about need.

If they do a Ghost Rider, they will charge easily $100 if they include a bike.

Doc Ock, doubt they would invest in the tentacles....we shall see if they make it for their upcoming Sentinel.

Punisher is a guarantee imo.

Conan, doubtful.Not sure where all this Conan love is coming from.

THey will ONLY really do A-Listers/movie tie ins.

I think Venom is the guarantee as a villain. I would love to see a Red Skull.

I think they will do a Johnny Storm. Hasbro seems to want to do the old Toy Biz, rather re-do the old stuff they have done first including their 12" Johnny Storm.

I am guessing a Winter Soldier from the MCU and some Iron Man repaints. It's Hasbro, how could they NOT do Iron Man Repaints?

Augustus_Cole · 01-21-2018, 01:06 PM

i def feel like wolvie is too big.

Despite being released a few weeks early by select online stores, I feel Hasbro still considers them to be 2018 product. Most mass retail stores are only now just getting them and putting them on shelves.

I was wondering about that figure. It was initially revealed at SDCC, but then radio silence on it since.

Augustus_Cole · 01-27-2018, 01:26 PM

Cali sighting so they say....

It is about time! I habe been waiting forever for this. Now four more months for it to decrease in price and it will be mine lol

Augustus_Cole · 01-27-2018, 02:14 PM

initially i did not want this...but i'm a sucker for figures so...
hopefully it will decrease in price faster than my inability to exercise logic and patience will

Bearjew · 01-27-2018, 02:53 PM

Deadpool was the first one I got. I am not even a huge Deadpool fan but I love this figure. Sits on my desk at work and has so many possible options with accessories. I am going to have to get this release.

Archangel · 01-28-2018, 06:33 AM

Dammit, going to have to start hunting TRU’s again.

TyranasauROSS · 02-01-2018, 02:03 PM

Deadpool does look pretty cool. His guns definitely look better without being colored like nerf toys on the standard release.

Picked a Thor recently and he just reinforced my opinion that this line is really great. Curious to see what other characters we may get in the future.

DarthKamen · 02-01-2018, 02:07 PM

I would love to own Symbiote Spider Man, he looks great.

TyranasauROSS · 02-02-2018, 09:06 AM

Do you have any Target stores around you DathKamen? They still seem to be in stock at a few locations that I have seen.

TyranasauROSS · 02-08-2018, 09:38 PM

Picked up Wolverine via HasbroToyShop. Heated and reshaped his mask fins a bit. But they seem to like to return to default after a bit. Will work on them more. But happy with how they look compared they came originally. Really happy with him overall.

I do....I'm just not sure I want to pay $60 for him

If I find him for $30 or under though.....

LordMarvel · 02-09-2018, 01:08 AM
