im telling you the best bet is Wal-marts here in south florida. we have so many here, and in some cases you have more then one in each city. i can literally count 6 of them here in south broward that are all driving distance from me. i also have 2 around where i work in the north broward area.

Yes, I also really like the helmet for some weird reason. Wonder if she'll be Janet or Hope. I'm gonna assume Hope, as Scott is the current Ant-man in the show. Regarding Carol, wonder if this costume design is based on any upcoming MCU character designs.

I know of a comic shop near me that has him for 99. I thought it was crazy until I did my research. I'll have to take a closer look at him next time I'm in there.

FosterThor is also going to be in it, so Wasp could also be Nadia Pym, it would fit the kind of ANAD theme the season seems to have going.

thanks Tomax- he's pretty much a repainted Ultimate Warrior- comes in about 6.75in So a little shorter than Toybiz Colossus. A nice size for a larger characer like Warpath without being "Select Juggernaut" massive

Why would you want a ThunderBIRD, when you can have a ThunderHAWK?

WWE figure a can me great for customs...especially the Elites. I came close to picking up a heavily discounted Paige today that would have been a perfect and fairly easy stand in for X-23 with a little paint and some kitbashing.

My wife went out with a friend today... came back bearing awesome gifts for me!

Hooray for the 90's!

No, that's Thunderhawk, from SOTA's Street Fighter line.

My poor attempt at humor through play-on word association fails me...

Sorry Tomax...but Boy Blunder is right. That's Thunder Hawk from Street Fighter (more commonly known as T.Hawk) although many in the FGC I prefer to call him by his "real" name...Timothy.

I've seen people make great customs using T.Hawk there, but to hell with that. That's a ridiculously expensive canvas to use...

I've always liked that Thunderhawk. I think many of the SOTA SF figs are the best we'll see of the franchise, unless SOTA makes new versions.

God, but do I miss those figures. And I kick myself repeatedly for selling off so many of them (kept a handful, but I had damn near all of them post-Wave 1). The line did kinda lose steam when they went through that retooling that resulted in the new Ryu/Ken/Akuma/Dan figures, but it was still a better showing than any other Street Fighter line before or since.

Especially bummed that I sold off Gen - he's the perfect base for a Shen Xorn custom!

[TheBlueMarvel]

@BB

At least you owned them. I saw every one of them in Jim Hanley's Universe (where I bought nearly all of my TB legends). Looked at them. Admired them. Came very close to buying many. However, I never pulled the trigger on a single one because I opted for Marvel Legends every time. I still look at the Gen, T-Hawk, E Honda, Birdie, and Zangief and wish that I had at least nabbed those. The Storm Collectibles line is cool, but SOTA stil reigns supreme in translating that Udon look. Gen would go great with the KS wave of ninjas, kung-fu warriors, and samurais I'm waiting on....

Where did the shoulder pads come from on your Cable?? I have been wanting to do that also.

[Jerseysteel]

Those look like the pads from the toybiz version

yup- toybiz Cable. I added a few straps and buckles (and an X logo, grenades, bullets...) to make it look like it is strapped on instead of just sitting on his shoulders. To get the fit right i did cut part of the armor on Cable off as well as widening the neck hole on the pads- the whole thing is glued down to keep it from lifting. Just throwing that all out there because i spent a few days looking for the piece in my boxes of old toys and after finally finding it was disappointed that it doesnt just drop on and look amazing- there is some work that needs to be done to get it to look right. but it's very much worth the effort!

[Boy Blunder]

@TBM

True. It was during a period where my income was much higher than my expenses, so I could go all in on them.

One of these days I'll dog out what I have and take some pics.

You should do that. I'd like to see those figs again...

I would be willing to bet we will get a Vision for Infinity War next year. Unless they add a bunch of new heroes he is the only currently-appearing MCU hero who hasn't gotten one.

Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye all got them for the first movie or Age of Ultron (plus their own movies), War Machine got one for Age of Ultron (plus the Iron Patriot from Iron Man 3), Ant-Man got one for his movie and a BAF, Black Panther, Bucky, Falcon, Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man all got them for Civil War, and between the two movies, it looks like all of the Guardians have gotten them.

Vision is pretty much the odd man out.

[Nostalgic]

I got a couple new additions today. I had previously gotten the Heroic Age Iron Man, but was not happy with it at all. Some people on here suggested the Marvel Now Iron Man. I'm more of a fan of the standard red and gold, but this figure looks fantastic to me. The articulation isn't great, especially the ankle joints, but it will look great with my other Avengers.





I also grabbed the Jackal. I really don't have any great love for this character, even though I got into comics right in the middle of the Clone Sage, but this figure was too good to pass up. They really did a great job, I'm loving this purchase!



Also, if anyone is looking, I saw some of the X-Men wave at a local Walgreens, so it looks like they aren't just at Target anymore.

[Weapon X]

I was thinking about getting that Iron Man today. They had him loose at Comic Con for $10, but I decided I didn't need him. Oh well.
