That to me looks so much better than those red pegs which stood out against the blue and I don't miss the red stripes. Glad I passed on the individual one now. Vulture though is the reason I got this set. Great green colors (both of 'em) and very impressive wings. While technically his ultimate suit they have done small touch-ups to the head which make it more like regular Adrian (plus the back of the box calls him Adrian), mainly his eyebrows are actually done in a dark grey and not just black which looks rather nice. The base body used here seems to be funnily enough a Spider-Man body since it sports the same legs as some Spideys have and it has butterfly shoulders like they have. The head swaps easily enough and the helmet head, while not a classic part of his look, does actually look a lot cooler than I had anticipated. Finally I had some fun and set up a small battle in which Spidey underestimates what the suit's strength can do.

Nice pics and review, Arker! Hope to find this set soon, after I find a Cyclops and Colossus for the X-Men wave, Ha!

Hey all. I remember someone saying there is a site(other than Ebay) where you can by BAF's without having to purchase an entire wave. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. I've come to the decision that collecting every single figure is not going to work for me anymore. Too many characters I have zero interest in. Once again, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I've seen a non-English review and it appears that the front and back symbols have been fixed.

You can buy BAFs or parts from Dorkside Toys.

It looks like the Civil War figure took a lot of inspiration from that Spidey or vice versa even if parts are not shared.

I just refreshed the Amazon Page for Moon Knight and it's been removed...

EDIT: Same with the Homemade Suit Spidey...

EDIT EDIT: It appears entire wave has been pulled.

That's understandable. When Hasbro started working on the Civil War Spiderman, they didn't have any shots of Tom Holland in the suit. All they had was the concept art paintings/drawings which is why the symbol on the front of the suit is wrong. Without any shots of Holland, they had to apply the concept art to a generic teenage male body, which is what the base body of the Ultimate Spiderman figure is supposed to be.

Good thing I at least got to get Tombstone in

Thanks SO much to Spyne98 for hooking me up with a Banshee head so I could finally add one of my favorite villains to my ML universe...Arcade.

That makes sense and would explain a lot.

Nice pics, so popping!

One of the all time greats in ML...In my opinion,this figure is just amazing in every way, and looks so amazing next to the modern ML...Was on my grail list, but last year I got him,had too, folks, and I must tell you he is worth every penny, Arkers!

And, Arkers...From my experience in my area, most of the retail employees don't know or don't care or scalp ML and sell them on eBay!..I just take my chances out there in the jungle...If I hunt, I go to one location one day, and maybe a couple of days later, spaz out and pick different locations to go to or the same locations that I'm a familiar with...Currently, on the hunt for Cyclops and Colussus, Ha!..Hope I don't have to cave in to eBay or Amazon for these figures in the X-Men wave...But, even though the concrete jungle is wild, I still remain optimistic, and still go out there looking for something to bring back home!...Good luck, Arkers!

Word. I think you are spot on about employees. And I think your hunt strategy is good.

From what I hear, Florida is having it pretty rough with the X-Men Wave. You should ask Tomax about where he lives, he's in Florida too and was able to find some of the wave recently.

Good looking, Arker! Much appreciated!

Some marvel robot love. Finished my custom Ultron and Silvermane.

They could do something similar for Marvel Legends. It would be even easier with a regular wheel chair since it's smaller than the hover chair.

They could always do a Build-A-Wheelchair...

Competing with employees is rough. A manager at my local Walmart buys Lego sets for the sole purpose of reselling them for a lot of money after the sets have been out of production for a few years. The guy even marks the sets down on clearance so that he doesn't have to pay as much.

Build-A-Wheelchair + Cerebro terminal. Like in the movies.

If it's the chair AND the terminal, I think that would be really cool. If it was just the chair, I think that would be pretty lame, moreso than the Vulture Wings.

Yeah, a normal wheelchair could easily fit into one package if it was broken down to the seat, chairback, and wheels. What I'm thinking is have each figure in the wave come with a piece of the chair AND a piece of Cerebro. Lure fans into completing both.
