I'd be fine if we ended up with a figure of her in the uniform, but not at the expense of her in a more Storm-like costume. In a boxed set of some sort with other X-Uniform characters, sure. But Storm in the classic blue-and-gold looks really out of place and out-of-character, and I can all but guarantee that people would be rightfully miffed if that got a single release over nearly any other costume she wore.

Personally, I'd love to see one of her outfits from the post-OZT, pre-'The Twelve' era, maybe with two heads (one with the short-cropped hair and long strands, one with the long hair and tiara)

Oh Don't get me wrong, I think that FA Storm and Jim Lee White Outfit storm should absolutely get first priorities. I remember the 90's pack of Forge/Stryfe/Storm/Gambit/Wolverine/Jubliee/Banshee all except Stryfe in that outfit. I'd love a pack like this, swap Stryfe for Psylocke of course.

Honestly I feel like they did well with Kitty in her classic yellow/blue outfit, but we need a standard male and female outfit of that, maybe with multiple heads. That way if someone wanted a cohesive team in that outfit that would work. Granted it would look off for some characters, and not all characters would work (Beast, Angel, Bishop, Storm in regards to form or skin tone) but it would be an interesting idea.

FWIW I absolutely loved Storms late 90's look in that second pic you posted. I wish she had stuck with that a bit longer. The Two-braid look was a bit off for me so I'm glad they changed it up quickly.

They brought miguel into modern times with pete then gave him a series then cancelled it due to some bs or another ( marvel seems intent on committing beniscide ) then gave him some whackass weird-looking suit redesign in a 2 nd series and now theyre cancelling it AGAIN!

Only Spider-Man 2099, since Miguel was in the present post-Secret Wars/ANADM.

Ugh... So I saw the DP/Cyclops set at the customer service counter at one of my TRU stores and I asked about it.
The girl was really sketchy and said it was on layaway.
No tags out anywhere, I was so pissed.
THEN, I called around today and ended up talking to someone at another store that told me that Austin 183 and South both had 4 in stock. Called them up. The 183 store (the one that had the layaway) told me that they knew what I was talking about because somebody had just bought 6 of them. She was trying to help me find the others that were supposed to be there but then someone else came back to the phone saying they thought I was talking about the guardians of the galaxy figures- then quickly ended the call.
They have a racket going.

THEN, today TRU online had the spiderman/Mary Jane set up for order so I bought it.
A few hours later I got a confirmation email, and then another confirmation an hour after that. Then just a few minutes ago I got the cancellation email.
F TRU.
Thats it. No more exclusives and no more scalper BS. $20 a figure is enough, you should not have to pay more than double the price just because some jackass' job is going to stores buying up all of the toys that are going to make them money.

If anyone has a lead on an extra set of the DP/Cyclops or The Spidey/MJ please help a brother out.

Thanks!

Cool thanks, and this is why I've stopped buying/reading comics...

Was just in TRU this morning & they had about a dozen of the Spider-Mary 2 pack. I'll swing in tomorrow to see if they are still there. I'll grab one for you, if so.

i feel ya man..
i was literally thinking about that this morning...
fucking scalpers...buying shit we want just to sell..
and if someone there is letting them purchase that many..i think they should have a safeguard in place. Scalpers suck big sweaty steenky rhino nuts.
that Spidey/MJ i have seen in MULTIPLE TRUs now...and i mean like 4-6 sets on the shelf.
if you really want one there is a store 5 min from me that has em..
PM me.

and their online is funky as well. I also have ordered something...to later have them tell me (after payment is made and days go by) its not in stock... you're like...WTF. So i never trust a sale from there until the item has BEEN DELIVERED!!!

[trowa195]

Thanks for the support everyone! I got the hook up on the spider MJ pack- much appreciated!

Now I REALLY want to get that phoenix. If anybody sees that please shoot me a PM if you don't mind.

[Boy Blunder]

Saw that the Wal-Mart Black Panther was back in stock while taking a break at the gym. Pulled it back up after I was done to place the order - sold out.

That was a span of maybe 30 minutes.

I feel your pain, Arker!...Some people have a great experience with TRU, but I have had a horrible experiences with the TRU store in my area, they suck!..Because, at the TRU stores in my area are hopeless and sad...Most of my best ML finds have been at Walgreens, Walmart, and Target, which is just a little bit better than the TRU, IMO!..If I really want the ML figure, I go on line and get it, or I preorder (Usually preorder have been coming before the release date of the figure in stores, sometimes weeks before!)..TRU online has been reliable to me, but I don't use it all the time...Once the figure is up on the TRU site, you have the pull the trigger fast, especially if popular, like ML..I purchased the MJ/SM 2 pack for TRU (For MJ, of course!)...I just didn't want to take a chance with the TRU stores in my area, plus miss out on this great ML MJ figure, can live with that hand combo, great figure regardless!..Or maybe Hasbro will make another female figure with interchangeable hands that match MJ's flesh tone...But, back to the subject of TRUs in some areas...Go through TRU online, better then dealing with slimy scalpers and sidious managers/employee environment in my area...Find Figure Folk...Say that three times fast!..LOL!

Yeah I missed it too. I saw where it was "available" and then now it's not.

[Hemanguy]

Just posting this here, I am just going to focus on four inch Joes and Star Wars, I have about 100 to 150 Marvel Legends (most mib) and fifty Black Serie Star Wars guys most mib. If anyone is interested shoot me a pm with what you are looking for. I will be taking some pics in the next few days and posting in the bst.

[Augustus_Cole]

what really sucks is...
look on ebay and see HOW MANY FUGGIN CYK AND DARK PHOENIXs are for sale.
which means all these stupid mofos do is buy them up to sell.
THAT shit is REALLLLLY annoying!!

i think i got this from Triv...
but the left hand swap for Polaris worked WONDERFULLY... and each looks better with the other's left hand.

EXACTLY! On Some of the auctions it shows they have 4 available. That shit is all sorts of wrong.
And I can't justify that mark up AND shipping. Then some jerks have the nerve to charge $20 shipping- you know damn well it doesn't cost $20 to ship that.

Blade can't come soon enough. I can't wait to finally get my hands on him...been waiting a long time..

Bullseye looks great...just noticed he's missing the tooth he THREW at DD's eyes. That's gangsta...

Jessica's likeness is spot on as well. I might have to get more that one of her, because I think that body will also do well with some civilian looks for other figures.

I still see Jennifer Garner under that mask, and not Elodie Yung. I just can't shake it.

You sure did! Lol



It's not a legend, but my SC Bipson arrived yesterday, and my god...a bit too big to fit in with Legends figures unfortunately, but man, what a great figure. So in honor of the demo for MvC being released this past week...it looks like Hydra is trying to form an alliance with the leader of Shadaloo and the four kings...



And with all the Homecoming love, thought I'd give some love to the forgotten villain in the film...hopefully they don't screw him up too badly...

[Weapon X]

Ick, looks like they are doing that faceprinting crap again.

Only better this time. Hopefully the finished products will look as good or better...

1. That Blade head in that picture looks pretty awesome close up. Still not sure what is up with that embrassment of the other head though. Why not just make him completely bald instead of adding some random streaks for hair? Or are those tattoos?

2. Polaris having a fist makes far more sense than MJ. I might do that.
