Yea, that Loki figure is by far my least favorite with the unworthy Thor a close second. If I didn't want the Hulk so bad I would have skipped them

I think the colors are correct. He looks like he dons a blue outfit at some point in the film but changes to green later.

@ Loki and Hulk..
there will probably be some remark or something between them referencing that thrashing hulk gave him in Avengers.

I stopped by a couple of TRUs today and saw the Ego/Star Lord 2 pack.

I will definitely be curious to see how that turns out!

Every time I look at it, I hear Loki telling Sif how he enjoyed Thor's liver over some faarva beans and a Chianti...

Hahaha that's great! I have passed on Loki twice due to just how bad the face sculpt/paint has been. It barely resembles Hiddleston.

Heh...

There's definitely a part of the sculpt that is without a doubt Hiddleston, but I think their accommodation of the removable headpiece ultimately marred the end result. From the pics that I've viewed, it's caused an over-enlarged forehead and given his facial features a squished appearance. I think in this instance it would have been more beneficial to include two different heads.

Well I got her head, and the torso and legs coming. I need her arms. Can anyone hook me up?

There better be.

I put the 2-Pack Star-Lord up front, because it is the most film accurate.

I know I keep saying this, but what a year for MCU Marvel Legend collectors.

A little flashback to show how far we've come, though I can't find my X2 Magneto...

Got my 12" Hulk in the mail today. He's pretty awesome. They screaming head isn't so bad in person but it needs to be posed at the right angles to look good.


The alternate, calmer head is definitely my favorite of the two.

Ares is really very cool. The old BAF was before my time, so this was a nice addition to the Thor wave. Can we get a new Hercules too?



I really wanted to love this figure. I just don't. The cape doesn't stay put, nor does the skirt or the ankle/boot things. Her shoulder joints are really stiff. the paint on her midriff doesn't even come close to matching her skin tone and the thigh swivel doesn't line up quite right

The neck surrounding the peg also isn't painted flesh like it should be on a large number of them.

Are Black Knight and Valinor or Aragorn candidates for the new Riders line?

Mine has atrocious ankles. I can't get her to stand without kick standing her with the cape. I might just keep the BAF, and Mjolnir. It's one of the worst figures I've ever purchased.

He doesn't have a ball joint head does he? Mine just seems to be able to go left to right.

It's a ball peg, no disk hinge though and it doesn't have a huge range of movement, I might dremel out the inside of the head and see if that helps some

The new Riders line was only going to consist of Ghost Rider and Widow at the mmoment from what I understood. They haven't announced plans for any additions to those two, (nor have there been any leaks I know of) so unless Hasbro has something up their sleeve for Hascon, I think that these will be the only riders we will be getting.

He should have a ball peg head with no joint, identical to the original BAF. Only the paint apps and lower legs are different from the original figure.

The original BAF had the same issues with his head as well.

According to the panel the Riders are set to be wave with everything being about the same size as the figures with the bikes. They also said during the panel that they would be revealing things at cons in Canada, Mexico and London as well as Hascon and NYCC, so 5 events before TFI, I'd say we'll be seeing more. Besides I didn't specify whether or not Black Knight and his mount should be in the first wave, just whether or not they should count for that line

I'd be very excited by this prospect. I would do a backflip (it'd be the first one ever in my life) if Warstar: B'nee and C'cil were made...

Especially if said steed had leg, tail, and head articulation.


Not some Barbie crap.

Maybe we could get Black Panther's flying motorcycle.
