It really sucks that Brickseek was asked to remove inventory quantities as that was the only way to know when they actually put stuff out. I never cared that something was in stock I only cared when the inventory quantities changed because then you knew it was on the shelf and not in the back.

Yeah man thats why i passed on that single carded one cuz i have Zero interest in the Hulk BAF. I think the Two pack one is that new Face scaned and the other isn't I could be wrong. But yeah I noticed that Brickseek is useless now. It was a Gas and time saver.

Post a pic please? I've only seen it in-person once (back at SDCC) and I can't see the background piece clearly in any photos.

Wow cant believe I found the hydra 2 pack today and had to get 2 because of the sale! I hope the come out with a hand ninja 2 pack next, but I think if they probably will do aim soldiers again. Good luck hunting guys and gals!

ariellagunas · 10-13-2017, 01:25 PM

I finally found the bloody head!
Looks miles better than the MJ head, that's for sure.

Bo Ttef · 10-13-2017, 01:33 PM

Picked up the new BlackWidow on the classic card today at Walgreens- finally get to dump my custom on the Avengers shelf!

I don't know what you meant with this post but you're on to something...The image that TRU.com posted, shows the one on the right with a different vest. Most probably a prototype that got changed...

You can see in the pic that they just swapped the vest and the web gear in the package, between which the Hydra Agent is wearing, and which is in the bubble near the logo at the bottom.

True...I just wonder if there are any out there that made it to the stores like the prototype pic...it's just a MOC thing for me. I don't know what Kain meant with that post though.

VashTS · 10-13-2017, 03:10 PM

Still no luck on my end for Hydra in the east coast : (

I too like saving money.....hoping to get it Saturday

I didn't see the vest in the package on the initial pictures people posted at their stores, only the webgear, while I didn't see the webgear on the pictures from TRU's website. Therefore, I thought they got rid of the vest and replaced it with the webgear.

Oh I see. Thanks!

You beat me to it!

Vintage Widow:

Dark Phoenix Widow (passive head):

I definitely prefer the Jean head - although the hair could do with being a little more red. The head does sit noticeably a bit higher on the neck too. From some angles, espeically if she's looking up, it can look a bit wrong.

I'm wondering if the now redundant MJ/Widow hair might do for Tabby... maybe save me tracking down another Hope. I'm failing to convince myself so far.

Edit: Actually, that final shot looks all sorts of broken neck wrong... I'll have to pose her carefully.

Archangel · 10-13-2017, 05:28 PM

I'm guessing it will be a couple weeks before they hit the east coast and finally roll down south.

Ended up putting 4 of the packs on layaway. And yes the bogo 40% off works if you are putting them on layaway.

Found the vintage Widow at the first Walgreens I checked, nothing at the other 6 I hit looking for Punisher.

I think I'm going to start collecting that DBZ set. They look pretty awesome.

Boy Blunder · 10-13-2017, 05:35 PM

I wonder if the Winter Soldier MCU Widow heads can fit on the nostalgia Widow body...

Tomax · 10-13-2017, 05:37 PM

FLAME ON!

MeLikeJinx · 10-13-2017, 08:44 PM

^ Cool. Kinda reminds me of Ken's super uppercut though.

Am I the only one that wishes the Target movie Thor was also bare chested? Thor looked so ripped in the trailer, plus it would help differentiate him even more from the single pack release.

Parademon1 · 10-13-2017, 08:51 PM

That translucent orange head totally messes up that figure for me. Gonna have to do a paint job on it to match the body. Funny, the excuses some people are making up to justify that head.

You mean, how it matches the color shifts across his body that match up with his gloves, boots, and belt, to represent his bare skin?

Dr Kain · 10-13-2017, 10:16 PM

I think the issue with Torch's head is that they should have had tthe colors transition on the neck. I have no issue with the head, but I think it would have benefitted from that.

Question though, what era is the vintage card Iron Man armor from?

Late 80s, after Tony wore the Silver Centurion Armor.
