(I was tempted to include Mantis but she did get a figure recently, even if it was the movie version.)

A few of those are pretty surprising to me. I would've thought we'd get someone as prominent as Crystal by now. And Eric Masterson could easily be done as nothing more than an alternate head for a new classic Thor.

I would love Jocasta, the Two-Gun Kid, the original Guardians, The Shroud, Stingray and Marrina. And of course comic Mantis. The look for Lionhearted/Captain Britain III was very cool too.

All of the other past Iron-Man figures have had major issues IMO. This is the first one where I feel like it doesn't have any crippling flaws. I dug the Civil War Iron-Man, but the hips are pretty bad. The AoU Iron-Man was also decent, but I felt like it was a bit small.

I wish we could get a classic Iron-Man as good as this one.

Screw classic....we need a new silver centurion armor.

Amazon came through...IMO, these 4 figures are great looking, really feeling that Iron Man...

Love the pics, especially you mod on Black Widow.

Thanks Tomax!

Well I'm a big camera snob so... LOLz.. No...I actually alternate between my old Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone and my new Samsung Galaxy 8+... Samsungs take great pictures, but I've always found it's less about the camera and more about choosing the best angle and framing- (unless you want those super HD or fast shots- those are about the camera

) -and just getting the most bang out of a single picture. I like to add a little bit of blue filter to cool the look a bit and will almost always add vignette- which can be great for hiding bad background edges.

this x1000! and built around the larger modern IM figures- not the tiny one like they re-released recently on the vintage cards.

ohh damn, i thought you had a real camera, maybe even a DSLR type. my camera is a cell camera and it is really terrible. i gotta take like 10 shots per picture just to get a descent one lol i do my best thou with what i got. filters help with bad cameras lol, im shopping around for a real camera thou. and when i finally get one, look out! lol

I've got a pretty decent Nikon that I use for non-toy stuff, but I really like the convenience of shoot and post that I get from a phone.

I think the Killmonger figure might actually be better than the Black Panther in the same wave.

MeLikeJinx · 01-04-2018, 07:48 PM

^ His mask kinda reminds me of Bane's mask from the Dark Knight movie... at least it does in the pic below IMO...

I can see several of these figures getting scalped early on. I'm definitely pre-ordering this whole wave, I just need to figure out who's going to get it out the quickest. I'm still waiting on an item I pre-ordered from BBTS.

I need that X-23 and Deadpool to finish up my X-Force team. It would be nice to find a good X-Force Warpath soon. He's in dire need of a re-do though.

I hope the Hascon DP does get re-released in it's original HasCon paint scheme! Some of the paint variations on re-releases sometimes do or do not come out as well as originals.

....and it would be nice to keep most of his accessories. Two katanas aren’t going to cut it.
