@Trivial, what’d you make the bag out of?

The special effects pieces are great but I find it weird how they don't exactly match, what I mean is that one has an obvious octopus tentacle while the other has spiders and what is either a snake tail or some other scaled tentacle. His skull head under the dome clearly has an octopus tentacle winding through it so at least two out of three directly match. I'm glad I got a white skull version, while I never had any beef with the green skull the white one is definitely closer to a true classic Mysterio presentation. The skull reacts vibrantly to a blacklight even under the dome but my phone was not focusing very well to get a great picture.

Now that i look at your pic and think about it. The skull was for illusions, and to trick people.

Well i guess i have a new fondness for the skull head. I also prefer white skull over the green one !

TRU just told me there will be a delay in receiving my order. I guess I won’t see that product anytime soon.

Hellmart got their new spider-man shipment in. The entire Sandman wave in all its glory.

kylactus · 03-19-2018, 07:52 AM

Ours just got two cases of the vulture wave, the same one they just finished getting rid of on clearance for 8$.. now the restock at 20!

I used regular brown shipping/wrapping paper. I then wrapped it over a small school eraser, cut it down to scale, and poked the eye holes in with a pen.

The thwip hand is from the Venompool figure, and plugs in perfectly with no alterations. You can also fit the symbiote Spidey hands as well if you would prefer that route.

It just blows me away when you go to a walmart, target or worst case TRU and oh they're stocked up alright. Stocked up with a wave that came out a year or so ago and absolutely nobody wants it....

I'm not sure the regional office has a clue (figuring that Nashville and the rest of middle TN have the same regional districts)

One of my local Walmarts also had a couple fresh cases of the Homecoming wave on the shelf, and I'm in Massachusetts. (My other Walmart close-by stopped carrying Marvel Legends last summer)

got Thanos today in the mail ! shame i had to have him sent from another to me here in south florida. they just aren't available around my way.

redfox · 03-19-2018, 04:38 PM

Jessica Drew now has one of my newest favorite Marvel Legends head-sculpts. Referencing Mockingbird & Spider-woman, it's really odd how Hasbro hides some of the most gorgeous sculpts behind little obscure plastic glasses.

@redfox that Spider-Woman is a great figure. I will likely get her within the year, when the prices go down on the wave. No, strike that I will definitely get her when the prices go down. I almost pulled the trigger today on amazon's site at $19.99 but decided I needed to wait.

Ken - that photos gives me the feels man. I am hoping eventually we get a Hasbro 90's Storm, I know she would look awesome.

Dr Kain · 03-19-2018, 07:10 PM

And the bad luck trend continues.

Brickseek told me my Walmart finally got in another case. So I go there, there's a price tag on the shelf, but no figures. I ask the employee who was working there about him and she spends 15 minutes trying to find him without luck. The head of the toy dept returns from his lunch break, so she asks him, and he says, "Oh, a guy came in wanting to buy the entire case before I even got them onto the shelf." AGAIN?!!!!!!!!

Oh, it doesn't just end there. Dorkside emailed me back about my Spider-Man wave question. Despite the fact that I preordered it on Feb 2nd and have already paid for the wave in full via Paypal, they tell me my order will ship sometime between the last week of March to the second week of May and that they can not give me an estimate as they ship them on a first come/first serve basis.

WTF? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Feb 2nd the day they went up for preorder? I should have just stuck with BBTS. I'll never make that mistake again.

TheLegendMarvel · 03-19-2018, 07:27 PM

I really love that I have enough characters to recreate the poster in Figure form:
