Typhoid Mary looks cool but the BAF is very disappointing.

I think characters become almost unbearable when you have soooooooo many alternate versions and re-tellings and retcons.

well i enjoyed him in his pulp fiction role, which was very memorable and he usually plays a good foul mouthed bad ass. that last tarentino movie i had gotten a good laugh with him.

Getting a new comic Crossbones would also be nice since the only one Hasbro has ever given us is a bit dated.

i really don't mind either Zemo. hell i'd buy both either of them or both possibly. citizen V, im not too familar with him, i do know that was Zemo's hero get up when he was a thunderbolt. which was cool too.

crossbones is a cool villian as well, and i missed out on the original. so he seems like he's over due.

just had to go onto another page to see the new venom BAF and typhoid mary. im honestly not too impressed with the venom wave and baf. everyone here who knows me, knows im a big spidey/venom/symbiote fan. i might just cherry pick the wave as of now. not really sure.

typhoid mary looks great, i was however expecting her old look from the 90s. either way i'd buy her when i see her.

I was about to post these. Mary looks great! The big Venom is ok, but not 100% needed for me. But since I'm buying the full wave I suppose I'll get him.

DarthKamen · 05-31-2018, 12:27 PM

So I want three figures from the wave and the BAF.

Anyone not interested in the BAF want Mary, Ham and basic Venom? XD

Trivial Psychic · 05-31-2018, 12:35 PM

Typhoid Mary! Finally! I'm happy with what I see, but I hate how they did those torn fishnets. The sword is a clever re-use, although I wish she had some fire effects. Not sure about what looks like the reuse of Sue Storm's head there, but still, I'm just glad to finally be getting Mary in any form.

Sooo...Monster Venom is Gargan Venom, with an inaccurate head. Thank goodness I saved the head from the Classics one all those years back. It fits my Space Venom just fine, so I can't see it having too many issues. Despite the let down on the deco, it still looks good, and while I have never been a fan of Hulk and Juggernaut sized Venom in the books, it should hopefully quell some of the whiners out there constantly complaining about Venom being too small.

Also...Hasbro loses some points on that BAF for trying too hard to make it look like Revoltech's Amazing Yamaguchi Venom.

Anyone else thinking we'll see the corseted torso reused for a new Emma Frost?

Darn good idea! Here's hoping!

Not the TM designed I'd have preferred but I still like it!

I doubt theyd have made the nearly topless one....thats the one i wanted. Guess i gotta make a custom torso.

Someone else mentioned they couls reuse the torso for white queen. That’d be great but i hope ( never gonna happen but i can dream

) they make her og hellfire club outfit. Just a lil white paint on a lower torso and use the fur lined cape from lokette. And of course give her a wine glass.

And the old nick was more or less written outta the universe.
If the comics stayed independent of the movie designs thatd be one thing but for those of use who enjoy our comic versions only to have them altered to fit the movie versions its just not cool. Now had beetz been made to look more comic accurate( the porcelin skin, black spot over the eye and cropped cut hair ) then i suspect the ire of those not happy with the movie version would have been considerably less.

Actually, Nick Fury became Black in "Ultimate Marvel" comic line & was then used in the 2005 animated DVD movie "Ultimate Avengers & it's sequel. The MCU utilized that version of Fury for the live screen. But if regular 616 Marvel has also gotten rid of classic Fury for the MCU version then that's flat out wrong. Funny how no one has an issue with a white comic based character's race being switched for the big screen but if the reverse was done, watch out!

I think I know which design you're referring to, but let's pretend I don't so you can post it here.

This is fair, I think. The old Fury had a ton of baggage, but I respected that cantankerous old fart. I like Samuel L. Jackson, so I was good either way. Change is not an unfamiliar thing to comic books, but Secret Wars went a little far to draw the movie crowd into the books. The most recent Secret Wars, I mean. They really love that title, I dunno what's so damn secret about an event that set every universe collapsing into one.

Dr Kain · 05-31-2018, 05:26 PM

My excitment for Typhoid has dropped a little. I wanted her classic look from the 80s.

As for White Queen, she needs to look like this:

616...(if it’s still 616 post shittastic secret wars) retconed black fury in as original nicks iligitimate son that he never knew, then OG fury became a watcher, his son, who happened to also loose and eye, and choose to be he only other person in the MU to not get a prostetic one, joined shield and since his name happened to be nick fury was promoted to director... and he happened to be friends with Coulson for some reason... there is suspense of disbelief, then there’s bullshit. You decide.

I truly hope so! Hopefully, if we're lucky, they'll sneak out a Selene out of the deal, too!

That'd also be cool. But yeah I just figured there's a reason they went with this look, and that reason is likely the corset.

Veronica Mars · 06-01-2018, 01:00 AM

That's the MJ head again, with new hair yeah?

MeLikeJinx · 06-01-2018, 01:23 AM
