True, but it still bugs me. I love them both as characters...

Lol I know man, me too. That stuff was hard to read.

I loved seeing T’Challa wield the Infinity Gauntlet in Secret Wars though. That was an excellent last stand against God Emperor Doom.

Plus, he and Namor worked together and somewhat reconciled at the end.

@Moon

Haven't read anything newer than Infinity...I'll have to check some trades. Just got the entire FF Byrne Visionaries run 0-8 to re-read, so I'm back on the TPB kick...to be clear, are you recommending Secret Wars? I haven't heard any resounding opinions in favor, yet. No pressure!

I just bought the two Byrne FF Omnibuses today!

Yes, Secret Wars was truly epic.

Dude. If we ever got the armored Panther from that story, I'd flip.

Yeah they need to make that ASAP. Good call.

Pravus Prime · 06-23-2018, 11:22 PM

Got Black Knight, I quite enjoy him. I hadn't watched any reviews, so the ratchet shoulders took me by surprise. It's slightly irksome that I've got so many extremities for Cull but no torso. TBH, I was kinda expecting Widow to shelfwarm, so I could pick up her and Malekith later at the unwanted discount price on Amazon.

Just finished episode 7. It's... okay. I'm getting tired of the Marvel Netflix series first three episodes being practically skippable before it really starts moving.

Ugh. I honestly regret watching JJ season 2. I kept at it just because Marvel Netflix tends to have that mid-season twist that can make a dull show better and instead the show just got even worse. After I finished that series, I'm not doing that again, if I'm not into it, I'm just done and I'm totally done with Jessica Jones.

She used to be into the DC line, as well, but that seems to have petered out. (The DCU crate in storage has dust on the lid.)

First of all, lucky you to have a long term collector spouse. Secondly, I think most collectors have the same story with DCUC.

Had it not been for getting the awesome opening theme to the show, I would have actually put season 2 of Jessica Jones BEHIND Iron Fist. It was awful...and I enjoyed season one immensely so it shocked me.

Speaking of Netflix, JayC has a review of the Cage and Claire two pack on his channel. Boy...did Hasbro miss the boat on the head sculpts on both characters. It doesn't really look like either of them.

I hope we get an official announcement on that SDCC set soon with a better look at the figs.

I doubt anything will ever be as slow as Iron Fist nor the first season to Jessica Jones. Those were a chore to get through. Fortunately JJ had Purple Man to steal the show. Iron Fist had nothing as all of the characters were pretty meh.

Anyway, I'm planning to start Cage 2 this afternoon. I loved the first season immensely, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do here.

Not sure if anyone has posted something similar but I saw a few people on Fwoosh talking about using some USB powered reading laps to make new tentacles for Doc Ock. Apparently the arms for these lights are very supportive and can be easily posed. Here’s an imgur album showing someone modding the lights.

Yeah...that's a bit beyond my expertise. Cool mod though...

hasbroherofan · 06-24-2018, 03:48 PM

Those look awesome.

Also seeing TheBlueMarvel reminds me we really need Blue Marvel in this line at some point.

jwyss234 · 06-24-2018, 04:07 PM

Couple of pics of the finished product.

I've been vocal in the past about my desire for a Blue Marvel and Anti-Man two pack, still holding out hope.

jmurray90720 · 06-24-2018, 04:31 PM

Im hoping the Deadpool waves from this year shift to X Force and X Factor waves and we get Rictor, Boom Boom, Siryn, Sunspot, Cannonball, 90s Havok and Polaris, Strong Guy and rereleases of X Force Wolverine and Archangel.....in addition to the X Men waves.
