Anyway, here are some pics I took of Silver Surfer:

Overall, the figure looks nice, although the silver paint has rubbed off at the top of his arm where it meets the shoulder on his left side, so it looks kind of weird when you stare at it up close.

My only nitpick is the surf board. I have to praise Toy Biz on this aspect as I really like the magnet concept they did compared to the peg Hasbro used as it means I can place SS anywhere on his board without an issue. With Hasbro's, I have to turn the board backwards if I want him to be standing close to the front (Or is that the front? It seems to change depending on the artist). Not to mention that unless you have the board flat on the ground, he loosk like he is trying to surf on one leg.

Nevertheless, this is hands down the best Silver Surfer figure to date! I just wished they could perfect the surf board aspect.

I'm always jealous of your photos.

Thanks. Though, mine pale in comparison to some of the other baord members here.

BTW, EE just tried to charge me for Archangel (I forgot to update my CC). I thought he wasn't out until Dec?

What? Gamestop lists his release date as October 1st. Man... I kinda totally forgot I preordered him from there... can't wait to get him!

Dr Kain · 09-21-2018, 10:00 PM

How do I update my CC on EE? I can't find anything that lets me update it.

It is $99 before tax on Amazon. The one I ordered for $66 after tax is not bad. It was available again yesterday but I didn’t look in time. If I get another set I’ll sign up for their Amazon credit card to get $50 off. Yes I think the set will also be available at Target.

Marvel's First Family is finally complete and oh boy, this might be the best version of the Fantastic Four we've ever received in plastic:

Thing in particular....man, he might just be the best Marvel Legend of 2018. Him, Silver Surfer and Wolverine are in close competition but I might just give the edge to ol' Ben here.

Us Marvel fans are just never satisfied though....now that I have a complete Fantastic Four, I'm gonna need a Dr. Doom, I'm gonna need Super Skrull, Wizard....hell, just give me their entire rogues gallery and supporting cast lol.

That’s really really awesome I love thing he looks fantastic. Did you pay for faster shipping to get him today I’m just wondering because mine does not arrive till Tuesday and I live in Houston as well. I placed my order like an hour after you did

Phantomcrow · 09-22-2018, 12:05 PM

Yeah I have 2 Archangels and 4 of the Aim Soldier pack reserved at Gamestop and they are all due on Oct 1st. Which means they will show up sometime the week after the 1st, Good thing I have a paycheck before then.

Damn, I absolutely cannot wait until Thing shows up in my local Walgreens!

Grabbed one when I saw him on a FB post- shared it with a small group and he was sold-out for all of them that tried... I must have got in right at the tail-end of availability.

DarthKamen · 09-22-2018, 01:52 PM

I finished my first BAF today! Apocalypse.

And...he's okay. He looks awesome but he's kinda hard to move around. Rather stiff.

Magneto is okay. I like the costume but I need to get him a cloth cape. Hate the plastic one.

Gladiator...oh Gladiator. I don't like your design, I have no idea who you are but dang it...I feel sorry for you. No one likes you.

Also got Omega Red...who I also have never heard of before this wave was announced. But the figure is amazing. Anyone want his BAF part though?

Dr Kain · 09-22-2018, 02:20 PM

You've never heard of Gladiator or Omega Red before?

DarthKamen · 09-22-2018, 02:32 PM

No I have not.

Not everyone is a supergeek like us. They need time to fully become geekcsendant.

Same happened to me with Surfer. I "successfully" ordered, only to see Walgreens cancel the order about a week later. I'm not concerned, though. I've spotted multiple Surfers at every Walgreens I've popped into in recent weeks. I'm sure it'll be the same with Thing shortly. And Magik when she's available, and (possibly/supposedly) Mystique.

MeLikeJinx · 09-22-2018, 03:19 PM

^ For me it is a problem if the previous fig is unpopular like how few people bought Ant-man or Medusa where I am at... it made finding the next figures harder. But I'm pretty sure people will be buying up all the Surfers and Things... Magik might not be as popular though.

Let commence the geekening.

DarthKamen · 09-22-2018, 03:57 PM

Will it hurt?

My X Men collection. Sorry for the crummy photo, bad lighting and had to shrink it down.

.....And I completely forgot Gladiator. Sorry pal!

Nope, just paid for the standard FedEx shipping. These Walgreens orders tend to arrive insanely fast for me.

What part of Houston are you in?

kylactus · 09-22-2018, 05:04 PM

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet, but if you want an open hand for your apocalypse BAF, the Walmart Thanos non gauntlet hand fits perfectly.
