Obitsu Stands. The price fluctates a bit on Amazon, but 5 stands for $21 is what I got them at. What I love about them is that you assemble them yourself and with a bunch of sets you can come up with a solution to any display.

Agreed. I have many Protech stands – the ones that rely on foot peg holes. The problem with those is that holes are so inconsistent across the 1/12 scale lines. I've been transitioning to the Obitsu stands for the last year or so. I'm up to a couple dozen now. They are very configurable. You can even double up on a single stand with a little ingenuity.

I just put my Rookie cnc fig together and damn.....its friggin’ awesome. If I can get a couple more sets i may use them as a new model mandroid.

[jwyss234]

Got this set in the mail today.



Quick review:

Miles: Obviously the best figure in the set. After all of the versions of Peter that we have gotten, it's nice to get a variant of Miles. He has a good mix of accessories which include the electricity effect to simulate his venom strike, a web line, an unmasked head, two fists, an open hand, and a web shooting hand. Even though he only comes with two pairs of hands, they offer enough variety that I'm ok with it. The unmasked head isn't movie accurate but it's an improvement over the original since the skin isn't as shinny.

Gwen: The weakest of the two figures. She's has minor paint variations but that's about it. She comes with a web line, unmasked head, and pulled down hood. The unmasked head looks nicer than the original but it's not movie accurate. Hasbro should have included some wall crawling hands or sculpted a new, movie accurate unmasked head. Just something to help give her some value and stand out from the original release.

Overall: This is a decent set with some minor improvements over the original releases. Miles is clearly the winner of the two having a new costume and a nice mix of accessories. Gwen will probably only have value to you if you don't have the original or want to use her for a custom.

i noticed from the pics that his skin is lighter in color this time around, i thought the original head was kinda dark in skin color compared to the movie and his comics. good review, im gonna get this pack for sure but i will most likely sell gwen, not into her.

Man i want that union jack NOW!!!!

[Dr Kain]

No idea who Citizen V is, so easy pass.

Beast looks cool, but I guess that means there are no more 70s versions coming any time before 2020 then, so that's kind of lame.

I will definitely pick up classic Loki, though something looks off to me with him.

citizen v??? who the hell is that? is marvel just inventing new characters to make money lol
looks like captain americas estranged cousin lol

Citizen V was baron zemo in disguise as a hero along with other supervillians as heroes called the thunderbolts. And holy sh!t union jack comes with an actual gun and knife...not some crappy nerfish garbage..

[Captain Nash]

YESSS!!! Jim Lee Beast! Another crucial X-Men update done. Surely Nightcrawler for the last in 2020.

And so glad to see Citizen V. Always happy to knock someone who's on my short (top 20) list done. Now we have songbird, Moonstone (thought not in her original TB costume) and V done, all we need now is a BAF Atlas, Mach II/IV (don't care which), and Techno/Fixer (either look is fine for me honestly for him) for the classic Thunderbolts - Jolt too if you want to get that technical. I have hopes they will give us another figure of them each year.

Beast VS. the Thing..........who wins?

[Tim]

Holy shit that beast looks amazing! I am glad I didn’t pick up the marvel Select one now. He literally looks perfect. So far this is the year of the X men and I couldn’t be Happier
Union Jack is also a Pleasant surprise. He will go great on my shelf with red Guardian and US Agent.
Hopefully a Atlas Baf isn’t too far behind the citizen v.

I wouldn’t call Union Jack unknown at all. He’s just Unknown to you. He was apart of the classic Invaders haha. But I agree on the skrull soldiers we definitely need them. I was half expecting a comic one of them in the Cap marvel wave but I was wrong

Of course I'm wishing I hadn't bought the MS one now.
I'm hoping he comes with an alternate head with a less ferocious expression. Maybe even with glasses?

Haha I feel ya man! I don’t think they’ll include Glasses but he might come with an extra head he probably have a moveable jaw. Hasbro has been pretty good at including extra parts with their bigger figures like Thing. I kinda wish he’d come with a lab coat and Glasses as well

I think he meant figure wise, which is the better looking one.

I can't say because I need to have Beast in hand to judge. Also, the picture is too small and blurry to see all of the details on him.

Oh, the sculpt is fine. It's just a bit out of scale with ML and has very limited articulation.

[SymbiSpidey]

Holy shit Beast looks PHENOMENAL!!!

I also had a sneaking feeling that Union Jack would be announced and it's awesome that we're getting another Thunderbolts character.


Awesome set of reveals! I love this

Here's a better shot. Toe joints and butterfly shoulder joints. Someone on another forum said he's supposed to come with alternate flattened hands, too, though I haven't been able to confirm that.
