Feral yes and wolfsbane in her wolfy form,

Two weeks?? In two weeks we'll have lost the contract to Quest and OSCORP will be dead. Sometimes you gotta do things yourself!

Oh wait, we're talking about toys...

[Spyne98]

^^I have 2 weeks too, but I was only able to get 4 of the figures off Amazon. Gotta hunt for the rest.

He can also cast them with a clear base in case you'd like to rig them with a light source from underneath.

Thanks!

So I was thinking about getting Typhoid Mary and then I came across a custom someone did of her more classic costume and now I'm obsessed with getting an 80's version of Mary. My opinion on buying customs is why bother, Hasbro will get around to making a figure. However, the fact is Mary was just released and is a C list character so the chances of her getting a second figure based on her classic look are slim to none. Would this be a fair assessment?

It sounds like the right guess to me. Most comic characters seem to be one-offs for Hasbro, unless they're really popular, so they can move on to more characters.

My Target finally got in the Kree Sentry wave but all they had left were the jacketless Cap and like four Grey Gargoyles.

Also, more cynically, a major motivating factor for making Typhoid Mary in the first place was likely the reuse potential for a more popular character like Emma Frost down the line.

Jesus, when was the last time you read a current comic then, 1989?

I mean, I know I'm bad at times with the modern iterations (never read any issue with Carnage Goblin yet), but I do at least know the characters from 27 years ago.

There might be nothing Kree about it to you, however the BAF is pretty accurate to the original design.



I'm kind of hoping that Hasbro will release a generic sentinel head that could be swapped out with the head on this build a figure. I think the Kree Sentry would make a great mini Sentinel of sorts. That's pretty much the only reason why I'm building it. My BAF parts to complete it should arrive by the end of the week so I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Well truth be told I have never read comics... I have always followed the cartoons and animated movies from my childhood, it also doesn't bode well for a character if no one has mentioned him in his 30 years of existence as a missing part of their toy collection. I followed comics closely enough to look into characters if the interested me, but I have literally never heard of Night Thrasher. Seeing him packaged with a skateboard makes him seem like a joke character like Gwenpool, so I thought he was modern.

Your right! It is very close to the original design, still looks odd to me. I like that the comic version was more humanoid I feel like the oversized hands and feet on the legends version makes it look more like a Hero Masher than a legends.

I'm in that boat of why bother with customs. Most of what I have made or have been in the process of making ends up getting an official release. It saves me some time and effort, so it's not terrible. I started making really obscure customs, mostly 90's characters who have had like 5 appearances. But to circle back on what you were saying, I don't see Hasbro making another Mary figure in her 80's costume unless there's a special box set. Someone said she was most likely made so Hasbro can get other figures out of the mold. I'd agree to that.

Fair enough. He was part of a team called The New Warriors in the 90s which included Firestar, Nova, Speedball, Namorita, and a lady with crutches (can't remember her name right now).

I agree on the customs part. Due to the space issues and living situation where all my figures are packed away in boxes, I haven't had space or really start customizing on things I bought for it two years ago. I want to start but like you said, Hasbro's starting to make so much every year that most of what I think I'd want will get done. Already, I have two Scarlet Witches I was going to use for Enchantress and Polaris I can use for something else, (yeah it's been THAT long since I've had a chance to start in on this.) I'm betting the extra Hellcat will prove unnecessary as we'll see a Firestar sooner or later. Moonstar is a toss up and if she doesn't come out with the Walgreen's line as rumored, I probably will end up making her to just get her done. The extra Kraven and Dr Strange I bought for Count Nefaria and Gravitron may or may not prove necessary. With them making New Warriors my hopes for getting a non Archangel Angel to customize Justice may prove unnecessary..those were really the main ones I had in mind. Half of them are already done. I feel like if I just wait long enough I won't have to do the work, but I'll still have the extra figures lol.

Just a couple of quick FYIs. There have been multiple calls on this thread over the years for Thrash. I have been one of many that've asked not only for Thrash, but the rest of the New Warriors. Additionally, the Sentry BAF is pretty accurate to the updated versions appearing in Annihilation:Conquest. The only major difference being the Spartan-esque tassels at the top of the quadriceps, which are a nod to the original design.

Ileene? Haha. I never really got into the new warriors....they always kinda felt like marvels verion of dcs the outsiders.

Now when rick rider went solo i kinda got into the character but not when he was in the warriors.

Wow, that's bad yet I did snortle too. For the record, it was silhouette.

[K Dubious]

Thanks for the info everyone, I can always appreciate learning more about characters that are unknown to me.

Just to be clear I'm by no means trying to bash the characters that don't resonate with me, I was just throwing my opinion that some of the character choices in the Kree Sentry and Kingpin wave are not my cup of tea.

I think that the character design for Night Thrasher is cool, but I know nothing of him and I do not plan on adding him to my spidey shelves. Quick glance at his backstory makes him seem like a cross between Batman and Kick-Ass, again I think that is cool, but I still don't have a need for him.

I feel like the proportions are off on the Sentry, something about it to me does not look right to me. I do like Triv's idea that a sentinel drone could be made from it.

I'm not trying to convince anyone to not get these figures, in fact I hope they are all on someone's wish list, they just are not on mine.

Wow, Bo Ttef. That makes a great JJJ. I can see Hasbro easily redoing that with a normal arm. I might do it myself.

Took advantage of the sale and was able to order Infinity War Black Panther, Erik Killmonger, Ulysses Klaue, Prince T'Challa, and King T'Chakka from Gamestop.com this past Monday, and they arrived last night. This was my most anticipated wave since the Marvel Studios 10th Anniversary wave, and I must say...it does not disappoint. I've been sitting on 3 Dora Milaje I found a GameStop a couple of weeks ago, so I was set there, but these other 6 figures, M'Baku included are amazing. The standout of this wave is indeed Erik Killmonger, everyone else is a coin toss they're so good. I already made the decision to pass Prince T'Challa to my son (very symbolic) because I have the Civil War version. Also, I thought the Black Panther from wave 1 was good, but what a difference a face sculpt and purple highlights can make. He is on my Infinity War Shelf with the Dora Milaje, and his fellow Avengers as we speak. As soon as I find my darn memory card, I'm posting pictures of my updated display, or as I like to call it "Marvel Studios Goodness".


Speaking of Marvel Studios, I picked up Captain Marvel, Nick Fury, Talos, SPOILER ALERT, and Carol from Walmart on the 1st. Another solid wave of figures. The standard Captain Marvel is right up there with the rest of the females they've released from the MCU since 2017 that will stand the test of time. As much as I LOVE the MCU, I try to always...always display my Legends with their helmets or mask, and Captain Marvel might have one of this best, if not most logical helmet in the entire MCU, that's why it was a no brainer to display her with her helmet.


Having both the Captain Marvel wave, and wave 2 of the Black Panther makes me more anxious for Toy Fair next month. I seriously hope they continue the Marvel Studios line. So many missed opportunities, but what they do with these figures now equals so much more potential.

[Jerseysteel]

The following BAF parts are for trade.
I'm looking for the Krer Sentury parts that come with the movie figures as well as Monkeyman's right arm from the Legendary comicbook hero line.
