i wanna get living lazer but i will take off that weird white line on his helmet, its distracting.
And that Forge fig is good for fodder parts: holster and boot fringes

[Trivial Psychic]

As I'm looking at the newer official photos of the Quantum Suit Captain America, I'm seeing what might be a silver lining. I'm wondering if the headsculpt would work with either one of these two.

With Cap going again with the no ear look for his helmet, the new one is a pretty good match (or throwback if you will) to the earliest of his MCU looks, and might be a decent headsculpt update for them if the blues match up in person.

The quality has soared and product output has multiplied exponentially in that time, so it's hard to imagine it collapsing right now. Difficult as it is for me to wrap my head around, they'll run out of people to make eventually. I just want a goddamn four foot Galactus before it ends.
And Goldballs. Goldballs will herald the end, what a glorious end it shall be.

Hot takes aside, Hasbro has done a really great job. Better than Toy Biz in many respects. Toy Biz shines in the large bulky fig/BAF category, but that's pretty much their sole edge (maybe sculpt detail, as well). Hasbro has better uniformity, a wider selection, and cleaner and more appealing musculature designs.

My bone with Hasbro is their decision to earmark the MCU for heightened detailing, while neglecting most canon figs. It's for this reason that I was particularly impressed with Herc. I really hope this is a trend that continues, but I just can't shake the feeling of deja vu. When Nova Prime came out I was similarly ecstatic. I marveled (ha!) at the detail and thought to myself that someone at Hasbro must be a hardcore Marvel cosmic fan like me (or at least a Rich Rider fan) given how accurate the mold was. I thought all canon figs were going to get similar treatment moving forward, but in retrospect, given how things developed, I think that Nova was more or less the beneficiary of being one of two (does Guardians Iron Man really count? Nah! ) canon figs in an MCU-centric wave.

More unique sculpts for canon guys and gals will be a boon for all characters (imo). Especially the ladies - they're getting a little lazy with the 'all women have the same lithe bodies' routine. Heh, at the risk of damaging what little is left here of the general perception of me, I'm a fan of voluptuous and curvy forms in both real life and toy interests. I get the message conveyed when all heroines are portrayed as Playboy Playmates (man, that reads as bad as it sounds, oh well - 'real talk' here on out), but I think having some characters fit that bill reflects reality. I'd also like a Squirrel-Girl body type (although, that wasn't her original look) and a Big Bertha from the Great Lakes Avengers would also reflect that same realism. Now I don't really care about either of those characters (in fact, I find SG and the fandom that surrounds this 'editor's month' character slightly off-putting), it's the development of new molds that encourages me. Introducing new molds and spreading around the detail would go a long way toward buttering Hasbro's bread and set them up for another twelve years of success with the license.

Unique molds function like timed exclusives. They're an atractive departure from the norm that will eventually get chopped and re-served as line enhancing mad-libs. More molds make rehash harder to spot and me a happier camper.

LULZ I also enjoy mocking the willfully ignorant, another commonality we share (Marvel's cosmic tapestry being the other). That pic is visually appealing, you've a nice back yard or wherever that is that you photo your outdoor pics. It makes me think of the other aspect of our previous dialogue...I'm an 'herbalist', synthetics scare me!

Well i broke my right wrist today at mynieces bday rollerskating party. On the less painful side idid find two eyed fury and amy pohler cosplaying ms marvel with goose. i now have a strong dislike of xanadu farrah faucet i mean 1st appearance dazzler haha.

Heres the injury. Best i could take with a shaky left hands......

[kenm2474]

So when is the X-Men Caliban wave releasing?

[Erland]

Out of Endgame Wave 1 coming out all I want is Ronin, Maw, and Armored Thanos.

I have no want for these Quantum suit figures and all I basically collect (Marvel wise) is MCU figures. I just don't see these quantum suits playing a long term part in the series. They will most likely be used for one small part and then move onto their old outfits. Which means for me they are an easy pass but I need that Thanos and Maw and Corvis.

The QR Cap is wearing his mask from The Avengers. The Endgame banner and trailers have shown that Steve's mask for his new uniform is the same/similar to what he's been wearing since The Winter Soldier. The only CA suits that didn't sport the chin strap were his USO stage costume and his original Avengers uniform. Also, his First Avenger costume had brown leather covering his ears and the chin strap.

While the head on that QR suit figure is a nice update, I'd rather Hasbro re-released the original Avengers Cap with the new head, accurate paint apps, a different shield, and new forearms with proper wrist articulation.

You've photographed awesome pics of Kitty in the past, so I know you have, or had, the fig...acquiring surplus fem bodies for other X-Ladies?

[Tarooster]

Was able to snag Professor X while he was still $40 off Amazon, should be here later today. So pumped.

First off Nite...I hope you get better, and are able to do so without surgery. That looked gnarly. Second...let that be a reminder that past the age of 30, skateboards and roller blades and skates should be off limits to all of us. Get a bike or keep those feet on the floor.

I'm glad you would take the healing powers. It would suck if you would have took the claws instead.

After watching a couple of reviews of it, and seeing it side by side to a couple of other Caps, I decided to bite the bullet and pick up the new Cap. Was able to grab it in hand for about 22 dollars shipped off of Ebay. Worse goes for worse and I completely hate the figure, the body shouldn't be hard to get rid of once that Hawkeye/Widow two pack drops.

Thanks all for the well wishes folks. It actually helps me feel better. Hah hah trive. Yah no more skating of any kind for me from now on. Ill stick to safer activities, like skydiving, swimming with sharks and braving star trek conventions ( probably the most deadly of all ) haha!

Welp, I know what I'm doing if I ever am faced with that decision.

Giving them $100k?

[Dr Kain]

I did some experimentation earlier with my green screen and a blue poster background. Didn't work out to what I had hoped as I'm going to need to fix my lighting the next time I try this, but here is what I did:

No grand scheme really, just happenstance. Great figure, amazing price. Though the base body does open up the imagination for potential X-lady customs, which I could really have fun with.

Speaking of awesome pics, don't think we've forgotten yours. You should post more soon!

[Starlord67]

Saying a prayer for you Nitelife so sorry that happened!
