Yep, took an xacto knife to the nails to sharpen them and make pegs to connect. I had to sacrifice a childhood toy for the project lol.

Anyways- haters gonna hate it but I think it's a fun footnote that gave him something cool outside the traditional visor he's worn since the get-go.

I dig that Cyclops. It's a great design for his dark period after he killed Prof. Cool shot with the characters in all black gear.

There's no such thing anymore as being able to just pick up a single issue and enjoying it without knowing hundreds of issues worth of backstory and then having to commit to picking up the next several issues just to get the full story. I hate it. I want to be able to just grab a single issue, read it, and enjoy it a complete tale.

LoL... you should be reading the "Adventure" lines then (though I don't know how frequently those digest books come out)... Personally I LOVE a massive universe with an on-going story and insane amounts of continuity... it's a bit of a reward for being a consistent reader... And I can't wait for White Suit Magneto to add him to the team.

Those look great, man. Nice concise detail. Very sharp.

The hell is this design?

Thanks. I really wanted that spindly claw look I've seen on Shadow King.

Interesting look. I definitely wasn't needing another Iron Man but I really like that look. Dorkside has it up for preorder, December estimate ship. I went ahead and ordered.

Bo Ttef · 08-23-2019, 09:03 AM

Interesting... but not a look I need. I could see for anyone building a Hall of Armor it's a nice addition though.

Boy Blunder · 08-23-2019, 09:20 AM

That's pretty cool, but like Bo said, not a look I need. I just don't have the hankering for the newer armor design.

I'm all about that 80th figure. Or, you know, if they ever want to do the 90s Modular Armor. I'd be down for that.

Also, only an hour and some change until Hasbro's panel!

Hulkwummy · 08-23-2019, 10:52 AM

An updated 90s Modular Armor Iron Man is a absolute must have.

firmpulse · 08-23-2019, 10:57 AM

The oddest part about this (to me) is the sword. I just can't get my head around Iron Man with a light saber.

What's funny is that he did use a pair of energy swords with that armor... but not in that configuration (at least, that I can find). Since the Model 51/Prime armor can alter itself (like a modern nanotech-ish version of the Modular Armor), Tony used it in stealth configuration (like the toy), but also had it reinforce itself into a layered armor of samurai-like design (complete with the aforementioned energy swords).

Um... it is, isn't it? I mean, since MarvelousNews is starting up their livestream...

D'oh! I thought your comment was posted later than it was. How awkward. Yay for news sooner!

Boy Blunder · 08-23-2019, 11:36 AM

Well. There you go, Nash. Alpha Flight boxed set.

Captain Nash · 08-23-2019, 11:39 AM

*please excuse my french for a moment*

Holy Fucking Shit.

and there goes almost half my current top 10 wants wiped out in an instant, and another from within my top 30. This is a good day. A good good day. Thank you.

There's really only two things that could make next year even better......

Edited the edit: We all know that's not true. I'm never done.

Tim · 08-23-2019, 11:40 AM

I knew a Puck was given. But I’m pleasantly surprised my pick got made the Aurora and North Star. That alpha flight boxset is pretty neat. Overall love those reveals.

I’m guessing one of them is Firestar? (I’m right there with ya)Ha. I’m just stoked Aurora and Northstar are getting made. Wasn’t expecting them. Just like I wasn’t expecting a AOA Morph. Hasbro is killin it lately

Two of the Four Stars done over the next year. (Moonstar, Northstar). Darkside is a very unlikely choice but surely we'll get Firestar to complete the theme.

The other was FA Storm. Hoping if it's coming it's a WG Exclusive since we might not get a normal X-Men wave.

Bo Ttef · 08-23-2019, 11:48 AM

Is that Puck new or just the BAF from before?
