Right....anyway...

It might. Is this the Sunfire body again?

How was that comment stereotypical? He'd be the easiest Quick Kick custom ever.

Wow. It does look like it. Design department interns using Photoshop for the first time fail? Nope. Just looked up his initial reveal. So that's new articulation, right?

That's a matter of public record. It's on his LinkedIn page, man.

Scorpion also has a ball diaphragm instead of the go-to hinge. Of Course all of the women have had ball-joint torsos too but on the regular sized dudes I think Scorpion was Hasbro's first (not factoring MCU figures).

[tierneygreen]

I think the newness would be in that this is the first ball joint torso and butterfly shoulder combo. Yes?

But as I said before, Doom is too good to pass up and part of that is because all the Dooms we have are lacking. I can't say that for the rest of the F4, this She Hulk doesn't fill the niche for what I'd want for a remade She Hulk figure, and I still think the TB super Skrull holds up well. But again, YMMV.

Remember this when they make:
- an AOA wave with core characters
- an original X-factor box set
- FA Rogue
- Outback Rogue
- Silvestri Colossus (aka sans shirt)
- Silvestri Psylocke
- FA New Mutants box set

Good point. Although since it's a different "universe" I'm not counting AoA stuff. Actually I just forgot to mention that in my first reply, but I"ll take whatever they want to throw against the wall out of that. I plan to buy everything. And while an Outback Rogue isn't the worst thing, I'd much rather have a more modern Rogue, either around the time of X-Men Legacy or her Avengers look.

Technicalities, man! lol

I'm trying to determine where I should preorder my FF wave.

Where do you think it will drop first?

Online:
In theory I want to say Pulse will get them in first because I have a "of course they will, they ARE Hasbro" mentality. This may not be the case but it's my first thought. If I recall correctly based on what everybody shares here, Dorkside has a history of getting standard waves pretty early so that'd be my other choice.

In-person:
Apparently Gamestop is where everything shows up first now.

Thanks. I've never used Pulse, but I'll check it out. I might just do an in hand US auction on Ebay. I'll also see if Gamestop offers a preorder, just in case.

Sorry in advance for the seemingly spam nature of this post. So I was able to find a full case of Dani Moonstars at a Pensacola Walgreens. They're holding it for me to buy tomorrow.

Are there enough people still interested in her that I can help? Please, anyone interested PM me and I'll head over there after work tomorrow.

[kenm2474]

Just stopped by Walgreens not expecting anything and there they were 3 Moonstars. So Pumped.

[Nutimus Prime]

So I'm looking for some opinions before I kitbash my other 2 Danis into Magma and Magik.

Which do you prefer for Dani? I like them both unfinished, even sans paint customization or boot fringe. I like the scale of the Kitty Pryde one. Makes me think more regal with the shoulder pads too lol.

Do you think the Wolfsbane works? Still have to paint and maybe play with size and placement of fur.

[kenm2474]

Turning my Dani into:

[MeLikeJinx]

^ Is that the 3 pack head? I want to do that too so bad... I love the tiny shoulder pads on the First Appearance Wolvie... looks just like the 90's cartoon version.

The Kitty body definitely looks better for Dani IMO. But the regular body looks good for the rest of the team.

And it is kinda crazy how hard Dani hit all of sudden this past week... even I saw 3 on the shelf at a Walgreens.

Also saw this though: https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...05&oe=5E5EA9D7 Gawd... I hate repackers. Although I'm thinking that red skirt thing might look cool on the normal Dani body for some reason.

I did the same thing to my wolvesbane, swapped her lower legs out with retro black widow as the yellow boot tops still showed and didn’t want paint rub. After paint it looks good!
I’m waiting to get another kitty to also do the same thing with Dani.

I don’t hate that look. Repackers can be pretty creative...I might have to hunt a cheap Electra body. I kind of understand the urge to repack Dani when you only need the body...cheap bastard.

Cool Kenm!
They are an absolute pain to get on the UK. Only import stock, that gets sold out immediately. I got one at Comic con, And two coming from Honk Knog. But I need two more to make Magma and Magik, so it seems. Have to pay shipping, which I don't mind, and taxes, which I do mind as they make it way expensive. It's costing me more than a full wave.

Apparently Hasbro won't release them for now in theU.K., Gods know why. And it seems the Alpha Flight set is about the same. If I get it through Amazon I have to pay 50£ more.
Considering I have been waiting for years for NM and AF is a real pain.
Not to mention I have Havok/Polaris and the Jean set on preorder. So much money!

Luckily I only needed Valkyire from the Thor wave, and I'm only getting the usual three figures from the Spider-man wave, but for sure I am getting the FF wave. Can't wait to retire my old toybiz Doom and pair grey She Hulk with my grey Hulk.
