I found more of the Black Widow wave myself but damn I didn't think the Avengers wave was supposed to be out until the end of the month even before the pandemic.

Awesome score, look forward to some pictures of the Avengers wave since it's unlikely most will see it for a while, though if it's already hitting, you never know. Now we just need someone to find the AOA wave....

Target online has a toy offer of $10 off $50 and $25 off $100. It works on the AOA wave, Gamerverse wave, Deadly Origin Black Widow, MCU white costume Black Widow, Starboost Armor Iron Man, and Stan Lee along with Star Wars Black Series figures and other toys.

Maybe there's something I'm missing, but the Spanish flu killed at least 17 million people.

What do you Guys Think So Far? Tail needs to be added.

Nutimus Prime · 04-05-2020, 01:21 PM

Need to find time to open the Black Widow wave. I finally have a comic Bucky to go with Cap. Woohoo.

The Avengers wave I'll try to open this evening with the kids. Building Abomination with my son will be fun when he sees how it turns out.

Edit: and yes, Mar-Vell has the metal end wrap of a pencil next to his face lol. Took it out, everything is fine. But I grabbed that one because the other Mar-Vell had a sloppy face paint app.

I'm glad that you brought up the Spanish Flu because there are important parallels to make with that contagion. Sadly, just as in the 20's, our current health care system doesn't have enough beds to accommodate an epidemic, let alone qualified professionals to administer care. Add to that the fact that our country (supposing you live here) is far more densely populated than it was back then - 330mil now to the 100mil then.

With 1.3 million cases worldwide and roughly 70k dead, I'll let you do the math to figure out how long it would take to reach Spanish Flu numbers if the virus progresses unabated. Also remember that the Spanish Flu raged for 2-3 years.

We have more than 100k confirmed cases in the US alone and proportionally we are woefully behind nations like South Korea, Japan and Italy with regard to testing. What that means is that we have no clue of the actual numbers of infected, and modest estimates extrapolate the real numbers in the states at roughly 330k currently. [EDIT NOTE: my numbers are off, the actual numbers are worse - confirmed = 300k+ - actual numbers are likely far higher] 4-5 weeks in and we still don't have enough kits to test the 330 million people living in America, which amounts to the most powerful nation in the world flying blind.

Something else that you may, or may not realize is that there are only 900k to 1mil hospital beds available in our healthcare system in totality. It doesn't take much imagination to divine how this could get catastrophic pretty quickly.

I hope that helps to fill in some (I left out lack of PPE and ventilators, among many other hurdles) of the missing details as to why doctors (aka the experts) are very scared. If you're willing to eschew the concerns of front line healthcare providers, then that's on you, don't hate the messenger. Me? I'm taking the EXPERTS at their word...

I'm disappointed Hasbro cheaped out on Mach-1 so you can't see his eyes through the helmet like in the comics. It's been likewise omitted from his box art.

Starlord67 · 04-05-2020, 03:44 PM

Another use for the Black Widow Head...

Captain Nash · 04-05-2020, 03:44 PM

I swear....we're THIS close to a FA Storm.....she better still be happening somehow.

On the one hand, I agree completely. On the other hand, I want my OG Thunderbolts, so I'll take what I can get.

I just started work on a custom Spiral today. I used the same head as you, but I put Black Cat hair on it. I used the redhead. Did you even you the same Cuckoo I did? If you don't have arms planned already, consider using the upper arms from the teen body for Spiral's lower arms. The smaller pegs made it easier to find room for peg holes. It looks like you know what you are doing and don't need any advice, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.

Wow...thanks for all of that. That was a good tutorial. However that other figure is going to be Clea from Dr. Strange. Thanks for the kind words about Marvel Girl. I've got about 10 figures on the burners right now.

Dolemite · 04-05-2020, 08:22 PM

Currently working on a Death's Head figure using a custom cast resin head and the Warlock BAF wave Colossus body. I'm basing it on his What If? appearance, which is probably my favorite Death's Head story. Will post it when I'm done.

RE3 was may fav RE game and probably in my top 5 games of all-time... so strange that I don't even feel like picking up the remake after playing the demo.

Good thing I am in for the gameplay, story, and character development than I am on the look of a character and I think this is by far the best version of Jill thus far. She actually has a personality and some great one liners.

Personally, I think the remake is vastly superior to the original, but I've also never been a huge fan of the original. Of the RE games Sugimura helmed, I felt it was his weakest.

Why wouldn't she happen? This virus is just going to delay releases, not cancel them.
