Oh my god, I totally missed this entire conversation and had to go back to figure out what it was all about and I can not stop laughing my ass off over it. Aw man, you guys made my day. Today's going to be a good day, I just know it.

The best part of this whole thing I think is this:

I went ahead and ordered IronMan and Ms.marvel just to get the rest of the Abomination parts (don't really even care for the Gamerverse Abomination but I hate having an incomplete BAF even more- lolz)Very happy with these guys (though leader could have used maybe a darker orange on his suit (maybe a black wash)

...and got my WM Widows in... Even though I had canceled the order they went ahead and processed it anyways... Which I guess isn't so bad because this is an amazing figure!

Wow! That looks superb. I wish we could get an official version of her.

@HARBINGER
Thank you my friend! Yes I would love to get more of the ORIGINAL Guardians ESPECIALLY Starhawk and a proper Yondu.

Dr Kain · 05-25-2020, 08:47 PM

Well my travel to a different Walmart sucked because they didn't have a single Marvel figure on the pegs. They were all empty. The only thing with Marvel on it was an endcap that had these giant like 3 points of articulation toys of a venom symbiote covering over heroes or something.

Walgreen’s website is garbage. Why have an inventory tracker that is wrong every time? Just get rid of the option.

MeLikeJinx · 05-26-2020, 03:48 AM

^ You are hunting IM 2020? He doesn't seem that popular... I hope that doesn't affect Moon Knight's availability. Where I am at every Dani Moonstar and Cuckoos sold, so that was nice.

I think it was stated that all the Walgreens exclusives share inventory information, which means that it'll register anything from unsold Black Ants to the newest stuff as the newest items. I wouldn't be able to confirm that, though.

I wonder if the tracker works on any other product, since action figures are such a small part of their overall revenue.

Archangel · 05-26-2020, 10:09 AM

It makes sense, but should be an easy fix on the product setup side. Walgreens having exclusivity in the line is still baffling when you consider how little sales they have in the category.

Any ideas for alternate uses for a Nate Grey body? I’m going to end up with an extra soon.

redfox · 05-26-2020, 10:12 AM

In anticipation of the upcoming Fox/X-men figures, I created a lil placebo X-2 Jean Grey. Probably my favorite of her looks from the films.

It was one of their managers who was all excited about making toy sales a bigger part of Walgreens, and was super all-in on partnering with Hasbro. I don't remember if he's still in the chair, but it's proven to be profitable enough to keep doing.

As for Nate... maybe Skullfire from X-Men 2099?

She looks awesome, where'd you get a Famke head?

That is stellar. I love the creativity and forward thinking in this bash!

Hasbro really needs to get on making X-Men 2099 figures.

1,000,000 times agreed.

sh002 · 05-26-2020, 12:05 PM

I’m going to paint the upper arms grey and then pose her with Captain America and Wolverine as close as possible to the Uncanny X-Men # 268 cover.

Please and thank you! I know not everyone would be on-board with this one, but a wave or two of just 2099 X-Men, like the AoA wave, would make me the happiest.

And, of course, get some other 2099 figures out there aside from Miggy.

Thanks! The head is actually a Netflix Elektra face paired with the hair-piece from a Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow figure. The heads are not 100% compatible, though. Marvel Legends heads are huge while the older Diamond figures had tiny skulls, so I did have to mod the back of the Legends head a bit to make the fit.

Thanks, guys! She's nowhere near screen accurate, but it fits the aesthetic close enough for my tastes.

redfox · 05-26-2020, 12:40 PM

In other news...stumbled upon a $4 Black Widow, today.

Bo Ttef · 05-26-2020, 12:46 PM

Nice find!
