@Pinoy
Thanks for the review, Pinoy. Solid reviews and great pics as usual! Funny how a 'properly' sized Thanos (the character is not as big as the Hulk, he's 6'7") will raise the ire of fans and cause gnashing of teeth. For me, it only further highlights how grossly over-sized the Thor and the Wrecking Crew figs are in comparison to what their proper scale should be...I'm greatly looking forward to Thanos.

Anybody need any of these? $10 plus shipping for everything, or best offer.

$23 shipped loose. $20 plus actual shipping (probably like $6) if MOC.

Black Widow - $15 shipped MOC
Dark Elf - $15 shipped MOC
Omega Red - $13 shipped MOC

A few people here can vouch for me, as well as several over on MUcollectorclub.com. All shipping is within the continental US. Payment must be via PayPal and sent as a gift. Thanks!

Those agent Venom figures are abundant nowadays.... i remember when they were impossible to find a few months ago. i was at a walgreens saturday and they actually had a few of them sitting there.

Anytime, bro! Thanks for watching!

Would spraying spiderman with some kind of dulling spray work? He currently looks like he lubed up in baby oil >_<

Hey gang, HTS has the Odin wave up plus you can use the discount code family2015 for 20% off and it qualifies for free shipping. Comes out to about $112 before tax.

HTS Odin Wave

Forgot if I posted but I have a set of Spidey Hobgoblin figures for $140 + shipping if anybody needs a set and doesn't want to wait for an order from an e-tailer or retail.

Batroc

Enjoyed this figure a lot! Possible and close rendition of design!

Hellcat

Don’t know much about the character other than her last appearance in the She-Hulk comics right now. Will probably read more about her.

@advocatepinoy

Nice reviews and great pics! I'm digging your 'Lethal Ladies' line up...I'm not the biggest custom guy, but that Valkyrie is beautiful. I hope the Val we get from Hasbro looks half as good as that custom you have.

advocatepinoy · 03-03-2015, 08:04 PM

Thanks, BlueMarvel! Great Legends lately, to be honest! Enjoying the run.

@advocatepinoy

Thanks for the solid reviews of the Thanos line!

Sadly I am a bit mixed on Thanos now. The design seems a bit flawed with the scale, inability to fully sit and the should pads.

However, surprisingly, I now have an interest in both Batroc and Spider-Woman. I REALLY wish they would have given her some alternate hands though.

Thanks again for the great reviews!

BoNKerS · 03-03-2015, 10:20 PM

Thanks for the review Pinoy! I hope I can find the set at retail.

So far the only one I've found from the Thor line is this...

Avengers Wave one is at UK's TRU Online
Just ordered a couple of figures

Just saw that most of the Spider-Man wave is up on Amazon for $21.99 each, except Spider-Man. He's more expensive. I'm keeping my order in case I can't find them in stores. Expected shipping date is late this month.

ultraman zoffy · 03-04-2015, 04:52 PM

Advocate's photos have sealed it for me: if I end up picking up Batroc, Cap is laying a Figure Four on him, and they're going into my display that way.

That painted Jessica Drew head is incredible. Did you paint it yourself, or did you commission someone to do it for you? I'd be interested in getting something similar done for a few figures myself.

TheBlueMarvel · 03-04-2015, 05:33 PM

@UltramanZoffy

Pretty sure that was meant to be an armbar!

...forgive my quibbling over nothing; I was a high-school wrestler and former judo student. As a ready made fan of MMA, I noticed the same pic and it elicited a similar response from me...

It's strange because my LCS had a case of them as seen in the pic i posted a week ago... yet you look all over the place you can't seem to find them anywhere. i've been to a few wal marts, targets etc.

I was damn near ready to get a spider-man 2099 from my LCS today when to my amazement they both were sold.... i asked one of the guys working their where they bought them or how they got them, he claimed from ordering them straight from the distributor. now that i don't know..

Haha, yeah, I know it's an armbar in the photo, but the figure four is my wrestling submission move jam from bitd being a Ric Flair fan. lol I pre-ordered the Thanos BAF by itself from Dorkside since I'm kinda whatever on a half-repainted movie figure wave, but Batroc will be tapping out if he ever ends up on my shelves. =)
