- John Romita Sr. art-based 60s Spider-Man (with "wavy-lines" spider-sense accessory, alternate Romita art Peter Parker head, open wall-crawling alternate hands and have the chest spider emblem's legs facing out at the sides instead of up-and-down) with John Romita Sr. art green-and-orange suit Doctor Octopus with bendable wire tentacles (please?)

we have so many heroes and their arch enemies, but there's a lot of secondary enemies I'd like to see in this.

Ghost Rider and Blackheart
Hulk and Maestro (this would have to be some extra pricing)
Captain Marvel and Moonstone
Jean Grey and Madelyne Pryor
Bishop and Fitzroy
Black Panther and comic Killmonger
Iron Man and Mandarin
Scarlet Witch and Brian Michael Bendis
Moon Knight and Black Spectre
Blade and Dracula
Wolverine and Deathstrike
Namor and Attuma
She hulk and Titania

Guess “Flattop” would be Eddie Brock Venom and “Mohawk” is Venomized Captain Marvel. “Ponytail” = Venomized Spider-girl? I have no clues about “fade”.

I’ll hold out hope that “Fade” is Venomized Blade...

[Boy Blunder]

Wow, everything but Blue Deadpool is sold out from Target. What a shock.

At least I still have the whole wave preordered from Amazon... for an October release.

Keep checking back on target too, the website restocks pretty often

[SymbiSpidey]

We're doing Face-Off 2-pack wishlists? Okay!

Classic Punisher and white suit Jigsaw
Punisher MAX Punisher and Barracuda
Classic Captain America and Red Skull (preferably his green suit)
Venom and Carnage
Classic Dr. Strange and Shuma Gorath
Moon Knight and Black Spectre (or Bushman)
Classic Adam Warlock and Thanos
Iron Fist and Steel Serpent
Blade and Dracula
Yellowjacket and Ultron

[Nimrod]

Shang Chi's 1st encounter with Sabretooth...and his last. All of Shang's blows would've incapacitated/crippled or killed just bout anybody else, unfortunately for Shang, Mr Creed is not "anybody" else.

Well ya gotta admit there is reasonable suspicion about a guy who dresses up in blue an grey tights and has a young boy Boy wearing a red vest and green scaled undies and and green booties. Just sayin’. haha. (Disclaimer: this is meant in a strictly humorous context and in noway should be taken or inferred as serious.)



FATALITY! Heh.

Humorous now but that's exactly what Wertham was against, (paraphrasing here) He said Batman and Robin we homoerotic and were inducting young boys into that lifestyle, which in the fifties was still considered a mental illness. WW on the other hand, was a lesbian who's adventures were intended to emasculate and intimidate/frighten young men, and there was some stuff about bondage, which the creator of WW actual said was correct

Wishlist are a favorite of mine! I really like the idea of Archenemy versus 2 packs. Very retro toyline to me. My wants would be:

Betsy Braddock vs Spiral (Pre-body swap pink/purple outfit for Betsy with alternate Mojo eyes head. Or they could go with her armored look with a seige perilous accessory. Butterfly psi effect. Classic Spiral look with swords, magic effect, and if delux one of those Blink teleporting circles in blue.)

Darkchylde vs Belasco (full silver armored look with horns and tail for Magik, again one of those Blink teleporting circles in yellow. For Belasco, his classic look with a reuse of their book accessory and a soulstone locket for sure!)

Immortal Hulk vs Abomination (Hulk is pretty standard angry look, though I think the Immortal Hulk has an evil twinkle in his eye that I enjoy. For Abomination, its all about that very scary head.)

Professor X vs Cassandra Nova (Grant Morrison New X-men sculpts. Those Frank Quietly inspired "old" people heads would look so good. And so old!)

Doctor Strange vs Shumagorath (Classic Dr. Strange look, can't believe we dont have this yet. And of course lots of bendy tentacles on Shumagorath.)

And my total longshot...

Adult Layla Miller vs Trevor Fitzroy (Layla would get her doom glove alternate hand, maybe even a young Layla pack in that could also be used later to do young characters like Valeria, the youngest Power Pack girl, etc. Maybe "good" and "evil" headsculpts for Fitzroy to reference his resurrection. Now I dont think you can really classify these two as arch enemies but Layla would make a fun alternative to pack in with Fitzroy as oppose to a Bishop or Shard)

Other ones people have suggested that I love but dont have specific wishes for are:

Ms.Marvel vs Rogue (Brotherhood)
Jessica Jones vs Purple Man
Ghost Rider vs Blackheart

and my favorite...Scarlet Witch vs Bendis! Lol this one made me laugh and cry. Alternatively it could also be a Jonathan Hickman. Idk why writers hate her so much (she is my favorite character along with Rogue and Layla Miller) but in one issue (Emypre:X-men #1) wham...all the work Robinson and Heinberg did to turn her into a hero again and get her as a character passed all the nonsense Bendis wrote undone.

Anyways aside from the one humorous one, I really would like to see all of what I listed. I tried thinking of a significant if not arch Captain America and Thor foe and just couldn't come up with one quickly.

Captain America and the Red Skull.
I always thought Loki was Thor's arch.

I am happy with 80th Cap and Thor and I could use a Loki and Red Skull that matched.

It was actually what lead to the introduction of Batgirl & Batwoman, because it was suggested that Baman & Robin were promoting an “unsavory homosexual alternative lifestyle.”

Yes! Kathy and Bette Kane not to be confused with Kate Kane and Barbara Gordon

Technically it's "Bambi meets Godzilla."

What did Hickman do to Wanda?

Hickman is behind the current X-Men story yes? He's turned her into the mutant boogie man, she's feared and hated amongst mutants, they call her The Pretender, she's basically Voldemort

Target also has for preorder Deadpool & Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Domino, and Old Man Logan & Hawkeye.

I grabbed Warpath as well after Robb posted those links and also Electro. I got an email that they shipped. I feel better knowing Warpath is on his way. I don't know why Dorkside did not send him with the others but I feel better safe then sorry just grabbing him from Target.

I am passing on the movie stuff and Old Man Logan set. Thanks though.

[StuartGreen2019]

Congratulations on your pre-orders, @Dodge76! By the time I found out about the links, everyone was gone. If I get the $$$, I'll pre-order Green Goblin and the ever-elusive yet truly amazing Spider-Man, as well as Mysterio. I was lucky enough to get Electro and Gwen Stacy pre-ordered from Amazon though. I'm in no rush to get them -- for now, I'm just glad I pre-ordered two of the figures I wanted most.

As a side note, that really sucks what they did to Scarlet Witch. She's one of my all-time favorite Marvel characters too. Then again, I haven't bought and read a 616 Marvel Comic since Sins Past/Civil War/One More Day ruined Spider-Man.

Hulk vs Abomination (classic)
Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) vs Blackheart
Punisher (Trench coat) vs Jigsaw
Iron Man (modular armor) vs Mandarin (90s cartoon)

[sh002]

Saw this pic on FB. Damn that’s a lot of Multiple Men. I regret buying more from the online stores that were selling him loose.

[MeLikeJinx]

^ IMO it's kinda crazy he can afford that many MMs, but not get a custom placeholder X-factor Wolfsbane... I've seen some great custom X-factor Wolfsbanes... a few even here in this thread.

[Dodge76]

After the mid 90's I really do not accept anything past that point as canon because everything seemed to have gone down hill.

Also found Weapon X AOA Wolverine on clearance at Walmart for 11 dollars so I went ahead and picked him up. The only figure I was missing in that wave and also did not like.

[Captain Nash]

So do we think we'll have some kind of live stream this week? for Rogue/Pyro? That thing needs to get on out there so we can put to rest movie/comic versions.
