I did see another picture of very upclose pictures with Jean and the Selene head. Now it could just be lighting, or it could be lighting in this picture, but the flesh tones do match. I'm not a fan of the purple shading around her eyes but it's manageable.

At some point you will have to renew. I didn't get an email either, but I checked and it was going to expire before September. So I went ahead and paid for another year, just to give me any extra shot at the HC set.

Got Black Tom for a deal off eBay. I'm glad to have him in my villain ranks, but I think a more menacing portrait was called for. Hell, any expression at all would've been nice, instead of...

This is Dan Yun's latest tweet, so I'm guessing Rogue and Pyro

Retro Spidey wave is up on HasbroToyShop's Ebay page for retail! Go go go!

Looks better than any I've seen so far. Otoh, that looks hard. There are a lot of words.

Might be that Stranger fig all the kids are clamoring for. Having trouble not picturing them in bed together now.

Veronica Mars · 08-02-2020, 09:54 AM

Or it's going to be a vintage carded repaint of the Juggernaut wave Rogue

Thor Laserpunch · 08-02-2020, 10:09 AM

I feel like the Jim Lee head is due for an upgrade before we start seeing 80s-90s Rogue versions come out. Always looked like more of a fashion doll to me.

Now I'm going back and looking at the Toy Fair pics of the modern Rogue with the pinless joints she doesn't even have the white hair in front. Maybe I completely understood--is the 2pk supposed to be yet another version or are they fixing that?

It's been fixed, if you watch the live stream from May she's got her white streaks. I don't the current head on the Jim Lee Rogue, but I wouldn't mind a new one, I figure a vintage card release is going to have the yellow match the love triangle Wolvie and Cyclops, and have a more olive drab colored jacket plus the new accessory they teased, and a gloveless hand

Thor Laserpunch · 08-02-2020, 10:25 AM

Good, I missed that. Frankly more interested in Pyro though.

Ultra Seven · 08-02-2020, 10:58 AM

Hoping a new Jim Lee Rogue would have an improved head. A repainted two-pack Polaris would actually suit her pretty well, I’ve seen good customs of it.

Cool. Worst case scenario if it's not a dead-on match it's still getting Selene out there somehow.

Exactly. Selene has been in my near top and of late at the top of my want list, but I felt like she was a pipe dream. Due to her risque outfit and the general lack of a push for her from various communities (and I understand that),a HC set that would be an exclusive was to me literally only way I'd see it happen. And even though it's not a dead on likeness, and it's just an alternate head, that's official enough for me and I'm stoked for it.

But I still can't believe we're getting her before Firestar or a Classic Falcon.

I know, different subsets in the line but it's just kind of funny to me.

Is there a usual time for the reveal tomorrow?

I think there were some at noon EST? Or is my mind playing tricks on me?

I picked up a Starboost Ironman at Target this afternoon. I don’t think he’ll be hard to find based on how many I saw.

Nimrod · 08-02-2020, 12:27 PM

Frank always new that one day he'd cross paths with Victor Creed & when he saw the news that Shang Chi, a man he highly respected, had been slain by Creed in Hell's kitchen, he knew he had to make him pay. Over the yrs, Frank had either "acquired" or "appropriated" from various military installations & Hydra R&D facilties, 7.62 cal depleted uranium armor piercing rds & a case of 45 cal hollow pt Adamantium rds.

I saw him but when i saw that he suffered the same discoloration issue as the deadly origins widow i passed on him. If im dropping 20 bucks i dont want my fig to look discolored when its not even years old.

JCarterVA · 08-02-2020, 12:42 PM

Couple of photos of the Marvel Legends shelves. Need some FF villians.

ThorOdinson123 · 08-02-2020, 12:44 PM

was checking the Marvel Legends reddit and movie deadpool has 2 desert eagle guns glued into the holsters but someone who got Movie Deadpool early said he heated it up and was able to remove said guns that were glued in. so technically deadpool has 2 sets of guns.

That's kind of a clever way to silence parental groups and such saying the figure glorifies real world guns while also giving collectors the actual guns that aren't just nondescript sci-fi blasters.

Thor Laserpunch · 08-02-2020, 01:18 PM

Fan Channel reveal could also be the Marvel Now white Magneto they showed back when.

Are you sure you're not just thinking of Mezco that did that look? I can't recall Hasbro ever showing us that version of him, but maybe I'm just not remembering properly.

Thor Laserpunch · 08-02-2020, 01:57 PM

Maybe, but now that I said it, I want a 2pk with Cyclops.

Starlord67 · 08-02-2020, 02:04 PM

I'm very excited by the prospect of getting Master Mold from Haslab...but I want HASBRO to release SENTINELS that look like this

Boring visualy maybe but oh so cool!!
