It is the one in Aiken. Yes they had a total of 3 I think, and 2 of wolverine and and Mystique and 2 of the professor x 2 pack. They must of restocked that one because they had 2 before and sold both of them.

That’s pretty cool. I gave the motorcycle to Hugh Jackman Wolverine as well.

Passed on the Retro Green Goblin a few times after seeing it in person at retail. Finally bit the bullet and bought a loose ToyBiz Green Goblin with glider on eBay for $25 shipped. Waited to find one under $30 bucks and it took a while. Not disappointed in any way. One of the best, if not the best, Toybiz figure that still holds up today. IMO, much better sculpt (and with a glider that has a stand) than the recent retro Green Goblin.

Anyone collect or used to collect Onell Design Glyos? That Nimrod would fit right in with them. Thats actually why i'm not a fan of that figure. Looks too "plasticky" and not very posable.

Love to see GotG's successful movie merch do a Knowhere Legends helmet! The Eternals movie art excited a lot of speculation, on Knowhere being there, too. Some say it may star others like the female "Celestial Madonna." Either way, Eternals, GotG, or both movie merch lines; love to see Celestials become Legends / toys...

Finer detail on the female Celestial Madonna's face while she converses with Han Dynasty philosopher Zhang Heng.

Super Joe · 09-09-2020, 06:13 AM

Finer detail on Kirby's crazy intricacy / artistry. One can see his influence even decades later in the previously mentioned Celestial Madonna. Good luck to ML team trying capture such artistry in the toys / Legends helmets...

Is anyone looking for Shiklah and Jeff without the Strong Guy piece?

No.

I think the one Shiklah fan already bought the one figure they need.

You are probably right, but I always try to ask here before I post it anywhere else

Dr Kain · 09-09-2020, 01:00 PM

Yeah, I'm stuck with Shiklah and the Deadpools.

Yeah, I was mostly being snarky, but it is a little true. I am trying to decide what to do with Maverick. I don't really care about the character and I am surprised Hasbro did so much work on a D-lister. It doesn't really sell for much, so I am thinking about using it as a generic Reaver to go with Skullbuster and Gung-Cole.

Are you still interested in trading for the yellow rings? Send me a PM.

tierneygreen · 09-09-2020, 01:53 PM

I'm really hoping the eye makeup isn't so garish, in hand.

Starlord67 · 09-09-2020, 04:12 PM

I found two War Machines today at Target...anyone need him? I put one on hold in case someone was searching. As always..cost plus shipping

The Queens look great except the eye makeup. I'll be painting over that!!

Hulkwummy · 09-09-2020, 06:49 PM

When one of you said a Non-Build-A-Figure Classic Sandman, do you mean on a standard Tigershark like body with alternate sand arms like Superskrull?

StuartGreen2019 · 09-09-2020, 07:26 PM

@Hulkwummy - All I want out of a non-Build-A-Figure classic Sandman is for it to be easy to find. It could be a deluxe figure with alternate sand weapon hands, alternate heads, or whatever. It could be a repaint of the Hydro-Man figure with a new Sandman head sculpt. However Hasbro makes it, I just don't want it to be an exclusive to a store like Gamestop, Target, Walgreens or whatever. As I said in a previous page, the second Build-A-Figure wave of Spider-Man figures for 2021 has seven figures listed and one of them is listed as "Sandstone", so I'm hoping that classic Sandman is in that wave.

Hulkwummy · 09-09-2020, 07:51 PM

Well, Sandman is suppose to be a muscular guy in the comics, so reusing the same body as Sabertooth, Venom, and Tigershark with three sets of arms, two normal arms, two sand arms, and two sand weapon arms seems like a logical choice, and that's just my opinion.

sh002 · 09-09-2020, 07:56 PM

Storm and Thunderbird sets are hitting Canadian TRU stores now.

StuartGreen2019 · 09-09-2020, 07:58 PM

Honestly, I'd be fine with Sandman on a Sabretooth, Venom or Tigershark body. I'd love to see him completely normal and have the sand versions be of his sand weapon hands, feet and/or face. But in my opinion, the Toy Biz Sandman should be template on how to do it. That figure is still incredible and my default Sandman figure of choice. The Build-A-Figure version is too tall when displayed with figures for Mysterio, Vulture and Electro, and I prefer Deluxe figures over Build-A-Figures. I do hope they have one normal Sandman head sculpt with a calmer expression, as overtly-angry and/or angrily shouting faces should be A choice, but not THE only choice. The upset/sneering expressions usually make figures look more constipated than angry, which is why I'm still hoping for a smiling Captain America head sculpt after his recent lackluster head sculpts.

lolz... i LOVE the makeup. exactly what I would expect from ladies of the Hellfire club!

Veronica Mars · 09-09-2020, 09:44 PM

I'd expect something a bit more tasteful from Emma

I think the Hydroman body is more suited to Sandman given it has an actual t-shirt and jeans.
