Exactly and that is why it was a terrible idea. I mean, who wants a barely articulated Hand Ninja? Bonus if you want to army build the ninja, you get a bunch of Lady Death Strike Figures.

I am super excited that there will be a real bring on the bad guys wave. I can't wait for the rest to be revealed.

I actually wouldn't mind limited articulation goons/henchmen since I mostly just use them to fill out displays...I even bought the Marvel Select Display base that came with Spider-woman loose on Ebay so I could use it for Zemo.

As others said, though, the issue is having to buy multiples of the villain character they would've come packed with just to army build.

I dug Select just straight up doing army builder two-packs for that exact reason.

My Hellfire Club Guards, Pulse Con Exclusives, and Target orders are all coming in this week around the same day. I’m not prepared for the amount of shipping boxes. Especially Target’s super large boxes for smaller items inside.

I brought Deadpool to work and put his guns and holsters under hot water from the sink for about 10 minutes. Both guns came out without breaking anything. YMMV.

This Marvel Select Human Torch base has potential for Marvel Legends.

Atrocious. The human Torch is a man on fire, not a man made outta fire. Hasbro can't get this character right. It's not rocket science!

This isn't Hasbro, it's Diamond Select.

I also like the made of fire visual.

Could FA Storm's cape be reused for Manta from the Imperial Guard?

SymbiSpidey · 10-12-2020, 09:56 PM

Curious to see who everybody has got on their main Avengers display. I'm working with a lineup of:

80th Cap
80th Iron-Man
80th Thor
80th Hulk
Retro Vision
Retro Hawkeye
Wal-Mart Exclusive Grey Widow
Wal-Mart Exclusive Comic Black Panther
Family Matters Quicksilver
Family Matters Scarlet Witch
Deluxe War Machine
Jocasta
Retro Wasp (with Ant-Man accessory)
New Falcon

Think I'm good until they release a new Giant-Man or Yellowjacket and a Tigra.

It doesn't seem like anyone wants Magneto alone as I've been trying to sell him since Friday.

Yep. He's my last resort reviewer.

Then I've seen him (and have experienced) him going off on people in the comments section even if they were civil.

It could also be reused for Destiny.

Whoa, when does that come out? I would be game for that just for the Brood.

This is similar to the set that I'm building out, but I added Black Knight as well. I'm holding off on Vision and Scarlet Witch in the hopes that Hasbro will release very comic-booky looking versions whenever their Wandavision line comes out.

I rarely watch his reviews because he's a whiner. Usually only if there's a figure I'm on the fence about because I know he's going to be bluntly honest. One of the recent reviews I saw he was misusing "cake/cakes" when talk about a female figure and it was just too much cringe for me, plus like you said he really dislikes Marvel Legends and it's pretty clear he's only doing it for the views. I never look at the comments section.

Prime day failed me, no sale on the Nimrod 3 pack, just the Family Matters 3 pack and Alpha Flight

Starlord67 · 10-13-2020, 05:09 AM

Snagged the Prof.X head from EBay for $5 so this set is getting returned!!

Edit~Tried taking back to Target and they would not accept it due to it being an "Expensive collectible" AND I had no receipt. *sigh* I guess I ship it back to Dorkside. I know that's the right thing to do.

Yep. Thank the gods I am under a free 30 day trial and didn't pay for it.

I could see a lot of reuse from that cape.

Well that's not sexist, now is it?

TheBlueMarvel · 10-13-2020, 09:33 AM

I like the little cardboard boxes the Hellfire Club goons came in, I'm not a 'packaging' guy and would prefer this approach to reduce plastic usage and free up budgets for accessories and tooling. At least as a measure for online retailing.

That's bad enough when talking about an actual person, it's even more creepy when talking about a plastic person.

Strike that...I'm actually not sure which is worse, they're both really bad.

You know, I was saying the same thing a little while ago because I ordered 2 Hydra goons. For online stuff, I'm all for it. If they did the packaging in retail stores, I could see scalping/swapping becoming more of a problem than it is now. But One thing I was thinking is that so far all of these army builders are somewhat limited in detail. I guess it's easy for a company to mass produce army builders and charge less than doing that to whole waves. Maybe it's just me?
I am happy to say that my Hellfire guards arrived too. But I'm in the process of moving so I don't plan on opening anything until I can really set up a display area.
