Certainly, from that perspective, I get it. Marc's "Steve Grant" persona was definitely a wealthy playboy and suave, but that doesn't always connote "good looking." Money, fine clothes and impressive cars often function as enhancements that are in turn conflated as "handsome/attractive." Not that it matters a whole lot, but Moon Knight was one of the books that started me collecting monthly issues (circa the early 80's, a little before the Atlantis Attacks period) and Bill Sienkiewicz' art for "Steve" never really gave me the impression that he was overwhelming comely. Certainly he was rich and enjoyed expensive things, but I don't recall comments from random characters regarding him being an Adonis. Honestly, there's no reason Ian can't be Moon Knight, but I admit that the more I think about his face the more I get a Nightwing vibe.

Whatever, it doesn't really matter, Feige doesn't care what I think...

Yah he definitely has a nightwing thing goin on. If dc were to so a theatrical noghtwing movie....without royaly cocking it up, i could definitely see him doing that.

Just like if laurence fishburn werent already bill foster i could see him as blue marvel and austin nichols as the whizzer.

Picked up a spare Dazzler from Amazon for $7 to make a 90's style Silver Sable- swapped the arms (save the shoulder joint) and hands, threw some silver paint at it and ta-da!

Larry Fishburne would have to get involved in some serious training program in order to pull that off. The Blue Marvel might have graying temples, but he's very powerfully built. I'm curious: why an old guy for BM and a young guy for the Whizzer? Theoretically, the Whizzer is older than BM...

Blue marvel seems ageless and the whizzer could be a younger version. Maybe henry simmons as bm?

Maybe...

I like Aldis Hodge for Blue Marvel, but DC nabbed him for Hawkman...

I also like Jonathan Majors, but he's also taken.

But my first choice is Michael Jai White. He's the poise, the build, and is older and more naturally suited to play a character with both age and depth of life experience. I do worry about acting chops a little bit; he's often type-casted. However, what I've seen in interviews leads me to believe he's 'that dude' - thoughtful, intelligent, and not at all surface. I think he could pull it off well, reinvigorating his career and putting BM on the map as a cross between Reed Richards & Superman.

For anyone in the Nashville area, Brentwood Target has 1 Vintage Rogue on an end cap. The paint wasn't the best but its the first I've seen since the release day.

That reminds me, I was in Hermitage yesterday and they had a single Rogue at Target. When I looked at it twice, it was either the old Juggernaut wave Rogue head on the new body or just a completely swapped figure of the Juggernaut wave Rogue. Hard for me to tell without the original there for color comparison.

Needless to say it got left on the endcap.

[jwyss234]

Mt. Juliet, TN Target has 4 Rogues.

[WallySparks]

I live in the midwest and i tried every midwest state to see if Rogue was in stock.

South Dakota, iowa, north dakota and minnesota are out of stock as usual.

[jwyss234]

Target is saying Rogue is available to ship right now.

I probably went to Target a dozen times since the 29th and only ever saw a lone Rogue once... in the middle of the afternoon... and got it... luckily the paint apps were good enough.

Of like the 20+ different toy hunt people on Youtube that I have watched I would say that only two didn't see a Rogue at all at either Target or a Canadian TRU and all of them saw at least one Gambit. That's a pretty good success rate for an exclusive IMO... and this is before any restocks. And at the same time only like five people found the Target exclusive Mandalorian with Grogru.

I havent seen any exclusives except a commander pyre. Stores here havent restocked legends sw or power rangers since three weeks ago. And if there is a small restock the shit never even reaches the effin’ floor because gaggles of scalpers are on it quicker than vultures on a carcass.

[MeLikeJinx]

^ IMO the jury is still out if Rogue will end up being impossible to find on a retail peg or not. Popular Star Wars and Joe exclusives are always impossible to find though. IMO there will probably be a restock of Rogues and Gambits between Christmas and the New Year... we will see if they still sell out without the buy 2 get 1 free sale.

[redfox]

Found a $10 White Widow, so I couldn't say no. With the design of the head and hair, I'm thinking it might make a nice replacement for the upcoming Hox/Pox Marvel Girl maybe.

Sending out the call to Hasbro! Will O' the Wisp and Rocket Racer! The Outlaws must be completed!

Yeah it'll be interesting to see if they'll be more restock, it's like the Storm/Tbird set was hot for a bit now it shelf warms like crazy....

[webz]

I’ve seen Rogue, a few storms, and TONS of Negative Spidey and 90’s robo Spidey at Targets in my area in December. No Gambits, which I find curious, since his last figure shelfwarmed for months.
Seen a few grey black widows and various other exclusives. Imho Hasbro has done a pretty good job keeping my local stores stocked. Usually this close to Xmas, shelves are completely bare. I think the combination of online shopping and covid have given collectors a better sporting chance of snagging these in the wilds,

[Captain Nash]

Well, I got another email from Amazon saying the Phage figure will be delayed again, I think this is the third time now? So I just cancelled it. That will make two waves that I haven't bought a single figure from, ever, I think - and they're both Spider-Man or Spider-Man related. I'm know there's still tons of possibilities for that corner of Marvel, but it reinforces the feeling that I'm mostly done with it.

Sorry to hear that. target has it up for shipping if you still want it.

Thank you, I'm going to pass but this will be helpful for anyone else that also ordered through Amazon that has a delay.

Now that HOX/DOX wave is ordered I'm going to try really really hard to just stick to my wishlist only figures and Phage was more of a "what the heck, I'll get it" purchase.

The alleged line-up of the Iron Man Legends wave will be Iron Man (Modular Armor), Ironheart, Ultron (already revealed), Guardsman, Iron Man (Stealth), Iron Man (Hologram) and...Darkstar, for some reason. No info on the BAF.

Grain of salt and all that.
