I hope that if that whatever they do with the next Doc Ock figure, they do bendy wire tentacles that are also compatible with the previous release.

The Ikaris head with blasting eyes looks nice and I want to see this done again for an Exiles Mimic figure. Thena and Kro both look good. And I enjoy Sersi and Gemma Chan, but those are the only ones I am even considering picking up right away.

Speaking of Eternals heads...

We may see tracking numbers but don't be alarmed if there's no movement on it right away - guessing they're getting the tracking down for all of these first and then shipping, or maybe just doing batches.

Super exciting though!

I’m taking a couple days off to celebrate these, for sure! Hope they get the tracking dates right.

Sounds expensive.

I'm more curious about what this mold is going to be used for moving forward than I am about any size inaccuracies specific to Sabretooth. I'm even wondering if the height was exaggerated/fudged a little to provide a template for other more highly anticipated characters with that build.

They said when they first announced the wave that Sabretooth is on the Colossus body (from the Warlock wave). The Colossus BAF is quite a bit bigger. So, it’s an old body, and definitely too big for the Wrecking Crew. Cyber is coming on that body too.

Interesting. If that's the case - SMH - then they are creating brand new scale issues. If they make Nemesis/Holocaust now, he's going to have to be enormous. At least the size of Juggs, which is silly.

A new Nemesis would probably always have been a Juggernaut-sized figure, he was usually depicted as pretty massive in the AoA books.

That just seems excessive. I'm fully aware that one should discount official heights, but the gulf between 6'4" and Juggs is wide indeed.

But, whatever, I can't say I wouldn't welcome a new Nemesis, regardless of the size.

Captain Nash · 09-01-2021, 06:44 PM

Yup, we definitely need a new Nemesis, and he was quite oversized in the books as well - artistic license probably, but didn't have a ton of appearances despite being a crossover to 616 (and exiles)

Hopefully a new holocaust would at the very least fix that gawddamn hatch breakage issue.

Through in Abyss and Mikhail as well, and perhaps AOA Sinister.

Hell no! In no way should anything on that buck be used for a classic Wrecking crew. The hgts of all WC members are 6'6, 6'4, 6'4 & 6'3, in what world do you see them as towering giants? The new 80s Hercules is ideal for 3 of the members who have cookie cutter uniforms with only Piledriver needing some different pieces due to the studs on his glove cuffs & boot cuffs & his shoulder harness. Wrecker would be the only one that requires new tooling on the upper torso due to wearing that jacket.

Unless you want this crap again?

You realize the thread is an archive, right?

In the future, just go to the mirror and rant at yourself, or at least remember what you say.

Sheesh, I wasn't even the one that confirmed that Creed was on the Colossus body. You've got all kinds of misdirections going on over there...

...and, yes, I'm laughing pretty hard.

I made that comment before I found out that he was on the Colossus buck, I thought that was a brand new 6.5 scale buck. And I did make a latter comment about it being a larger sized buck which is way outta scale for 6'6 Sabretooth anyways. Artistic license be damned!

TheBlueMarvel · 09-02-2021, 10:45 AM

^lol

Uh-huh.

Finally found an Ultron at retail! I don't know how many times I've spotted this wave only to find that Ultron was the only one missing. Glad to finally have the genocidal robot on the shelf.
