Amazon delivered Legion today. David doesn't even exist in the AoA but since he's the one who triggered the reality's existence his inclusion in the wave does make sense. I think Hasbro did a great job with his pillar of hair and I like his zany expression. I can't tell if the paint wash on his clothes is just way over-applied or if that's deliberate to make it look like stains. Either way he's a solid figure and now I'm one piece closer to building Colossus.

Every time I look at Legion I think of Static X.



Both of them must own stock in hair gel companies.

In junior high I was a huge Kid n Play fan for some reason... listened to all the tapes and watched all the House Party movies. He reminds me of Kid.

Funny I got my shipment of the exact same 4 figures from the set. Is someone out there getting the other 3?!?

Haha! Yeah man! Wayne was so talented. He is missed for sure.

Distribution is so weird. I got Rogue and Cyclops from GameStop online, but they were the only ones in stock at the time. The rest is slatted to come out November 1st from Pulse. I'll hope that date holds. I can wait a few weeks, that's not the end of the world. But, if I find them in the meantime...haha.

My thoughts on the AoA crew:

Iceman - I like the plastic they used for this guy. It's the first translucent figure of Iceman they have done that hasn't felt rubbery and cheap. The joints are all tight and I really like the color even though I'm pretty sure he was not that dark in the comic. In fact, I remember Iceman just being some sort of blobby thing in most panels. The Carnage hands are also a bit weird, but overall, he's cool.

Legion - A great use of Shang-Chi's legs and I think the upper torso used for Sandman and Hydroman. The hair is amazing even though I always think of Static X whenever I see him. I do wish his face was more freakish though. He just looks midly agitated instead of crazed like he is supposed to be. Actually, now thinking about it, it's not the Sandman body because it has the new barbell neck joint and I can't seem to get his head off of it at all.

Rogue - The head seems to sit on the neck a little too high, but other than that, she's great. She has pinless legs, which is pretty awesome and the green coloring works. I'm not a fan of the full yellow body, however, that's the way she was in the comic. Paint apps are great too.

Magneto - I'm a tad disappointed with this one. His helmeted head seems to be a bit too tiny, the hair scratches the purple around his cape, the forgot to paint his waist area below his belt purple, and his cape is quite hard. The cape is actually the biggest annoyance for me as I can deal with the rest of the issues. I just don't know why they chose to make it so freaking hard when the other caps have been more of a soft rubbery material. His little energy accessories seem rather pointless. I'm not sure why they chose to package those with him.

I cancelled my AOA wave, I felt bad but I don't want to have that hanging over me and tying me to things here. I know the distribution is all completely screwed up right now, but it's time to move on and I can't let this one thing hold me back. I hope I find them in the wild or elsewhere eventually.

When I try with Zombie Cap and Nebula, it says "coming soon" and "this item is not yet dated"

EDIT: It appears Carter and Starlord can be ordered, but Cap and Nebula cannot.

The Sandman cometh!

I have a very similar hairstyle and people tell me that also every now and then. But it's more about the strength of the hair gel rather than amount itself. But to achieve that size he more likely used hairspray instead.

Just got the email from Pulse that most of my AoA figures and GI Joe BBQ is delayed until December. Nice.

I got the same email for the retro carded Spiderman 2099 and the metallic Power Rangers.

is hairspray even strong enough to hold that?

Check back once every day or two and you'll eventually catch them.

Former sporter of a 2 foot mohawk here-
Elmer's glue is the only way to go, the blue clear variety is best. They used to make an orange clear variety that was better, but they discontinued it in the early '00s. Dries in minutes with a hairdryer, washes out easliy, and it will stay up for literal days if you're a nasty motherfucker.


Not much fun when it rains, though.

Smart but a bit much for me. Personally I use Moco de Gorila and a blow dryer. It's a very strong gel.

I knew a guy in middle school who used that trick, never worked well for him and always looked like giant flakes of dandruff haha

^ Nice job with the lines... always amazes me how a Spidey figure looks so different with the webs painted in. I am gonna make Zombie Hunter Spidey my default Peter Parker Spidey and keep the retro one carded.

[Archangel]

Hasbro is sending out a ton of delay emails right now, on everything.

I just want to know when they’re going to email me on these Sentinels.

[Nimrod]

So glad I never went in on these Haslab Sentinels. Wonky knees, malfunctioning lights, huge delays, not to mention over scaled & over priced imo. I'm good to go with my 6 3D printed 16' classic Sentinels.

[Spyne98]

Gah! I jinxed myself. Got an email from Pulse. AoA delayed. Time to go looking in stores I guess. Or Amazon.

[Cyclopswc]

I've received 9 emails from Hasbro in the past 2 days about product delays, I got a feeling more are coming...the board's lighting up like Southwest airline's flight status.
