I think this is probably the way they would do it. It could be done similar to the "build-a-wing" figures. I think they could split the torso and head in half (front and back) so that Armor could be put inside.

My Excalibur set was shipped today.

I also got a new Exteme Set building to take pictures of my stuff with:





Putting the rooftops together was way more complicated than it needed to be. It was even worse than the warehouse one due to how much thinner they were. I ended up having to use tape all around the thing to at least keep it from splitting apart. That aside, I love the stairwell on the side as I'll be able to do some cool battle scenes with that. I really need to find some sort of hard base to set both buildings on though.

Mattel not doing Granny is the biggest disappointment ever from them, even moreso than their lack of really doing the Flash Rogues.

Goddamn am I going to derail this thread, but boy are you speaking my language right now. DCUC’s early Fourth World focus was one of its best attributes. My enthusiasm for the line started to wane when that trend ceased. I was really pulling for the Forever People, since to my memory, no one has ever made figures of them.

More Flash rogues was one of my other greatest hopes from the line. I think nearly as frustrating as how few we got was that one of the only ones we DID get (Captain Boomerang) was in a lame-assed modern costume. After classic Boomerang, my biggest want would have been Golden Glider.

To bring this back to Marvel Legends, I really appreciate how basically every hero/ team we have has at least some extent of a rogue?s gallery portrayed. Who do you think is the most lacking in this regard? Personally, I would say the Hulk.

Count me in for getting Armor somehow. That would be awesome, even if it might be hard to do.
I got shipping confirmation from Pulse for Spider-Man 2099 and AoA Sabertooth. I'll be happy to complete Colossus. It's been so weird getting the new AoA wave in bits and pieces, but whatever. I'll just be happy to have them in hand!

Easiest- if you're up for a little painting is grabbing an 8x4 piece of pink insulation foal (foamular) cutting it to your city size, roll a ball of foil (or whatever texture you like) all over it, paint it black, then drybrush grey... instant asphalt. (or grab a bunch of the 2x2 pieces and lay them out and do the same thing...) Or you could try gaming mats that have pre-printed details on them (made for 18mm usually but generic 'hanger' or 'space craters' will work at any scale) Those mats can get pretty big and are made of neoprene. They do tend to get $$$ the bigger you go...

I wanted an entire Silver/Bronze Age Flash subline.

Hulk has Leader, Abomination, and Xenmu though.

For D class heroes, Morbius. They haven't done a single one of his villains. For more like B level heroes, Doctor Strange as Dormammu has been his only adversary to get a figure.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, thanks for trying to be helpful, but that's above my skill level.

I'll look into those gaming mats after my Jan 20th paycheck though.

Sure, but damn do I want some U-Foes. I think the challenge is that so much of his rogue?s gallery is BAF sized. Good point about Strange. Feels like Nightmare or Mordo are long overdue at this point. Who would you want to see for a Morbius villain? I can?t say I?ve really read any Morbius comics, so I don?t know his foes well (or at all, as it were).

Of your Flash sub-line idea, that would have been great. I?ve often thought of how different DCUC would have looked with ?themed waves? like ML. I think the advantage to themed waves is that for characters lucky enough to have a wave (Spidey, X-Men) you get deep into their friends & foes), while the downside is that you?re less likely to get secondary heroes (Luke Cage stands out for me), and even less likely to see any of their villains (aforementioned Morbius or Doctor Strange).

In other news, my Excalibur set finally shipped! To borrow a phrase, “hip hip!”

Yeah, I've got my eye on that set, but it's still going to be a cardboard base. I'm looking for something harder I can put them on as opposed to the carpet.

The biggest threat from the 90s comics was Basilisk.



However, the comics from the 70s also had a demonic cult called Demon Fire that they could pull from on top of an eye creature deemed Helleyes.

Never seen him before, but it’s a cool design that I’d welcome a figure of.

The label for mine created yesterday, and I figured, oh good now I have an actual number I can watch go nowhere! But it actually did ship this morning and it is supposed to be delivered by tomorrow. We'll see, but that was certainly unexpected.

[jwyss234]

Just got an email from Pulse saying that they will begin charging for the clear Sue Storm on December 16.

[Sataninjaku]

Excalibur just showed up, and I absolutely love it. I know people love to nitpick Shadowcat's hair- I ain't that guy. Bring on Rachel.


In other news, X-Force appears to be shipping early, December 16th is the new estimate. It would appear as though the estimates have been way far out as a buffer against backlash due to the shipping clusterfuck. Can't wait!!


Upon edit, it is rather shitty to be made aware of a surprise early charge literally the same day that I drop nearly $500 for two Sky Strikers that I won't see for a year and a half- you're welcome for all of the support, Hasbro!

Oh well.

[Nutimus Prime]

Hasbro also let me know I have 3 preorders hitting early on the same day, December 16. It'll be a good Xmas for Transformers and Marvel Legends at least lol.

[Dr Kain]

Jesus, first Excalibur now X-Force? I don't have the budget for this!!!

[Veronica Mars]

Just got my Excalibur 3 pack today. Way better on hand though I worry Meggan is going to have the same issue as Medusa. Is the Captain Britain on a new buck? It's not Hyperion or Omega Red, but I can't put my finger on it.

[Bo Ttef]

Another thought on armor... looking at Fortnite Ripply, they could just do a large clear figure where only her head and torso are actually visible inside and the arms and legs are darker translucent plastic hiding the fact they're isn't normal size kind limbs inside. If it's done in a way that the color fades where you can see her body out could work... The helmet could come off like on Rippley so you could move the head around...

[Bo Ttef]

In other Fortnite news- The Midas Rex figure may be the closest thing we ever get to Purifiers

Not gonna lie, stolen from Reddit.

This is interesting as well: https://build-a-wave.com

Also, The Hood and Arcade are dirt cheap on Amazon right now.

[Dr Kain]

Why is it always Hood and Arcade? They need to put the AIM Scientist on sale already!

The only figures on sale lately are the ones no one wants.

Which is weird for Arcade given how great an X-Men villain he is.

However, I seen more AIM Scientists collecting dust at Gamestop than any other villain from the wave. In fact, no GS has Arcade, Deathstrike, Dormammu, or Red Skull.

Oh man that's cool! I might have to try that out. I hope no one makes something and says it's real lol.
I got notice that the X-Force set is shipping soon. I'm so excited about that! I just need Syrin and Feral now to complete that team. I love me some X-Force!
