Got some pics right here:

Archangel:


Bucky:


I realize that I might sound nitpicky, but Archangel is supposed to have a spandex suit, and and when there's that sudden stop between smooth lower leg and wrinkly shoe, that throws it off for me, plus Hasbro just has this thing about them where they get things 99% right... and then sh*t the bed with the other 1% ( Big Time Spidey's oversized noggin and hand, Drax's super-tight pants that are somehow loose below the knee, Commander Roger's height, almost all of their Iron Men are shrimpy, etc...)

What about the hand problem you mentioned?
The Boot issue you have is IMO pretty insignificant and what I see on the hands is well the same. Left and is open fist for holding a bat, crowbar, etc. and the right hand is molded to hold a Firearm.

Not really at all. The picture however was plenty.

Oh, no, the hand thing I mentioned was about the upcoming Iron Fist figure. I meant it as another example of bad reuse, not as saying there was a problem with MY Archangel's hands. Sorry 'bout the misunderstanding.

Neither I guess. My friend sells them on eBay and he has like 4 cases. So I go one from him. I did go by my Target today to get some groceries and they did have them. Not Archangel but Cap. and the others of the Hit Monkey Series.

I really don't see a problem. Generally, even spandex suits have boots or some similar type of footwear and it will wrinkle up when the toes are flexed.

Can't say I ever wrote a figure off because of their feet, but to each their own I guess.

I see what he is saying the leathery look on the shoe/boot

.....Ohhhh nice!! well if you did see Cap + others then that means that.....wait. is it me or did the supposed wave 3 with Punisher, Doom, US Agent, etal came out already and sold out like in one day?? Cuz I've yet to see these on the shelves ANYWHERE (tru/wm/trgt) and what's being placed now days is the IM3, Ultimate SM, and a FEW of the DC 52 figures.....!!!

Thanks fellas! Yea I could wait to open this set as soon as I got it. Archangel is just amazing and Wolverines claws are fantastic. Psylocke is such an improvement over her toybiz counterpart IMHO. Putting this set together is a sight to behold in person. That McFarlane Spidey pic looks awesome man.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/321076322047?...84.m1423.l2649 Damn... that's a lot of $$, anybody actually own this? This is from the same series that has the extremely rare Annihuls figure.

[wolverine2281]

Only one I know is SolidSnake who had one

[Black Arbor]

Who would want one, except for completists who can't help themselves? It's a boring figure from a so-so movie, and the only good thing is that it comes with a motocross bike, and even that's pointless if you're never gonna take it out of the package, and I'm positive whoever wins won't.

I'd buy it, if I saw it cheap, but not $800, it brings a fuck ton of $$ because less then 10-20 are known to exist. Loose the figure alone is $100+ on ebay. There are a few super rare gems, such as silver shirt luke cage, a see through pheonix and psylocke variant that have less then 10 made, Solidsnake owns 1 of each lol.

I agree the figure looks lame.

I think the part that saddens me the most is that there are people out there who need this figure that bad and have the cash to cough up for it. I mean, I like DC Universe Classics, yes, but I hardly have a full collection: Just the Bat-family and villains, and about thirty or so other characters I like. But when people start spending more than I make from several paychecks (yeah, my job sucks) on a toy, I think they have a completist problem. I say that 'cause I don't think there has even been someone who just thought "hey, I really like that Johnny Storm, and should pick him up." This is only for people who NEED a complete collection.

Also, does Solidsnake have a deal with the Devil or something? It seems like he has all the figures never available at mass market.
