that new movie action figure of Doc Ock... so how does he put shirts on in the first place when his robot helper arms and that thing on his waist are fused to his body?

The arms knit and sew the shirt, pants, and coat around him, like a 3D printer.

Were a bit of opposites on this wave, except for Justice and PP. Everything in this wave is a win for my collection. AND, FINALLY, Hasbro provided fists for this Namor and my previous two!

They sure did. And there's like zero chance CC would ever get a figure. She played a big role in the OG Thunderbolt series....which Hasbro apparently forgotten existed. Probably why Graviton's never getting made either....much less an actual BAF for Atlas.

They're doing great getting those New Warriors made but it really irks me big time that they gave us half the OG 'Bolts and just stopped....even the recent Moonstone was from the revamped series and look, couldn't even give her the Meteorite look.

Ah well..I'll just be glad we got Songbird, Citizen V and Mach...II? out of it.

I hear your frustration and I’m right there with you regarding the time it has taken to get a complete (mostly complete) T-Bolts team. Especially when you consider that we have Alpha Flight, West Coast Avengers, a couple of X-Force line-ups, (most of) Excalibur, (half of) the Soviet Super Soldiers, and a Warriors team that’s rounding out with brown suit Nova (Marvel Ultimate sub) and this off-brand Namorita. That said, I’m quite certain we’ll get the remainder of a classic T-Bolts squad because we’ve received numerous figs thus far. We’ve already gotten Citizen V, Mach II, Songbird, Moonstone (a couple of them), Cage, Ghost, Cross-Bones, Radioactive Man, Speed Demon, Blizzard, Mac Venom (I think you can count one of those as him – the version with the blue/purple hues?), Shocker, Boomerang, and Mr. Hyde (the bowler hat checks the box as his the T-bolts look). There’s been a few, even if you disagree with the inclusion of some of the characters I’ve named, and Hasbro has put them out semi-consistently. My problem with Hasbro’s T-bolts offerings, as you can see from the list, is that it’s all over the place. Settle on one team and finish it, as more than half of the figures offered haven’t really been what T-Bolt fans are looking for in their collections. Many of them are nice to have but not exactly the droids we’re looking for….

[EvilMonkeyPope]

We'll probably see some more Thunderbolts as slot fillers in the movie wave.

[TheBlueMarvel]

^Most likely.

that new Namor figure. Jeez. Not the kind of Namor i grew up with back then in the early 1990s.

the new Namor figure looks more like a crazy looking Jason Mamoa figure

[TheBlueMarvel]

I remember Namor (and many other heroes at the time) from the 90’s. So much so that I have an omnibus of his title from the period:











Similar to Red Widow (and life, in general), what’s old is new again at the “house of ideas.”

To each their own, but I like this upcoming Namor for a few different reasons. We all go through awkward phases in life, make-believe superheroes included.

"Imperius Rex!"

What's the deal with yet another classic Black Panther???

Evidently Namor wanted to be Lobo almost as badly as Jae Lee wanted to be Simon Bisley back then.

The only figures I want from that wave is Crystar and the Void, I'm just a sucker for figures in translucent plastic.

It’s Hasbro’s game of one-upmanship with the few remaining Toy Biz standouts. Just like MODOK, Giant Man, Mysterio, Shocker, etc, gold gilded Panther was a remaining highwater mark fig for Toy Biz and Hasbro is attempting to erase it from memory. The look is from the very popular Chris Priest run on the book and many collectors have been requesting it. I haven’t called for one, but I am a fan of the book and the look and am happy to get this. It’s a deep cut that may go unrecognized by many collectors.

That's a funny deep comic-head joke. Who didn't want to be Lobo or Bisley in the 90's?

Interesting. That explains why it looks nothing like the Jack Kirby costume, which is what I consider to be classic. The one that came out last year was pretty damn close.

Kirby's version is the definitive 'classic' look for Panther. However, the look from the Priest/Texeria run is the 'modern-classic' given the popularity of the run. Toy Biz played a significant role in cementing it as an iconic look.

Just spotted rows of Fury, Kingpin, & Scarlet Witch at Target. Couldn't pass on Wanda, but left the rest.

The 2018 BAF Venom from the first dedicated Venom wave is definitely the Mac version. He's got the hulking frame, his version of the spider, the purple hues, and the separated claw-toes.

Thanks for the confirmation. I can't keep up with all the Venoms, or their figures...

EDIT: But wait, I just checked the deluxe and it also has clawed toes. Is that an error?

It's possible that some artists post-Mac have given other Venoms the toes too, but the easiest explanation is just that the deluxe is a direct repaint of the BAF so it was easier to not make any sculpt adjustments.

I should've brought this up yesterday, but what do people make of the poll that Red Widow won, about the character who was released as just a head previously?

Assuming it's X-Factor Wolfsbane, but it could be Lilandra instead since she's rumored to be in a Wolverine 2 pack. Madcap is another but unlikely. Is there anyone else that fits that?
