Considering how major retailers are still burning through Arnim Zola & Terrax stock, they will show up eventually. They all have to be sitting in a warehouse someplace.

but...but....Hit Monkey?

lol

Consider how much you like She-Hulk and Hyperion too. If these do hit retail, who's to say that they might not be the revision figures and you'll get Lyra and Sentry instead. (ignoring Protector on purpose there)

Get Archangel now, it'll take longer for it to show up elsewhere and Walmart seems stuck on wave 2.

I wish my LCS ordered stuff like that. I'd ask them to, but I'd feel terrible if they shelf-warmed.

My LCS usually sells ML's by the wave and not individually.

Marvel Select Wolverine - The Wolverine (2013) Figures
Marvel Select Wolverine,new pics, looks a lot better then the original release pic. It has 3 different head sculpts, 3 different hands, normal, bone claws, and metal claws, along with a katana sword.

Captain Nash · 03-16-2013, 02:18 PM

I really didn't think there was a need for another wolverine figure, but I have to say, that's pretty sweet.

Mastersteef · 03-17-2013, 06:06 AM

I apologize if this has been posted about already, but it looks like one of our trusty ol' "overseas sellers" has the 2nd half of the Iron Man 3 BAF wave (sans the BAF pieces obviously) which makes me think maybe we'll see these on shelves sooner than this Fall, Mid-Late Summer mayhaps?....

Ultron:
Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 BAF Iron Monger Ulron Loose Pre | eBay

Mark 42:
Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 BAF Iron Monger Iron Man Mark 4Z Loose Pre | eBay

Iron Patriot (movie):
Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes Loose Pre | eBay

I thought ML Archangel would be an instant buy if I ever saw him, but he kinda looks horrible carded IMO. I mean like... his colors just clash so badly ... dark blue with shiny dark pink... I wonder why they chose to do it that way. I've seen some reviews on youtube and he kinda looks better loose and when you can see his wings though. I just wish he looked more like the MU version. I passed on him at $30... probably will regret it later.

My other LCS is selling ML Archangel for 40. LOL. The rest of that wave is 20 bucks each I think though... kinda feel sorry for my LCS actually, guarantee nobody is going to buy any of the other figs. If it wasn't for that LCS I would have never saw Low Light and other HTF POC Joes and I bought them for only 10 bucks each at the time. I think the previous ML waves had a better overall selection IMO.

Those are his original colors after getting reborn from Apocalypses. This is the best version of Archangel to date with the newly developed wings. You should have picked him up as he is the short packed figure in this wave. Only 1 per case.

Morzilla · 03-18-2013, 11:25 AM

Heading out to Walys in Hialeah, SoFla. Don't know if I'll find anything today but I'll take shots and post later. My wallet's already feeling anxious....."Come on, payday is this friday! And you know that I'm good at paying it back!!".....dam, no change in mood....

1 per case? Man that is just pure evil on Hasbro's part. LOL. Original colors aside... I just wish the pink was more visible. Like how strikingly beautiful his silver design on the SDCC Archangel looks... I wish it looked like that is all.

Went back and bought ML Archangel... the cool thing it was 10% off day so it only cost $28 bucks. This is my very first (and hopefully last, lol) ML fig I ever bought... ever... gonna keep him MOC. Fittingly, MU Archangel was the very first MU fig I ever bought too (bought a 2nd one to keep MOC). Archangel is my man... him and Gambit... and Magneto.

I really like this mold, even if he's kinda giant. I hope they make a brown or tiger stripe version someday. I saw masked Daken at Walmart today and that mold sucks... I don't like the ball hip joint legs... these new legs look much better, especially at this 6" scale where it is more noticeable.

There's a Wolverine series with a a yellow/blue tigerstripe version, which looks amazing, and uses the same mold!!! No brown costume plans yet, but could be done repainting the new one, just repaint the blue brown.
