Maybe Purple Man though, that would be cool.

No to many people in season 1. Froggy, Stick and hand ninja clan or whatever they are called. The reporter guy named Ben Urich. I am really hoping for a new Kingpin BAF also. Season 2 has Pusnisher and Elektra in it

Vincent D'Onorfio (sp?) was amazing as Kingpin. Not the biggest guy but I think they settled for talent over size. YOu should really just watch it for him.

A lot of characters appeared or were referenced in some way, including Karen Page, Night Nurse, Elektra, Ben Urich, The Owl, Kingpin's right hand man Wesley, Gladiator, Stick, Stone, the Hand, and a blink and you'll miss it tie-in to what appears to be Spider-man (who can sorta be spotted in a picture accompanying a newspaper clipping on Ben Urich's wall.)

The Kingpin also is seriously the best villain in the MCU right now. Fact. Not only is he seriously evil, but he is also one you can both sympathize and empathize with. It's a huge credit to the show's writers.

the writing...his acting....is what really makes that show...I loved it...and because of us being able to "sympathize and empathize" I don't know if I could quite call him...evil....
a matter of perspective perhaps....

If i can stay up that damn late tonight...i'll start on JJ, at midnight....

Yessss! I know the odds are slim, but I would love, even if it was a retailer exclusive, a pack with Matt and Foggy (Karen can come too). Avocados at Law!

But yeah, the highlights for me would be a Kingpin, 1st Costume Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and the Purple Man.

Not sure I follow you about the shoehorned comment. Unless I am mistaken, her first appearance was in the Alias Marvel Max series from Bendis. Granted he stuck her inside the Spider-Man continuity which was well, Bendis-like. I mean seriously, how many pre-hero characters were present at the spider bite now? At least 2 I can name offhand besides Spidey himself.

I can appreciate where Nash is coming from, I'm not a fan either. For a long time, she was largely written as "some super-chick that Luke Cage knocked up." Almost an "afterthought" that Luke even referred to in ways that made her seem like a "nagging ball & chain" trope. At least, that's how it struck me when reading The Avengers.

I'm a little surprised that Marvel/Netfix didn't go with a more established or powerfully written female lead for a series. I guess it makes sense from the perspective that a character with less backstory allows producers and writers to proceed unfettered. An amorphous entity that allows them to "create" whatever they need. Did Jessica even have a known superhero name early on? I'm still not even clear on what her powers are or their limitations.

I'm not complaining, nor am I implying that the show won't be decent/good. I just don't feel like I know who she is or what she's about years following her introduction and having the benefit of reading a few things involving her.

I don't know man...the things Wilson Fisk can do with a car door...I'd say that's pretty evil. Lol.

$60= Digital Comic Subscription ($5 Dollars a Month)

I have the subscription and it has already paid for itself. I actually use it every day and read old comics in my downtime. I originally only signed up for the figure, but I have since found the comic subscription to be the true gem of the deal.

I think that the subscription is a pretty good deal, I was talking more of ebay prices which are insane (of course just for the figure), I'm still contemplating getting the subscription. I wanted to catch up to the old 90's Ghost Rider, Silver Sable, Silver Surfer, etc comics I used to read. I have found some of them on ebay, but seems like this way would be much easier to find.

I'd like to see the SDCC Luke redone without the gauntlets and Thunderbolts logo.

Daredevil Wave/

01 Netflix Daredevil
02 Elektra (on the newer Spider-Woman buck)
03 Bullseye (on Bucky-Cap buck)
04 Classic Punisher (on new Grim Reaper buck)
05 Shadowland Daredevil
06 Hand Ninja
07 Owl

Kingpin B-A-F

Captain Nash · 11-20-2015, 08:46 AM

Regarding daredevil waves, it would be great to get a Typhoid Mary in with this as well, even though it appears she hasn't made an appearance in the series yet. Maybe throw it out as an offering to comic book fans.

warmachine6 · 11-20-2015, 09:02 AM

@BADMOON yeah wouldn't mind that for Luke cage , i want a street version type

It really surprised me how cool that Vision is in hand. He looks great with Scarlet Witch (I have him propped on Hulk's shoulder behind her so it sorta looks like he's flying/phasing through Hulk. Black lights also love him! My only gripe is some of the joints are a bit loose.

Marvel Legends RARE Unreleased Exclusive Blade Low $6 Start Look | eBay

...is it real, or Chinabay with a custom head cast?

I wasn't feeling Sticky Fingaz as Blade or the look that came with him....but I must say that whatever this is, cancelled ML or bogus custom, it's a better use of that MCU Nick Fury/Punisher buck...
