@rafael Cheers! It's an eclectic mix of characters, but they seem to work quite well together.

That would be Moonstone! She was a San Diego exclusive in 2013, so I'm afraid she's pretty pricey to pick up now. Not impossible, though!

I've also realised that the way my Pietro's posed is eerily similar to how you did yours in the Brotherhood shots. There are only so many ways to pose a speedster!

Well shit, I got a bug up my ass while I was at work and went back to TRU on the way home to get the other 3 figures and the guy who comes with the other Red Skull leg was gone. I did pick up Cottonmouth and Whirlwind though.

Cottonmouth uses the same body as the recent Venom and Tigershark so you know what to expect. The paint job is decent for everything that is not white. The white paint is once again a single coat and shows through. Also, his hands pop out way too easily even though he doesn't come with alternate hands.

Whirlwind, on the other hand, is badass. There is not a single paint flaw on him and the saws on his hands are detachable.

Oh, and I found the Toy Biz Red Skull body I had so I put the new head on him and it looks so damn goofy.

Ehhhh.... I dunno if I'd call that a steal, considering Dark Wolverine, White Tiger and Cap'n Marvel (assuming you mean the Carol Danvers one) are still stinking up the pegs at several stores near me. If it was more like $100, AND the figures came with all their accessories and/or BAF pieces, that'd be a bit better, but still not a "steal"

Pretty sure that the Sharon and Medusa heads are both the unreleased Rogue one.

While she's not the "official" Jean, I'm loving what they are doing with the character.

I was thinking that Deadpool was going for a lot more than what he is. Did all of the knock offs drive the prices down? I honestly hate that figure so I don't look at prices often.

I mean, if you don't have the figures its not bad, but steal was poor choice of words on my part.

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Von
No worries man, there are no copyrights on fun! We obviously think alike! Great minds and such... lol

I was actually worried that my 90's Storm pose was similar to yours after you complimented me on it! hahaha! As far as the Cap pics, I just took a small reprieve from X-stuff to take some quick pics of the Cap wave. Nothing fancy, trust me. I want to get back to exploring my X-figs. I realize I have neglected them. FYI I just purchased a variant Quicksilver so I can do a proper Pietro and Wanda Bro'hood pic lol



@Chuck

Sorry about your mishap, I know your pain. While doing these recent X-pics, my TB ML series 8 Iceman's crotch piece disintegrated (that didn't sound good). Not as expensive a loss as your experience, but it'll cost me $30 at least for a replacement and this is the second time a series 8 Iceman has done this to me...something about that fig makes it prone to crumbling, I think it's the grade of translucent plastic.

S'okay, I just get ornery about having to pay more than retail for figures, especially if they're relatively new! (I'm a grumpy young man XD )

I haven't found a single review that mentions it.

It goes all the way up. You can always do the boil and pop method.

My red version Iron Fist and white Sasquatch had the same thing happen. Their crotch piece just came undone and their legs have fallen out. I'm not sure if I'll bother rebuying them, I just hope this doesn't happen to any of my other legends.

Damn it, thank you for the info.

[Black Arbor]

Not sure if anyone's seen it, and I'll leave out the specifics for people who wish to remain spoiler free, but does anyone know if the hoodie that was released recently with the unique spider-man design to it is indicative of how he'll look in Civil War? I've heard that it's supposedly accurate, and if so I'm gonna be needing that figure

[jmurray90720]

Picked up Dr. Strange at Walgreens. The Hulkbuster is going to be awesome!!!

[warmachine6]

i'm waiting of the dr strange movie wave to all you posting about him

I read it was just a design and not how he will look. I could be wrong.

- Jean is dead, and defying all comics laws, has remained so, while her younger counterpart is exploring a brand-new life as her own person. Let's not go digging up the corpse when the writers have actively avoided it themselves.

- Scott's been a mutant jackass for years

Emma is a shell of what she used to be. When she got with Scott she was practically ripped of all of her personality and is essentially no longer some hard ass, but a housewife with funny bitchy quips. She and Scott needed to separate.

Old Jean grey could come back at any time, she's "putting all of her pieces back together", I'm actually shocked it's taken so long for this. She can clearly co-exist with Young Jean, and I bet that will be a storyline down the road if the "Dead No More" teaser isn't her.

I am in the same boat waiting on figures, it seems like we are all constantly waiting on more haha. Most notably I'm hanging on the new Rogue, so I can finally replicate this stupendous Russell Dauterman drawing!



If you add Psylocke and Iceman, this is my goal for a 90's set up. (We could also use a new Gambit, with a fabric coat! PLEASE Hasbro, no more of that wretched Fury buck)

Great collection, those are the best figures of last year for sure!

[warmachine6]

Those jubilee ear rings look highly inspired by London undergrounds logo [we have a line called the 'Jubilee line']

[Dr Kain]

Actually, that Sharon head can't be completely like the Rogue one as it doesn't even fit onto the Black Widow body.

You know, I'm not at all an X-Men fan these days, but if they were to do the main characters in their 90s costumes, I might bite.

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Von

I'm tired of waiting, I can just update any pic I take of old TB Rogue when the new one comes out.







Scourge, or "Demolition Man," is not a new buck from what I can tell. It appears to be a re-purposed MCU Electro buck. This isn't a terrible thing because that Electro buck was pretty cool (IMO) and the retool looks just as good (better, IMHO).

As for Taskmaster, the brand new limbs are earmarked for Dr Doom...again, IMO. Taskmaster is fantastic and the standout fig of the wave, for me. My old Taskmaster is officially retired and relegated to retro pics from here on out. Bring on DOOM!!

Whirlwind is very pose friendly and on that larger-in-between buck that we saw with Grim Reaper...sidenote: I have to look at all the figs that use this buck to see how similar or dissimilar they are. The fig is everything I wanted it to be, except, I would have preferred fists.

Cottonmouth, great face sculpt, but beyond that...nothing to write home about. He'll only come into perspective if the rest of the Serpent Society gets made (most notably: King Cobra, Asp, Death Adder, Sidewinder, Anaconda, Black Mamba, Diamondback, and Princess Python...I can't see many of these characters actually getting made. King Cobra for a Spidey-line maybe...would be great to get Cobra and Mr. Hyde as a 2pk of Spidey foes...

Mocking bird is new buck also. The fig seems to be as tall as Beetle and about as lithe. Her head is proportional to her body and I'm happy to report that those initial pictures were as inaccurate as I had anticipated they would be. I like the fig a great deal and it may be my second or third most favorite of the wave.

...and Onslaught is a work in progress, but looks great so far...posing that thing will be interesting. Some of the figs greatest aspects are covered up or hindered by the pauldrons on the shoulders.

[Captain Nash]

after several good comments about Whirlwind i may have to end up getting him. Taskmaster also is cool but I think I could still pass on that. Captain America is a maybe. Mockingbird I've already ordered....the rest I can totally do without.

@TBM regarding the Serpent Society, some of those would be cool. I don't know who all of them are but any less prominent villain is always a good thing. I'd particularly like Black Mamba, even though the only story I've read with her in it is a Thunderbolts story. Diamondback is actually one I could see getting made.

Glad to hear that you're mostly satisfied with the wave, TBM. I'm personally looking forward to Whirlwind, Mockingbird, and Taskmaster (god, that Udon-styled head pushed me over the moon), but it's good to know that the other figures are pretty nice standouts.

Also, seriously, cannot wait for Onslaught. Even if his articulation is impaired, I don't care. Getting heavily into comics around the Onslaught crossover, plus spending years playing Marvel vs. Capcom have given me an intense love of that design.

I'm still mad at Hasbro for making Red Onslaught before the actual Onslaught. Since I want literally none of the figures in this wave I'll have to wait for both ebay and Rogue's release to try getting a proper Onslaught toy.

[Spyne98]

Hey BlueMarvel, I have an odd request.
Do you know if the Superior Venom's head (if you have him) will fit on the Scourge body?

i just offered the seller 100.00 and he accepted...i figure...i liked all of them...didn't have any of them..and that moonstar was going for 80.00 alone...hopefully it was a decent deal...seems like it..

THANKS ZEND!!!
