I just pre-ordered the X-Men case from BBTS yesterday morning, and now I'm already drooling over that Punisher. Maybe I need to just have my paychecks direct deposited to Hasbro at this point.

Hear hear! I am with you on that one brother!

Glad I'm not the only one. I have said forever that they need get rid of Singer. Once the novelty of seeing the X-Men on the screen wears off, it is really obvious just how bad his movies really are. Still trying to decide if I want to see Apocalypse. Without Vaughn to reel him in, it sounds like Singer is back in epic cluster fashion.

Agreed. I would love a Checchetto style version with the beard and the bandages. Slowly working on a custom in that style.

Marvel still has to approve anything so the likelihood that they approve figures for the movies guys is slim to none. I think the Deadpool and Wolverine are one off figures they approve with a movie likeness for Hot Toys since it's such a small group of collectors and not a mass retail deal.

Thanx a lot for the info, i was totally unaware of this one & of this manufacturer, & it looks simply perfect. I'm ordering it as soon as I have the €€!!

Good deal. Oh I forgot to say but I've mentioned it here before. The actor has to approve his likeness to the company so they can produce a figure. Fassbender has said "no way in hell" a few times about a figure of him being done so that's really the only reason the unlicensed figure can be made, cause they they didn't ask him or Marvel. I don't know how these companies get away with it.

Just wait until they unveil more crap at/for SDCC. I need to get a second job or start selling some of the older figs off.

I hear that. I am sure we'll see the full waves for the CA: CW wave 3 and Spider-Man, as well as Dr. Strange and presumably now the second X-wave. What else do we think we might see?

I thought maybe GOTG 2 and Thor Ragnarok early views, but that was before the rumors of a second X-Wave. Not so sure anymore.

man i hear people say that a lot ....i wouldn't sell shit i like...to buy more shit i like !!! it kinda doesn't make sense to me.
i actually DO have a second job but it's REALLY flexible. So I actually DO go out and work and make more loot when I know there is stuff coming out i want. Like now I really need to get some hours in THIS month because I pre-ordered those 3 waves.

Our day will come! A 'Heralds of Galactus' set is in the works! Morg, Tyrant, Stardust, Firelord, Air-walker, Alpha-Ray, The Fallen One, Red Shift, Nova...and of course, Surfer are all in the works. Yeah, I wish...

I never read that particular run for Punisher and had to google the images...I'd take that face over the planned version in a heartbeat! I was thinking more of JRJR's time on War Zone, which featured Frank's 'badly broken-nose' look...I know...no one likes JRJR anymore, but me

...it's an emoji night...apparently.

I cant believe Spider-B***h is getting a figure.

becareful now....

yea i thought the same... you would have figured they would have put a more popular female spidey character in it or even just someone else from the spider verse/universe whatever you want to call it.

With the NEW NEW Cap wave, does anyone know whos in that wave? i heard captain britain, a new cap, eel and who else? whos the BAF ?

[Starlord67]

Could the BAF be Abomination that was previously revealed? I have heard Wonder Man might be making an appearance.

According to Dorkside, the wave in its entirety is Captain Britain, Secret Wars Cap, Eel, MCU Scarlet Witch, Crossbones and Iron Skull. Not sure what the BAF would be; Abomination wouldn't be a bad guess.

Leading theory: In the Avengers Assemble cartoon, Red Skull hijacks and modifies an Iron Man suit for his personal use.

I don't think we're gonna see anything "reveals" so to speak. They generally show what's gonna be released til the end of the year/beginning of the new year. Between X-Men, Spider-Man 2, Civil War 3, Doctor Strange and possibly another x-men I can't see any new reveals til toyfair.

I think we'll get reveals of another Amazon, Target, EE, and Walgreens exclusive.

[Lufaverde]

I enjoy avengers assemble but not that particular story arc...

[Lufaverde]

Can I just say that I am really disappointed about DC Icons, I never thought I would say this but I almost wish Hasbro could get a deal to do DC characters... How is DC gonna slap us in the face for not conforming to the 6in scale and then making them "there own 1/12 scale" in kind of makes me MAD!

[warmachine6]

the only good coming out the iron skull is we might get a decent head sculpt..
EDIT, What are the chances of them making a Siryn Figure , was going to make a custom but not sure

For me older figs get recycled into customs. It is kind of an endless cycle....like marriage.

[donmeca2020]

Finally saw pics of electro, he's coming with both classic masked head and a modern one.

I'm going to say not very good. Which is a shame as I'd really like to see her done. She has never had a single figure at all (if you don't count statue figurines)
