Just ordered the new X-Men wave and should have it in a few days. Some great pics in this thread of those figures. Mostly looking forward to Juggernaut and Deadpool.

They could easily both be Nova, perhaps the other characters will just have to call Rich Nova Prime which is technically his proper title. Nova is one of the few heroes that actually already has a system in place to account for there being multiple Novas serving the corps. Pretty much like how there are many Green Lanterns at once but actually with the Nova Corps it's easier to explain as they aren't sector specific.

The reason i posted thst was because i remembered hearing you saying your a fan of his, i also know a couple others are as well.

Basically the way i've been reading it, Marvel plains on having more then 2 of each title come october. Example richard rider Nova and sam wilson, new iron man riri williams and infamous iron man doctor doom, and 2 thors jane foster thor and Odinson thor... while i felt they should have done something like this since the beginning. Let's see how it rolls.

I don't think it's a bad move for Marvel. Personally, I would rather read about Richard Rider than Sam Alexander. Richard was this awesome space cop fighting space threats. Sam (to me at least) is a kid trying to balance life as a super hero and life as a teen. Granted he has some cool moments but Spider-Man went through that too. I've read those stories hundreds of times. I don't need to read it again. Readers can pick and choose which characters they want to read and that's good. Instead of forcing change down our throats, we can stick with the old stand by guys or choose to read about these new representations.
But in a year, Marvel will launch all new number 1's again and this whole thing won't matter.

[Captain Nash]

Thank you to the people who recommended Uncanny X-Men by Cullen Bunn. It is FANTASTIC! As much as I didn't want to retread on my promise to not read anything new by Marvel, it seems fitting to stick with this one book, it is after all the book that started it all for me in Marvel proper. And just one book isn't bad.

I read all nine issues yesterday. Bunn clearly has a grasp on something I long felt was missing from Marvel - continuity, and he has brought several characters forth that we haven't heard from in a while (to my knowledge.) To me it's literally been the best X-Men story/arc/run since Second Coming, excepting Remember's Uncanny X-Force and specifically the Dark Angel Saga. I remember thinking when I saw the promos that it was such an odd line up for UXM, more like X-Force, but you know what? It works, it's all a great line up but would be better if you removed Fantomex.

So I just wanted say thanks for the recommends. And to tie this into Marvel Legends I really feel we need a Monet now so that we can make this team, she's the only one missing if you count by TB and Hasbro.

Edit: My brain is not as awake as my fingers...typos occur.

Oooh, I'm so glad you're enjoying it, Nash! Doesn't Bunn ebb with genuine affection for these characters? He's also writing the Civil War tie-in and, as many others have pointed out, he's managed to write Storm and Nightcrawler ten times better than Lemire has in ten issues of EXM. In his defence, I don't think Lemire writes a bad Storm by any means, but she doesn't do.. much.

I've been campaigning for a Monet figure since her tenure in X-Factor. The Moonstone body was made for her!

Also, yes, unfortunately Fantomex is in UXM... but that fight in #8 with Betsy was pretty spectacular, right?

Hasbro SDCC 2016 Exclusive Marvel Legends Enchantress The Raft Loose Comic Con | eBay


She's going for waaaaay more than the other figures from the set

Dang...always in cali too, it's like the person grabbed the figures right off the pallet where they're getting shipped too.

[Captain Nash]

Yeah I want the Enchantress bad but I'm not paying $100 right at this moment (it's possible I may later on if I don't snag a set though.) But I'm not even sure they're completely reliable to be in hand. No way I'm paying $100 for something that, in my mind, may or may not even be stocked.

Now if they wanna show me this after the convention, when I know they've got it in hand for sure, then yes, then we'll talk.

[305Batman]

So is there anywhere online to order Wolverine at retail prices?

Your best bet is to have pre ordered it or to luck up and find them in store because people are asking outrageous prices for these! Which is somewhat irritating.

[3233rafael]

I call this one...

X-Men vs The Avengers...Battle of Machu Picchu

Lol...folks, just ignore me! I'm on vacation and my kids went to an all day event/party @ one of those party places full of indoor trampolines.

Definitely, I have Misty Knight, Hellcat, Namor, Dr. Strange and Bizzard on the way. I'd like to get a Hulk and an Iron Man, Black Panther, Wonder Man, Capt. Britain. I need to replace my Morbius, he took a tumble off the shelf and the leg bar snapped. I also have customs of Psylocke, She-Hulk and Storm in the works

One-thousand per cent agree. Show me the Enchantress, I'll show the money...

I'm hoping my LCS will get a couple sets in London, I only want the lady, Dreadknight, and Killgrave, but if the set is reasonable, I'll get it and sell the rest.

Thought the same. I despise this money grabbers. Have it, and I hope you choke (to the scalpers). I always got all the figures I wanted, if I am patient enough. Luckily, I collect different properties, so I'm always excited about something else ( and more affordable), and certainly not rush (that much).

I can get Morbius fairly easy, if you need him. They have several in my LCS in London.

Happy to pick you one up.

@ariellagunas, I believe you asked for help regarding posting pictures a couple of days ago? If you still need some assistance, most of us utilise an image-hosting website, such as Photobucket or TinyPic!

You've picked some good ones to get! Hellcat really surprised me, since I wasn't too fussed regarding her figure, but she turned out to be one of my favourites last year. Fair warning about Misty, her legs may collapse on themselves.. Whoever decided that solid plastic for hair and gummy plastic for legs was a good idea, get rid of 'em.

Oh and, nice custom ideas! Can I ask who you're ordering them from, or are you making them yourself? Either way, you should definitely post pictures when they're complete.

[ariellagunas]

So far of the new stuff, I got:
Namor
Captain America Sam Wilson
Vision
Kate Bishop
Ashley Barton
Ultimate Spider-man
Black Panther MCU
Scourge (yes, I caved in)
Scarlet Witch MCU
Electro
Phoenix,
And Kitty.
Havok, Silk and Rogue are on their way.
I still need to get Iceman, Hobgoblin, Deadpool, Wolverine, Eel, Wonder Man and Captain Britain, plus Enchantress, Purple Man and Dreadknight

Had to clear two shelves so I can have two for X-men and two for Avengers.
It's fun, updating your figures shelves. I only do it twice a year, since I have 11 cabinets filled with all sorts of different stuff. Such fun ( when I get the time).

Thank you Von Pooten. I get it. Gotta update myself! Haha. Ok so I need yet another account to host my photos, so I can access for posting. It's way too complicated for me, but once I get a couple hours, i will figure it out. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.
And I agree with you. Hellcat and Misty are must for old timer fans like me, but their legs are a nightmare to make them stand. Crap plastic. Thou I love that they wer made at all, but still no excuse. Also, trying to find a non-derpy eyed Misty, was hard. I have the impression that the new Rogue might also suffer from this. Still haven't got mine, but I'm praying my Rogue is not too bad....
Thanks again.

[ariellagunas]

Got Kitty today. Love her. Got her from Thailand, and it was quick etc.
Lockheed is super cute. Kitty's face is lovely, and I'm very happy with her. A lot of love went into this figure. I only wish, the ponytail was articulated, to add more flow, as the dragon goes on the right shoulder, it would be nice if the hair could flow in the opposite direction.
But hey, she's one of my fav X-men, and I loved the old one, but that one had some several problems. This one, looks and feels lovely and worthy.

[ariellagunas]

And...I got also Phoenix.

My first reaction was disappointment. I wasn't hoping a lot, but she just felt as cheap, as Kitty felt expensive. I guess is the budget thing per wave.
First, from the pictures I knew the hair was the same sculpt as the Jean Grey before, thou Phoenix has far bigger, luxurious hair that forms a stella.
Second, she has wedges instead of heels, which she actually had in the Phoenix saga. Emma had heels (which were a pain) but most Phoenix collectors will place her floating. So the heels would not mind, for standing poses.
Then the sash. I falls on her crotch. It's Hellcats basically. Phoenix sash never felt on her crotch. Ever.
And most dissapointing of it all, it's the green. The character had shiny green almost lime. This figure has dirty emerald green. It looks, well, dirty and cheap.
My figure had a chin tag, which my wonderful beautician got rid off.
The pluses are that the hair has a lovely wash. The face looks a bit more evil, the neck joint is kind of strange, but then I realised it allows her for more posing, so that's great.
Finally, she photographs well, with flash. And looks a lot mot stylised in the Phoenix effect from the Marvel Select Phoenix.
So kind of bittersweet. But will look great on the background of my 80's X-men.

Yay, I'll happily take it. Enchantress (and movie Sif) are at the top of my want list, so I'll gladly wait and take my chances at mass release with that kind of a tidbit.
