Also decided to do pic of my Top 20 Favorite Legends. Most of these figures came out this year but what can I say? Hasbro killed it this year. I'm probably going to end up fitting Archangel (yes, I managed to snag an Archangel last night!) and Nightcrawler into there somewhere once I get them in hand.

I don't know if Hasbro, for all the amazing things it has done with the line, will ever be able to make a better BAF than that Apocalypse. I mean, it is just the cheese's whiz.

I've only owned it for a week, but yeah, this thing is incredible just going off sheer size alone.

It was with that wave that I got into collecting legends (aside from one or two beforehand). Because of that figure to be specific. I saw that out there and was like, Damn. I cannot pass this up. And every since then my wallet has been bleeding money.

Even though I don't have the whole wave, my first ML figure was the Astonishing Wolverine (masked version) who came with on of Apocalyps's legs. I still hope to someday get the whole figure assembled even if Hasbro or DST puts out a new one.

Searched around my area today and only saw two icemen...no deadpools or punishers.

That was probably the best Wolverine Hasbro did.

Ooops I just realized I "lied". Got confused. Age you know? The Sentinels series wave 10 is the one I got interested and completed that BAF. But the Apocalypse series wave 12 was the one that took me in hook line and sinker.

For some reason I had a brain fart and had the timing of the two waves backwards. I just remember being so impressed by the big A.

New Arrivals Today.

Man he is just gross. Do you have a Wasp figure? You could recreate the scene from Ultimatum.

[kenm2474]

I do have a Wasp Figure. But refresh my memory on the Ultimatum?

[redfox]

[Dr Kain]

Wow, that Blob's face is ugly. I know he is fat and all, but I don't remember his face looking like that in the comics.

Blob eats Wasp, says she tastes like chicken. Probably one of the grossest scenes in recent history (and yet only the tip of the iceberg for Ultimatum)

[Dr Kain]

lol

BTW, I'm watching the final X-Men disc now and can I honestly say that the two parter with Storm experiencing Stockholm syndrome is by far the worst multiparter in the entire series?

Im sensing she bursts from him like a chest burster....or....did she take the scenic route?

Hes definitely got the jowl factor.

[Captain Nash]

Yeah, Ultimatum and Ultimates 3 were THE WORST comics I ever read. I know what I've said about a certain writer from the mid 00's and his run on UXM, but that was more a writer thing. Loeb has had excellent books, and then there were those runs. I don't know how the same scribe wrote that and some of the other stuff he did.

anyways what was said above, Blob's an implied cannibal in Ultimate XMen but Ultimatum confirms it. Gratuitously.

So maybe only recreate the scene if you have an EXTRA Wasp. Too bad we don't have a full line of Zombie characters.

She dies in the flood caused by Magneto and then Blob finds her corpse and starts eating her, Hank and Hawkeye then find this scene and Hank's response is to pick Blob up and bite his head off. The Ultimate universe just became a shit-show of gratuitous shocks for the sake of being upsetting and off putting. To list some of the stupid crap they put into that reality: Wasp's aforementioned death and defilement, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's super twincestual relations, both Professor X and Magneto's deaths, Dormammu pops Dr Strange's head off into a bloody splat using Strange's own damn cape, Daredevil and a good number of other heroes drown to death off panel, lots of X-Men are unceremoniously slain, and most every hero who doesn't die becomes a major asshole.

Wow.......that is all i can say. So glad i never gave ultimate verse the time of day. seriously the maximoffs were boinkin one another? Yeesh. And marvel put you know who in charge of the normal verse. Too bad every trace of that shitstorm wasn't erased from history entirely...sounds like a micheal bay/uwe boll collaboration.

[kenm2474]

I am going to reshoot this with Warpath and Namor in the line up.

That...might quite possibly be...the most perfect accessory for an action figure...

EVER....

Holy shit that looks down right amazing. That reminds me, I need to do some pictures of her with my Figuarts Flame Effects.

Oh yeah, so I finished the final disc to X-Men and hot damn, except for two to three episodes, they were down right dreadful. Like I said before, the two parter where Storm suffers from Stockholm Syndrome is by far the worst multipart episode of the entire series, but even that was no where near as bad as some of the episodes on this disc. The Jubilee story time episode was just so dumb and boring. On the other hand, The Fifth Horsemen was a decent episode even though we never saw Jubilee meet Caliban before, so her just knowing him out of the blue makes no sense. We also have no idea who he is or why he becomes the way he does by Cortez at all. The ending is kind of cool, but since this is the last appearance of Apocalypse ever in this universe, it becomes a tad meaningless.

The Captain America one is average. It's cool to see Wolverine and Cap working together, but that is about all the episode has going for it. Thankfully, the following episode that deals with Mr Sinister's origins more than make up for any of the episodes that came before it on the disc because this one is amazing. It is hands down one of the best episodes of the entire series. Not to mention it not featuring any X-Men was unheard of.

Sadly, that episode is followed by one of the worst in the series. Now Rogue can suddenly touch people without them passing out? WHAT?! She touches Cannonball, she touches Gambit, she touches other people without any repercussions, which means the animators weren't even paying attention to what they were doing. LAZY!! The ending doesn't hold any meaning either with The Right given that they are never heard from again after this.

Alternatively, Graduation Day is a phenomenal finale to a truly spectacular cartoon series. It feels rushed and they should have made this a multi-part episode, but it is an ending and one of the best ways they could have ended the show on. To be fair though, I never knew this was originally the series finale because Fox never advertised it as such. I never even knew the show was over until a local comic shop employee told me in the summer of 98 that GD was the series finale.

Overall, this show has been a blast to revisit. There are episodes that I never want to sit through again, but as a whole, I will definitely be watching the vast majority of it again in the future. There were a few areas that didn't make sense when it came to the original X-Men team because there were flashback scenes that showed Angel was part of the team, even though that was contradicted way back in the first season when they met Warren for the very first time. Even Shard says, "He will one day join up with the X-Men," also stating he has never been part of the team before. My favorite episode of the series (counting all multiparters as one story) is probably The Dark Phoenix Saga, followed by The Phoenix Saga, Beyond Good and Evil, and Bloodlines. The worst episode is easily Longshot, with Hidden Agenda, Storm Front, and Have Yourself a Morlock Little Christmas right behind it. It is a shame that the show lost a lot of its story driven elements during the third season, as that really sets it apart from other comic cartoons. Nevertheless, it was truly nice to revisit this show after a decade (if not longer).

Well, now to try and look to see if X-Men Evolution was ever released on DVD.
