The belts are the same, but you are right about the arms. The "Xforce" single release has a darker skin tone and has hairy forearm paint details.

lookin at you like

Cant wait to see what you cook up for your All-Mystic crew...

this was one of my favs..

@Dark
LOL Where are my manners? I'm on it. Being a fan, an unimpressed Shaq is all I need for motivation. It'll be up tomorrow morning. It takes Photobucket roughly 8hrs to process my tweaks...it can never just be a no-frills pic, right? lol

Thank you, Dark. I liked that one too. I'm very excited to have this wave. I get why so many people are on the fence with three Strange figs and and 4 of the 9 offerings being re-issues...but these figs are dope, dude (Dr Strange fandom aside)! I'm tempted to do a review since most won't be buying this whole wave. However, that's not really my style. I have never really frequented reviews, myself. I have a pretty good eye and if I see a quality pic or two, I can determine everything I need to know regarding purchase.

I really wasn't planning on keeping the Iron Skull figure...

Then I got him in hand and had an idea to fix his silly hands with those cumbersome (and from a toy perspective flat out stupid) hand-guards.
(I used the hands from a War Machine from a few years back)

I quite like him somehow, and still find the idea of him successfully stealing and modding an Iron Man armour more plausible (and enjoyable) than him "stealing" a dead Xavier's brain and thereby gaining telepathy...

That really ranks high up in my personal shittiest story list.
(Spidey being denied character progression by discarding MJ, and Wanda and Pietro not being Magneto's children are up there as well)

This figure is the equivalent of a BAD, yet GOOD B-Movie.
it's really not good, yet has some quirky/redeeming quality that makes it desirable. i just don't use that particular head with it.

[lordbest]

So, She-Hulk is now starring in a solo Hulk title, I wonder what if this means anything for her getting a new figure?

Haha, that's a great analogy!
Curious as to what head (and why) you are using though?

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Dark

Hopefully, this helps a little more than my ol'skool chat-room approach:









Sorry about the Enchantress throw-in. I really dug the pose and the shadow it created. lol

Edit: Also...I just finished getting the background info on all of the members of the Ultimates - stories thus far, powers (Miss America, specifically), etc - and you were right, they are extremely potent. Once I've gathered any available trades, it will be interesting to see how this Thanos thing shakes out and how the team develops. The writer just needs to take that Dr. Venture "speed-suit" (lol) off of Adam, give him back his old costume, and we are good to go!

First thing I said was: "that's some proper posing with the enchantress feet being all heeled and wonky!"
The first thing my daughter said (sitting next to me) was: "cool Enchantress shadow!"

The throw-in was well deserved Blue Marvel!

[BoNKerS]

@TheBlueMarvel - Great shots as always!!

Just when I thought I was done with Legends... NOPE! They drag me back in HARD!!

Thanks for the compliment, Daetrin...but the "first thing" I said to myself was, "how cool is it, that Daetrin shares his passion with his daughter to such a degree that she sits right beside him experiencing it in the very same 'moment' that he does...and, how cool is it that she knows who the Enchantress is!"

LOL You are way cool, man! That there is the 'poetry of life!'

Loving this Deadpool pose, nicely done!

She does look great! The heels, which usually annoy me to no end, actually work well with her. The heels give her a statuesque look that is more appropriate for her than say Wanda, or Felicia. Amora being a goddess and all...

It does have a 'creepy' factor to it...I didn't expect to like it, but it really is cool. In some ways, I like it better than comic Astral Strange.

It would be nice, she and Singularity are the only Members of A-Force without figures

[richaveli83]

Found the entire wave at Toys R Us but I really only wanted Mordo and Voodoo but decided to get Nico, Iron Fist, and Enchantress even though I already have the SDCC one.

No, prob. If I were going to go for just one, I'd probably opt for the single release X-force Wolvie.

Toys R' Us. They've hit in CT, which usually means the whole tri-state: NY/NJ/CT. I was able to find the whole wave on the pegs, but I didn't see any others. Went to a TRU near me, on a lark, not expecting to find them and sure enough, the whole wave was there. All great paints too, except Jericho. He has some chipped paint on his nose. I may have to get another, on the cheap, when he drops to $5-$10 bucks in a few months.

@Ken

Thanks, Ken!

too late....it was an..."after the fact" question....


and being as though i was all caught up with figs (something to be said for that)...i really haven't been in any toy stores lately...(except for walmart which ya go into for everydamn thing)...
i did order them...but that wont stop me from seeing if a store has em first..
it's nice knowing my hunt is now a 'choice'....
great score though....

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Dark

Aww shit...sorry. Well, obviously, I think they are both cool!

Thanks man, no effort really.
I just share my love with the ones I love, and hope for the best.
That... and a steady diet of Marvel Universe figures ...

Her ninth birthday is coming up in three weeks and these two (colouring book and fleece blanket) are among the gifts I have no doubt will have her jump for joy. (now to keep her eyes of this site for a bit until this post moves to a previous page...)

Oh right! Although he did have me wondering how he would fit his big red gnarly noggin' inside that helmet.
I think I need to see his face for the moment, to sort of ease me into the whole Iron Skull thing. Although I do like the added option of the helmet for future set-ups.

Go She-Hulk Go!!!
Gosh, I do hope they figure out a way to still put modern Dazzler in the line somewhere! (Walgreens?!?)

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Daetrin

Very nice! I'm sure she will love them...mostly because they're from you.

...this is me trying to help you move your reveal to another page! LOL

Hopefully the series lasts longer the the prior ones that she had.

[Byrnes]

Marvel has lost their minds. Which is ashamed. I love reading the comics from 60-80's and even some early 90's. After that forget it. I tried to get back into in over the last year reading multiple titles for about 10 issues or so. All of them, garbage.

[Boy Blunder]

The only ones I've stuck with since the ANADM relaunch are All-New Wolverine, Extraordinary X-Men, Ms. Marvel, A-Force and All-New Avengers. I was still enjoying Ultimates, but had to trim it due to comics budget concerns.

At least Champions looks like it might be a bit of fun, but we'll see. The rest of Marvel's current crop's just not keeping my interest beyond a cursory glance. She-Hulk's new turn is not looking to change that.
