UPDATE: Ah, the toy hunt is a beautiful thing. Sometimes you'll drive all over the place to find the figure/s you're looking for and not see it, then you'll randomly stop by a place and find that figure. I must have searched a thousand places today for the Dr. Strange wave. I cut my losses and went back home, but I was feeling hungry. I stop by Jack in the Box to pick up some food and on the way back, I notice a Walgreens so I decide to drop by. Sure enough, they have the comic and MCU Strange there on the pegs, as well as a TON of Punishers. Picked up the MCU version. Definitely know where to stop now should I go looking for the others.

Looks like Walgreen's is making its way to the "go to" list for Legends. Gonna have to check out my local stores.

Well, we know for certain that we're getting Netflix Punisher, and Jessica Jones (Jess and Frank were shown at SDCC), and they said there would be a confirmed third figure (probably Daredevil), so it's totally in the realm of possibility.

Cage definitely needs a new Hasbro ML. He's criminally underproduced, honestly. We can get endless Caps, but we can't make room in a single wave for a Luke Cage? With how close the Space Venom and Dormammu releases were to one another, I really wish they'd have included a modern Cage in the Spidey wave in place of Ashley Barton. That way we'd have gotten a new set of Heroes for Hire within the same time frame.

lol In the name of the Seven Rings of Raggadorr, I thank you!

[donmeca2020]

so i went hunting today and i come to find out the Strange wave is now available here in SoFla, i saw all of them but Iron fist. i also saw almost the whole X wave, and even had a wolverine in my possession but his claw was messed up and he had white paint speckles on his torso, i ended up having to pass on him . i was ticked about that....

And a Black Panther! That's a decent stock set up actually. But where are the requisite Hellcats and white Iron fists??

You know to be honest... i haven't seen too many Hellcats or white iron fists any longer in the wild. i recall about a month or so ago i was at another walmart and did see the entire thanos wave. while i was like SOB more of these? i guess it's those walmarts that don't care.

Considering i went to a TRU today and to this other Walmart and found this treasure chest of figures, i might have to start checking this particular walmart more frequently when i have free time. now if only i can find out what time and what day they restock items. i'd be good to go if i found that out. i've noticed SOME walmarts here stock usually friday mornings a little bit after 10am.... but im not 100% sure if they all do

One quick head swap and the havok figure ceases to suck ( as much as before ). What a versatile head that is.

I hate to break this to you but good luck finding your Wolverine that doesn't have messed up claws. I have seen this figure maybe twice in the wild and both times they were they were warped. My BBTS order was warped as well. It is most likely a QC issue with Hasbro.

Triv you are correct. I have one in box and sone are a bit meandering and when ive seen him in stores they're warped in some way but a lil hot water soak should fix it ( since they pop off the hands ). On a side note i got a loose rogue kitty iceman and a few others ( havok in cluded ) when i traded a with a buddy. I wasnt big on havok but after that headswap i like him a bit more. Have some plans to enhace it further....just gotta map it out.

Can anyone suggest a good head and armored arm for a magik custom?

You dont like Mockingbird's head?? She pegwarms too.

Found the remnants of Dr. Strange wave at TRU yesterday was gonna pick up comic Dr. Strange but hold off for a sale since he will be the peg warmer , the other figs was astral MCU Doc Strange and Brother Voodoo both a pass for me. Picked up Walking Dead Lydia instead.

And this TRU have all the Legends figs behind the cashier , this will stop all those BAF thieves.

[Veronica Mars]

Saw half the Doc Strange wave at Wal-Mart last night and finally some of the Giant Man wave too

I wanna try to get a head that has more of the bangs look then parted.

I want to like this, because the hair is perfect for Alex, but that face just looks so sad in every photo I've seen of that head. Like he just remembered that he owed on his income tax this year.

Could be he forgot to get 12pack of big red? Well he does have to wear a body condom to help control his powers so maybe thats it? i kinda over looked the sadface as it really works well for havok.

Ok, i was unaware of that. However the tiny white paint specs were definitely a dealbreaker for me. I need clean paint on my figs. Im just particular about that.

TV Series Line:
================
Daredevil (Netflix)
Electra (Netflix)

Punisher (Netflix)

Agent Melinda May (Agents of Shield)
BAF: KingPin (Netflix)

I wouldn't mind seeing this wave

Question for my fellow customizers, I need to figure out a way to do a clear visor/glasses any thoughts? The hopeful end result is:

I ran into another Wolverine today, and his claws were all over the place. He's a tough cat to find, so I worry you might never pick him up if you continue the unicorn hunt you know?

I very rarely worry about errant paint apps on figures anymore. If I have a choice, of course I will go for the best looking one, but if I find a rare figure where the apps just aren't quite there, I'll usually end up grabbing it anyways, knowing that I more than likely can just make the fix at home with a little paint or touch up with prism color markers. (I did A LOT of this with my Abomination wave figures, as nearly every single one in my case had some sort of paint issue with them.) It saves me the stress of wondering if I will ever come across them again, as well as the worries of paying out the nose for something later should I not get lucky a second time.

You could, if ya can find her, take the goggles of an old dc direct phantom lady and dye them or do a thin wash as they are green. Maybe look at other figs or accessory packs from various figs in the 1/12th or near scale.

Wolverine's claws are easy to fix just by swapping them around. I tried heating them up but I accomplished nothing other than a really hot finger.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I opened a lot of legends for my b-day haul today. Black Panther is as awesome as I'd heard and he even looks really cool with his unmasked head. DP and Wolvie are both as spectacular as they are Canadian. Hobgoblin is an extremely well done villain figure though I wish the glider were much bigger than it is. The GotG set though is the big catch of the day for me, not only are all figures great but the accessories and packaging really elevate this set for me. The fact that I managed to get it for only $77 is also very nice.

Swapping them around? Do they all actually come out (without forcing them out)?
