Of course, you'll either have to pay shipping cost or spend $69 there to get free shipping.

Jesus Christ, at that point, just STEAL the figures, at least that frees up peg space

No Boomerang? But the Superior Foes!

...though to be fair, a good-paint Boomerang is a pain in the ass to find.

i've had numerous oppurtunities to grab him, however as you know trying to find him now is a slim to none chance at this point. i just never had the thought i needed him until recently really.

Doc ock, Mysterio, and Scorpion are most definitely figures that NEED to be made. however as we were all talking about about a month or so ago. we still have a good amount of characters whom have not been made into a legend.

Minium wage, bad work hours etc

I don't care if it's minimum wage or not, you go to work TO WORK, not to be lazy ass mother ****er.

I worked in retail for 6 years and worked my ass off, so I expect every retail employee to put at least half of the effort I did in their job. If they don't want to work, then they need to quit and get a different job.

Anyway I got these guys off Amazon for $25:


















Initial thoughts:

Red Skull - His head might just be attached to a repainted Iron Man armor, but I think he is pretty awesome. The head is painted extremely well and I love how vibrant his blue eyes are. they really pop with the red color they used along with the black shading. Also, I'm glad they went with this Iron Man armor over some of the other options. At least they did the one that is fully posseable compared to that awful Civil War one. As for the helmeted head, not sure what the deal is with it, especially when his head can not possibly fit in it, but meh, whatever. It might make for a good Robot Skull at some point if Hasbro ever does another Red Skull figure (which I'm sure will happen). Until then though, this is the best Red Skull figure ever!

Eel - He's cool. I like that he comes with regular hands but there is a giant glob of paint right on his lower stomach muscle thing (not sure what they're called). Very annoying because it is just stuck there. I wish I could remove it. Nice to have someone to go with Copperhead.

Captain Britain - Messy paint job, but a good figure overall. Now they just need to give us Nightcrawler, Megan, and Rachel Phoenix.

The Abomination pieces are going in my "To Sell" pile.

I can still find him randomly at the local Walmarts, but again, the likelihood of finding him with good paint makes it hard to pay full price for him. And NOBODY has him discounted for much, if at all.

Once again i whole heartedly agree, however your not going to get 5 star help from a place like this.

He's up on Walmart.com, but don't tell anyone, I haven't got him yet either.

It's not shame that the WWE was so quick to scrub her out and wash their hands of her, considering that she did unseat the longest reigning Divas champ ever, was a fan favorite, had pretty good in ring skills and was a looker. I would love to see what kind of proper program she could have run with another of similar talent, such as Bailey or Charlotte. Sasha Banks couldn't lace Paige's boots...

Her WWE figure also makes a great base for an X-23 custom when she was sporting her Gothic sensibilities.

^^^ sweet..
was hoping to have mine for Christmas but i don't think it'll happen.
Fedex says delivery will be by Dec 30th (next Friday)..
BUT...Tracking says its sitting in a location that is literally 10 minutes from where i live...

Side note: what is with Shockers' knee cappy thing-a-ma-bobbles??
looks like it makes me want to either paint or remove them...

[Trivial Psychic]

So after getting the Sandman wave out of their boxes and goofing around with them for a bit, my excitement for them has really tempered down a bit. For some reason, the QC on this wave feels ALL OVER THE PLACE...and honestly, this is the first time in a long time where I've handled Marvel Legends with gloves usually reserved for NECA's figures, as I'm genuinely worried about breaking one or more of these guys.

My Sandman BAF is especially bad, as it took A LOT of work to actually put this guy together. His right leg (the one with the larger peg) would not come together without having to use heat to soften the peg, while the left leg, as well as the left arm, required a tremendous amount of pressure for the limbs to properly click and settle into place. The right leg's ball joint is soggy and floppy, while the left leg's is stiff and hard to move, and when you do, it moves the right leg along with it for some inexplicable reason. The right leg also makes that awful squeaking noise when you turn it...you know what it sounds like...the sound of friction that usually comes just seconds before a peg joint tears off as you turn it...only the joint is not ripping (and hopefully never does...*deep breath...)

Then there's the figures in the wave themselves. Green Goblin's right hand fell off immediately upon pulling him out of the package and doesn't sit as snuggly in the joint as it should. Spider UK had a stuck left shoulder (which took some work to free) that doesn't seem to slide up into the torso properly and as a result ended up taking a nice chunk of paint from the ball joint thanks to the rub. And then there was Symbiote Spider-Man, who had an elbow peg that needed to be pushed all the way in, and also had a frozen left shoulder joint that took several hot water treatments and some cutting with an exacto to free, and is still so tight that it's almost impossible to put his arms down at his sides, that I'm having the same sensation of terror trying to pose it that I did when I first started messing with my NECA Keaton Batman.

On the positive side...once I got past my QC issues, I really am digging the two figures that I thought I would enjoy the least in Spider-Man 2099 and Spider UK. I really like the bulk and build of Spider UK, and the look of Spidey 2099 is really slick and clean...very Mirror's Edge meets Spider-Man. I could be wrong, but it looks as if we got a newly sculpted pair of feet for these two figures as well, as they are similar to the symbiote feet that Venom and Anti-Venom had, only the heel cup seems to sit a little bit higher on the ankle, and they have a slightly different shape. Spider-UK's in particular might make a good replacement for Magneto's "slipper flippers" if I can find another one for fodder.

One other thing that impressed me about Spider UK was the abnormally clean design on the web pattern. I say abnormal, because it was so clean, I initially didn't think that Spider UK had an ab-crunch when I first looked at it.

Still...the QC issues of some of the last few waves (Abomination and Sandman) has me a bit concerned. It could be mold degredation, or that Hasbro is simply cranking these out too fast, but hopefully, they pace themselves a bit better in the next year so they don't have as many kinks as they've had as of late.

[Dr Kain]

I hope our next Spidey wave has Noir in it. I'm tired of all these Spideys I don't care about.

Is Iron Fist trying to get his inner Uma Thurman on? That costume looks awful. I think his best costume is the one that came with the new figure. It keeps the look of the original but gets rid of the goofy huge collar.
