If you liked the movie then you get the character's appeal, it's as simple as that.

Green Goblin's purse never long term wound up on his right but occasionally like in a panel here or on a cover there it would be on his right. Sometimes Ramos did put it on the right though.
Ramos' art often accentuates what can be the wrong aspects as it has a very cartoon vibe. When Phil kills Daniel Kingsley he looks a rat that became a man.

You guys....smh...it's not a "purse." They are called saddle bags and "real" men rock these jams! AhAHhAhahaA!

...seriously, I've got a few of them.

One's a really cool Nerv (EVA) one that my ex-girfriend bought me...and...uhh...nevermind.

Marvelfangirl · 01-09-2017, 08:27 PM

That's something you should try reading, Superior Spider-man. that was one of the first big stories that i read when i got back into the comics hobby.

The Pratt head looks way better on this one than the first- I may have to get him just to swap the figure out of my display. Groot's goofy smile doesn't really work for me though- so I'll be skipping that one

Purse, saddle bag, same thing. Different names for the same concept.

It really does! An amazing Pratt sculpt I feel like it's HT quality in terms of paint work. I like Groot's smile I think one of things was the BAF Groot people weren't too happy with the expression-I never got to complete him though. So Star Lord is definitely a must to pick up and if I can find Groot.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the Green Goblin purse being on the wrong side for Hasbro's figure.

Anyway, I found the book that has him in it (issues 693-697) so I've requested it from the library. I also discovered that have the 2099 book with the new costume, so I'm borrowing that too to see if this new toy is going to be worth while to me.

Marvelfangirl · 01-10-2017, 01:29 AM

From Rektangular (he's a great guy too btw really great with updates) The Vulture wave for Spiderman: Homecoming has been found in the registry for Walmart, in the computers. So that could be coming to shelves soon.

Marvelfangirl · 01-10-2017, 01:32 AM

Along with the Mary Jane two pack, he revealed that we will be getting a Dark Phoenix two pack! Speculation the second one will be Cyclops! It won't be an exclusive so you should be able to find it at Target, etc. It is slated for August and there is an UPC number for it.

LOL, yes ! THIS ^

I normally only poke my nose into this thread when the topic veers towards the Fantastic Four, but I just had to comment on this

I love my collection of messenger bags, totes, etc... and, quite frankly, never leave the house without one.
I actually have a retro "flight bag" with one of John Buscema's classic illustrations of The Thing (from the cover of FF #116, I think) on it, and it's pretty much one of the coolest things that I own.

And, I have to admit, right now I'm unreasonably jealous of your Neon Genesis Evangeion bag, and I'm frantically searching for one online right now, lol !

Marvelfangirl · 01-10-2017, 02:25 AM

UPC number for Dark Phoenix Two Pack: 630509584338
(In case anyone's interested)
(via rektangular)

warmachine6 · 01-10-2017, 03:07 AM

someone did a review of Sue !!! i wonder when she will be out , must be very soon. She looks like a must have for me

Also can't believe Groot is legit... if i knew about the GOTG i might of just forgot about wave 1 and just got nova prime, ah well...

Captain Nash · 01-10-2017, 08:05 AM

All this talk of stuff coming is awesome! Still, I want that X-Wave up for preorder somewhere!!!!

Dark Phoenix 2 pack other will undoubtedly be Cyclops as mentioned. I can't see how they could do anyone else.

now I wonder if Spectrum will be in a two pack as well. How amazing would it be to get a Spectrum Blue Marvel two pack??

That 'Thing' bag sounds great! lol Also an FF fan over here and that is an iconic Thing illustration you mention, kudos!

This is the Nerv bag in question:

Not particularly special, but I got many compliments in the subways of NYC on that bag!

Follow up, went out for dinner and a toyrun last night. Didn't find anything new except a Storm Funko but hallelujah I did not see a single Sentry or Hellcat at any of the five stores I went to. Last time I went to the same stores two weeks ago I ran across at least 5-6 of each total. Maybe they finally sent them back Hasbro or discounted them heavily. Just glad to see them gone.

Something else to add. I had for the last few months been going on the thought that this years SDCC exclusive would be a "women of marvel" showing Sue Storm, Mary Jane, Spectrum and Dark Phoenix, but with all accounted for except Spectrum this is clearly not going to the case. I know it's still six months out, but I now turn my hopes to getting a Hellfire set. Sebastian Shaw, classic Emma Frost, Selene, Madalyne Pryor, Mastermind, Donald Pierce. I know they never all appeared together but would this not be awesome?

Of course I'll take a New Mutants or Alpha Flight set any day as well. Also Thunderbolts but based on the SDCC poll offerings from last year that doesn't appear to be a plan for an exclusive. I still hope we get all of the classic Thunderbolts in some form eventually.

Hopefully it's the Cyclops from that era and not just a repaint of the 90s Cyclops.
