Well all of his "brothers' are evil by design not just that one. Technically Darkhawk's suit is made for evil it just never showed it since it had been offline for so long that it couldn't connect to the datasong. The datasong is like the shared hivemind hub of the raptors, where they share information and call on suit variations but also receive targets for assassination. The raptor suits are sentient when connected to the datasong and only technically require biological hosts as a means of being (like their fuel). Darkhawk himself is a good guy though and went out of his way to override the datasong and take dominance of his suit back from the suit itself before he teamed up with Nova to stop the Sphinx from doing another universal domination scheme.

It's almost tempting to buy the peg/shelf warmers and return them at a further location haha just so they can restock new stuff.

[Marvelfangirl]

That's awesome people are finding them at Walgreens! IN SPEAKING OF MARVEL LEGENDS..





I ALSO REALLY WANT A JAMES GUNN ACTION FIGURE TO POSE HIM WITH MY GUARDIANS COLLECTION!
SO HAPPY I HAVE HIM! So fucking happy!



Might try to go by Walgreens and pick up Drax and Yondu! I'D ALSO LOVE TO GET MAJOR VICTORY!!ANGELA TOO. Usually stuff can be somewhat delayed so I did what I did to ensure my happiness

[MarvelFan]

Really liking the detail in this line. Looking forward to seeing characters from the Netflix shows sooner than later. Here are a few pics of those I've collected so far.

Everyone in his area watch your local wal marts heeheehee (gets barbed wire bat at the ready)

[hasbroherofan]

There's a Target in one of our neighboring cities that STILL has Allfather wave Hawkeye figures on the pegs, so that doesn't seem too far fetched.

Current rumor is the BAF is Mantis. Some site had the wave up for pre-order.

With my luck if I did that, the restocks would be a crap load of Sentrys and Hellcats, never mind that they're not even in the same wave.

Yah theyd probably restock more odin or civil war stuff. Haha. Or be like mine and leave the pegs empty except for a couple havoks and some dr strange figs. Nevermind they abomination wave and sandman waves have been out and not seen the light of day at brick n mortar and now titus wave at walgreens.

I did see that Jackal...once. Nothing since. Heck I haven't even seen anything from the Space Venom wave except for a lone Electro and one Ashley Barton.

Let's not even start talking about the Abomination wave.

ANd I really think it mostly comes down to those freaking codes being the same. The retailers or Hasbro or whoever sets those codes need to devise a new code for each wave. Otherwise there are going to be figured produced that never sell, and I can't imagine that is good for Hasbro, to be sitting on stock in the warehouse.


I used to be of the mindset that if we waited long enough, we would see almost all Legends in abundance for their allotted time (say 4-8 months would be a standard retail life of most waves I'd think.) But it has been 7 months since Space Venom and 6 since Abomination...and barely anything. I cannot feel with any real certainty we will ever see those stocked as regular stock.

How disappointing is it that the upcoming Warlock BAF wave might be the last X-Men wave and at the very least is the only X-Men wave planned for 2017

[EvilMonkeyPope]

Incredibly so.

Look at it this way. Marvel shot themselves in the foot for the last four years (2012-2016) negating, ignoring and denying the success X-Men has had. Hell, from the late 70s to the late 90's X-Men and Spider Man were essentially keeping the company afloat. Regardless, Marvel did everything they could since Disney bought them, until very recently, to un-promote (if that's a word lol) the X-Men.

So imagine their shock last summer when they finally gave in and made an X-wave that wasn't an exclusive (the TRU deal). And it sold extremely well. They likely had another wave (this wave) planned already anyways, and could always have cancelled if the X-wave from last year bombed. What they didn't realize is how huge the desire for X-Men product was. And as such they couldn't plan it out more than 2017 to get that product in people's hands. They likely had a plan for one wave last year and one wave this year, and because of production turn around time, that's all they could get to us.

I do expect that will change come 2018. I imagine the next few years after this year will see at least 2 waves of X-men product. I could be wrong, but I strongly feel it's not. It's just a matter of demand vs. production time.

Everybody finding Black Panther and Guardians, meanwhile I'm having no trouble running into Hawkeye and Misty Knight.

Okay, so just to be certain: you found him at Walmart?

Walmart, in the Mexican border town of Nogales, so I'm not sure if they are hitting widespread just yet (I sure as hell haven't seen them in my local stores,) but they might be finally trickling in slowly stateside.

Some quick thoughts on him having goofed around with him a bit, I'm really glad that Hasbro put this guy out, even if he is a repaint of the Rocket Racoon version (which I loathed) with a some reused accessories. It's still the Bucky Cap mold, so nothing new to write home on there, but it does seem to be able to do the splits a little better than most figures using it, and one of the weapon holding hands uses the roll of the dice style swivel, which allows him to strike some neat poses with the spear.



On a really sour note...return of the gummy joints...yay...

The gummy joints also make it a bit scary switching out the hands, as they plug in really solid, causing you to utilize a bit more force to pull them, causing a little bit of stress on the joints. If you have an exacto or a dremel, I recommend sanding them down just a smidge for easier removal. The lines on the hands and wrists are kinda haphazard too...but they don't bother me too much, and are barely noticeable.



And yes, the MCU head fits on this new one, although when you pair it with the cape, it gives him the appearance of having no neck. It looks decent enough without it.

[MeLikeJinx]

^ Never understood why people were going all crazy for the Civil War Black Panther... I mean he's cool in the movie, but the more classic Walmart figure is the one I would go for.

[Brownfinger]

Probably because:
A) Movie
B) More sculpted detail that adds a bit more dimension and looks impressive when measured against how flat and featureless that other Black Panther figure is.

Don't get me wrong, to each his own. Black Panther is inherently great in any plastic form. But even if I hadn't seen the movie, I'd prefer the one that doesn't look like it was made by Toy Biz in 2002.

[MeLikeJinx]

^ Movie Black Panther almost looks like how I imagine a Play Arts Kai Black Panther would probably look with all those metal edges and lines and stuff.
