The last new thing I've seen was the 2nd wave of the IM3 figures. Nothing new on the ROML front, either.

Just as well as there's some dude clogging up the aisle. He's a big guy wearing blue tights and a red cape. Maybe you've heard of him.

And for those who couldn't figure it out: sarcasm!!!

I'd like to add that almost every single one of those items are, I hate saying this but, useless plastic.

Shhhh! This is a Marvel thread. We don't talk about the Distinguished Competition here.

All three of them look bad, IMHO. The body just doesn't look right to me - especially her lower waist and hips. It's both too wide and too short compared to the rest of her abdomen. The head sculpt isn't doing her any favors either.

[Serious Lee]

I also agree on Emma's lack of Emma-ness, that fig will leave me wanting a lot more. I wonder if that head would look better on a Moonstone body instead (rounder in the right places). The Rogue pics looked much better than what we're apparently getting on Ms. Frost, I wonder how they went in such an awkward looking direction?

[ultraman zoffy]

Bought an SDCC Moonstone for custom fodder and was on the fence who to make with it, but the decision is now clear. That figure's body is PERFECT for an Emma custom... and it's even painted white already to boot. lol

[ultraman zoffy]

No money to spend on figures this month, and I really wanted a Black Panther on the updated Bucky body... so I took a spare Bucky I had laying around and cobbled it together with some spare parts to make this "tactical version" Black Panther. Head is just a plasti-dipped Bucky head with the wings cut into BP tips. I'm actually having enough fun with this guy to not want the retail version anymore. lol

I'm thinking some point in the future getting a galactus although not sure which one
So Could some give me pros and Cons between the ML one and the MU version

Are there more than 3 versions? There is the ML BAF, then two versions of the MU boxed figure, regular & "Dark."

Both of the MU ones are bigger than the BAF if I am correct. The "Dark Galactus" replaces the magenta color with a dark purple, and looks a little better IMO.

[Serious Lee]

I wasn't lucky enough to get my hands on the MU Galactus, but I still have my BAF ML one and I like him just fine as he has all the detail I want and I suppose getting to put him together has created a bond between us lol

I like the MU "Dark" Galactus the best. I just think the color palette looks better (plus the transparent/starry Surfer is nice). If you are more into classic colors go with the regular, but either are better than the BAF. Which is the exact opposite of how I feel about the Sentinel. The BAF Sentinel is WAAAAYYY better in design and color than the MU Sentinel, both colors look crappy to me. I also do not like the cartoony design of the MU Sentinel.

I approve all of this, and you are correct, MU has better articulaton, but MU versions have lights, sounds and more imposing size.

Does anyone know the breakdown of the Jubilee wave? I ask because I want to know if we will be short changed one last time before the switch over to movie waves.

The figure breakdown is as follows:
Radioactive Man/ Tigershark
Blizzard/ Batroc
Moonstone/ Songbird
Agent Venom
(Marvel Now) Thor

In both the Puck and Rocket Racoon waves, the running changes were sent into limbo, and the spaces they could have occupied were filled with, well, extras. I hope the RC's in the Jubilee wave are included and we don't get anymore unnecessary extras and that we don't need to wait a year or two for say, Tigershark or Songbird. Was there info that I missed about this wave? And no, I don't think it's too early to talk about it lol

[quinten182]

Archangel was in stock on HTS today, I snagged 2 before I left work. I only wanted one, but wanted to hit the free shipping so picked up a couple other things too. Did anyone else want one at cost and shipping?

I snagged an Archangel off HTS as well! Quite happy about that. Now I'm just waiting for them to restock Thunderball (Marvel's Wrecking Crew).I still need Terrax: Thor & Steve Rogers, Arnim Zola: FF Spidier-Man & Unmasked Daken, Then the whole Rocket Raccoon wave. And of course the unreleased variants from Epic Heroes & Hit Monkey... It hurts the wallet getting caught up on a new collecting hobby.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere this last wave (Jean Grey wave) is the last wave to not ship with the variants or running changes. Starting with the Jubilee wave all variants and running changes will ship in one box. So you will be getting all 8 figs one to a case.

[Serious Lee]

That is sweet news, thanks

so Phoenix was scrapped?
