bro i literally checked in about 4 different cities in my county here in south florida and not one of them had it.

even the yellow suit daredevil, checked numerous walgreens around my area, couldn't find it, i did however see tons of them in the orlando/kisimmee area while i took a weekend trip to one of the disney parks after new years.....

[Boy Blunder]

Welp, that sucks man. I've heard from TFW members that Florida gets pretty screwed over with distribution.

[SymbiSpidey]

Yeah, Florida is pretty bad if you're any sort of toy/figure collector, at least in my area. I barely even saw the Ant-Man wave, luckily, between like 5 different stores I was able to find the figures I needed but still.

There was a bunch of Classic Daredevils at the 2nd Walgreens by my school though so that's good. But my Target is just awful when it comes to getting new Legends. I never saw any of the Allfather Wave at my Target and I still don't think they have the Rhino Wave. The pegs are still full of Ultimate Green Goblin (mostly Superior Spider-Men) and Winter Soldiers.

Distribution in my area (southern NY) isn't too bad. We just get stuff mega late. I've been ordering stuff online now, it makes it easier in the end.

I live in the Tampa Bay area.



And as a side note, I wonder how a classic Iron-Man would be on the new Grim Reaper buck, perhaps with a retooled torso?

@Nash

I appreciate you guys being nice and encouraging, but there are many people that take much better photos than I do. Many of them post stuff here on the Ark. My point, I guess, is that I just look forward to improving.

Edit: I've seen many really cool customs on these threads by both the pros and "regular-joe" hobbyists. That Karma, Von, is pretty dope!



Is that an IG-88 leg from the SW Black series? If so, pretty bad-arse! lol

@boy blunder

I'll put something up, just give me a little...a day or so? I think the Blob is worth it. He's one of the better Hasbro BAF's in my opinion, but I'll let you decide for yourself.

[Boy Blunder]

If the Cap/Red Onslaught wave is dropping that soon, I may have to pass on buying a case and just pick it up piecemeal at retail. If that's the case, is there anyone who might be looking to sell their Onslaught parts? I'm only planning on picking up Taskmaster, Whirlwind, and Mockingbird for our collection (maybe Cottonmouth too, and possibly Cap for a friend), so the parts that come with Scourge and Sharon Carter would be the ones I'd be trying to grab.

Then again, as long as BBTS doesn't sell out through preorders, I may just pick up a case later. Do we know if there's gonna be a revision case release, or is it just gonna be 2x Cap for every case?

No problem, man, take your time. And thanks!

She's a mixture of parts, opting out for the aesthetic new Hasbro bucks to make a figure that has a wide range of motion. Eventually she'll get to take names and claim heads, but for now she's just standing with her buddies.

Love your X-Figures, makes me wish I that I should have at least kept the ML for them...ah well.

Yeah same here, some I saw tons of the 3 pack and some stores had 0. It's like that with TF's too haha.

Ugh, don't I know it. Seven stores I check on a regular basis (three Targets, three Walmarts, and a TRU) and it's really a toss-up as to which ones will have any stock of a given line, especially TFs. At least they all seem to do decently with ML, though not all have the same lines at once - the Hulkbuster wave has been loading Walmart pegs while barely hitting the Targets around here, while the Rhino wave has saturated those same Targets and only just started showing up at Walmarts.

And don't get me started on TRU's wealth of Batrocs and Wasps...

Yup my Target/TRU are the same exact on ML as well as the MI 3.75 figures...heck I wonder when the stores will ever get the newest wave...

[VonPooten]

@TBM, Thank you very kindly and yes, that is an IG-88 leg, good eye! Karma comes courtesy from the fantastic Wanderer-X, a wonderful custom artist and a great guy. I've always liked Xi'an, and what are the odds that she'll ever see an official release?
(watch her get announced at Toy Fair now I've said that)

Cheers! There's still time to collect the new X-wave when it comes out, if any of the rumoured characters have piqued your interest?

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Von

Oh, I know who Wanderer-X is. When I became serious about collecting MLs, I used to watch almost all of his auctions. He's made some real incredible stuff and I certainly consider him to be a pro. He seems to specialize in female heroes, or that was the impression I got from looking at his creations.

I dig Karma too. I always felt she offered an interesting spin on the concept of psychic powers. I like that Magneto upgraded his wardrobe to a more dynamic cloth cape , but more impressive is that he actually looks like he's riding a wave of electromagnetic energy - legs and arms trailing behind him. Nice touch!

[ultraman zoffy]

Man... just got in the last few loose figures I ordered through Dorkside from the Absorbing Man wave, and while they're cool and all, I realize I've got zero hype for Marvel figures anymore. Even looking at the new Cap wave felt meh... it's a weird feeling to acknowledge lol. That Rogue figure and a FA Storm if she ever happens, but the break-up is real. I'll be over in the TFW2005 forum if anyone needs any mod or custom advice. It's been fun peeps! Stay hungry. =)

[Kirathis]

Doh, sorry to see ya go Zoffy but I get the whole meh feeling. Take care bud.

[TheBlueMarvel]

Damn, Zoff. Well don't hesitate to come back if some fig catches your eye...

[Spyne98]

Sorry to see you go Zoffy. I'm on tfw as well. I'll see you there.

Ok so I got a picture of my custom Stilt Man up. I'll load some more once soon.

REALLY Hasbro!? a third repaint of the Winter Soldier Cap body? I know it looks good and it's the basis of the last two costumes, but it just gets so many of the details wrong!!! It need more than just a new chest to look right! I also like how the couldn't even fix his belt in their own picture :P At Least Iron Man looks cool with those repulsor blasts, and Black Panther is sweet too...

[Spyne98]

Panther looks cool, but I really don't need that Cap or Iron Man.
