Wow, those Civil War ML's are impressive. Extra heads including some obscure ones, fists and open repulser hands for Iron Man (in addition to the effect), seems like Marvel is upping their game again.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of Scarlet Witch, though I'm really wondering where Falcon is.

Oh, I'm totally worried. The threat is real. I'm about ready to attach the wings and I'll bet that once I do, there will be a leak that he's coming out.

I think your custom is looking awesome, but I do hope for the rest of us the X-wave BAF is Sauron. I'm just sorry for all the hours spent on it if it is.

That's kind of why I'm holding off on a couple of X related customs myself, (from the fall) just waiting to see what will be in this X-wave.

Re: the remainder of the CW figures. now having seen more pictures, yeah BP is a MUST. I may get Fury now too. Tigra I'm going to have to see...I know I may be in the minority but I actually like the Tigra figure we got. Then again I'm happy with every figure in that wave since it was such a pain to find them.

[hasbroherofan]

Tigra seems kind of random. She's the only one I can tell on the list who isn't related to either Cap (Red Guardian is just Russian Cap) or the Civil War movie in some way.

No need to be sorry. I've been pretty lucky with any custom that I have made so far. I make them and Hasbro doesn't. Eventually that streak is going to end.
Except Transformers, Hasbro has made some of the characters that I have made customs of. Speaking of, Transformers fans abbreviate the Combiner Wars line as "CW" and now Marvel fans are abbreviating Civil War as "CW" and the Flash and Arrow air on the CW. I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! Lol

I haven't looked at that Tigra figure in a long time. I remember how excited I was to find her. That being said, she could use an update. Make the skin textured like fur and Hasbro could easily make a Feral and Wolfsbane out of her.

Well, in the Civil War comics she was a spy for Iron man that was on Cap's team, so there's *kind* of a connection...

[VonPooten]

Anybody remember this guy? It's a Sauron figure that was displayed in the battle diorama at SDCC '15. Hasbro said that it was "just a custom figure," but, you never know... I'd prepare for a possible reveal, Spyne!

Bill Foster BAF with blast damage variant pieces please, if we're going to go comics route. Which is perfectly fine to of course.

Thanks i don't think I ever saw that. Man, if there was a way to convince Hasbro to sell their customs......

Outside of the BAF being Apocalypse, I think Sauron really is the next likely choice. I didn't realize until we started talking about it how many people want him made....that's great! Only about 10 days until we'll know hopefully!

I dunno, they changed the comic that was included in the Marvel Universe battle pack that had Clone Thor Killing Goliath, so I wouldn't get your hopes up

Your correct to a certain extent. im sure people will give this movie a try because they see joker and harley. they're of course much more known then deadshot to the general public. but ALOT of people who Do know what the character is in the actual comics will see it as a ughhhh they screwed that one up, just to put a big name in this movie and to make it diverse....

Hey it is what it is..... im still going to go see it, even im not fond of Big willie portraying this character.


Back on topic once again, That is a damn nice looking Nick Fury action figure. i never heard of the whole Dirk Anger, but none the less this will be an definite purchase along with Black Panther.

Anybody know the supposed release date for these and the other wave that will be coming out ?

[erastop]

A buddy of mine got me Vision from Hulkbuster BAF so I could finish completing Hulkbuster!! (Still have to get War Machine w/head). So i decided to swap out the capes.... Small difference but still looks nice.

Sorry, I see the pict is sideways... ;(

Hmmm, I'm about 99.99999 positive that that Sauron is based of the Amazing Spider-Man lizard body, which was an all new sculpt released only once, soooo.... maybe they'll be getting more mileage out of this mold?

Do yourself a favour and check out the lauded Nextwave, and prepare to meet Dirk Anger, Director of H.A.T.E.

Ahar, great minds. I also have Vision with the ToyBiz cape on, and you're right he looks ten times better!



Still wishing for fabric capes, which I much prefer, but ah well.

The email alert feature didn't tell me about these replies (it's hit and miss for me with about 99% of replies actually) but now I've seen them and wanted to thank you.

The head looks PERFECT on the Coulson body. Luckily I got 2 Coulsons and 3 Chameleons and swapped the suits around on one of each. So I can put that Tony head on either body when I get it. I could also mod the neck balls if I want, so I have quite a few choices.

Btw, if anyone needs an unmasked DD head and has something I badly need to trade, I've got an extra. Please email me at squeezeplay69@gmail.com to discuss it. Links to have and wants and pics here:

To me they don't tend to look right on comic figures. Probably because artists seldom draw capes in plain draped positions, they're often flowing in ways that plastic capes are much more suited to capture. Like if I had a toy of Spawn, who has the best superhero cape, and the cape was cloth it would look dumb.

Looking at the picture of Dirk Anger, I can't hep but think, "Wow, that body doesn't work". Perhaps the new Taskmaster buck would fit better?

[Zend]

Its still cool that they're including the head for him even though he's a short lived spoof of Nick Fury. I read his bio on Marvel wiki, sounds like the series he was in is a fun read.

More than likely, but given that he's a Nick Fury parody, I'm willing to let it slide in this case
