Hey, guys! Made a quick review, size comparison and a few creative shots with the Falcon and Black Panther! You can watch it here if you want:

That sounds like it makes sense. I was thinking that it might have to do with the exacting detail needed to carry through movie likenesses and costumes. They have to nail the 'moneymakers' (movie properties) because that's where all of the real revenue is generated...not with the comics or even the toys. I like your theory better, it's less cynical than my take on the matter.

Haha same, I remember when the Walmart AOU or was it the first Avengers movie exclusives, anyways that came out never saw them. These are almost as bad as the X-Men TRU exclusives.

She had a massive stroke at 38. She was in great health, went for a run everyday, ate right, took great care of herself. Trivial is so right, make sure you get your check ups, if not for yourself than for the loved ones you'll leave behind

Even getting a regular check up doesn't always guarantee anything, my Aunt just passed away from a heart attacked not too long ago, at first they diagnosed her with UTI, until it was too late she suffered a severe heart attack and the surgery would have been too complicated to fix her once it was realized she had a heart attack and it wasn't just UTI. She lived a healthy lifestyle as well and she just went in at first to get a shot for her arthritis.

This would make a good x-men wave alone , though considering were getting Warlock as a BAF i wonder if the film will get hasbro to make the majority of these characters.

Nice, hopefully the story is solid.

MarvelousNews posted up some in-hand photos of the Doctor Strange wave, and I'm hyped up more. Honestly, looking at the SDCC-exclusive characters that are getting redone for that wave... I'm liking the retail versions more. Enchantress and Dormammu really work well with a darkened palette, and the new colors for Dormammu's flaming skulls almost looks like there's LEDs in them or something. Brother Voodoo is a trade-off, because while I like the SDCC one's head deco better (the skull facepaint is key), it uses that awful cape that comes with Hulkbuster Vision, and I hate that thing. Also, the overall deco hits me a little better on the retail release.

Though I wish I had a set of the SDCC Dormammu's skulls, so that the retail one could pull an MvC3 with one in each hand. "POWER OF THE CREATOR! POWER OF THE DESTROYER!"

I agree 100%. Saw it this morning and I was thinking exactly the same thing about the improved paint apps. Dormammu sports not just better paints, but a re-tooled war-skirt. I need to check my SDCC fig to see if I somehow overlooked that...pretty sure I didn't miss something as obvious as that...







Can't wait to update with an improved Dormammu!

[Boy Blunder]

UGH. Stop posting those great setups, TBM. Giving me serious plastic envy.

(But in all seriousness, keep it up. One of these days, I'll have enough space and extra income to invest in some of those effects pieces and the like and try to get up to your level. )

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Blunder
lol Thanks, dude! That shit is old though...I did that a few days after getting my SDCC set following the convention...When the Strange-wave drops, I'll likely revisit the concept with some of the stuff I've been experimenting with lately.

[KamenRiderOOO]

I need to move Falcon to the back. Wingspan way too huge to fit him in properly XD

[Boy Blunder]

^Man. Edge of Spider-Verse took a weird turn.

(Also, digging the lurking Vision in the back there)

Vision's only lurking for now cause I don't have a stand for him yet XD

[Veronica Mars]

First off, it's so nice to not have headless Onslaught anymore.

Kitty is probably my favorite figure in the wave, her head sculpt is great, no paint issues on mine, and who doesn't love a purple dragon?

Phoenix, is a pretty solid figure, I've heard a lot of complaints about her balance issues, "her hair is too heavy" "her heels make it hard to keep her standing" Personally I think the fact that her right leg is longer than her left leg is what causes the issue, so if pose her with a hip popped she stands fine. I really wish I had snagged the marvel select phoenix when she was affordable, the phoenix stand from that would look great.

Havok, not much to say about him, he's a fairly standard bucky cap figure, if you're a fan of the character he's great, if not he's kind of meh. His blast effects are neat and I hope they reuse them for Speedball one day.

Wolverine is pretty awesome, I'm not the biggest fan of the character, but the figure is solid once you get the claws straighten out, and I love that they made a new stockier buck for him.

Cable was honestly not a figure I was personally looking forward to, so his being as good as he is makes me happy. The larger of the two guns with mine was very warped coming out of the package so be aware of that. Overall I really want to get my Domino custom done now. If anyone figures out what the strip of bullets is for let me know

Rogue.... My Rogue had some QC issues. Her hair was only half glued down and seated wrong, and her headband was only half painted (pics below). She great aside from that, mine even hand a second ungloved hand behind the plastic tray, it's a little squished but nothing a heat gun can't fix. When I need to bust out the paint kit, have to color match and and then pry off and re-situate the hair piece right out of the package, you lose points

Iceman, probably the weakest figure for me, he's gummy, but not as bad as I expected, I think the biggest disappointment is the lack of ice effects

Deadpool, looks great, Wade isn't staying here so I didn't even bother to look to closely at him.

Juggernaut, seriously I don't get the hate. I love this BAF, maybe it's because I don't have and never had any of the comparable figures so I don't know any better, but this is probably my favorite BAF yet







Also WCA, they need to make a new Tigra

[Captain Nash]

Great review. I totally agree Iceman is the weak point in the wave, and is actually the only one I do not like. Juggernaut I do like, but I wish his fists, because they are so large, were not just giant bulbs of plastic. Wish we had some articulation in there.

Sorry your Rogue had the QC issues, that sucks, hopefully you will find another. She was definitely the high point in the wave for me. But Kitty was the surprise runner up for me and I completely agree she is an awesome figure.

Enjoy, and as always, great shots! Love the retro wash look of the last picture.

[donmeca2020]

So i got a email from dorkside, apparently my preorder for captain britain will ship soon. Im happy for that. So that means no searching for him !!

I got Rogue sorted out the hardest part of fixing her was matching the right shade of metallic green

Believe it or not he is my LEAST favorite figure from that wave...i'll still keep him but...ehhhhhhh

[Harbinger]

Vm the bullet strips are for the larger gun as they recycled forges weapons ( sans pistol ) for cable.

Don't the bullets plug into the slot on the bottom-front of the larger, two-handed gun? When I picked up Hope Summers, she has the same gun, but no bullets, just an open slot-area there.

So after much debate last night about whether or not I wanted to new Bucky figure, numerous reviews swayed me to the side of "yes" so I stopped by Wal-Mart to pick up the one I saw yesterday. Figured why not? I can squeeze in another Legends, it's gonna be awhile before I see Wanda for anywhere near a reasonable price, and my birthday is coming in less than a month.


I actually like this guy a lot more than I was expecting. The head sculpt is phenomenal. It might be the best likeness we've had for an MCU character to date. You definitely see Sebastian Stan in the face sculpt. I also like the color scheme a bit more than the older Winter Soldier figure and the star looks much nicer.

Definite improvement over the older figure. Unfortunately, this is a bit bittersweet since now that I have this figure, there's no real hunting for me to do until the Abomination Wave hits retail around here :/

Yeah i still haven't seen any of the walmart specials as of yet...glad you snagged ..and like yours...

RE: Scarlet Witch....I received my Wanda and to me she is easily the best figure of this current cap wave..THE PAINT APP on the face of mine is the best i've seen on a female Legends figure to date..I think it's a good sculpt on a damn good figure..

[Robb]

I piked up 3 Black Panthers from a Walmart cube. So if anyone still needs one LMK. Cost plus shipping.
