I'm with you. What got me into collecting DCUC figures (which was the gateway drug to ML for me) was one figure: Killer Moth. Since then, the oddball heroes and the most whacked-out 'jobber' villains are my bread and butter.

3. Iron Skull - this figure is so "odd" that i actually like it..don't like the actual red skull head on it though..just the cartoony head.
4. Captain Britain - i think its the costume and helmet that make him my least fav.
5. WonderMan - Decent figure
6. Eel - serious oddball of the bunch and didn't even know who he was...but i def like this one.
7. Secret Wars Cap - Dont know WHY i like this costume...but i do

Still trying to figure out what's so appealing about Secret Wars Cap, because I can't explain why I like him either, but I do. Hell, That entire wave has some weird charm for me, except maybe Wonder Man (all right figure, but I've never had any attachment to his design, and without a Beast to pair him up with, I don't feel the need to grab him).

I don't know that we'll end up getting the whole wave, but with Wanda, Eel, and Brian on the 'for sure' list, and Iron Skull and SW Cap on the 'maybe' list, the odds are pretty good.

And hey, that'll net an Abomination for my EMH-inspired Masters of Evil!

I like oddball heroes too....it helps me fill out my second rate MoE line ups. Wish we could get villains like The Owl, Dr. Demonicus, Joystick, Blood Brothers, Cyclone, Man-Killer, Titania, Cardinal, Machinesmith, Black Mamba, Hydro-Man, Gypsy Moth and so many others. Though, we definitely have to "leaders" to lead those MoE which is why we still need characters like Crimson Cowl and the Hood.

These ones in particular, please and thank you.

Found winter soldier today. Other than no holster ( i added one so his pistol had a home ) and molded weapon ( seriously on legends figures majorly wtf )and a lil wobbly at the waist twist hes f@$kin' bad ass! Saw falcon too but it looked a bit sketchy plus the gray looks kinda chinsey and i just dont like his bland uniform and his pack looks kinda bulky so passed on him.

Starlord67 · 08-31-2016, 10:37 AM

Stopped by Walmart today to pick up some odds and ends from my kids school supplies list and found two Civil War Falcons! I'm a happy camper! No Winter Soldier but they are starting to show up and are out there! Happy Hunting!!

Harbinger · 08-31-2016, 12:15 PM

My Winter Soldier with a holster and better rifle ( well a rifle period

).

AFU · 08-31-2016, 01:24 PM

Was very undecided on which Abombination to get, SDCC or BAF...chose the BAF, color paint apps on the BAF just seemed more raw, and in hand, the figure, huge, burly, and well worth what I paid for it...Hasbro, hats off...I'm very pleased with the figure, and I can live with the lower half, especially on mine, because the paint shading on the lower half is really well done.

Started Unlimited Plus last year just to get the Rescue figure, but now I'm in love with it more than I am with the figure. Nothing but love for the service, Carol will be a nice bonus for me!

This may have been posted long ago, but I just got the Nick Fury figure. What are those 2 extra heads?

Thanks,

Generic SHIELD Agent, and Dirk Anger, Director of HATE (from Nextwave), who's essentially a Nick Fury parody taken up to 11.

It reminds me of the MCU Cap unhelmeted head sculpt, in that it has more of a generic appearance. Kinda disappointing considering how well Black Widow came out, and especially more so when you compare it to Falcon and the new Winter Soldier.

kenm2474 · 08-31-2016, 07:08 PM

@Nitelife. What did you mean by Molded weapons on Winter Soldier?

Yeah you did good on those Trades I really enjoyed those when I read them as I actually like Bendis quite a bit (yeah I said it!) I really enjoyed his damaged Cyclops. Now my hunt begins for a punisher, that and a transformers brainstorm.

advocatepinoy · 08-31-2016, 11:04 PM

Here's the bootleg Ant-Man review! I somehow enjoyed the fig and might keep it

I actually think the opposite Scarlet Witch's likeness is way better than Black widow's. Black Widow's likeness is terrible. Especially on the Amazon 4-Pack one the eye paint and Lipstick paint are bad. She kinda looks like a Hooker lol

donmeca2020 · 09-01-2016, 05:53 AM

So i see the strange wave is up for preorder. I might consider grabbing iron fist whenever these appear in store.

Don't know about that one. At least on the version from The Winter Soldier, I think it looks dead accurate to Scarlett Johansson. With Scarlet Witch she does look like Elizabeth Olsen from certain angles, though I think her nose is kinda throwing things off.

And I pre-ordered Iron Fist and Nico at Dorkside. Figure I'll take my chances with the two movie figures at retail. Still undecided on picking up the rest of the wave.

Captain Nash · 09-01-2016, 07:06 AM

Phew...got the email from BBTS about the Dr. Strange wave. All the individual figures I would want are already sold out. Oh well...Amazon or retail it is for me. I can wait though, nothing I am going to go crazy over waiting for.

Dr Kain · 09-01-2016, 07:14 AM

Nico is the only Strange figure I want.

Can't wait to update with an improved Dormammu!

What are the flame effects and the ground beneath Dormammu from? That looks absolutely badass.
