Shit, I didn't know Monae was one of the names up for the part. That would have been perfect, she's as talented as she is gorgeous.
Now I'm a little bummed out.

Thank you, it's from a Re-Ment Pose Skeleton. They're like 8 bucks on Amazon, and have a lot of accessories you can buy that work with 3.75 scale toys. The adult skeletons themselves are barely only three inches tall, though, so. Pretty tiny. I don't have any photos of them with Marvel people at the moment, but here's another six inch figure to give you a sense of scale.



Lots of articulation.
Come to think of it, I have a 3.75 Thanos, I dunno why I didn't just use that instead of the BAF.

@Triv

It's really unfortunate that DP casting didn't go with Janelle Monae. I dig her. She's smart, talented (acting range), beautiful, and given her live performance abilities (choreographed numbers)...I could see her being sort of a natural fit for more physical roles (i.e. super heroes). While it's my opinion that C-list comic book characters often don't receive the same iconic treatment flagship heroes do, Domino has been given a distinct enough look that I sort of see what you are saying. About the actual casting, I don't watch Atlanta so I have no opinion about the actor one way or the other....not that you asked me! lol

It's still fairly gummy. He's one of those figures that I just had to find a solid standing pose and leave him in it, if it didn't look as good as it does I would be disappointed.

Mine wasn't that bad, guess I got lucky.

You know I'd be on board. I understood him not being in GotG1 for story purposes what with Peter needing to be "alone" but a Nova movie could be quite the visual treat to say the least.

I thought she was great in Moonlight and Hidden Figures.

[Trivial Psychic]

@ Brownfinger and Blue Marvel...

Can you imagine had Janelle been cast, how perfect an opportunity it would have been for a choreographed musical number in Deadpool 2? Would have probably been the best sequence of the upcoming film (not that we have anything to base that off of just yet, although to be honest, I really didn't think the new DP2 "trailer" was all that great...)

I'm still salty that we won't be able to see her in one of Domino's form fitting catsuits...

Nova can show up when they make Annihilation into a movie.

If for no other reason to get Quasar (wendell vaughn not the pretenders) into the mcu. And the guy who played the squid wendell on bones could play him. And hell just for gits n shiggles toss deaths head in there somewhere.

[Harbinger]

Honestly kate beckinsale is my perfect domino. She looks great in tight black leather and DEFINTELY has the chops and tude to pull off neena thurman. And i dunno whos gonna play cable but it should be either john hamm or stephen lang!

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Triv

What you've laid out would have been awesome indeed. Oh, what could've been...

Agreed on the trailer. I wasn't impressed either, but I'm not a big Deadpool guy. I like Ryan Reynolds, but sometimes actors overstep their boundaries and the rift with Tim Miller prior to filming the sequel, was...disquieting. Some actors have the chops to ply their craft and step "behind the camera," while others should simply stay in their lane. I suspect Reynolds may represent the latter. But hey, maybe the flick will surprise me and hit similar high notes to the first film.

I'm approaching DP2 and GotG2 with cautious optimism.

He said they had 60 Groots at the start of the week, and they get in another shipment tomorrow, and to call in. Here's hoping...

My TRU also started to limit returns... like you can only return so many of the same type of item before they start refusing the return... they track all your returns now in the computer because you gotta have ID now... before you didn't need one. I think this has discouraged scalping a bit here.

@DarkToyLord, the dcpi for the Xmen is 087 06 5418. As for the Gotg, they're only available online at Marvel store and I think Disney Store at the moment. Hope that helps.

I'll definitely post up as soon as I have it. I had seen a bunch for sale for a while on eBay, but then they all dried up suddenly. I've been keeping an eye out and jumped when I saw one available.

I've posted pics of my MCU Legends before, but the mutants can no longer sit in the dark. I've made the decision to include my X-Men figures into my display (plus my all time favorite villain Dr. Doom, until F4 goes back to Marvel Studios).

[Augustus_Cole]
