The Mangaverse stuff is pretty hit-or-miss, but I enjoyed Spider-Man more than most of the other books. If you're looking for the trades, Spidey's stories are collected in Marvel Mangaverse Vol. 1 (the Spider-Man one-shot), Marvel Mangaverse Vol. 3: Legend of the Spider-Clan (the Legend of the Spider-Clan 5-issue mini series), and New Mangaverse: The Rings of Fate (crossover story).

I hope we get her to. Here is my issue with Black Panther, and if I offend anyone, i apologize in advance as I am playing on the race of the characters a bit.

We have a huge milestone with the first MCU black lead. Most of the entire cast is black. That is awesome! I am all for representation of all people, and the fact is this movie SHOULD represent properly. But if the rumored list is true, we have Black Panther and a bunch of white people. It's not cool. It treads on disrespectful to the vision of the Black Panther line up.

You look at Mattel's line up for the ML compatible toys. SIx figures, five women. That movie was about female representation. Say what you want about the quality of the figures, but they brought it home with representation. I want Hasbro to do the same with the Black Panther wave.

Again I apologize if this was in any way offensive, I know topics of racial matters can be delicate, but I think it's a very legitimate concern with this movie and its Legends line.

But we did get Grim Reaper out of that wave. Still I know what you mean. Grimmy was a pegwarmer but he was much needed IMO. And I rarely saw the other two villains on the shelves, just Wasp, Ant-Man and Giant Man. and more Wasp...and more Wasp. So I get what you're saying, and we experienced the same with the Dr. Strange wave for sure. I think it's hard for Hasbro to know what figures to put in a "first movie" wave, but as my above comments notes, there should be some care given on this one if they don't want to piss off a whole demographic AND the collecting community. I'd much rather have a Killmonger than a 33rd version of Iron Man.....

Okay, real quick rundown on Moon Knight, since we were fortunate enough to find one last night.



Putting aside the costume choice (which I'm much more fond of than his other options, but to each their own), the figure itself is very solid. The new tooling for the armored pieces is very welcome, though the chest/back armor pieces fit in a little loosely (not ridiculously so, but they are loose enough to rattle occasionally against the plastic of the torso). I am digging the additional ankle swivel, and I hope we get to see it more in the future. It's not a necessary joint, but it makes posing a hell of a lot easier. The peg on his cape is a little too shallow and pliable to properly hold it into his back, but the collar helps it stay.



While the finger-claws/tiny boomerangs are difficult to get into the slots, it's not the level of frustration I've heard from others, especially if you put the middle one in first. That said, I have a pair of DCUC Catman's hand-claws that I may donate to him all the same.



His moon-erang is my favorite accessory, but it also makes me sad, since it's the only white plastic on the whole figure that has any blemishes/discoloration. Hopefully all of y'all's MKs will be more fortunate.



Can we please get a proper staff to start using here? Though when separated into his tonfas, they go very nicely with his fencing wrist joints.



All in all, I'm very happy with this figure, and I'd recommend snapping him up on sight.

BB you're gonna make me want that Moon Knight darn you. He looks sweet even though I really don't like that outfit. I think it's the Moon-a-rangs (moonjitsu?) that do it.

A bunch of people already hate me on Tumblr for making them want Transformers they otherwise wouldn't have bought, just by taking decent photos...

I will check it out on Sunday, maybe even snap a pic in it for you guys, if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

As for an Ark group... well, I live down here, so even if I don't have a con pass, I can bum around with you loser nerrrrrds.

And we have a place to crash when we all suddenly appear down there. Right? RIGHT??? But yes seriously looking forward to the pics and the scale of the thing. if I were there I'd have to do it.

Thanks, yes, and no. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision when we helped a bunch of our friends get their four-day passes (we had about a dozen of us in the queue for passes), and right after the last four-day was bought, another one of us got into the purchase stage, and my wife and I figured 'what the hell' and bought single-day tix. Sunday is haggle day, after all!

And the Thor set is cool, but with Jane hitting shelves in a single-pack, there's nothing I want out of it. Would rather use the money to get A-Force (and maybe, just maybe, find a Magik or fill out my MMPR Legacy figures - only missing three).

Well that's cool it worked out for you. I'm jealous. One day I'm going to go to that I swear. The local cons here are nice but I never find anything interesting to buy. My local claim is we have had of the Jem cartoon vocalists repeatedly show up at several cons, wasn't sure who was following who around....and you guys get exclusives!!

Im no nerd .......* strikes super hero/three amigos fists on hips pose * I'M A GEEK! and I will drink anyone under the table

[Archangel]

All this excitement, and I still can only find Sandman wave figures, and other various peg warmers at every Walgreens, Target, and my shitty TRU I visit. I can't even find the Spidey wave and the movie has been out for a few weeks. I had to drive 70 miles to find a couple Homecoming figures. It's not worth that drive. I might as well pay a scalper for that Dark Phoenix 2-pack, and I hate that.

So word over at Marvelousnews from someone is that someone from the Hasbro/Marvel team indicated the last panal of Saturday's presentation is going to blow the panel away.

Calling it now: it's Sauron!!! Or Storm.

For those at the show, how's the Diorama looking this year?

"Meat tank Bishiop" Ha!!!!

Unrelated thought to Legends, who else thinks that we'll likely see a new Thor trailer this weekend/next week? Me think it's very likely.

ALso possibly an Infinity War teaser? I can't believe its' getting so close....
