I emphatically agree with this comment. I know everyone has their own idiosyncratic preferences as it regards 'beauty.' but I think women with strong jawlines are quite attractive. Rihanna, Olivia Wilde, Kat Dennings, Teyana Taylor, Angelina Jolie, and Christina Hendricks all have prominent jaws and they're knockouts IMHO.

I really hope everyone gets a chance to own the figures in this set, they're spectabulous. We've come a long way since Hasbro told us that lady figures don't sell years ago at Botcon.

Elsa with that shovel looks like it came straight from the comic. Love it! Gonna have to go hunt down a tiny shovel myself, now.

I'm trying to wait out on buying the rest of the A-force in the hopes that the set will be released again. It's just too great of a combination of fan-favorite characters to see such a limited release. Hoping we hear something soon.

Bleh, my winning streak has momentarily come to an end, as my area is completely wiped out of Netflix and Thor waves.

Hopefully I will see more in the future, just want that movie Thor darn it!

There's also a 20% off code you could use for ML. I was jumping for joy but apparently all the Marvel Legends even the Deadpool one isn't available for me in my location to buy even to order or ship. Walmart is good for buying ML too but I wish more stores had free shipping online especially Walmart that would be awesome. So just for anyone who can do it, go for it

What is the code?!!

Just found the first signs of the Netflix wave in my area. Haven't found anything from Thor: Ragnarok.

Wendigo5326 · 08-06-2017, 07:44 PM

Is anyone able to hook me up without DCPI #'s for the Netflix wave?

Weapon X · 08-06-2017, 08:47 PM

I'd like to know as well.

Man-Thing - Awesome figure, but flawed. I had to get a second JJ just to get an ab crunch that work. The trade off was no ratchet joints for the arms that I had with the first body with the bad ab crunch. -_-

That aside, the sculpt is fantastic, he looks very swamp-like, and the paint job is great. I have a feeling they are going to remold this into Sasquatch in the near future as he has a peg hole in his neck that is probably going to be used to attach Puck or maybe the owl onto him.

Dare Devil - I like that he has alternate hands, the sculpt is nice, but he has a lot of loose parts on mine. I'm probably going to end up selling him off in the near future though. At least his sticks are not made of a Dentyne Ice stick.

Elektra - Good god are her lower arms huge. It makes her look like she is actually a cross dressing Popeye. That aside, I do like her despite not being completely red. The sais are cool, but they are really sticky due to the tape, so I expect them to get dirty quite quickly from it. If you have Mary Jane, you know to expect as most of her body is just a reuse of her. Oh, and mine has this line that goes around her face from her cheeks to her forehead. I have no idea why it is like that, but it is. Still, she will do until we get a real Elektra.

Jessica Jones - This figure is a surprise to me because I expected to hate her. I wish she had some additional hands and an accessory or something. Nevertheless, the sculpt is great (although like Elektra, she has a line running from her forehead down to the bottom of her neck), she looks just like Ritter even down to the odd eye line, and the jacket is cool. She will make a nice random civilian if I buy the comic version of her. Oh, and MJ's head looks great on her body too.

I was kind of excited when they announced a new MCU Loki, mostly because I have no Legends scale Loki. While this isn't an bad figure there's a couple areas for improvement. First is the cape, it's finicky. Mine seems to be staying put at the moment, but it's a real pain getting the pegs to plug into the holes. Secondly, his accessories, that he has none. This figure would have benefited from a staff, or some daggers, maybe even a recolor of the MCU Scarlet Witch effects, but all he has is the headdress, which is much needed, since without it the facial features looks a bit small and crowded into the middle of the face. The only other thing of note is, why the extreme ab crunch?

Veronica Mars · 08-06-2017, 10:41 PM

IMO this Gamora figure is the stand out of the GotG vol 2 figures, based on appearance alone, she's very striking. I could wish she had a second set of hands but otherwise no complaints. I'm definitely considering switching her with the 5pk Gamora in my Guardians display.

Mantis is a pretty solid figure. I'm glad I was able to complete her. I do wish they'd have put her in the 2 pack with Ego and figured out a different BAF for the wave

Yea I only recently got that Mr Fantastic and I love him.

I love both of these figures. Hasbro got it done with all the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy this year, and I'm hoping for the same with Infinity War.

I'm surprised they didn't give him knives.

Spyne98 · 08-07-2017, 09:33 AM

I think I'm gonna end up getting Mantis and re painting her to be a comic version from the 2008 team. I have a few parts, just need the arms.

Weapon X · 08-07-2017, 10:37 AM

I'm pretty pissed that Loki is wearing blue instead of green.

I think what amuses me more than the obviously wrong colors the figure is, is the fact that it bears more of a resemblance to Anthony Hopkins in The Silence Of The Lambs wearing a bad wig, than it does to Tom Hiddelston. Every time I look at it, I hear Loki telling Sif how he enjoyed Thor's liver over some faarva beans and a Chianti...
