I quit counting,

^^BTW Nite, you of all people HAD to be happy that Whizzer showed up in the new season of Jessica Jones huh?...

If Nite is giving his review...I really need to finish my own. I covered Prowler, Spider-Woman and Spider-Punk. Moving on...

Mysterio: Here's a well done version of this character, and honestly, I wasn't expecting much as I still think the ToyBiz version holds up pretty well. I like what Hasbro ave us, as I really appreciate the fact that they actually sculpted the lines into his suit (as opposed to painting them on like they did with Shocker) and the use of greens are well done. I dig the effects as well, but I'm not a huge fan of the snake/skull head underneath (I got the white version.) I also would have liked to see a bit more paint, as he feels unfinished without it. This guy is dying for a black wash, as well as a bit of frosting on the inside of the helmet to better conceal the monstrous head.

Lasher: I have been extremely vocal in wanting the Life Foundation symbiotes, and it appears that Hasbro is finally going to give them to us. Lasher was one of my favorite figures in this wave, although I'm a bit biased in saying so. I love the paintwork, as well as the smooth finish to the figure. The reuse of the tentacles from Superior Venom was pretty well done as well, although I really wish some bendy wires would have been incorporated. I also wish that the figure would have been done on the Bucky Cap or Spider-UK body, as I feel the Pizza/Superior Venom body is just too small for him. I also wish the hands would have had a more claw like appearance. Prowler's hands would have worked MUCH better than the standard claw hands he ended up receiving. Despite these gripes, I'm really glad to have this guy. I hope that Hasbro goes all the way and gives us the rest of the Life Foundation team after we get Scream in the upcoming Venom wave.

Spider-Man Noir: This one is a weird one, not because I was excited to receive the character, but more that I was excited by the customization possibilities he represents. With the Starlord/Aim Soldier body, as well as that black trenchcoat, what we have here is a near perfect opportunity to update A LOT of characters that were done on that crappy Nick Fury body. The fact that it's a flat black body with almost no paint BEGS for it to be customized. Red Skull, Nick Fury, Blade...even DC's Red Hood can all be easily done thanks to this great buck that has nearly none of the issues that shitty Nick Fury body did. I'm gonna need four or five of him as of this writing. As for the figure itself, it's really well done, thanks to the superior mold it's on. My gripes are super minimal...I would have liked for them to include the spider logo on the back of his under-jacket, and I feel the head is a little bit oversized. Also, the laser pistols...REALLY? You have both a revolver and a Thompson mold Hasbro. Even reusing those Luger pistols would have made more sense. What's the problem...or the excuse? Thank goodness I had extra of both lying around. It improves the figure mounds...

Gwenpool: Controversial statement coming...hands down my favorite figure in the wave, and I know NOTHING bout this character, other than the fact that she is pretty polarizing for various reasons. It's the little details that do it for me though. Both heads are great, well painted and fun. The cell phone accessory, while tiny, is awesome, and I love that it fits in her belt. The penguin backpack is awesome, as well as the additional hands. I loved her sneakers (we now have everything we need for Colleen Wing!) and the colors really pop. The figure screams with personality, and although again, I know nothing bout her, I found myself coming back to her over and over again to goof off with. My only gripes were the lack of some sort of guns (the Punisher's white shotgun works perfectly though, as does any of the MP5 types) and it appears my figure might have two right thighs. An unmasked head sculpt would have been super appreciated as well. Gwenpool is actually a really pretty character from what I have seen in the comics, so it would have been nice to see an unmasked, anime inspired head sculpt for the character like she is drawn in the books. I'm hoping that the Toybox Black Widow figure with some paint might work, but if not, I'm gonna be a little bummed we didn't get one.

Finally, that brings me to Lizard...

Lizard: Another character I didn't think we needed, because I'm very partial to the Fearsome Foes boxset version, however, Hasbro knocked it out of the park. Yes I know he's hunched over. Yes, the leg articulation leaves a bit to be desired. Yes the tail articulation is a bit wonky, and the long tongue is a bit overdone. Yet what I love, is the huge, dinosaurian look of him. The skin is well sculpted, painted, and washed. The arms have double jointed elbows, which is uncommon for larger BAF figures. The head sculpt is terrifying, and the look is also borrowed from one of my favorite Lizard stories of all time, "Torment." Now only if Hasbro one day would give us a Calypso figure, all will be right with the world.

Ultimately Brickseek is just a random crap shoot but it does have a seed of reality in there and it can be helpful but, not always.

So...like I said...it's a placebo. Lol...Gotcha...

Today turned out to be an excellent day for Marvel Legends hunting. I swung by TRU on my way home from a work trip. Ended up finding Ghost Rider, Widow, Proxima, Songbird, Snake dude whose name escapes me and Taskmaster for buy 1 get 1 40% off. Best of all, TRU's system automatically discounted Ghost Rider and 2 of the standard figures rather than doing a lowest item discounted.

Stopped by Target later for something and decided to swing by the toy section. Grabbed the entire Lizard wave minus Spider-Woman. Best of all, they all rung up at $12.29 each. Now I just need to find a Spider-Woman.

Finished the day up snagging Iron Spider at Walgreens when I stopped in on my way home from dinner with friends. Sadly full price for him but I will take the win for the discounts on the rest today. I had not really intended to get the cinematic characters or finish Thanos for this wave but with only needing Cap now, I will snag him if I see him.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the reason he uses laser pistols is because that's what he uses in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon after he's taken out of his own time/universe. Maybe Hasbro included them to be more familiar to the kids who might pick one up??? That's the only logical explanation I can think of.

This reminds me of Young Guns 2 when Chavez asks Christian Slater if he wants his knife back.

[Zorglorfian]

Anyone have / selling the Scarlet Witch / Vision 2-Pack? Message me if so.

[DarthKamen]

I'm jealous of all the people that own Hela. I saw her before I started collecting but it seems as soon as I jump on board she disappeared.

So am I. In fact, I just got done rewatching the first 9 seasons of the show not too long ago, put out my top 10 favorite episodes two weeks ago, and plan to have my worst episodes video out today on my channel.

Anyway, USPS is pissing me off. I sent DarkLord some BAF parts for Okoye and they still haven't delivered it to him. -_-

Oh, and who is Proxima Midnight exactly? She isn't listed in my Marvel Encyclopedia at all and I don't remember her from the Infinity War comics I read.

[Augustus_Cole]

I brought just my receipt to TRU to get credited for the current BOGO sale. The girl told me they CAN'T do it unless i bring all of the figure back in because they have to make sure i have them....ummm..WHAT.
i go to another TRU..... the girl says...SURE....takes my receipt..does't some number crunchin and punchin...and hands me $25 and some change!!!..
TRU associate FTW!!!


Sidenote: i was just charged for my Vision and SW two pack from TRU.

[Spyne98]

Super happy with the Walmart Thanos. I wish we got this in place of the BAF a few years ago. I think the gauntlet looks great on him!
