Just go to Walgreens.com and search “Thing”.

My Studios Iron Man 3 pack arrived today much to my surprise, a whole two days before it was originally scheduled, and I lucked out today at Walgreens as well, finding the Thing. Haven't really had time to mess around with either of them today, but I did pick up a couple of other loose, 10 year MCU figs recently, so I'll cover those for today...

Bucky (Infinity War Version): First things first, I managed to snag Bucky loose here off of eBay for around 22 dollars shipped, and while I wasn't initially impressed with this figure upon seeing it in store, I will admit that it's a much better figure once you get it in hand. It might in fact be my favorite MCU Bucky we've received yet.



The sculpt appears to be an all new one, a modernized version of his gear from CA: First Avenger, while the cyborg arm is the same one we've seen with previous Bucky releases, only with a golden wash over it. It's a good look for the character, and one that finally scales a lot better too, as it's lacking the ridiculously large feet of the previous figures. The head sculpt itself is a straight re-use of the one from the Civil War Walmart Exclusive, which was a good one, but unfortunately is not accurate to this version of the character, who was sporting a lot more facial hair, and longer, straitened hair. Despite those flaws, it's nicely printed, rendering the Civil War version completely obsolete, and the best part is that it fits on previous MCU Bucky figures with no modding required and a nearly perfect skin tone match. The masked CA:WS headsculpt works on this new Bucky as well, allowing for some more variety of looks...



There's a bit of degradation going on with this cyborg arm mold however, as the hand and fingers on mine were smushed together and were rather messy. The figure was unable to hold anything in his left initially out of the packaging, and required a bit of heat and prodding to get it to resemble something that looked like a hand. He comes with the same alien looking sniper rifle we received with the Winter Soldier version, only with a much nicer paint scheme, but truthfully, it would have been nicer to have received his actual weapon from the film.

All in all, a really good update to MCU Bucky (one that I didn't know I would need...) and one worth picking up if you can find it loose, since honestly, the updated Falcon is really not all that great of an upgrade when compared to the original.



MCU Thanos (Infinity War): I was also able to pick up the MCU Thanos for about 30 bucks shipped off of eBay, and I'm going to keep this pretty simple...this is the version of the figure that we should have received as the BAF from the first Infinity War wave. Everything about this version of the figure is superior to the original BAF. The paints are crisp and really pop thanks to some better color choices, and the new head sculpts are really well done. The fisted hand from the original BAF also works with this Thanos, and while it's slightly different in color tone, it's not really all that noticeable, allowing you for another option to pose this bad boy. Honestly, if we had received this version of the figure instead of the awful one that was a BAF, I think you would have heard a lot less complaints about it overall.

Definitely worth picking up if you can find it loose at a good price, or are willing to drop extra on the three pack.

Supposedly Amazon had sold more Sentinels during the night, but I can't say for sure as they have never notified me when he is instock like they are supposed to. Also, I swear they are selling like 1 at a time.

[Nostalgic]

Success! Just found Thing at Walgreens! Anyone on the New England area, they are available.

I'll take a Logan off your hands if you're selling..

Since I plan to eventually get 3 Sentinels (if they ever actually get instock and I have the money), you can definitley have one of the Logans.

EE preorder made it today!

Is she online yet?

[En Sabah Nerd]

I checked both of my local Walgreens after the site last night said they had Thing but all they had was Mr Fantastic. I'm thinking that their system counts these guys as the same item. I did find the black series General Veers so that was a nice consolation as my hunt for Ben continues.

[Augustus_Cole]

WHYYYYY is future foundation Spidey so pricey and still climbing????
I've wanted this for a minute..seems like the longer I wait..the more it goes up in price.

God damn it, I'm already having enough trouble getting Ben and Norrin, now the one that I've been dying to get since 2015 is popping up?!

Jesus effin' christ.

All but guarantee it. Two stores were listed last night as having Ben in stock, checked them both today, neither Ben nor Surfer, but plenty of Medusa, Namor, and Reed. All their exclusives must have the same sorting code.

I don't recall all too well but wasn't Big Time the much rarer of the 2? I have BT somewhere but don't think I ever found a FF primarily cause I was looking so hard for the other one.

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been thinking about creating an account ever since TRU went under, as the community is more important now than ever. Also, I've been enjoying everyone's thoughts and pics for a long time now, and should be showing said appreciation...

I'll get right to it: I accidentally ended up with two Walgreens Thing figures and would like (if possible) to trade him for a Walgreens Magik figure. I ended up with two Ben's when I purchased one from eBay (I had a hard time finding the Surfer, and was worried about not finding Ben, who is my favorite comic book character) and my girlfriend--knowing my love of the character and concerns--also picked one up for me.

So one issue: the packaging on my unopened Thing is not the best (PM me for pics), so this is definitely going to need to go to someone who is opening the figure and not concerned about boxes. I fall into the latter category, and had I know I was getting two Things I'd have waited to open the beat-up packaging. Doh!

Fortunately, the figure itself looks good (again, PM me for pics). Like I said, I'd prefer to trade for Magik since she's another of my favorites and I'm afraid I'll never see her in stores, but am also willing to just sell Ben at cost plus shipping ($25 in US) to someone having a hard time finding him. I live in NC, and will work with whoever PM's me first.

I'll endeavor to add some actual content to the larger conversation soon once I figure out how to add pics to my posts, promise. Thanks!

Found Thing today. The store nearest to my house had 5 of him.
No sign of SW General Veers, TF Wreck-Gar, or ML Magik yet.

I'll be glad to trade my Logans for some BaF parts or anyone's 3.75 inch figures.

[BAD MOON]

Found Magik last night in the Halloween section at Walgreens. Be sure to check there as a secondary spot.

lol That's kind of fitting.

Wait, General Veers is also a Walgreens exclusive? I thought he was a regular release? CRAP!
