Wasp no cleavage....no sale

Anyone that says Luke Cage was boring is crazy!!

Anyway, This arrived today:

The Sentinel is cool, though I hate the shoulder guards. As for Wolverine, he's all right. The paint job is good, but the joints are kind of loose. Honestly, this is not $100 toy. I think I paid $55 for Galactus and that figure has way more paint detail than this Sentinel. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have one of these guys in my collection, and I want two more, but I wouldn't recommend spending more than around $75 for this set if you are don't feel you need a Sentinel in your collection.

So after initially thumbing my nose at it, I caved and ordered the new DoFP Sentinel set. My primary ML focus is X-Men and I've been wanting a Sentinel for a while. Should arrive today. I still think the TB one is superior all-around, but I can't justify its whopping price tag on the secondary market. Hopefully this new one won't look as Playschool-like in hand as it does in photos. I'll definitely be adding some custom deco and detailing.

Hasbro, l can not say enough good things about the the Silver Surfer and Thing action figures...Out of the box, they are bad ass! This year, IMO, Hasbro has done an ok job on waves, hopefully next year they will do better...Also, I think Hasbro did a more than ok job on getting ‘B List’ characters into Marvel Legends...Love Sauron, Mysterio, Black Knight, X-23, Spider-Man Noir, and Lasher, who I just got today.

That’s probably because that’s the only type he gets to see. Ha.

@AFU nice pick ups! You’re totally right the thing is definite hand candy. One of the best legends ever made

Pravus Prime · 10-20-2018, 04:10 PM

Got a call this afternoon from GameStop that my Archangel figure came in, so I stopped by, they also had MCU Ultron for me as well.

This is my first time even seeing the Archangel mold in person, let alone handling or owning it. I like it.

MCU Ultron is bigger then I was expecting (I didn't get a single figure from that wave when he was a BAF), but there's something I can't quite put my finger on that seems to be lacking personality.

That's why I'm assuming it isn't a joke.

Older figure, but still hella fun to play with. Which variant did you get?

Yep, that's the one. And I didn't know there were variants?

I think extra hands would have gone a long way for variety with Ultron. Maybe an extra head too but definitely hands even if it was just a set of fists.

LightDaggers · 10-21-2018, 02:33 AM

My dream has finally come true to get the Jubilee figure I needed. I'M SO HAPPY!!!!

I'm gonna get her as soon as possible. Ya know, when she's released. I actually hugged my brother when I found out about her, it was whenever NYCC was. I'm also super excited about Forge, he's also looking great.

Augustus_Cole · 10-21-2018, 03:01 AM

I read that before looking at the name and thought..... 'this sounds like a new person'
and I look and it's your 9th post...so ...HELLOOOO NEW PERSON!!..

and.....Agreed...I'm looking forward to getting both of these figures as well.

Thanks for the welcome!

Captain Nash · 10-21-2018, 07:38 AM

so I'm totally going to rip a thread from Fwoosh that sounds interesting and see some interesting responses hopefully - excluding what has already been officially revealed, if there was only one wave of Marvel Legends left, what would you include in it? It can have up to 8 figures, and while I don't think they made this rule, it can have no more than 3 female characters. You can absoutely mix properties, indeed I'd think you'd have to in this case.

Mine would be:

Firestar
Justice
Moonstar
Northstar
Count Nefaria
Graviton
Jim Lee Storm
Nightcrawler

BAF: Beast

I think that looks better than the fabric jackets they sell on ebay that peeps use for Cyclops & Wolverine.

Ken that looks incredible! That’s probably my favorite look for Scott.
