I've had a love affair with words since an early age! I learned many moons ago that the Cuban culture's literacy rate was one of the highest in the world - well into the 90's and has been there for decades. Fluency in the language of your country of origin (even better is adding languages outside of any nationalistic perspective) isn't just important for communication, but also serves as a mighty tool for understanding the environment/world that surrounds. However, less important are the words uttered than is the content and context of what's being said.

...I deflect literacy/education-shaming like Cap does bullets with his shield!


Oh shit....let me make this germane (errr, "relevant?") to the thread: Anybody got any great wishlists they've been working on??? Ahahaha!

Agreed. Even though I have Silk, I welcome this update, but the pot would've been exponentially sweetened had it included Sif and a freshly resurrected Elektra.

That Sif color scheme should have won, in my estimation. But I can't really complain because, while I'm at least vaguely aware of how to be among the 'counted' in these sorts of polls, I really couldn't be bothered to go out of my way to participate.

I am guessing Disney told them too or something. But what I don't get is those guns needed to be glued in but its ok for Deadpool to be packaged with his Jerk off Unicorn?

oh ok I would like Deadpool Colossus if possible

Of course a Spider character won. I wanted Sif Thor doesn't get much love these days

Do we know if Silk is part of a wave or a fan channel exclusive?

Semi ML-related, anyone see the prototype Legends-style Batman Dave Vonner showed off??

[TheBlueMarvel]

Hadn't seen, but those look pretty damn good, provided they are on the 1/12 scale. I wasn't aware of anyone having DC's license outside of McFarlane...who's responsible for this wizardry (albeit without readily apparent shin swivels)?

On a Marvel Legends/Amazon-order related update note: My Nimrod pack was finally marked as "shipped" this morning and, 10 minutes later, there's another alert that it's on my doorstep. Of course, in typical anti 'patience as a virtue' fashion, I became jumpy last weekend and ordered the set via a slightly-more-than-retail auction on Ebay, which arrived on on Thursday. I wanted two sets anyway, but had planned to take advantage of Amazon's tendency to reduce the cost of ML box-sets a few months after release...oh, well. I knew better than to do what I did.

For anyone shuffled to the "delayed shipment" list waiting on their Nimrods to be delivered, looks like the pipes are unclogged.

They're unused protos prepped before Mattel shifted Vonner to WWE. They'll never see production.

Made my own flame effects for Pyro. Not pro level, but good enough for me & better than what Hasbro threw in with him.

Healing factor or not........getting a fireblast to the nuts still has to hurt like hell.

Those are some great shots nim.

Word on the street is that Disney frowns upon their toys having guns that are TOO realistic. Hasbro lightly glued the Desert Eagles into the holsters as a work-around, knowing that most people would probably be able to get them out with hot water.

I don't know how much water that theory holds, as plenty of other Legends figures come with realistic guns (but an equal number don't). So I don't know.

As mentioned above, it won't.

If only Hasbro had the DC contract to make 6' scale figs. That head sculpt for the Black cowled Bats looks like Vindicator's headsculpt minus the ears.

Sadly never, it's an unreleased prototype

I saw that after. A shame as that looks far superior compared to what McFarlane has provided.

[Harbinger]

Just a couple mods. Gave spymaster the yellow harness from bulbhead....err leader. Put a new head and human hand on winter soldier (so he can actually hold a weapon) to make him a new character......whom I haven’t named yet.
