I wish they would make some Doom Bots! I have one that was part of ToyBiz back in the day, I think! I wish Hasbro would do some version of Doom Bots, I would even take a version from some of their cartoon back in the day, too! Imo, those Sentinels scream, milking the cow dry or come get me sucker! Lol to each is own!

"Servo-Guards," buddy. Lol Byrne-style Servo-Guards, specifically. Doom-Bots look like Doom, and that's not what I want. What I want are the Servos and Doom's green (also Byrne-style; his look better than Kirby's) Killer-Bots.

Yeah, they're pretty dope! At one point, during the Toy Biz days, there were marketing teases for the Servo-Guards.

I really like the new Iceman too! I got the WWII Wolverine and Enchantress in as well and I really like them. I agree, the top 10 is going to be rough this time around.

I just need to track down the BAF parts for Executioner.

[AFU]

Anyone get any notice on the X-Men 97 Sentinel? Have a feeling they going to drop it X-Mas time so it hurts our wallets….Shame, Hasbro, seems like we been waiting close to a year for this bad boy, and it’s not even a Haslab! Wow!

Dec 15h is the ship date.

^^^Yep, right around Christmas time! Fudge!

Note: Any thoughts on the Mezco Hulk? I pre ordered it, and it will be my first Mezco purchase.

[TheBlueMarvel]

Lots of orders are rolling in this week.

Boss Fight’s Death and Kier, the first two offerings from their Court of the Dead line, kicked things off on Monday.

Today I received my Executioner wave and will be building the BAF tonight. Additionally, my Starfox and Champion arrived, which I am most excited about.

Tomorrow I’m expecting my Four Horsemen Figure Obscura: Jersey Devil and Gods of Egypt: Thoth. Very excited about those deliveries.

The 2nd retro wave (not sure what # retro wave it is but it has Surfer in it), Astonishing Beast, and Black Bolt & Triton should be here on Friday. And I have a second Astonishing Beast, Medusa & Gorgon, Nick Fury & Punisher, in my pile of loot awaiting Iceman to clear preprocessing for me to ship.

Apparently, Christmas came in November this year.

EDIT: Quick thoughts - Why did it take so long for The Executioner? The fig is nearly pitch perfect. There are some articulation nitpicks I could make, but the overall presentation is very satisfying. The Enchantress is both better and worse than the other iterations, if that makes any sense. Warbow is great, but I'm a Crystar homer. I'm happy for this particular Jack Russell look and I wasn't expecting a whole lot. That said, they could have done better on the head sculpt, offered an additional noggin, and a set of fists. Spider-God, mysterium Iron Man, and Phantom Rider are just there. Not bad, but not very meaningful to me as a Marvel fan.

Also, X-Men '97 plastic appears to be the future.

EDIT: Hasbro has done an excellent job on both Eros and Slatterus. The designs are simple but handled with a fair amount of care and detail in both sculpt and paint. There’s a good amount of part re-use, but I'm very happy with these additions to my cosmic collection. Starfox surprised me with how much I like it, especially considering that I grew up not caring for the character. It possesses a subtle awesomeness IMO. Well done for what it is. The presentation is similar to FA Star-Lord, Firelord, FA Yondu, and FA Ikaris. The pictures I saw of the two-pack had me a little worried about the expressions. The heads look much better in real time and I I'm happy for it.

I haven't pre-ordered it but I am entertaining the thought. I haven't picked up any of Hasbro's green Hulks since the 80th anniversary 2-pack version, I didn't like the head sculpts on the 20 years of Legends one and I like the Maximum heads even less.

[Spyne98]

The 2 Inhumans packs, Feral and Rachel are all coming from Pulse. Busy week!

[Veronica Mars]

Almost all my legends and classified series preorders have hit my Pile of Loot, just waiting for Iceman and Black Bolt & Triton

[Hulkwummy]

My Silver Surfer and Feral has shipped and should be here by Friday.

[ThorOdinson123]

Not a lot of legends Black Friday deals on amazon today

[redfox]

My Enchantress from Amazon arrived today. She's fun, but now I'm really feeling the need for updated versions of Valkyrie & Hela.

[TheBlueMarvel]

Blackagar Boltagon is very impressive, and Triton meets the same bar.

Astonishing Beast is easily my favorite Beast fig. Now I want New Xmen cat-face Beast. And, of course, X-Factor Beast.

I'm hoping to complete the royals with Gorgon (can't wait for that jam) and Medusa next week.

In other news, year one Daredevil is the joint. I am really, really digging this figure. I thought Feral was going to be the highpoint of the figs I received today. And Feral is cool, no doubt. But the sleeper got me. I may buy another two of these Daredevil figs. There have been a great deal of highly satisfying figs this year. Hasbro has been consistently delivering on what I want and we've still a month to go.

Now for Rachel.

I must say, too, overall the Marvel Legends team do a great job…So many bangers, really!

Some of asked for more size in the figures…Executioner, Juggernaut Maximum Hulk, Sentinel 97, Gorgon, and Champion I’m happy with…

Some of us asked for more female characters, with more attention to detail to them, Psylocke, Madama Hydra, Emma Frost, Rachel Summers, and Warbird, and Deathbird pass the test for me…

Yes, I feel that the Marvel Legends team is listening to the fan, and in turn, the Marvel Legends figures are getting better….

[Captain Nash]

All those inhumans and not the one I would actually want (that I don't have, already have Crystal, medusa and BB). Hopefully we get Maximus next year - we are SO close!!

The new Medusa looks like an improvement to the old one, and Blackbolt seems like and upgrade with butterfly joints and pinless joints. I will be getting the inhumanoids 2 packs because Medusa and Blackbolt are not just repaints and come with two new characters…These might be the best two backs to value, imo!

[Dr Kain]

Guess I'm gettign Iceman and Silver Surfer as both shipped from Amazon a month early.

Canceled my Rachel preorder as I don't need her.

I hoping that “paint” on the new Surfer is more chrome then previous versions, if so, I will pick him up!
