It's 20 bucks and I cannot understand why. They are all reused bodies and simple repaints without BAFs. Even the packaging is less costly...so I do not get this at all.

FINALLY...a wave i do not want...and i'm glad there is no BAF as well ( my pockets is like....THANK DA LAWD!!)
The only one I'll try to pick up from that wave is Widow..

you just contradicted yourself, you want it or not?

which one are you talking about? more details.

Today went to Walgreens, and saw about 10 Jonny Storm figures on the shelves...After analyzing him through the plastic clam shell, his body frame seemed less bulky in person and I was happy with the optics...I am glad he looked better in person, so grabbed him, and with my points from Walgreens...IMO, he looked better in hand than the pictures I have seen online recently...Definitely, very happy to add him to my growing ML collection...Good job, Hasbro, now bring on Mr. Fantastic and Thing...

key word being wave you clown...
plus..i'm on an internet chat board..i could say the sky is green and the grass is blue and tomorrow say something totally different and whoooooooooo cares ???

I'm glad those who want this Vintage wave are getting it. Also glad it's something I have no interest in. The last thing I need is another Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, etc figure, unless they are REALLY different.

is that Widow the MJ head?

*edit* i think it is. Makes me want to get that and put a different head on it.

Yup

Edit: that's what everyone else who buys it is likely going to do...I'll actually use that head for MJ since I prefer her sans freckles.

FYI The Amazon Defenders pack is also a set of repaints (the only exception being Luke's boots) with Silk's head on Jewel/Jessica Jones/whatever...

damn....

oh well..

so totally :offtopic
since there is no thread
Storm Collectibles..Mike Tyson 1:12..hahaha...i ...MUST...OWN..THIS...

Word? I must see...

Edit: seen....looks cool, but the shoulders and arms aren't built powerfully enough, which leads me to believe that the back might also be off...

FYI, Vitage wave up for pre order on EBay...Snagged Iroman because did not like the bell bottoms on the previous version of the figure...

are you sure you're looking at the right one.. i saw about 8 shots of it (NOT TO BE confused with the the 1:6 scale one.
and he actually looked "too big" to me...but that's a moot point because it says it's a proto and not the final product.


***************************************


Does anyone have a Ronan wave Mr. Fantastic they're trying to get rid of???

lol bell-bottoms....exactly the reason I want this new Iron Man. Although the big boots of the previous version are comic accurate, the armor was quickly (Marvel likely responding to feedback) refined by Tony to feature these smaller more streamlined boots.

@Dark

Yes, I'm referring to the same one you are. Too big? Nah, man...not in my opinion. It may be a little too cut, or vascular. People often make the mistake of thinking being ripped equates to mass. Tyson had 'boulder shoulders' and at least 17-18 inch arms. He was built like a damn fire-hydrant and didn't look smaller despite standing in front of much taller, much larger men...he was very stocky with an unusually broad back. That fig (again IMO) doesn't convey much of that. The face is good...

Where are you seeing it? I typed in 1:12, but maybe, because it's new, I'm seeing stock images of the 1:6...

EDIT: LOL...just found it on their FB page. Yup, way too big. He looks like a cartoon...

I'm not sure if they've said but I do know the old Marvel Superheroes line had the FF in their navy blue and white costumes, Silver Surfer, Dr. Doom, Venom, and a yellow and blue Wolverine. I think the vintage line would be a good avenue to release those variants of the FF after the Walgreens exclusives are done.

Dorkside posted on the Fwoosh that they probably wouldn't be offering singles since Hasbro wasn't sending them that many cases. I don't know if that's just for right now for them or every retailer out there. Stay vigilant and best of luck man!

The vintage cardback wave with Spidey, Cap, IM, Punisher, Wolverine, and classic BW.

ohh, ok. damn already for sale. intrested in that spidey thou. i wonder if that unmasked head fits on the other wolverine, it is the same fig

It probably will. But the costume colors on this new Wolverine are lighter than the old one so the clawless hands and the cowl piece that goes around the neck won't be swappable between the two figures.

So yesterday I finally opened up the Hela I found earlier in September (there's a pic of her holding a hamburger in the "Look What I Just Got" thread) and I'm really impressed. I had no intentions of getting the figure before I found it but when I saw it I couldn't resist picking it up. My only gripe is that her sword was rather warped but that's not a real problem for me. I really love the way the horns came out though on her head and the unmasked head is also nice. Leaving the horned head on also feels like it works well enough then to be a comic figure. Hopefully Hela will follow the recent trend and actually be another good villain in a Marvel movie but even if not this figure is great.
Last night then at a local grocery store I was pleasantly surprised to find some Marvel Legends in the clearance section for $9 a figure so I picked up Dazzler. I'd always thought this figure looked pretty good and came out well but didn't feel like it was something I wanted to drop $20 on so at about half off I was happy with it. I like the inclusion of the microphone and the unique energy effect piece coloring but the roller-skates make more dynamic poses trickier. Yeah some people would've preferred one of her less campy outfits but this is the look that I always think of when somebody says "Dazzler" so I like it.

I might pick up the Iron Man if I find it singly. I cannot justify in my head to support the blatant cash grab and buy the wave of re-issues, repaints and kit bashes just for the sake of it. Less accessories, at least one that should have been included with the prior release of the figure and no BAF for full price just seems ludicrous to me. Of course I am sure that, like always, I will end up buying it in the end anyway because I'm a sucker.

Despite being a solid figure, I really wanted to like the Netflix Elektra a lot more than I did once I got her in hand. Yet there were some little things that really killed the figure for me, namely the "Popeye" arms, and the fact that both heads sat a little high on the neck. So I finally got around to fixing it.

The arms from Polaris were a perfect skin tone, and after a little bit of hot water and some surgery (and dremeling) to remove the cuffs from the Elektra arms, she now looks the way I think Hasbro originally intended. In addition to the improved proportions, the Polaris arms have a bit more bend at the elbow than the Popeye arms, improving the articulation a bit (for even better articulation, you can also use the arms from a Black Series EPIV Luke Skywalker, as they are a perfect fit and feature double jointed elbows, I just didn't want to sacrifice my Luke...) I also burrowed both heads just a little bit deeper so they sit lower on the neck, giving her a much more natural appearance.

Was really relieved that Hasbro incorporates pegs for the arms of their female figures. Made this project MUCH easier since there was no need to dremel and crack the torso of the figure open. Just boil and pop. I'm much happier with her now...

100% improvement on her. I don't collect MCU figs, but that don't mean I don't appreciate a good customizing job on them. I'm hoping Hasbro is gonna give us 616 fans a classic comic version of Elektra somewhere down the line.

Bob Layton penciled the entire classic " Armor wars" arc & he drew the original version of the armor that replaced the SC armor with the slim downed gloved/boots. It was John Romita Jr who started drawing that armor with the silly space gloves & clown boots.

lol SEEEE...i told you..
hopefully that'll be fixed for the final product.


thnx...I JUST heard about them being available for pre-order today (sunday) and the single of BW was already sold out by the time I checked online.



HA...USUALLY...that's me also...but I really think I'll be okay passing on most of this wave. This is making me understand how many extra figures I have JUST because there was a BAF part i could use and didn't feel like hunting down/piecing together.

I'm a sucker. I've got the need to pick up half the wave (Nat, Logan, and Tony)

The iron man is tempting, but I think I'll wait for Riders Black Widow
