Welcome back Blue! Good to see you again.

I was talking about this with my friend and I think I know the answer, but I'm not sure. Is Wolverine the only figure in the next Riders Wave?

I cleaned up with the Hydra sets at discount. I got 3 of those babies...lol

Still no Cyke/Jean or Peter/Mary 2 packs though....so a win and a loss at the same time.

Picked up the old Superposeable Hulk from the first movie. My pre-MCU Marvel Movieverse Legends collection continues to grow.

What amazes me is that even though Toybiz did not have the face scanning and computer generated sculpts that Hasbro and many other companies employ today, you can actually tell who are the actors playing these characters for the most part. I've always felt that until very recently, Hasbro has been very hit or miss in this area.

Welcome back TBM. I've missed our chats, your pics and your insight. Hoping you'll be sticking around for a bit.

Say what you will, but a lot of those Toybiz movie figures were excellent for their time, and some of them still hold up pretty well. Wanted to fit in a couple of more into this pic to make it an even 10, but it was getting cramped, so here are 6 of my favorites. I still feel that the Spidey from the original movie line tops any movie Spidey that we've received up to this point (although the Vulture Wave Homecoming figures were very, very, good.)

Awww... we got a Gandalf Magneto figure, but no Fassbender Magneto figure. The merger thing is happening too late... since I doubt they will even make another X-men movie after Dark Phoenix with the First Class cast.

Too true. I'd love a Fassbender Magneto and McAvoy Xavier.

How is it that 10 years later the facial likenesses somehow got worse (until very recently with the real face printing, which are looking great on a lot of characters)?*

* Not counting the misses like the recent Captain America.

What, the Hydra pack? The one that's up for pre-order on several online retailers? Or were you referring to the Cyke/Jean or Spidey/MJ packs, in which case you're truly SOL?

To me Fassbender Magneto is more iconic now than Sir Ian Mckellen Magneto. They could have at least given us a Marvel Select Fassbender Magneto. But yah, well... Patrick Stewart pretty much is Professor X and always will be no matter what happens to his character in future movies.

Frankly, I prefer McAvoy as Charles. Don't get me wrong, Stewart is like the living image of him, BUT, Stewart's Xavier was too grandfather-esque. If you've read the comics, Charles is a glorified asshole. He may love his X-Men, but he is a selfish man who goes to great lengths to make people see his point of view and does what is in his best interest. McAvoy was perfect at showing us that aspect of Charles that Stewart could never accomplish.

It's kind of like Dumbledore in Harry Potter. Richard Harris was a fantastic Dumbledore, but there was no way a sweet grandfatherly man could pull off Dumbledore's true nature the way Michael Gambon could.
