And how many say Gwenpool, not based off the figure but the character? (though the figure is bleh)

I like the character of Gwenpool, but the figure is just so meh. Although that maybe because they couldn't do her in her proper art style.

Well for me:

1. If I don't like the character, I think it's a waste of a toy.
2. The figure was shitty. The paint was sloppy. The plastic felt cheap and brittle. Some of the joints were loose.
3. I instantly sold the figure hours after getting it.

Honestly, I can see why not a lot of people are fans of the Gwenpool figure. A lot of her charm in the comics is from Gurihiru's art style, which the ML fails to capture - as I've said before, she looks like when she guest-stars in another title.

It makes the MAFEX version so much more worth it.

And despite the dislike I see for him here, SP//dr is definitely in the running for Best BAF on my list.

On a slightly different note...my wife and I welcomed the newest addition to our family last night with a healthy baby boy..

I'm the one that you sold it to, I personally have no issues with paint or the quality of the figure. I don't remember how loose the figure was but, I like her so I'm really glad you don't!

The re-use for the head was an inspired choice for Janet. The monochromatic paintjob on Domino hid so much of the detail and sculpt that it almost feels as if the head was dedicated for Wasp all along. Also, my pictures do no justice to the wings which have the most fantastic iridescent glow about them.

i feel like people have been mixing the two.

Triv were you smokin buddy?

the two waves you said were at the bottom were easily two of the best (what i say goes)..
but that Spydr wave was a sexy comicy wave though...

and man....CONGRATS on the new addition!!! that's great..
another member just had a new lil' one as well!!

keep buying figures and making babies!!!:D

Wow @Redfox! That head swap makes a huge difference! Now I want to buy a 2nd one. I've been debating making a Pixie from the X-Men out of the mold, although I personally wish there was a teen girl body with the back piece for the wings, but it's worth a shot anyway.
I picked up 4 of the 6 figures in the vintage wave. Passed on Panther, just need to find an Ant-Man.

First off...

https://media1.tenor.com/images/a47e...itemid=5295944

As for my wave ranks, I don't know, it was a toss up between MCU Thanos wave, Sauron, and Black Panther wave as the worst for me. Those are the three waves currently pegwarming my area, and when you go and look at them, it's easy to see why. All the waves had 1 or two cool figs that I enjoyed, but they also were full of figures that were released again later, poor BAF choices (NO WAY should Okoye had been the BAF. Standard figure at best.) and questionable character selections.

As for the best/worst vs. favorites...I don't know man. I picked the figs that I thought were the best, had the least amount of QC issues for me, although I also listed them as favorites. I'm not even a Deadpool fan, and he was in my top 3. It's all subjective...so...

:p (You know I love you DTL)

Bishop and Omega Red were the first to disappear and I haven't seen much of them since the wave dropped. Maybe two or three times since.

The Venom wave has been the most scarce wave for me this year I think, though the SPIDRP wave is a close second. I only ran into them the one time at Walgreens, and maybe twice since at Walmart.

Man, I wish that was the case here. I've seen a couple of Sauron-wave figures once in a while, but mostly at Gamestops, and I'm not willing to pay those prices just to finish my Sauron. Walmart out here just seem filled to the brim with Ant-Man and Wasp figures from the Cull Obsidian wave. Targets are still backed up with Sasquatch, Black Panther, and/or MCU Thanos figures (especially Songbird), except for the occasional Warlock-wave X-Men or... you know... the STILL LINGERING Misty Knights. I really wish someone would buy those for customs. I'll occasionally see a Gwenpool or a Spider-Woman from the Lizard wave at Target, but that's it.

It's to the point where I'm almost exclusively buying either from Toy Addicts or Amazon, depending on which gives me the better price-for-value option.

lol

Interesting as I'm pretty sure I thought her paint job was sloppy, but since I don't like the character, maybe I found the issues to be worse than they actually were. As for looseness, didn't her head have some sort bobble effect?
