Is the Crimson Strike Team set $30 per figure or $90 for red Baroness with free twins?

Nice work on the Marvel presentations Hasbro!

And know that I see you! ...Thanks for adding fists to Namor so that I can swap out to older versions!

Finally, the more I see it – Void Baf – the more I’m convinced that the cinematic Venom-base-body is a perfect template for Blackheart. Make it so, Hasbro!

Yes.
The only time a crimson Baroness wasn't behind a paywall was the 3 3/4" Imperial Procession 6 pack from 2005. And that Baroness kinda sucked.

... Why do Baylen and Shin have red blades instead of orange?

pre-orders are up everywhere. Got my Tobey and Holland Spidey's

I also noticed that their Lego versions have red blades. Maybe the reference material given to these companies wasn't clear enough on the distinction. Further question, why are they showing a '77 Vader for the black series pipeline but at the same time announce an archive release of that Vader?

Well poo. Thanks bro.

Norman's looking great

Oof! What happened to Shin, her design is so good but this figure lost all essence of it

Who is the Mandalorian Nite Owl?

It doesn't look like a female Mandalorian wearing the traditional helmet. Honestly, it looks like Axe Woves to me. I'm not super familiar with the Mandalorian show so maybe I'm missing something, but I can't figure out who this Pipeline reveal is supposed to be.

The Spider-Man wave is superb. Will definitely go out of my way to get those.

I really hope they don't stop there - Id love to see another wave with Sony characters. They could do a...

Black suit Tobey
Maybe a Raimi Venom redesign that's a mix between the Sandman BAF Venom design and their superb 2018 Venom design
Raimi Doc Ock
No Way Home Electro
Raimi Green Goblin
2021 Carnage

(edit, scratch this one - I was not aware that a Civil War Spider-Man was made for the Infinity Saga wave)

The Galen Marek looks solid. Hoping a Black Series HK-47 is made eventually.

What is it with Joe murdering every other panel? The movie Spidey stuff was good, but otherwise the gulf in product and presentation would've been embarrassing to see if it wasn't for the sheer amount of awesome overwhelming me. The only way it could've been better was some vehicle goodness in the mix, even if only extra Vamp renders.

Ordered Baroness w/ bonus X&T, the new Joes save Shockwave, and decided to pull the trigger on a Master Morpher after I saw it was plated instead of painted.

Ain't that the truth. I had to pause for a minute and really mull it over, till I remembered that I only picked up Serpentor when someone plugged the idea in my head of Cobra Commander riding the air chariot above Serpentor's corpse. The twins will make for good battlefield casualties on my shelf. :D

Well put.

I don't think those Twins will be worth $20 combined when everyone starts to unload them after opening the set.

Do you mean a Spider-Man 2 Doc? Because that new figure is sporting his No Way Home look.

Maybe you need to be a super hardcore SW collector. But between the abusive prices and combination with such weak releases, I am not even sure why they keep trying...

The figures they had on the desk looked better than the promo shots, bu yes the blank expression doesn't do Shin any favours when she is so intense in the show.

Well, I'll be damned. I didn't even see that. For some reason, Doc Ock isn't shown in the article.

Welp, scratch that one off my wishlist. But, that being said, maybe a Spider-Man 2 variant would also be a suitable addition to a hypothetical second wave.

Just a few new parts to pop out OG versions of him and Green Goblin, and I'll snap them both up with a quickness! And with their stable of suited bodies, I think JJ would only need a new head and some expressive hands to join the fray. :)

I'd grab the entire wave of Spider-men, if only they didn't have ab crunches. Ugh.

And that hair didn't translate well. It literally looks like she has a mop on her head now.

Was looking forward to Indiana Jones Adventure Series Wave 4. Need that Mola Ram and Willie Scott

I will say it's probably my investment.

But Con-wise.....it just seemed like they had stuff constantly going.

Yeah, the hair is the only real agitator. Looks like it's scaled too large compared to the rest of the figure. Gives it a thick, bushy look that's not accurate to her appearance in the show. That mixed with its flat plastic color makes the figure looks like she's wearing an obvious, bad wig. I wonder if a black wash could help?

The videos I watched on YT for painting blonde hair suggested starting with a brown base coat for unpainted miniatures or adding a brown wash to already painted hair. Plus, the actress is a brunette and some of her natural color shows through, especially where her hair is parted on top. Adding highlights after the wash will be the tricky part, if you want to do that. Of all the videos I watched on painting miniatures as well as canvas paintings, the only consistent thing I came away with for highlights in blonde hair is "off-white". Looking at Vallejo Model Color paints on Hobby Lobby, the simplest solution might be Ivory.

She also has some moles on the left side of her face that the figure is missing.

Hey, thanks for the info! I'm a complete novice when it comes to painting figures, so I need all the help I can get. Definitely gonna go watch some YouTube videos for myself, now! Thanks again for the heads-up!
