Theyve only sent one figure i ordered. My two packs still havent even had a label created. Pulse needs to get on the ball.

I normally get stuff very quickly. However, with this big sale they recently had, everything seems slow. Maybe they're backlogged? It is strange. I ended up making 3 orders because I kept going back for stuff. I wondering if I'll get one big shipment with everything, or a bunch of little ones, or three since I placed 3 orders. I'm sure stuff will be arriving soon.

I'm sure they're just backlogged with a sudden surge of orders of stuff they couldn't sell before.

"Hey Bob, were did we stash those Frogman? Someone's actually ordering one!"
"Try the utility closet..."

LOL! Even now, my Stilt Man is missing an arm as I have no desire for Frogman. Maybe if I can find him for $5?

T-BOLTS! I haven't been this excited about MCU stuff since, like, maybe Guardians.

Looking forward to the figs.

My life would be complete if we got a MCU songbird or moonstone.

Thunderbolts? Was there some news somewhere?

Alright looked it up. Pretty cool. I wonder how they'll do it. Will they be introduced as a bunch of heroes and then do a fake out on the unsuspecting/non-comic-aware general audiences? Or will it be a reformed villains doing dangerous stuff scenario? I'm kind of hoping it's the first one. No offense but Suicide Squad already beat them to the punch on that one. Audiences won't distinguish between the two. I'm sure I'll love it any way.

That would be interesting but they will probably bring in old villains (ghost, yelena, zemo) and introduce new ones and pretty much copy suicide squad to a extent.

That gives me hope for that Screaming Mimi I like to casually mention. Comic version though.

I would die for a marvel legends (comic) screaming Mimi.
Forget Spider-Man, X-men, and the avengers we need a comic thunderbolts wave.

I would guess that for MCU Thunderbolts they'd go for a mix of known and new characters. Then again by the time it actually comes out they might have already introduced everybody. I feel like Zemo has to be involved in some capacity, it's his team, but I could see it being a very hands-off role like Fury with the Avengers.

I hope so I can’t stand zemo for some reason.
But I’m willing to bet ghost, yelena, and taskmaster will return for the movie though.

Isn't it kind of too late for the Thunderbolts given Hurt died?

I hope to the gods that utter abomination of a Taskmaster is never heard from again. Maybe they can get the real Taskmaster?

Nah she was great! No need to at all, you crazy girl.

She was not Taskmaster. Taskmaster is not some invalid dumbass whose head is two times smaller than her body. I don't even know much of anything about Taskmaster in the comics, but I do know that version in the movie was a complete insult to the character. She was hands down the worst MCU translation thus far. It's something I'd expect Zack Snyder to come up with given his disdain for the source material.

Update on Pulse’ sale: they’ve added a banner on the top of the website saying that “Due to the popularity of the Power Days sale event, shipping may be delayed.” So I suppose that clears that up (although everyone had already reached that conclusion independently)!

I liked the mcu taskmaster, in my opinion not everything has to be extremely comic accurate.

IMO MCU Taskmaster wasn't as terrible as people made the depiction out to be, nor was the movie as bad as some lamented. While being far from the biggest fan of the character, I am familiar with him and this is one of the rare occasions in which I believe the MCU backstory makes more sense than the canon. The liberties taken with Taskmaster are no more egregious than say Tony Stark being the creator of Ultron or the character donning the Infinity Gauntlet.

Lol or, after reading collector comments opining about the cause, they adopted this as the most plausible and easily baked in excuse.

They better not charge me twice for shipping because ill raise hell. If they cpwont ship it al, at once, regardless of reason, they need to eat the extra shipping.

The only reasons i hated not task master was just because it turned the character into an mcu throwaway identity like Ronin and it was a waste of olga kurylenko. She coulda been used as either an all new masked villianess or masked red guardian 2 ( or was the chick version 3 ). Either way i hope a TRUE mcu taskmaster is used. Plus the costume was pretty meh.

I might have a spare arm. Feel free to drop me a message.

I wasn't aware of the banner. Thank you for sharing that!

I also disliked Taskmaster in Black Widow, but because, like you said, she felt like a throwaway. In the comics, he's totally one of my favorite villains. I'd like to see a reintroduction of a "Taskmaster program" which would spawn a version that resembles the comics more closely.

It's odd because you would think that would be a no brainer, but apparently not. Or maybe it's because I'm used to Rightstuf having big sales and announcing they are backlogged on shipping the same items out that I already expected it from Hasbro.

The only point of contention I have is why they only shipped part of my order out and not the whole thing. I would have rathered they just shipped them all together.

Depends on how they go about it, but the way they did Taskmaster was horrible. It also doesn't help because from my understanding of the character he's supposed to learn everyone's abilities by seeing them in action. This version used a computer to do that, which kind of defies the one trait Taskmaster has. And then there was, again, the horrible execution.

Glad you enjoyed her though. You're the first person I've seen post that was happy with the route they went.

I didn't down right hate Black Widow, but it had no business being a Phase 4 movie. The stakes were non-existent because you knew Natasha was not going to ever be in any true danger. The plot was pretty much just a worse version of The Winter Soldier. And the villains were dreadful. Yelena was the best thing about the movie and ultimately what saves it from being as bad as Thor Dark World and The Eternals.

What's kind of funny though is on another message board I've got kind of a cyber stalker who constantly tells me I never say anything bad about the MCU while I tear the DCEU apart, but then when I linked him to my post about how terrible I found Taskmaster to be, he blatantly ignored it.

Sorry to topic jump. I don't know if anyone has said this before, but What If Infinity Ultron kind of looks like Ultron's design in Annihilation: Conquest. Is it too much to hope for a stand alone/deluxe release of this BAF now?

^Yes, I mentioned it off the top when they unveiled it. However, the gulf between the D+ design and the Annihilation: Conquest Ultron is considerable. I don't want a 'half-ass/good enough' re-tool. Although that is what we'll likely see.
