I have to imagine most DnA fans pretty instantly recognized that Infinity Ultron took visual cues from Phalanx Ultron, the red cape and multiple "eyes" were giveaways, but just as you noted there's actually very little reuse potential between the two once you get into specifics. Hasbro can often take the lazy route (sometimes it's even justified) but potentially doing that here would be quite weak.

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.

Question for ML collectors - is the USAGENT (from the new Controller BAF series) worth the upgrade if I already own the "Return of Marvel Legends" Wave 3 version (the one that came with a silver base rather than a BAF part)

I guess it depends on how much you like US Agent. The one you already have is on the Bucky Cap body so in terms of articulation they're near similar if not identical but in terms of size the new one is bigger and beefier which is truer to his typical comic appearance. Also the new one's shield doesn't have the star which is more often what I'm used to with the character.

Got Retro Rhino at a local toy show... overpaid a bit, but whatever. Just need to somehow get a Retro Green Goblin now and hope I don't have to give up my soul to get the Walmart exclusive Lizard... then I think I am completely done with Spidey figs. At least I got Retro Spidey, Retro Scarlet Spider, Kaine Scarlet Spider and Doc Ock for cheap... so it kinda evens things out a bit.

I never really liked Spider-man as a kid... mostly just liked X-men, Punisher, Moon-Knight, Ghost Rider and Daredevil... so while I bought all those figs early on I was always passing on Spidey stuff.

I'm kicking myself over here. I didn't think I was going to complete the Ursa Major BAF so I sold the parts from Ultron and Stealth Iron Man. Because of that Pulse sale, I purchased the rest of the wave. Now I need to track down those parts again. Ugh.

Two-pack of Mister Negative & one of his demon goons has been announced, based on their appearance in the PS4 Spider-Man game. GameStop exclusive.

What parts do you need? Having purchased multiples of Darkstar, the Guardsman, and Ulton (and modular Iron Man, but there's no BAF piece included with that fig) I'm sitting on extra parts for Ursa. I can send them with the upcoming bits of the Controller that come with Blue Marvel.
