The new one in the box set is larger...provided you want to spend the money on the set. The set is kind of weird though. Modern Rocket head on DnA era body, DnA area Quill and Gamora and modern era armored Drax. Groot is sort of a mash of the movie with a sudo almost any era head.

Last week, things finally started trickling in...I've been too busy to comment about most of the things that were written on this thread, I could only read. I don't even have the time for proper pics, but I threw some things together very quickly. I'll likely revisit many of these pics when I get a breather...

Quick catch up on some comments: Antman's major enemy was Ultron. Contrary to what Avengers AOU would have you believe, Hank created him...there seemed to be some confusion about that. Someone mentioned Egghead, which is true, but I don't really think of him when I think of significant foils for Hank. Misty Knight has been a Marvel Universe mainstay for over four decades. My first introduction to her was as the long-term girlfriend of Danny Rand. It struck as profound as a kid because it was the only interracial couple I'd witnessed in comics at the time. She was also part of a Kung-fu trio: Daughters of the Dragon. Being a long term Heroes for hire fan, I'm very happy to have her. This current White Tiger is ok, but I'd much rather have the original: Hector Ayala (her older [deceased] brother). Hector wore all three 'Amulets of Power' (formerly worn by the Sons of the Tiger, individually). Again, I was introduced to Sons of the Tiger, and Hector by extension, through Heroes for hire. Danny sparred with them (SoT) often. The Sons of the Tiger had social relationships with the Daughters of the Dragon where they would occasionally interact with one another (it seems like all the 'Kung-fu' people know each other in Marvel). my first experience with Hector as the White Tiger was in team-up book with Spidey...whew that was mouthful (keyboardful) there...

I feel you, Kirathis. One wave and SDCC set later...and still no proper Guardians of the Galaxy. Still waiting for Adam Warlock, Mantis, Bug, Groot with clothes on, and Cosmo. I also like Major Victory, Jack Flag, Moondragon, and Phyla...

I've been very, very busy. I've barely enough time to see what you guys are talking about. I miss taking/posting pics most, and I'm quite vexed about having to throw up castaway photos...however, I've got some things in mind for when life slows down a bit and more waves roll into my mailbox...

well now the next question is, is the chain removeable? it's obvisous with the outfit, that this is supposed to be johnny blaze.

Oh yeah, as for the Rhino/Silver Sable thing from the other day, what is this bs about them both being dead?

He held himself responsible for both deaths personally since Rhino had recently been reformed and even married but when a new Rhino came along Spider-man failed to stop him from killing old Rhino's wife, the ordeal causing old Rhino to go on a rampage and kill the new Rhino.

That sounds like a pretty decent story! I've only read Spider-Verse, but Dan Slott's Spider-Man (and Superior) are held quite highly in terms of fan appeal, so I might check it out from the beginning.

On a ML note, are we expecting any surprise releases anytime before the end of the year? I don't understand why Hasbro have released three waves in this past month, only to leave the rest of the year dried up.

Superior was excellent, spider-verse was good. Anybody see the end in spider verse with superior ?? I don't want to give it away but it left it slighty open for superior to somehow return, as well as kaine still being alive.

I've gotta say, reading Spider-Man my whole life, I think I preferred Doc Ock as Spidey than Peter Parker. Maybe it's because I'd read so many Parker stories and was stuck in a rut, but he seemed like he was a better Spider-Man than Pete ever was! Hopefully one day he shall return, though it'll probably just be plain ol' Doc Ock in a rebooted series to tie into the new movie :D

Yeah, that is highly annoying. However, what is worse for me is my next paycheck is not until Sept 20th, so I'm just glad I had recently sold some Figuarts or I would have been ****ed for the Spider-Man wave, especially with the Guardians set being out a month early.

At least he got a ML figure before he did, though!



Yes I forgot about the Guardians pack aswell, and the 3-pack with Doc Green/White Vision/Ultron. I assume Hasbro enjoys bankrupting its customers during Summer, then disappearing for 6 months.
