Good to hear. I'm looking forward to those two.

Back in the day, I would've been all over this Onslaught. Nowadays, it's more of a distant memory, though I still think it's a neat design.

Have to say some sellers are dumb when they have that "or better offer" on ebay, trying to get this MP and the guy only dropped down to $2.00 USD from the original price...what's even the point of asking sheesh. But nice score!

There was no need to sell me on Bobbi, Onslaught, Sharon Carter, or Cap, but now I'm very much looking forward to Scourge and Taskmaster! Might swap out his head for the Udon one, and give him a different sword, but yes those limbs scream Doctor Doom figure. Still disappointed that Hasbro colours their evil evil weapons in cartoonish shades to appease children, but a quick repaint shall fix that!

Does anyone else think that Cap's face is.... odd? It's the way the mask sits above his eyes, it looks rather like..

Onslaught was always a bit ridiculous no matter how awesome we think he is. From what I remember his motivations were extremely murky, he wanted to wipe out humanity so the mutants could inherit the Earth (very much the Magneto in him) but then when the X-men refused to allow that he was just like screw it you all die. He had his return series first with Reborn and then a few years ago with Unleashed but the last time he clearly showed up was in one of Starlin's most recent books where he was just on one of Thanos' monitors, still floating around in the negative zone I guess.

The Cappy wave is at TRU here in the NYC tri-state, bud! Spyne spotted them first and he kicked the info down the line!

@Spyne

No sweat, man. When I get home this evening, I'll let you know. Did you want pics, too?

@Pravus

I think you will enjoy both Taskmaster and Mockingbird immensely. Seriously, they are both pretty unique sculpts. About Onslaught, it's shaping up to be an incredible BAF...but it may end up being one of those BAFs that presents a challenge when creating an emotive pose. Dormammu was similar in the sense that his war-skirt hindered the movement of his legs. The good thing is that the plastic used for Onslaught's shoulder armor is made from soft plastic and they can be removed with ease.

Edit:
@Von

LOL After that, I don't know if I can consider this new Cap the definitive "Cap" going forward...I can't unsee your comparison...

Nice, congrats on your haul!

you guys are getting me all jealous..... everyone has gotten this new cap wave except for me. I definitely want Cap possibly 2 of him so i can have a regular and a wolf cap, and task master looks cool, can someone explain the different looking head? i've seen him the the skull face, never the machine looking mask.

Also Scourge looks good, but im not really familar with him all. the rest of the wave is blah to me. even though i would like to get a Onslaught.

If you can post a pic, sure! I appreciate it!

man not even close...i think only 3 people have em so far...but i TOO...am envious, and would like to have them in my possession sooooooon!!

and what was up with that Rogue figure with her ti-tays bustin out of her top?!?!..i've never seen that..
i think i have a thing for female action figures (with good sculpts)

EDIT

just got this in..been wanting this...thanks K

Awesome, glad to see he got to you. I checked the tracking last night and it said the shipment got delayed. Gotta love the USPS....

The Spiderman Rogues Gallery was missing a little something so I tried to remedy it:

Best Doc Ock!!!! And I don't even own him :(((

I think so too and I had to get the classic version.

Hasbro's been on a roll lately but I don't think they're going to ever top this guy.

Wait was there an alternate more modern version?... Maybe I misunderstood that lol But yeah I don't think they can top it either. It's ashame. He's selling for like 60 bucks on ebay it's crazy. Not in the budget right now unfortunately :(

Yah that rogue has some good "sculpts". ;)
I like that ultron pic. Though man those are some bright zits. ;)

series 8 doc does win , if Hasbro pull something better, they can have my money. Who know doc might appear in a the new MCU spidey , depending on the villains i think to make spidey really good have a sinister six film

Hasbro did a silver version of Doc Ock for their Spider-Man Origins line, which reuses the same exact mold as the ToyBiz one.

Personally, this one doesn't look as nice as the Legends one to me. The tentacles have this gray plastic-y look to them whereas the ToyBiz one has superb paint detailing. Plus the green on the outfit doesn't seem to match. I also prefer classic looking versions of characters overall (with a few exceptions), so the ML Doc Ock is the clear victor to me.

Although if you're strapped for cash and need a Doc Ock in your collection, I'm sure it'd be a fine substitute for the ML one. I've seen the Origins one for about $30-35 on eBay.

I certainly do think Hasbro could do a good job if they made it a BAF (the Rhino figure was fantastic). Only issue is, the paint probably wouldn't be as good, and the tentacles probably wouldn't have the bendy wires, which to me is a huge selling point for the Toybiz Doc Ock.

EDIT: You know what's freakin' cool? I think Doc Ock actually has eyes under his goggles. One part of the figure that people will probably never see, yet the details are still there.

If i have some time tomorrow morning prior to work, i might go do a little hunting.

Dude he's sensitive about that..he has intergalactic herpes(simplex 1)

HAHA! That anything like space herpes? ( kudos to anyone who gets the referance )

I actually like that outfit for ock. Its just a bit more villainous. The other one, while classic, seems a bit plain.

Ice Pirates was a favorite of mine back in the day

The silver is a pretty cool look, but I have a sort of fondness for the cheesy, brightly-colored classic outfits. Don't know what it is. It's why I like Pizza Spidey so much.


I actually think I'm one of the few people in love with Luke Cage's classic look. The yellow t-shirt look is just kinda boring to me.

Holy crap that's crazy! I never knew that existed. But you're totally right, I have a sentimental value in my heart for traditional colorways :/
