They must have bought all the ross stores and five below stores and are trying to turn a profit.

So about a year ago (a little earlier but still) the big news about the Marvel Infinite revamp and wave 1 broke. This year with nothing it just feels like someone let all the air out of a balloon.

The last six months have just been so boring. :( I know, we have SDCC in the summer and NYTF coming in...February, I think, so it's not really announcement time, it's just that there's just been nothing.

Usually the things announced and shown at SDCC have hit at least online retail by now.

Hopefully 2015 will be better, because since April/May I have just felt like the line has been all but dead.

I agree, this has been a time for me to catch up on those obscure characters I wasnt sure about. For example , the sewer escape lizard...Still need to get Maria.
But mostly I've used the time to get some customs done to add to my collection. So far, I had a awesome Ronan made. Ive had Kdub hit me up with a Chameleon head, Powerman/Atlas masters of evil version giantman, Batroc and had him redo Rulk. I think I'm going to focus on a few more custom guys ...while i wait for Sandman

I suppose becuase I've only been collecting MU for a year and a half since I first saw the Avengers I haven't felt this dry period as much as you others, I'm still playing catch up for 5 years of missed figures.

If Hasbro gives us something like this for AOU I might consider being slightly less pissed off at them.

Sweet baby budda I wish that we got these instead of that thing we got from the avengers sets

first post of 2015! (east coast time) may we have better luck in figures than we did last year!

Happy AVENGERS2 year!

If you don't have him already, Beta Ray Bill is around 3$ on Amazon.com!

Beta Ray Bill is easily one of my favorite figures. This $3 price though is only for Prime members as an add-on item which requires you be a Prime member and add this item to an order of $25 or more.

I was looking at the eBay listings for the new AI figures and saw on the cardback of the big time spidey that we will probably get repacks of daredevil (2 pack version great figure) and dark hawkeye (listed as Marvel's hawkeye).

I've predicted since we first heard about the re-brand that we would end up getting repacks of every MU figure eventually. I assumed they would start with the two and three pack exclusives like they did with GOTG, that would put Rouge, Longshot, first appearance Hulk, Quick silver, and a few others on single cards. I thought that the new DD was going to be the 90's black and red armor?

I believe he's in the second wave.

Marvel Infinite 2015 Wave 1 Review

It's interesting that Black Cat's face mask is molded not painted. Plus I'm glad the females are getting the swivel elbows too.

I've got four spare Wolverine and the X-Men Toads and I am lost as to what to use them for; any ideas?

Female figures have had swivel elbows available since the X-23 mold was introduced. Scarlet Witch, Dagger, Wasp, and Medusa for example all have a swivel and a hinge at the elbow. I'll say it can be hard to use without thinking you're about to break the toy, but that passes with time.

If u got sentinals or a military squad. The could be mutant captives or mutant "dogs" used to find other mutants like they do in the comics.

Updated my Scarlet Witch with a cloth cape. Love a good cloth cape.

Yeah, I have one of my sentinels holding my spare Wolverine like he's dead/unconscious.
Good job, I like having some plastic capes because they can add stability (Doctor Strange, Beta Ray Bill, Death's Head) but then there are some which are too short and hurt the figures' stability (Hyperion, Thor). Scarlet Witch's cape helps her stand, but it's actually too long so I have to drag it back behind her to make it look normal.

I have an attack team that I put different monster from various lines like Ben 10 and others to help hunt the mutant scum. My new phew likes this idea so much that his power rangers often are a special team to assist in the hunts and I

Thanks. I agree about the stability thing, but I have always loved flowing capes.

USB fans make flowing capes kick ass. Small enough to blow the capes but not too strong that your fig ends up on their backs.

Love the cape! what kind of cloth did you use? every time I try to make a cloth cape the edges fray out and my figures end up looking like Hobos. on the other side of that if anyone needs advice on battle damaged, or post-apocalyptic capes hit me up.

Yes but the prototype looked as if they were going back to use the old female elbow style.

Anybody see the Beast wave available for pre-order/sale outside o' bayandzon? I'm checking all of my usual haunts and coming up empty.

Is it me or do they look a bit lack luster I guess is the word best used to describe.
