Really? That is great news, I loved that book so much. I've been enjoying her in A-Force and stuff but its not the same.

Casting my vote for a sentinel.

Normally there is an onslaught of Movie Figures Pre Movie. So that not happening for Deadpool Movie means the new ML DP Figure is the closest we will get. Their are honestly not enough characters in the film to justify any at this point in time.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a Marvel Legends release for an X-Men film since we got those two-packs for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And even then I think the Colossus was a repackage.

Same. He looks absolutely awesome (and has some of the best moments).

I finally used the extra Banner body I had and put the non sunglasses Agent head on it for a more relaxed later season Director Coulson, though it took a considerable amount of force to get that head onto that body.

It is a sad day when we realize that the lies we tell ourselves are just that. Oh my Legends lies, how I will miss you.

Today's journey of self discovery began with a stop at TRU in search of Taskmaster, Scourge and perhaps (because I have convinced myself I need as many Shield agents as possible) Mockingbird and Sharon Carter. Of the four, only Scourge was had. Then as I stood there staring at the 4 Caps and 2 Copperheads, the lone Whirlwind appeared in my hand. A figure I had no intention of buying and quite frankly always thought looked somewhat ridiculous. And yet, said figure left the row, was carried to the checkout line and promptly purchased.

Fast forward to about an hour ago as I head from work to Meijer for groceries. Hey, I may as well make a swing by the currently being revamped toy isle with those virtually empty Legends pegs right? Just a couple Rhino wave figures but hey, stacks of toy boxes and an eager to help and only slightly judgey employee ready to help me look through them. What should I find? A box containing the illusive Taskmaster which began today's journey? No. Rather a full box of the Absorbing Man wave. Of this wave, the only figure I had full intention of buying was Ben Reilly. Spider-Gwen was a possibility. I do not understand the hype but I dig the costume design and can always use more female characters. And yet, as I stand there holding both, I begin to debate the remainder of the case. As a relatively new collector, the only Venom in my collection is of the Agent variety and the new one is quite impressive. Morbius, Beetle and Jack hold virtually no interest for me. However Speed Demon holds unexpected appeal. As I pull the four figures from the box and place them in my cart, the still slightly judgey employee takes the box and heads to stock the remainders on the peg, thankfully averting my gaze long enough to prevent me from buying more than the 4 I had.

So what does this ungodly long-winded post mean? If you (lets face it, did not skip over my ramblings) recall, this post began with a comment about lies we tell ourselves. I have long stated that I hope for waves of figures I do not care about and thus will not need to buy with a few I do want mixed in here and there. And yet, as I look at the more than one Wolverine (perhaps my most loathed character, Deadpool RULES, Wolvie DROOLS) in my collection, along with the entire Ant-Man wave which I had no intention of buying and then saw the movie, I find I am without a doubt completely full of crap. I am a slave to these 6" plastic characters and my willpower is but a dream with new figures in my sights.

I talked to Charles Soule at a con when he was in Toronto, and he said he's planning on doing a "Second season" of the book. So perhaps it'll be announced soon. Her dynamic with Patsy was so good. I don't care what anyone says, I loved that run.

With that rampant rumour that Jen and War Machine are going to die in the opening of Civil War II (prompting Carol to turn full-on preemptive tyrant), I don't know if she'll survive long enough to get another shot... Regardless, I think it's criminal that she hasn't received another figure thus far. When I think of female Avengers, she comes to mind before most others.

I'm not gonna lie, because she's featured heavily in the promotional materials already I too think she could die, and if she does I will no longer be reading any Marvel books.

The big lie I tell myself is I won't get some of the figures I ultimately know I'll get. There's a few that I know I won't get for real, but it's like the Absorbing Man wave, I was going to just get Morbius and Jack, and here I am looking for just Venom now - aside from Spider-Gwen which I have no interest in getting as it doesn't contain a unique BAF part.

The next upcoming lie is likely the X-Wave. I know I'll get the Rogue, I SAY I won't get any others except maybe Havok or Kitty Pryde, because I'd rather have new figures, but unless the BAF is awful I know what's going to happen.....
