Deadpool has been claimed. If I see another one in the wild I'll let you guys know.

Sh!t.

That looks great ken. Hopefully they have some when payday hits.

I hid one so hopefully its still there when I go back.

Eh...I'm not really feeling this one. If Fox couldn't get any kind of success out of bringing back some of their most well known characters (Cyclops, Jean, Nightcrawler Psylocke) and one of the XMEN'S best villians (Apocalypse) it's kinda hard for me to envision them having any sort of success with this group. "Legion" looks like a mess as well, I cannot imaginr it getting through the entirety of it's first season.

Then again, First Class was a hit when everyone else was screaming it would be a dud, so what do I know?

Guys, I don't normally post on here, nor do I intend to make it a habit to do so, since I prefer 3 3/4 inch, but I did love Glenn Webb's videos, and appreciated his passion for toys, especially his love of Marvel Legends. And whilst petitions are not a guarantee of success, I think that this one is worth a shot.

If people believe this to be spam, I will delete this, but I figured that I may as well do my part to spread the word in hopes that Hasbro may listen.

Speaking of Glenn Webb, a new video of his was posted to the channel today.

It's so damn eerie to see this video in my recent youtube feed and how he's no longer with us, even though I'm sure it was released on a pre-determined schedule or by Craig Warrack and/or family. Hopefully we get to see a few more videos posted there.

Guess i moved to slow. Thanks for the offer Kain.

Apocalypse was a failure because Fox forgot to actually add a plot and character development to the movie. It was almost as bad as X3, just with less mutants and better acting.

As for Legion, it's Fox so it will last several seasons if it sucks (like Gotham) or be canceled if it is good within 6 weeks.

So I felt a little silly at Wal-Mart tonight. I saw this box and completely forgot about what it was or that these were happening. I don't exactly know why but I thought it was a restock of the Giant-Man wave since my Wal-Mart only ever got one case of that.

It is nice to know that my Wal-Mart got these exclusives in so fast (they actually had two boxes of them) but I didn't want either of these figures to begin with so I left them all for someone who does.

I wish I had your luck, that Falcon along with Wanda is at the top of my want list.

I think given how much baggage the main X-Men are weighed down with and how much expectation comes with that, telling a new, more focused story with a bunch of much less well-known (to mainstream audiences) mutants could work very well. It depends how they approach it.

In the middle of a move, so there won't be a bunch of shots, but just wanted to share some thoughts on the new Civil War Walmart Exclusives in case any of you might be interested.

Falcon: As I'm sure all of you might have guessed, Falcon is the stronger of the two figures, and is an inside the park home run. I say inside the park, because there's a few issues that keep him from being an upper deck blast. The figure itself is pretty good, with a good range of hip motion, a dead on sculpt of Anthony Mackie that's just about perfect, and a color scheme that actually looks much better in hand than it does in photos and videos. The gray plastic is actually much darker in color in person, and has a TON of sculpted detail, and is really only a simple black wash away from being truly amazing.. I could also not find any re-used parts anywhere, which to me might signify why Hasbro decided to make this the exclusive...much cheaper for them if you have to make less of them right? The wings plug in well, and the backpack stays put on mine with them on, although as expected, they do make him a little top heavy, so the figure is prone to fall over with them on. Use care when perching him on a shelf behind other figures.

The bad with Falcon comes from the lack of proper weapons, not to mention some curious issues with the figure. For example, MCU figure or not, the hands on Falcon seem freaky tiny, and he had issues getting most of the guns I had lying around to fit in his hands properly without it looking like a NERF gun in them. The smaller Glock pistols that came with Agent Venom (that most of us have donated to our Black Widows) work well, but anything else really stretches out the hands, and gives Falcon issues in holding them. The backpack works well as I mentioned before, but be careful when inserting the wings, especially when doing them over and over, as the plastic that the wings peg into can easily warp and tear if you are too eager with them. (If you watch Shartimus Prime's review of the figure, you can see just exactly what I am talking about as that part of the backpack actually breaks during the review.)

Another issue I had is in the construction of the figure itself. I'm not sure if it's my own, or a running thing, but the joints on Falcon were SUPER tight, especially on the arms at the shoulder. Since the sculpted shoulder armor is raised, it also catches on the body, causing paint rub and dents. Be careful when moving them. Lastly, Falcon has some freaky skinny elbow joints, which I am not sure why, but they are made of a softer plastic. Exercise care when bending the elbows, as these thin joints could possibly tear easily if you force them.

Winter Soldier: Another strong entry that looks much better in hand. A lot of people are writing this off as a repaint, but truth be told, there is a lot of new parts on this guy. The head and torso are new, and I believe the left arm is as well. Bucky is well painted, and like Falcon, is only a simple wash away from being outstanding. There is a nice wash on the metallic arm, the star is nice and crisp, and the head sculpt (which looks A LOT more like Sebastian Stan this time) is nicely painted and even has some drybrushing on the hair. The fleshtone is really good, but if you can find him in the wild, be mindful of the eyes. It looks like Hasbro used a decal for them as opposed to painting them, and some of the figures I saw out there had eyes that were kinda trailing off the eyeball and into the lower eyelid and cheek.

The only issues I had with this new Bucky lie also in his accessories. They suck for him. Period. Bucky's hands are simply not ideal for the Scourge set of weapons. The pistol fits loosely in his hands and is actually a bit big, while the knife doesn't fit really into either hand at all, since BOTH of Bucky's hands were sculpted with trigger fingers (they forget them on the Punisher, but give WS two of them. Way to go Hasbro...) Bucky also can't aim the pistol straight in either hand due to him not having a roll of the dice swivel, so you'll have to cheat by bending his arm a bit at the elbow to get it to look right. In addition to these oversights, Bucky has no storage options for either of them, making the belt on the figure seem kinda pointless. You're gonna want to find him some weapon replacements quick...

Oh, and while it doesn't bother me so much, I know some of you rage over it so I'll mention it...sculpted, irremovable guns on the shoulder holster.

All in all though, a great set of figures. With the exception of the QC issues mine seemed to have, Falcon was a hit, and I really like the Bucky a bit more this time than I did his original Winter Soldier figure. I'd go as far to say that this new Bucky is probably top 3 or 4 for me when it comes to the MCU stuff we've received thus far (just behind Falcon, MCU Spidey and Black Panther, who's easily #1.) Happy hunting everyone...

Just a heads up, Walgreens.com has a 25% off coupon available to print on their website that is good until the end of today and it does work on the Punisher and Namor in store only.

Also for anyone with a Meijer store nearby they have all of their Marvel Legends figures on sale for buy 1 get 1 50% off and this includes the new X-Men wave.

Waiting and waiting for this Juggernaut wave to hit...ugh! I could not take it any longer, seeing the toy sections at my local Walmart, Walgreens, and Target have been very depressing...but, I'm done now with trying to find the Civil War or the X - Men wave in my area, especially done trying to find, not all, but just to name a few, Black Panthet, Nick Fury, Wolverine, Rouge, and Spider-Gwen...EBay and the likes, you win on these figures...it seems that it is getting harder and harder to find certain (popular) figures out in retail...just my opinion, steering me to buy online:(...well in fear of never seeing the X-Men wave in my area, snagged the Juggs BAF online, also fearing that prices are going to get out of control for certain figures...good luck to all finding your figs at retail...

RIP Glenn Webb <3

I absolutely loved the guys reviews. I'm very sad to hear about his passing.

Join the club dude. The both waves have been available for months eveeywhere but florida. Now is when we're gettinh them FINALLY in south Florida. Problem is finding the good ones.

Shit all i see are the occasional logan or more oft havok and iceman. Civil war i saw a cap once in Retail and that was it. Part of he problem is stores are innundated with previous waves, refuse to mark them down and hen order little to no new product, to which when new shows up local scalpers descend upon them then proceed to price them double plus at their scalper shops or cases in antique stores or flea markets leavng nothing at retail. Then there's the repackers and thieves, though its less of a proble, in my area than scalpers are. While i need the juggy parts from kitty havok and ice i dont want the figs and i cant find the two common figs in civil war giant man wave to finish mine....cap and tony.

So Walgreens has a 25% off coupon today so I went hunting for Punisher and I found him in the Seasonal isle, not the toy isle. WTF? Not only that, but they had 3 of everyone from the X-Men wave except Deadpool in that isle. As for the X-Men hardcovers in the picture, I have no idea who any of the people are that worked on it, nor if they are even good, but I got them for $6 each at Trade Smart.
