Darn those pogs. My dad knew a guy that had a garage full of them but the problem is he bought them like a month after they hit California. I guess he thought they would be the trend for a few years but by the time he got them in they were on the way out lol.

That's such a good story though. the look on the guy's face was priceless. You could tell that he just didn't want anyone claiming he was up to shenanigans. Just proves that these guys go scouring the sales and clearance of normal retail shops just to mark up the stuff at their stores.

At that price it's perfect for making black costume customs. I'd say you are even increasing the value since most people wouldn't repaint an expensive variant.

Kraven? Punisher? Baron Zemo? Kang? Beta Ray Bill? New Hulk?

I'm really loving the character selections this year, but I think I'm going to have to give this award to Kraven followed closely by Kang. Kraven is loaded with detail, and I know I'm in the minority here, but I am not a fan of the swivel thighs, which he doesn't have. Kang is a nice addition to the MU villains roster. The paint and color scheme is dynOmite.

I get that a lot of people love the Zemo figure and it is very well done but the character has never really grabbed me. My Zemo is on the way to Shockwave actually. Only problem is that they needed to make the weapons bigger to fit in his hands instead of reusing old stuff.

Kraven is definitely awesome and so is Beta Ray Bill. I love him. I don't have all the new figures so I'll just say Prof. X (even though I don't have him either). I haven't paid too much attention to Kang so what makes him stand out?
