Cool! They sent an email that said their Cap Wave 3 figs are on the way to them from Hasbro, so those should be soon.

************************************************** ********************

Got my Raft set today and my thoughts and subsequent actions:

KEEPING:

1. Abomination - He looks decent, to me especially from the waist up. I think some of the BAFs have weird bottom proportions. It's like this with Rhino and Juggs too. The legs feel shorter than they should be and i believe around the quad area should be bulkier. But I still like the figure. This probably means the BAF from the new Cap Wave is getting sold. (but of course once that is in hand it could be a game changer). I like the paint app also.

2. DreadKnight Cool figure. Don't know much about the character so I'm going totally based off of his aesthetics...

3. Purple Man - another cool looking figure. This one might actually have the slight edge of being my favorite. His head sculpt and paint color/tone are great. . Also I have a head cast for Tennant, so after it gets painted..he's an easy swap for the Netflix Purple Man which i'm SURE will be released at some point.

SELLING:

1. The package itself. (someone will buy it)

2. Enchantress - This would have been an easy keep if the single release with the Doc Strange wave wasn't coming out. I actually like the paint app on the single release better.

3. Spider-Man - While i did want to keep this. I just have a feeling in a few years this will just be one of the multitude of Spideys i have that I probably'd want to get rid of. Probably better for me to make a quick buck off of it.

4. Sandman - I like the head sculpt. I like the pants and boots sculpt, but the body section does nothing for me without showcasing his powers or at least be the green sweater if he's NOT doing anything sand related. I could def see someone making a cool custom out of him..but that's a lot of work so...meh.. I kinda feel like he'd be a figure that in the future you'd be looking for, for a base custom sandman...which becomes moot if they actually make a new / good sandman fig... ah..life's decisions...

OH yeah...one other figure, quirkily enough, that i'd want a really good custom of is Jewel.
