OH MY GOD LOOK WHO I FOUND TODAY AT TARGET!!!!!!!



It appears that they got in two more cases since Tuesday as they had 2 Magnetos, 2 more Gladiators, a Storm, one Psylocke, one Multiple Man, and three Wolverines. All of the Gladiators had worse paint jobs than the one I have now though.

I didn't put them in the picture, but I did grab a Storm and another Wolverine and then immediately felt the joy of canceling my order with Dorkside.

This new Storm doesn't have the bobble head effect going on, nor is her left boot falling off the leg, BUT she came with two right feet. @_@ Fortunately, it was easy to heat up the feet on both the new one and defective one in order to switch them. I will returning the defect when I go there again this weekend.

As for Wolverine, he has a superior paint job and the claws don't seem to be as loose on this one. Now I just need to figure out the best way to remove the belts on him and the Juggernaut wave one so I can switch them. I'm worried that if I heat them up and pull them off through the legs it will stretch them, but I can't think of any other way to remove them.

Multiple Man seems cool, though the left eye's paint on the non angry face is messy, so it looks like he has a glass eye. If I see another one, I may grab one though because I'm liking him a lot better than I thought I would. It's also nice that Hasbro has finally learned to not make the coats in a hard plastic as it's nice and soft.

Psylocke isn't bad, but the paint job on her back is quite messy. In fact, they didn't paint the outfit to the skin evenly, so it looks part of her shirt has been ripped. If I come across another one, I'll pick it up to see if the paint job is better, but if not, it's not that big of a deal. I think. The paint on the face is perfect though and she does look kind of badass. I do wish she was the lighter blue though, but the purple hair rocks.

Now we come to Apocalypse. He's got this weird brown paint on the inside of his lower right knee joint for some reason. No idea how it even got there. Maybe from Multiple Man's coat? It looks like he is rusted. Nevertheless, oh my god this dude was well worth the wait. He is so friggin awesome. I love the metallic blue color with the black and the grey really pops due to it. It's so nice to finally own an Apocalypse figure that feels worthy of his reputation. Now I just need Hasbro to reissue Stryfe so I can have their infamous battle form X-Cutioner's Song. Or a nice three pack of the original Pestilence, War, and Famine.

I am so happy to finally have this entire wave in hand even though I still need to keep an eye out for some replacements. The main work is done though. WOOHOO!!!
