Took advantage of the sale and was able to order Infinity War Black Panther, Erik Killmonger, Ulysses Klaue, Prince T'Challa, and King T'Chakka from Gamestop.com this past Monday, and they arrived last night. This was my most anticipated wave since the Marvel Studios 10th Anniversary wave, and I must say...it does not disappoint. I've been sitting on 3 Dora Milaje I found a GameStop a couple of weeks ago, so I was set there, but these other 6 figures, M'Baku included are amazing. The standout of this wave is indeed Erik Killmonger, everyone else is a coin toss they're so good. I already made the decision to pass Prince T'Challa to my son (very symbolic) because I have the Civil War version. Also, I thought the Black Panther from wave 1 was good, but what a difference a face sculpt and purple highlights can make. He is on my Infinity War Shelf with the Dora Milaje, and his fellow Avengers as we speak. As soon as I find my darn memory card, I'm posting pictures of my updated display, or as I like to call it "Marvel Studios Goodness".


Speaking of Marvel Studios, I picked up Captain Marvel, Nick Fury, Talos, SPOILER ALERT, and Carol from Walmart on the 1st. Another solid wave of figures. The standard Captain Marvel is right up there with the rest of the females they've released from the MCU since 2017 that will stand the test of time. As much as I LOVE the MCU, I try to always...always display my Legends with their helmets or mask, and Captain Marvel might have one of this best, if not most logical helmet in the entire MCU, that's why it was a no brainer to display her with her helmet.


Having both the Captain Marvel wave, and wave 2 of the Black Panther makes me more anxious for Toy Fair next month. I seriously hope they continue the Marvel Studios line. So many missed opportunities, but what they do with these figures now equals so much more potential.
