Wait...patience? You mean you actually handle toy collecting and the decision making that accompanies it like an actual adult? I wouldn't expect that from someone blithely accused of "galavanting". You, galavanter, you.

Yeah. We can't see the figures we plan to buy and no more plastic trays. We'll have figures affixed to cardboard backers and weapons wrapped in tissue paper. No longer worth galavanting around town in the endless search for the "perfectly painted action figure."

Again, the figure is not really to blame here. I just don't dig Disney's re-imagining and casting of the classic character. :s

Completely agree. Namor needs those high arched eyebrows and arrogant demeanor. He needs to be big and imposing. Not a tiny dude wearing biker shorts, sporting a dirt mustache, encumbered with 50 pound neck thing (that makes him look even smaller), MASSIVE ear plugs and that ridiculous nose bar. That DOES NOT resemble Namor.

If Hasbro was actually concerned over Namor being confused with Mamoa's Aquaman they should have stuck with Namor's comic look. No way in hell he would have been taken for Mamoa.
