I was soooo looking forward to the Tigra. Especially after the disaster from the Holocau.....err, I mean Nemesis wave. I was assuming they'd use a variation on the curvy Moonstone mold. But, just imagining what that would look like, I don't think she got shelved to make room for another character so much as for this overly sensitive and overbearing censorship society we suddenly find ourselves in today. I have to admit that as soon as the rumor hit, I did start to wonder how today's PC parents were going to stomach an action figure of a voluptuous girl in a string bikini with tiger stripes painted on her, and if they would attempt to tone her down by painting on a leotard to make it more presentable on the toy isles at Wmart & Target, which woulda destroyed the entire look of the character. Similar was the case with the Valkyrie figure who got the full body suit when the lines on the sculpt were clearly made for the bikini bottoms. Not to make it a political issue, but I firmly believe that's also why Majik, who could have easily been misinterpreted as some kind of dominatrix and Gamora, who is Hasbro's "sexiest" figure to date, were both released in exclusives that were aimed at us adult nerd fanboys. I'm also convinced that's why Psylocke, who also suffers from that evil, terrible, iconic, sexy, bare legged look, was not included in one of this year's X-Waves.

 

Now if I could make a suggestion, cuz that's what I do here, y'know? How about a few more exclusive sets where we can get some of these more "risque" figures while also including some much demanded 1st time characters & redos that would be simple to make. Whether it be an SDCC, NYCC or other thru any number of online vendors, I think it's been proven time & again that with the right character lineup sets sell very well. Here's my two suggestions but believe me I could probably give a thousand.

 

Avengers West Coast:

1. Tigra using the afore mentioned variation on the Moonstone mold

2. Julia Carpenter Spider-Woman using any number of existing (adult) female molds and masked heads

3. US Agent redo using Hyperion mold (the Bucky mold is still my favorite but it wasn't right for this character)

4. Moon Knight using Bucky mold, Blizzard head & Taskmaster hood & holsters. It would be so freakin easy.

5. Ionic Wonder Man using a variant of the Wonder Man already in the works.

 

X-Men Female Roster:

1. Modern Rogue using a repaint of the new Jim Lee mold as the boots & gloves are similar, Spider-Gwen hood & the head and skirt from the unreleased Wolverine Legends figure

2. Psylocke using a simple repaint of the Target Ms. Marvel & previous head sculpt if necessary tho a new one would be nice.

3. Emma Frost redo using the Scarlet Witch figure & existing head sculpt. Preferably painted to resemble one of her lingerie costumes instead of the pseudo biker chick of the previous one. Actually, the head, chest and abs on the first one were beautiful but those wonky, skinny, rubbery legs made it impossible to stand, much less pose.

4. Mystique redo using a repaint of the awesome Misty Knight figure and existing head sculpt.

5. Marvel Girl using the new Kate Bishop mold and previously mentioned Rogue skirt, though a new head sculpt would be in order.

6. M using the Mockingbird mold or Moonstar using the Kate Bishop mold, the head from the unreleased version & maybe some accessories from the Kate and Hawkeye figs.

 

I personally wouldn't mind dropping the extra coin plus shipping for these sets & I'm pretty sure no one else here would either. I don't mind reused or retooled parts. I'm actually in favor of it as a way of getting out as many characters as possible & as a cost saving method so that more specific sculpt figs like Beast, Thing and (dare I say) Strong Guy can be done.

  • 3 weeks later...

after seeing them now I can honestly say.... OMG this wave is miles better then the Space Wave. and that was a good wave.

 

  • Cap - Meh. what? you expect me to be happy. it just the standard Cap in his wave to be expected.
  • Iron Skull- im not happy that we are getting a Animated/Avengers Alliance figure but it looks nice if cheap since it's just a repaint on with a new head. not sure what the second head's about since I cant make it out.
  • Scarlet Witch nice that we are getting her. maybe Vision might pop into a future movie and we get him too.
  • Cap Brit - I love it. not the classic version like I was think but still a fantastic version none the less. Say what you will about Hasbro, at least when they redo some character, they make a new costume for the most characters.
  • Wonder Man oh god yes!!!! he looks epic.
  • Eel - looks great. now you guys know me and my love for lower letter list characters. so believe me when I say this is awesome addition.
  • Abomination - from the images of the part this figure looks fantastic. they are using a different rendition of the character, so he can be set beside the TB one. The one coming in the SDCC rumour one seems to be a darker color. time to move the TB one as IMHO this look better.

I notice that the 2 energise characters are literally the ones that used that Black panther mold. Pity they didn't think of making a A-bomb but I'm sure it's only a matter of time and which store want the exclusive. Think of it Wal*Mart exclusive Agents of SMASH.

Starting from the bottom, up:

Abomination - He does look great. I am disappointed however, that he has 2 open hands. Kinda only good for "holding Hulk back" poses.

Eel - Fantastic! Looking at the package, it does have one wondering why Hasbro couldn't include another set of hands for the upcoming Electro.

Wonder Man - THIS looks great! Energy hands AND effects! Plus he's more massive than the TB version.

Captain Britain - This also looks great (and large), which is good considering he's 6'6.

MCU Scarlet Witch - OK I guess. I'm not a fan of movie figures, but for those who are, I'm happy for (not to mention, completionist that I am, I'll be able to improve my MCU diorama).

Iron Skull - I am in total agreement. I'm a fan of animated characters even less so than movie characters. For me, a wasted slot.

Secret Wars Cap - Once again, in agreement. I'm really not feeling this figure. I understand a version of Captain America has to be included, but there's nothing else to display this with. I think we would've been better served getting an "Old Man Rogers" in his Commander uniform.

yes and a repaint on the Grim Reaper with a swappable Young Roger and Nick Fury Junior head. (mainly for the NFJ so we can have a official 616 version and not use the ultimate one)

EXACTLY!!! Then I could do away with my "custom" Nick Jr (Just Ultimate Nick on a Commander Rogers body. Still haven't found out about what paint I should use to match his hands).

I'm a tad bit annoyed that Eel gets spare hands but Electro doesn't

we all are dude we all are.
Lol. Hasbro does some weird stuff but gets a lot right. I'm in agreement with most of everything especially regarding the size of Cap Brit. He's every bit as big as Hyperion. Iron Skull, give me a break. And the second head is just a redecoed IM head (yawn). SW is beautiful as far as movie figs go. Wonder Man, yes, Yes, YES, freakin YESSS! Perfect. Eel, I'm always game for any of the more obscure characters, but those movie Electro hands gotta be retired quick. Cap, eh there has to be one since its his wave and I need the the BAF part, soooo. We get three wasted spots (if you're counting SW, which I am) and three new figures and an awesome BAF. That's about on par for what we can expect from every wave, these days. At least the new ones are really good.

 

Now, to beating the same dead horse. The next wave needs to have a USAgent redo on the Hyperion buck. I know different artist have different renderings but look it up, he's in the 6'5" area and when he first came out as Super Patriot, they portrayed him as quite a bit bigger than Cap. And finally there absolutely, positively, without a doubt has to be a space for freakin Moon Knight. It's Blizzard with a cape and Taskmaster's hood and maybe some belts. That's it. The paint job's not even that complicated. Pleeeeease, already.

 

BTW. Not to be that "correction guy" but the two Energized figs are not reuse of the Panther mold. Wonder Man i's either the Reaper or Namor mold & Cap Brit is actually the Hyperion mold.

Just saw photos of the Abomination. Can you believe he's smaller than the Toybiz version?!?! His coloring is kinda weird as well. Even though his size is technically accurate, considering most ML collectors think "bigger is better" (and in this instance I'm forced to agree), there's gonna be a lot of people disappointed in this.

 

Short (well shorter than expected)

No closed fists (since it's using Rhino arms and Green Goblin Hands, I may have to find some more arms and do some custimizing)

Suspect color scheme (Here's hoping the SDCC version looks better)

 

Disappointing. I'm sure a lot of you will alter your view on this. I'm a completionist AND I'm going to Comic-Con and will get the Raft set so I'll end up with 2 (not so sure how well this will sell on eBay now).

now if they just paint him blue and give him a new head that would be passable for A-bomb

They'd have to do a bit more than that. A-Bomb had only 2 fingers on each hand (with opposable thumbs of course).

 

 

I did say passable lol

 

anyway, does anyone else think they might repaint/retool SW into a Comic version Jessica Jones?
