Looking at screen grabs and animation cels of ‘92 Nightcrawler and comparing to Mondo’s images, I don’t see a problem with the body type. Looks fine to me. I greatly appreciate the inclusion of all three head styles. ‘97, ‘92 and Pryde. I wish we could get the same treatment in Marvel Legends. Or even just an original Cockrum-style Nightcrawler.

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. Today we look at one of many characters that have had a MCU figure made for it, but we are still waiting for a comic book version of, (which reminds me I need to update that list.) Today we look at Franklin Richard's governess and Wanda Maximoff's mentor, Agatha Harkness. Yes I know some of you are going to cry about the synergy of the MCU with Agatha's new design but I don't care. I like the new design and want a figure of it. The next post will be on Saturday as we look at another team that Wonder Man has been part of, this time one that his brother actually started before others stole the idea.

I think there's plenty more they could do when it comes to figures. From giving us the Leader, to Sidewinder, to an updated Red Hulk or even a Ross figure the options are there. But they probably won't do anything and the movie's performance isn't going to encourage them...

I don't think this was as bad as a lot of people were making it to be. That being said, it's sooo forgettable. It's been 3 months and I have no interest in rewatching this movie. It's been like that with a few of their movies lately, but I really want to rewatch Thunderbolts. Anyway, let's see how F4 is going to do.

I'm probably wrong, but I would guess the baf would be the Thing. But, until we actually see another baf, I kinda feel like they are done with them.

If they're anything close to those customs that the guy on FB is doing they're going to be awesome. As much grief as they're giving to the whole female Silver Surfer issue, and I do have my own opinions, but I do like the look of her. People just got to understand this entire movie takes place in an alternate universe so anyone besides the FF in the movie is an alternate version. I bet that figure will be better than any SS done to date though.

Kind of surprised that we haven’t seen any real reveals (besides their arm) yet! I’d like to get the quartet, but we will see.

It's pretty decent sculpt, so I see the reason why they would reissue this figure but I really hope Hasbro will redo Age of Ultron Cap costume, which was overall the most comic book accurate looking costume that looked really good, if they give him more modern articulation that would be even more sweet, you would imagine that we would all the version of most favorite MCU character done and redone to death by now but this isn't the case, we still don't even have first appearance Wanda outfit from Age of Ultron.

That picture has me really excited. I love my F4 figures from the original movie, but the bendy extensions have lost their look, the invisible woman is yellow and the thing I got has action features. They're due an update and from the arms they look like they'll do a good job

Yea I just got it as well and man is this thing huge! I don't think people realize how big it really is it surprised me. Got to be 12 inches at least, very pleased with this.

My guess for the line is what they did for the Retro wave. The main 4 and and the last 2 spots are powered up versions of Johhny and Sue. Maybe the last 2 are store exclusives.

There's gotta be a 6th figure right? It would be really weird for them to skip 4 like that. Probably a store exclusive or maybe even that D2C Galactus that was rumored. I just went ahead and preordered them at Walmart just in case MSRP ends up being more than $25. If they go up for $25 everywhere I'll probably cancel and preorder at Amazon or Pulse but with the price uncertainty these days I'm not sure what'll happen so better safe than sorry. Granted I wouldn't put it past Walmart to just cancel all the preorders at $25 if MSRP ends up at $30, but it's worth a shot.

I couple of things to note, I am happy they are keeping the thing at regular MSRP. Though it seems like Reed is a single pack here, I am hoping for some stretch accessories, BUT if Hasbro did something akin to Jada's Dhalsim, I would have paid deluxe prices (as we know, Hasbro wouldn't give you really cool stretch accessories at regular price, cmon now). But I would eat my words GLADLY if they did.

I saw what was supposedly a leak from a solicitation list that included the the main 4, Shalla Bal Silver She-Fur and then Franklin/HERBIE packaged together, but I'm skeptical that we'll be getting a Franklin figure from this movie. What do I know, though? I also don't know if that leak was legit. It wasn't somebody like Dave from Displaying Model Behavior, Rektangular or someone like that who has earned the benefit of the doubt. We'll see. Regardless, the female surfer figures is probably the only one that I'll buy.

What if 4 is Reed and he's a deluxe to allow him a decent amount of stretchy parts?

Only 5 listings on Walmart. Granted it misses the number 4 but my guess if their were to be a Johnny and Human Torch one would be a store exclusive. May just be the FF and Silver Surfer.

I'm guessing the wave will be Reed Ben Sue Johnny Human Torch Silver Surfer BAF Herbie

Yeah, like it makes a mockery of calling it an A-List figure

This is a problem. It appears that Mondo is transitioning this line of figures to the X-Men '97 series. That's a slap in the face to us collectors who began collecting the line because it was originally X-Men: The Animated Series. Simply including an alternate X-Men '92 head doesn't solve the problem. The body type on this Nightcrawler figure is clearly not from XTAS; it's too lean, so I'm assuming it must be modeled after the X'97 series. The last couple of releases were labeled as X-Men '97 as well. I personally have no interest in X-Men '97. I think I'm going to contact Mondo to find out what their plan is for the future of this line. If they really are fully transitioning this line to 'X-Men '97 based figures, I'll have no reason to continue collecting these, or any other figures from them for that matter.

I sat down and watched Robokillah's FWOOSH review on the Loose Collector Red Sonja, aaaaand, here's my assessment; In comparison to the BF Red Sonja, it's really kind of a apple/oranges "your preference" thing. If you are strictly looking for a Marvel RS ( and my personal benchmark is the look from Marvel Team-Up #79--the only one I care about), then the LC Red figure is "close enough"-particularly with the details. The metal bikini, the gloves, the boots, the arm and thigh bands, all have elements that stem from that look...........but there are small differences. The BF Red is very close to that look in the comic, so much so that the differences are really minor, and the included accessory parts can make that version. Things like the gloves in the BF Red, have the slot-gap on the upper part of said glove, while the LC Red has indications of it. The LC boots have some designed gaps in the boot structure--which look nice-- but the BF Red have none, as per the comic look from that story. BF Red's sword is more accurate to the story, while LC Red's is "close enough", but different on the hand-guard. Now, here's the main thing: As a TOY, LC Red is a better figure. The bikini parts are either molded to, or better attached to the figure. BF Red's shoulder, boobs, and loid flap, are separate parts that ride on the buck. BF intends for their Red buck to be the first of a customer-customizable platform, that just requires extra accessories to make each version distinct---as their "Steam Punk Red" version now attests. LC Red's buck is also intended as "common", but they will make and present different figures ( Lady Death, Vampirella etc) via revised tooling and paint. BF's Red is a fiddly finicky figure. The armor parts slip and slide around a bit and can expose the nudity underneath, BUT that can be mitigated by using some of the other outfit gear parts. LC's Red has the loin-flap secured down, and panties painted on underneath ( from what I can see). The arm and thigh bands on the BF Red are not glued or molded on--they can slide about. That's an advantage (?) for display options. LC Red's version are all glued or molded to the figure, making a less-fussy posing situation. BF Red can go full-on "naughty movie" look if you schwing that way < blinks hard>. Then there's the trade-offs: BF Red comes with THREE heads, two are more or less the same expression, and one is a yelling expression, which I think looks really nice. The overall skin-tone is pale, and that may be a pivot point for some---I don't mind it. I think it fits what I know of Red Sonja. The LC Red flesh-tone is a bit more fleshy ( pink?) but not by a huge degree. The portrait with LC Red is lovely--I think it's the better painted and more attractive of the two figures. But there's only ONE head with the LC figure. She has more weapons though. BF offers a couple more hands, and extra clothing gear, plus a stand--the extra gear can make for a hybrid look or a Red from a different publisher's run. You got slightly more choice and maybe more value for the dollar. Lastly---price and access. The LC Red is now 2 years old, the BF Red is just now coming out. Both of these figures are "expensive", but in the $50 to $75 range, BBTS has both in stock at the moment. So, and to steal Robo's catch-phrase, at the end of the day, it comes down to what you want and look for. If you want spot-on accuracy ( as per MTU#79), then BF Red is the way to go. If you want "close-enough" with a better face, then LC can be your choice.
