The figure is fine but, not worth $50. I guess the intention was to pad out the overall package with the accessories but, i think that is where this fumbles, imo... -peter head doesn't look very good. -2nd masked head doesn't look too different from the other one. -the exposed forearms have oversized hands & wrist shooters. -the stand for the web glob sits too low. -no stand for the figure. This seems like a glaring omission to me. Just seems like a bunch of ultimately useless filler to me.

Well I want to be optimistic and say hopfully everyone will get a second chance to get this figure, while initial target pre-orders sold out, it seems like that ends up being the case when they first hit online, but if things keep the course they have it will be in ample stock once the figure actually gets released, and likely in time be made available at other online stores, like BBTS etc. I've seen this happened before, only to find that Sold out wasn't actually the case, just the first batch. I too missed out on this, but it now seems to be a fan channel figures in Canada and e-tailers have it for pre-order. Stay Strong!

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. We continue our look at all the teams that the Wrecker has been part of with a look at a much more expanded version of the Master that was formed to aid Hydra in taking over the United States, Army of Evil. This was just a fun selection of known villains and villains teams with many character still needing to be done. If you want me to do a Missing Legends about any them, put in a request here. Speaking of Missing Legends, this coming Wednesday, that is when the 50th Missing Legends will be posted. If you missed it, we are doing something a little different this time round. Head to this post -Poll – 50th Missing Legends - where you can vote for five character that had prototypes made but never officially released. The winner will get the honor of being the 50th Missing Legends on this site. Who knows. if Hasbro sees how much we want this, maybe they will officially release it? Hopefully? God I hope so because I want all five.

Finally pulled the trigger on Lockjaw and Crystal. I used a 20 bucks off coupon on EE, so got it for 50. 50 is fair, 70 was Not. Crystal is really nice, glad to have the Inhuman, Avenger, FF member, Quicksilvers baby momma. Lockjaw is pretty cool, but all the issues covered before are the issue. But knowing that going in made it Sting less. Im.glad I got them, but really glad I waited. Just worried I'll see them at Ollie's for 20 bucks in a week, Lol! Gambit and Husk finally shipped from Pulse, so....Nemesis here we go!!! So weird who.got which ones first compared to eachother on this set.

Re: Maximum Spidey First gut reaction says it looks good but then you see those same wonky hip joints they put on the Mini Comic Wave Miles. That's just unacceptable and at $50 it's just criminal. I did pass on this from the start. I just didn't think it was that much better than the RYV Spidey and the extra accessories that should have been there anyway did little to convince me. As a matter of fact just seeing this review I actually think the RYV Spidey is better. At least he doesn't look like he's in need of a major hip replacement. I know it's a drop pin which I am a major fan of but somehow other companies and even other lines under Hasbro's own umbrella seem to be able to do it without a gap big enough to drive the Hellcharger through. Sure okay you can put him into those crazy McFarlane poses but this is supposed to be the be all end all most definitive version of Spider-Man so are we to assume that McFarlane and his wacky art is the one who created the most definitive version of Spider-Man? Now that's crazy. I think guys like Sal Buscema, John Romita, Mike Zeck and even guys like Mark Bagley and Erik Larsen might have something to say about that. At least those guys had a general understanding of anatomy and body mechanics. Bottom line it's excessive and it's overhyped and overpriced just like the NWH Electro figure. And those hip joints for as functional as they may be for giving him the ability to kick himself in the head are the worst I've seen on any figure from any company in a long long time. Passed on both of these monstrosities and it was money well not spent.

It happens. Generally I find his work appealing but it does get monotonous and he does tend to get sloppy. Don't know if you're old enough to remember Mark Silvestri's run on the X-men but man at the end of his run it was pretty bad. Same when he was on Wolverine. They both started off great and even though I don't think his work was terrible compared to a lot of the artists of the time but it was clearly rushed. Maybe it was a schedule or work load thing but he's one of those guys where it's very apparent when he's got time and love to put into his work versus when he's just doing his job or he's just trying to meet a deadline. That's why all these artists eventually just become cover artist where they can really concentrate on one awesome image instead of taking on full time illustrating duties of dozens of panels to fill up. I'm actually surprised and impressed by Ramos taking on this task. Of course all series today rarely run past 6 issues so he's probably only agreed to 6 issues or will bail out after that many if it continues after that. Marvel has become a master of the old bait and switch. Good thing is that if it is only a few issues we'll probably get Ramos' best for that short time.

Fabian is the darn last one for me, every single place I try to get him from says he isn't being released until May, but but...I have everyone else so how does that make sense🧐, I just want to build that Nemesis! But got Kaine from the spidey wave today, that was the final figure from that wave I was trying to get..and it was playing hard to, looks so good in hand, I understand why.

Cyclops is the last one I'm waiting for. Can't wait to complete Nemesis.

The Age of Apocalypse Gambit arrived yesterday from Amazon. Just waiting on Nightcrawler (who has shipped) to complete the wave.

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. The next Missing Legends coming up will be this site’s 50th. Of the 49 of them, four of them have been made, Lilandra, Crystal, Power Princess (Mephisto’s Simulacrum), and Destiny. (All women it seems.) Because of this I wanted to do something different for the next Missing Legends. Instead of looking at characters that Hasbro has yet to give an indication of wanting to make, I decided to look at character Hasbro not only has thought of releasing but also had prototype made of them. Below you will find five characters with figures that have yet to be released for various reasons, like during the Dark period of ML, not winning a fan poll or the Haslab not funding. (Before anyone asked, I already did an NCS for Mephisto using the Select version.) Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to pick one of these and I will do a Missing Legends of it next week. If the poll doesn’t appear below, click here.

I really like how this looks, but it's not fairly priced. There's no way this is a deluxe figure 😕

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. We continue and finish our look at the Masters of Evil. Today we go from the Thunderbolt period of the team (there will be a more in dept look at the T-Bolts when I eventually do their own page) all the way up to the most recent incarnation from the Secret Empire team. I said it a few times in the page, but I consider the Young Masters, the West Coast Masters and the Mutliversal Master separate teams. There are quite a few extra members that still need to be made but like I said last time, don't be surprised if a few of them get slotted into a wave at some point. As always if you want me to do a Missing Legends for any of them, enter here - Missing Legends Requests. The next post will be Monday.

Alright, so the cover of the first issue looks appealing, but by the final panel of his last issue it may be a different situation!

Agreed. This is a pretty swell looking figure.

I LOVE THIS!! I got the Cyclops...now I gotta get this Wolverine !! Mondo...your killin me!

Today Mondo released this teaser image for what appears to be a new New Soft Vinyl Dr. Doom figure. stay-tuned for more details soon.

Man, I hope Amazon.ca has the preorders too (which they should, but who know for how long?) as he looks to be a much better base for my disembodied Shadow King head.

So it's a bit of a tight fit, I recommend heating it up, but the Husk neutral head on the Tri Sentinel BAF wave Moira body makes a pretty fine Karen Page, she fits in comic and live action displays pretty well

Ain't nothing geeky about that, or at least, geekier than already collecting this stuff. Kitbashing is a time-honored tradition. BTW that Tux Indy is the best figure that line released.

A Geek maybe. But a resourceful Geek. Nice work. Funny how Hasbro always finds a way to secure the likeness' of the actors from one Disney property yet can't seem to work out all the kinks to do it for another possibly better selling Disney property. Even if it's the same darn actor. Hmmmm. Let's ponder that for a second.

Old age LoL I have to use READERS for my cell! I paid $37.99 for my "Electro" (quotes intentional; that ain't Jaimie Foxx!). It was actually $39.99, but I used my Target card and they gave me a whopping 5% off! It is WAY overpriced. But I took the plunge in hopes Foxx becomes an action figure in ANOTHER property, and I can just harvest the head and pop it on "Electro." I've done this with 2 other figures. Jude Law plays a character in that new Star Wars show, and he has a 6" Black Series figure. I took that head and put it on Yon Rogg from MCU's Captain Marvel so I could have an "no helmet/visor" portrait. I took another SW figure head from old man Han Solo. His head was placed on a white tux Indiana Jones figure, and this is now my President "Thunderbolt" Ross figure. I admit it: I'm a geek LoL

Awesome....group hug, everyone!
