Completed the Puff Adder wave by snagging Molecule Man and (shudder) Orb. 

 Can't wait to assemble Puff Adder.. he looks like a lot of fun.

Just got Emma, only one for the wave for me.  The figure looks great, easily the best in this costume, but the cape, the heels, they're everything I was afraid they'd be.

last week I went on a Target toy hunt for the 1st time in a year and hit 4 Targets.  I should have stopped after the 1st, as it had the best selection of the 4.  That Target had most of the Guardians of the Galaxy wave, in multiples. Most of the Ch'od wave was there , minus Cyclops, Corsair, Emma Frost and Fang.  I was really only interested in Corsair.  Not picking anything up that day, I went back to the Target that was best stocked yesterday and found that the missing wave figures had been restocked.  I was able to get the only Corsair there and and came across the Astonishing  Ant-Man and snagged it.  Is it just me or is it due to the windowless packaging, I checked the packaging to make sure the tape hasn't been tampered with and I shake the item to hear that "paper " noise inside. Am I crazy or what???

Cyclops, Emma Frost, Fang, and Kid Omega just arrived from Amazon.

Got Egghead today from Gamestop

he looks so lame, crazy they gave us this character. Happy to add such an obscure loser to the shelf Ha.

I picked up Ant-Man and Tracksuit Mafia (x2) today.

Two weeks ago, score Classic Star-lord, and yesterday score Mk70 Iron Man.  The former is exactly the figure I was hoping for, and the latter is another fine addition to my Iron Man shelf.

Got a notice from Pulse at the beginning of the week that Animated Aunt May and Doc Ock were shipping soon and they showed up today, got to be the fastest turn around from Pulse in over a year.  Ock looks great, and I'll take any Aunt May for the collection.  But overall, not an essential set, and I'm not the best at posing, but for the life of me I couldn't get Ock to stand on his tentacles, and I could have sworn that was a big point the team made other than talking up the bendy wire construction.

Grabbed the new-ish War Machine, the one repainted blue and black on the Modular armor base. He is a solid figure and I'm digging the colors. 

Is he officially a comic armor? Or just a video game skin? I am second guessing since he isn't on Gamerverse packaging

It's video game only.

Back when Capcom was developing Marvel vs. Capcom in 1997, Iron Man's video game right became tied up due Acclaim's development of the Iron Man/X-O Manowar crossover game. After having to omit the character entirely from Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Capcom found a workaround for MvC, which was to simply color-swap Iron Man and call him War Machine. Or that's how the legend goes at least.

Thanks for the info. You always go above and beyond and I appreciate the extra info. 

I really only collect  video game figures if they are Avengers so this one applies. The more I've checked him out the more I'm really digging the color scheme.
