Well heres another chance to win this! Always a welcome!

I cant say Im not surprised and I cant say I will miss it. Easily the weakest marvel show of the netflix brand. Sure this last season was better but I think it was too little too late. This possibly means no more defenders either.

I cant wait to get that Prof X and his chair. Looks so good!

Yeah I havent been in the minimates game for years now. I would on occasion get some of the cooler unique and favored characters from TRU because they were exclusive there but since TRU is gone I dont go out of my way to find them. I feel like they have kind of slowed down on their Marvel ones and just spanned out to other properties that Im not interested in.

There are times where I think the approval process at Marvel is sometimes like look the other way kind of thing. Or is in a just hurry it up to stores we dont care kind of thing. Dont get me wrong tho, id say about 90% of the stuff thats approved is pretty great. I think thats why that stuff sticks out so much. Now some designs theyve dont arent always great, they are usually acceptable. That Wolverine head is something that they just keep using and it should be taken out of production but due to costs Im sure they are just like eh run with it. Ironically I m pretty sure Typhoid Marys head is actually Psylockes face reused. I saw a few places that stated it. Its all about the makeup that covers it all up. I cant confirm it but I wouldnt put it past them. But it is nice to have great looking female faces for a change. Toybiz couldnt model a good female face ever and Hasbro took like 10 years to even get anywhere remotely acceptable. They are only getting better so far tho.

yeah those are exclusive and primarily based on the cartoon shows. They are less detailed and more stylized which im not a fan of and they are bland imo.

Its been so long since Ive bought a minimate and with Toys R Us gone its alot harder for me to obtain them. I tend to like buying alot of the original and unique molds as well as favorite characters. I really want that Venom and Doppelganger set but where do they even sell them anymore? and can you even buy just one 2 pack and not the whole series? Ive been so out of the loop for a while now.

After seeing that set up of 90s Xmen, it makes me realize how close we are to getting that full xmen team in marvel legends! Also these look amazing! Im not much of a statue guy but those prices are much better than ones ive seen.

I just watched this earlier today after hearing that the trailer launched. This show just seems to not get bad. It has all kinds of excitement for me compared to the other shows and even those are pretty dang good. Maybe Ive hyped myself up because the last 2 were so good or maybe they just have outstanding writers compared to the others.. altho I do like Luke Cage and Punisher and Jessica Jones is ok. This looks fantastic!

Its not so much because its Gentle Giant, I actually love Gentle Giants work. Being an artist myself, you can notice similar works from the same artist. Not all the figures are in the same exact style of eachother. This specific head sculpt is so bad that you can see its similarities to a similar bad headsculpt.. this being Kraven to unmasked Logan. I wouldnt say that Psylockes head sculpt is bad in any way. I think most people were not happy with her overall body type choice. Sure her head doesnt match Jim Lees art its based on but honestly none of the figures theyve made do. They put a certain hasbro/gentle giant twist on the designs overall. Its why almost all of them are great but not perfect. Forge isnt terrible, just boring and somehow not as interesting looking as the crappier one they did years prior.

Did you seriously respond to your own post? are you a bot? XD

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention, looks like the same sculptor that did that ulgy as hell Logan head that keeps being reused for some reason, did the new Kraven head. It looks awful. Its got the signature eyes too far apart and gross squinty look that just all around looks off. Whoever that sculptor is should be fired or at least demoted.

Well that Shadowking alt head is friggin fantastic. Im just sad bc I want that kingpin baf but most of the wave is a huge pass for me. I love the Prof X and Jubilee is fantastic and FINALLY. Forge looks way more mediocre than I was anticipating him to be. Even the look of that old ass hasbro forge looked better in a few ways. (nice to see new future generic guns tho!) Glad to see alot of stuff that doesnt interest me so that I dont feel pressured to buy stuff I cant afford atm. No real must have BAFs altho kingpin.. shadowkinggg hnnggg. I hope we see more as the we go through the weekend but I wont hold my breath. Maybe we ll get more answers about how these waves are composed of and where Jubilee fits. I dont collect MCU but I must say the rest of the Black Order is looking great and screen accurate unlike Big boy was. Also wheres my GD Dr DOOOOOMMM?>? :D I have yet to see a Reed or a Surfer or a Magik for that matter.. but i did score a Thing. I also have like 7 walgreens in like a 20 mile radius of me.. Ive searched most of them multiple times. I freaking hope Jubilee is not a walgreens exclusive. Also everytime those exclusives go up on their website, their website crashes and is nigh impossible to get one.

God that wolverine/Logan head sculpt is so awful. Like it is just the ugliest effing thing Hasbros made since Ultimate Wolverine. The worst part is they keep reusing it like its good or something. The sentinel is cool but can never compare to the BAF of old. Also this mold makes the sentinels literally look like a kids toy. Its not menacing its so brightly one shade and bulky im expecting it to have kung fu action grip. Always love sharts reviews tho!

Typically I dont even attack a baf unless I like a good 80% of the wave. If I dont I either just pass on the BAF altogether or I find a way to obtain it either with sales or buy it outright(havent bought one by themselves yet tho). Hasbro hasnt really re-released many BAFs tho. I count 3 in total but I suspect we may see more in the future. At first I read that as the hasbro onslaught and was like hell yeah thats a great deal! but then as Im replying I see its the TB one, which it is nice, I love mine, but the plastic and the fact that they had to downsize it lowers its coolness for me. Altho when that wave originally came out I was crapping my pants over my favorite xmen villain finally getting a badass figure and the wave was stupendous for the time as well. All villains. That never happens. Im collecting on a budget too so I tend to celebrate when I see more MCU figures coming out (I dont collect MCU) so my wallet takes a sigh of relief.
