Venom doesn't look too bad. Knee and ankle joints certainly would be nice, but i'm more interested in sculpts than articulation. I wonder if they cut out leg joints for stability or some other structural reason, or just to save money. On a side note, it's disturbing to think we'll soon be at the point where 3.75" MUs cost as much as MLs once did (and we won't even be getting the BAF or comic with 'em). It's also pretty funny that last year Wal-Mart finally gave up taking a loss on their toys by undercutting everyone else on price. Now they charge as much as Target or Toys R Us for most toys, and more for MUs.

Oh, and with Dr. Doom coming, I finally have a reason for hanging onto the Chronicles of Narnia Telmarine Castle. I've been waiting a year and a half to make it Castle Doom.

These look great. I'm so excited that they're making the entire Wrecking Crew. Guess it's a no-brainer that Piledriver and the Wrecker himself are coming next. By the way, did anyone notice the cool little Wasp pack-in? I wonder if she plugs into someone's back (like ML Wonderman's Yellowjacket) or has a little stand or something. She must be tiny to be dwarfed by 3.75" figures like that.

i think they're just bases from ML painted, because the Hand is definately from Gambit Yup, those are just the original bases re-painted in a comic-accurate purple. The originals were in those weird red-and-gold colors, as if the X-Men had just defeated Iron Man. The re-paint is very nice, especially on the head, but the customizer should probably specify what exactly they did so people aren't misled.

Hey, who put the Honky-Tonk Man's head on Wolverine's body? "I'm cool, I'm cocky, I'm the best at what I do.."

So you're saying the store that's 101 miles from you has a whole stockroom full, right?

Heh.

OMG OMG OMG!!!! THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!! I AM GOING TO BUY THEM ALL!!! THE MAVREL UNIVERSE SUCKS AND I WONT BUY ANY OF THEM!!! THEY ARE FOR LOOSERS!!!! MARVEL LEGENDS RULEZ!!!! THIS IS SO AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's definitely not as enormous as the ML6 Juggernaut, but considering the ML version will run you $30 or more, the new SMC at $11 is definitely worth it. It's a nice figure with a good sculpt even if it is a little undersized. He's still much bigger than Spider-Man, though. In fact, there's a thread with side-by-side photos of all the latest SMC figures here somewhere. It seems counterproductive to refuse to buy this one because it's not the ML version. Then you end up with neither. Even if you do someday acquire ML Juggernaut, there's nothing wrong with having two different versions of the same character. I'm sure most of us here have multiple Hulks, Captain Americas, Wolverines, Fantastic Four members, etc.

These are terrific! Great work. Although Marvel Legends apparently has met its end, I hope we'll at least see these guys in the MU scale someday--particularly the Reaper.

Nice custom. The only small suggestion I have is to change the feet a little because Rhino's costume never had human feet. As I recall, he's usually drawn with one solid toe (like a boot) or 2-3 "Rhino toes."

Well, it's out of Hasbro's hands now. Walmart owns the product. I'm not sure if they've got them all in a warehouse somewhere or what, but they're the ones who've shown absolutely no concern for releasing this wave in the States. I realize it's a store exclusive and all, but you'd think Hasbro would at least point out to Walmart that this is making Hasbro look bad, and it's dicking over their longtime fans.

So there's still no updates on a U.S. release date? Do our members who work at Wal-Mart know anything, or can they check a computer or something? I'm really trying not to pay a fortune to the scalpers, but I have a bad feeling that these will never see the light of day in the U.S.

I'm assuming you paid online via credit card. Open a dispute with your credit-card company. You'll get a temporary credit back while they investigate. If indeed ToyGlobe hasn't done squat, the sale will get canceled and the credit will become permanent. Same thing if you paid with PayPal. Just make sure that you're still within your time limit to dispuate a charge. I think PayPal is only like 30 or 60 days.

little works of art, man. i'd love to see more
