Marvel Select almost always had great promo pics of their prototype Marvel figures. However, upon actual release, it seemed (to me at least) that the actual figure looks nothing like their promotional pics (aka looks far worse). Look at their Captain Marvel figure, for example. I'll take the "wait and see" approach for anything Marvel Select.

It's really sad because Erivera is usually spot-on with his reviews (I didn't watch his review on this Magneto though) and he doesn't criticize other reviewers. This Magneto was probably the easiest pass for me since it seems almost a straight-up reuse AND mainly because that helmeted head sculpt looks just terrible. It looks like a middle-aged man cosplaying as Magneto. And also what's up with his "bored" look expression. Yikes! And I have no attachment to the BAF Tri-Sentinel. What comic/story is this sentinel even from?

More "filler" content which really serves no purpose for Marvel fans but rather a weak attempt at "adding content" to their Disney Plus streaming service. It was confusing to see a bunch of clips from movies that I'd already seen, so imagine how much more confusing it would be for someone who hasn't seen any of the Marvel films. I understand with COVID-19, production has been slowed down, but adding a bunch of "content" that's made up of past movie clips is just lazy. I've already been questioning my subscription with Disney Plus due to the lack of promised Marvel content, but this "extra" stuff is convincing me that the money spent isn't really worth it.

Dammit, Mafex! I don't have an Endgame Thor, so this may be it! Just still concerned about Mafex's quality control. Anyone have a recent Mafex purchase who can attest to the QC of their figure(s)? Many thanks in advance for your help!

Those "blast" effects look pretty cheap for something that costs around $80. Loving the overall design of this particular Iron Mar armor though.
-
She was available on Amazon but now is sold out.

Both of Black Widow's facial and hair sculpt looks a little off. Can't really put my finger on it though. But that Taskmaster looks amazing!
-
That Big Time Spider-man actually looks nice! So relieved about that. Does that Anti-Agent Venom have working holsters? I'm not sure about that in the photos. That Wolverine head sculpt leaves something more to be desired. Hmmm....

The Target exclusive two-pack is now available online. This has still been up and available since this morning, so good luck you guys! And thank you Target for not being stupid about their exclusives (looks at Walmart). And kudos to the collector EbonyRaw who posted the link for Ebony Maw via Amazon! You da best! That guys is sold out on Hasbro Pulse already!

Despite what was written in this letter, it all seems self-congratulatory in their eyes as a job well done. The cancellation of the all the Netflix/Marvel shows would've been better if this "letter" wasn't released to the public. What a bunch of pricks.
-
Wait, so they cancelled actually enjoyable shows (not including the crap-fest Iron Fist) but are allowing Jessica Jones to have a third season? Wow.
-
Initially, I pre-ordered the set but forgot that Kraven's facial expression was way too exaggerated for my tastes. Cancelled and haven't looked back. Btw, the Walmart Exclusive Loki and Corvius Glaive is up for preorder on Walmart's website. That Amazson "Family Matters" 3-pack with Magneto looks absolutely fantastic!
-
I find it interesting that Colleen's facial sculpt looks more like May from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Here's hoping we get figures from that tv show! **I want that Daisy Johnson/Quake figure already!**)
