  1. Wait- these are coming boxed? I thought they were supposed to be a "wave"- are they still shipping in an assorted case, or just as individual items?
  2. Jean has her hand on her tummy, and Rogue looks to be taking a peaceful nap. Looks like Kamala brought an awesome buffet of snacks to The Xavier institute, and everyone else is sleeping it off.
  3. Yeah, it would have been nice if the 80th. anniversary stuff actually celebrated all 80 years, not just the past 62 or so. It would have been the ideal time to do true Golden Age versions of Namor and Bucky, finally do Hammond Human Torch and possibly Toro, redo first appearance Cap, maybe give us a GA Red Skull, and throw in an oddball character or two, like The Whizzer. Yeah, I would really like to see more oddball characters overall. I know certain characters will just always have good demand, so I understand all of the Wolverines, Iron Mans, etc., but too many of the other figures tend to be very modern, like Marvel Boy and Kid Omega, when there are so many decades worth of interesting figures/characters to be made.
  4. Yeah, Hasbro's horrible inconsistencies with estimated release dates are one of multiple reasons that I pre-order less and less from them. I didn't order this set, but I pre-ordered 4 GI Joe figures (scheduled for September) and one Indiana Jones figure (scheduled for December), and they all just shipped.
  5. I want it, but I'm going to wait for in-store availability. I don't think it will be a "hot seller," and if I pre-order, Target will put an authorization hold on my credit card over and over, impacting my available credit, and end up sending it to me after it has already been showing up in stores for weeks, if not months.
  6. It's so frustrating... if this wasn't translucent, it would be a nice figure. For the 27th. time : Iceman is not a translucent person- he is a man, coated in ice! The Human Torch is not a clear person- he is a man (or android) covered in fire! A translucent figure only works if you then coat it with an opaque paint that covers almost all of it.
  7. These are pretty cool, I may need to get some if they show up online- eBay, etc.- for relatively inexpensive prices. They really look almost... non-scaled. Everyone but Rocket looks to be very close in height, and Rocket seems pretty tall.
  8. Rom and Crystar are high on my want list of Marvel Legends. Does anyone know if there are complications with the rights, due to being toy tie-in characters?
  9. So close, and yet so far... the front "loincloth" piece looks really bad- it looks like a cheap, heavy felt, which won't actually "drape" well over the Sky Cycle. The black outlines of the rectangles also look really bad, largely because the rectangles on the top half of the figure don't have any kind of outline, or wash, etc., to bring out the details, so they just don't match up. They could have included an interchangeable plastic loincloth, and/or executed the fabric one well, and this would be a home run. Frustrating.
  10. Yeah... I wish it was less lazy. The modern Cap pants, with the armored kneepads, just don't work well at all. It's a character that I've wanted, and I'll probably buy it eventually, but it is DEFINITELY a "wait for a decent discount" figure.
  11. Cyborg Spider-Woman looks cool, but for almost 60 bucks, it’s disappointing that she doesn’t at least come with an interchangeable left hand and/or a blast effect or two.
  12. Yikes- that stinks. Sorry to hear that. I would definitely post on Hasbro's social media about it.
  13. They 100% know that Spidey waves tend to be some of the strongest sellers, so they think they can do this and it won't have a hugely negative impact on sales. Never mind that the previous Spidey retro waves were full of definitive versions of classic characters/costumes, and usually included a bunch of accessories/parts. As you said, too, there are plenty of characters particularly villains, that would work well as BAFs for Spidey waves. Many of those would probably never get a deluxe release, either, due to obscurity.
