Walmart Winter 2024 Collector-Con Event Dates Announced
SpiderS replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
It looks to me there's sculpted lines that also have paint in them but it seems like paint didn't properly align with sculpted lines and it makes it look like there's only painted on lines. -
This looks truly great, new arms and legs make this figure so much more pleasing to look at, previous figure suffered a lot from blocky sculpt of pizza Spidey arm and legs but now it's finally well sculpted, head is also pretty well done, I just wish second head had a different hair sculpt for variety, as it is they are way too similar heads.

Mafex Venom looked pretty good but he was way too small, which makes good sculpt pointless unless you have the figure by itself without any other mafex figures. If this reissue was the exact same figure but 20-15% bigger than the og, it could have sold really well.

Hasbro X-men 97 Marvel Legends Series Wave 2 Figures
SpiderS replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I think one thing they could have done to get Goblin Queen on next level would have been them hiding thigh cut by fully inserting leg into her thigh high boots, yes it would have been hard to do but figure would end up so much more aesthetically satisfying. -
Hasbro X-men 97 Marvel Legends Series Wave 2 Figures
SpiderS replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Agreed they really messed up with Jean Grey's torso articulation. Overall sculpt is also pretty weak, I feel like 3-pack Jean for all its flaws was more interesting figure sculpt and paint wise. I wonder if I can give arms from 97 Jean to 3 pack Jean. -
Hasbro X-men 97 Marvel Legends Series Wave 2 Figures
SpiderS replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Not the Goblin Queen I wanted but it's a great looking figure nonetheless, I'm shocked they gave Magneto all new arms with sculpted long gloves, I think everyone would be happier if Hasbro invested into new arms for Ka-Zar without ugly glove lines and Magneto with painted on long gloves. -
If they re release Sabretooth they should go with smaller head, headsculpt we got is great and superior to previous ones but it's a bit too big, 10 percent smaller head would make this body stand out and more imposing, Mondo figure got that idea really well and to the great effect. I wonder how Toybiz head might sit on that body (with help of Dremel too of course. But I think it more likely to get cartoon style head if there's a rerelease.

Marvel MAFEX Wolverine Figure Video Review And Images
SpiderS replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I find it funny that their Wolverine is bigger than the Legends one but every other Mafex figure is obviously smaller than ML scale figures. -
They have really strong line of figures for this show. Archangel is majestic but painted on gloves and boots with cut lines do cheapen him, another good reason why they should have given Vision new sculpted arrow shaped gloves and boots, that would have serious reuse potential and give many figures premium feel.

Hasbro X-men 97 Marvel Legends Series Wave 2 Figures
SpiderS replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
From promo pics it looked like Cyclops had lolipop syndrome thing going on but I wonder if it's the case on the actual figure, sadly, so far promo pics are good indicator of final figures, like how assassin Spider had weird hips for some reason. -
Aside from few amazing episodes like Dark Dr. Strange, Zombie one and Captain Carter one, series is the definition of mediocre. I think season 2 was far weaker than the first and yes it's good to have some funny episodes here and there but this series skews way too much towards kid friendly and comedic stuff and misses whole point and spirit of What if comics, where majority of stories had a pretty dark and bad endings not "they lived happily ever after" type of endings, that's what made What if comics unique from regular comics, this risk aversion makes this tv series incredibly boring and even less memorable than any what if comic. I read there was some plans for Spider-man meets Children of Men episode and that would have been amazing but it was considered too dark... 1602 Episode was straight up mockery of brilliant Neil Gaiman story that was turned from creative and layered tale into some silly Saturday morning Disney channel special, so I'm not sad that season 3 will be final but I gotta give them huge respect for having Kahhori episode be fully subtitled, this is how it always should be when it comes to scenes where there's no logical sense for characters to speak modern english.

I think set will sell well enough just for the sake of it being classic Mystique, especially if they give her extra articulation like Black Widow. Even emaciated Walgreens Mystique sold like crazy, and if anything slightly lower sales might be good because collectors will be able to get this set for retail price until it eventually twice as much on after market. On another note I’m excited to see Warbird/Ms. Marvel get another try. I wonder if they will reuse Power princess base that actually not as tall if you have her on flat feet or they will rework moonstone or even use Shriek body, which would be more lazy.

Actually if you give this amazing new mold flat feet she won't be as super tall as she seems, without her platforms she probably is the same height as Vulcan body. As mentioned above Classic Valkyrie and Sif for sure would work and look great on this body, hopefully they are coming soon, they are easily in my top for Hasbro remakes. I don't know about Titania though, she is better off on potential upcoming new She-Hulk body mold but tbh I definitely can see Hasbro going easy way and reusing Power Princess for new classic She-Hulk.

This Doc Ock looks good enough but when you compare him to Spider-Man 2 Doc from 20 years ago it feels like a less detailed figure, especially when you look at tentacles of SM2 version which is full of all kinds of details despite overall wonkiness of all toy biz figs, yet I'm just happy we got bendable tentacles on Doc Ock again and I guess progress isn't as fast we think it is.
