Hey, thanks JP! And backatcha. @jp_superpaperhero is honest and dependable, and he even threw in some free swag with my delivery!

I completely understand any reluctance to do business with a stranger by means of a platform (i.e. this forum) with no assurance of accountability. I've listed a few of my action figures from the above list on eBay. I hope anyone who might have interest in my figures but have been apprehensive to buy or trade will feel more comfortable bidding. Thanks, everyone!

Definitely subjective. I remember when GotG was announced by Marvel Studios. I watched the trailer thinking "Where's Vance Astro?" I was also pretty bummed out that Aleta wasn't in it, haha. I was only vaguely familiar with the title back in the early 90s. I certainly didn't follow it for the two and a half decades between then and the film's release. Darkhawk is another early 90s guy with whom I'm familiar only because I had a classmate in third grade who was obsessed with the character while the rest of us were into the X-Men.

I didn't say Stan Lee. That was AnotherPunkChef.

What kind of compensation are you asking for items on your wants list that don't match the value of the items you're trading? For instance, you're asking for any ML Mjolnir, but the value of any one of your MISB figures far exceeds that of one accessory piece.

Thanks for checking out my list! I just saw your DM and replied a second ago.

I've seen it going for around $35 online. If you can manage the extra $10, that might be your most reliable option.

On topic, I'm surprised to see the figures being listed above as pegwarmers. Here on the Alabama gulf coast, all I ever see is Lizard BAF Wave Spider-Woman and Gwenpool. Walgreens' shelves will always carry, like, ONE Medusa or Yellow-Suited Daredevil, maybe a Thundra or Namor. Until recently, there was absolutely no shortage of Time Heist-Suited Cap, but that wasn't a surprise.

The example that always comes to mind for me is FF's 80s costumes: white trims, BLACK fill. It had been explicitly stated in the issues' dialogue among characters, albeit probably only a very few number of times. I'm holding my breath in hope that when the figures depicting this era are released, they're properly colored.

Sasquatch or Juggernaut wave?

This was exactly my line of thought when the figure was unveiled at SDCC. I'd been referring to that depiction of Thor as "Fat Thor," which I thought was direct and concise enough. I definitely agree that the Big Lebowski references and any derivative of the name "Lebowski" are far more applicable than "bro" (which to me, like in your case, mentally conjures negatively-associated images of the entitled, American, "frat" stereotype). I have a feeling it's a case of the latter from your list of possibilities (a generational re-purposing of an existing word that contradicts or negates the existing meaning and associations). I've just been presuming since SDCC that Hasbro was making an effort to distance themselves from The Big Lebowski for legal reasons. Maybe Hasbro was considering "Bro" as an interchangeable term for "Dude"? Like how a budget-brand version of "Frosted Flakes" might be called "Sugar-Coated Corn Flakes"?

I'm honestly not too familiar with She-Hulk other than her brief tenure in the Fantastic Four and a few scattered appearances by her in other characters' titles, but I'm with you. If I was going to add a new ML She-Hulk to my collection, I'd prefer it to be one of the three you listed.

I know it's been said thousands of times already, but She-Hulk in her FF uniform would have been a better fit. I suppose they skipped that iteration this time since the rest of the team is depicted in their modern appearance. With that said, I'm hoping we get a FF She Hulk whenever the figures of the team in their Secret Wars-era white & black costumes are released.

She-Hulk! Totally blanked on her. Thanks!

Yeah, SS's legs in those pictures look like they're from the Hyperion/Sabertooth sculpt. I've probably overlooked it, but has the sixth figure in the FF wave been announced?
