She really didn't do a whole heckuvalot. Yeah, she was in Generation Next; she and Colossus were mentoring the kids. She basically wore claws and yelled at the kids about how serious and dangerous everything was. And nobody looks lame when Bachalo draws them! -
Fantastic Four-related HasLab Speculation
MonsterChris replied to RyanDaly's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
If Galactus is the project I would much rather have something other than exclusive figures be the tiered unlockables. I think someone above suggested his world devouring machine as an idea. However, if the project is Galactus and if he ends up including exclusive figures, I think they could do some characters that wouldn't anger or disenfranchise too many people. There's Johnny Storm as Herald of Galactus, for example. Maybe Shalla Bal? Maybe a Galen Taa? I think they've got some options there. -
Fantastic Four-related HasLab Speculation
MonsterChris replied to RyanDaly's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
I don't think that in most cases it's a fear of the tiers not getting unlocked. I think some folks just don't want to see the heralds be exclusive to a very expensive Galactus release. Maybe they already have a Galactus in their collection that they see as serviceble and just really want a Firelord or Air-Walker or whomever to go with him. Not every collector can swing a HasLab investment. I certainly get that. -
Do we know what time the Marvel Legends panel is? The website doesn't really say. Just that preorders for everything go live at 5:00.

Loki - Exclusive First-Look Trailer
MonsterChris replied to Outsiders's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
The Time-Keepers thing is interesting. Is there any chance Owen Wilson is maybe playing Eternity? That would certainly be in keeping with Marvel casting quirky, affectatious actors in the Elders of the Universe roles. Either way, I would hope they keep going with this. I love everyone cast so far in those roles. We need Chris Walken as The Stranger next! I wonder if Kang will be teased or make his debut appearance in the show at all. -
After reading the headline I was fixing to be all upset that an anticipated comic-based figure was going to be the build-a-figure for an MCU wave, but now, having seen him, I'm not so hot for that Mr. Hyde. He looks really well done, but it's not the design I was hoping for. I'll give it a year or two to see if he gets a deluxe release with a more classical look. If not, I can see snagging a completed one once the heat dies down on him. Anxious to see what else Hasbro has up their sleeve next Friday.

Black Widow Hitting Theaters and Disney+ Now On July 9
MonsterChris replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Yeah it does. Hopefully the research will show them making less money at the $30 price point than if they had gone somewhere in the $10 to $20 range. I'm remembering when e-books first started catching on and everybody was wondering what they should charge for them. Studios and streaming services will move the line back and forth to see what gets them the best return. I'm not going to pay it. I'm with you and will sneak off to a weekday matinee for eight bucks. -
Black Widow Hitting Theaters and Disney+ Now On July 9
MonsterChris replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I think the assumption is that you're likely to have two or more people gathering in the living room to watch. Yeah, that is definitely steep, but by the same token you can't take your family to the movies for $30. Heck, you can't even do two for $30. Plus no sticky floors, no screaming children, and I can pause while my wife inexplicably has to pee again even though she just went half an hour ago. This is the future. This is where and when the precedents are going to be set. -
Blew my hair back, man. The effects and action were top-notch. And Batroc. You can never have too much Batroc. I cannot wait for episode 2!

Agreed, that buck is all wrong for him. He should be much stockier. I would for sure pay out for a new Hammerhead. Spider-Man 2099 and classic Boomerang as well!

I thought "Dreadnought" first before I thought of an updated Mandroid. Either would be cool, execution depending. I've always wanted three of each. He's more AIM than Hydra, but a classic version of The Super-Adaptoid comes to mind as well. A figure at 8 or 9 inches tall with some interchangeable pieces for its power mimicry seems like something they would charge $50 for. Another long shot could be a Sleeper robot. They've got that classic Red Skull coming out after all. This guy is pretty stompy.

Lol, yeah, I think I'm just too grouchy for the internet. Concepts like "unboxings" and "reaction videos" ("influencers" in general really) make me roll my eyes. Maybe I'm missing the point of the video, but like @RoddyDrama, I came away from it wondering if there was leg articulation. We covered her t-shirt but couldn't cover that? Anyway, I can see the peg through Iceman's leg, so I'm guessing calf rotation on both? I can absolutely see these guys making my Christmas morning ca. 1986, which seems to be what they're going for. I'm talking a big abstinence game, but if I see one walk

Well that review certainly was... I think these figures look really cool for what they are. They're also not for me, but I can see there's a lot of love in them. My only critique is that I dislike when an action figure doesn't come with anything. Everybody should get an accessory of some kind.
-
Right. I don't do MCU, so this gives me a little breathing room. Maybe I can even grab one or two things from the backlog!

I would take a new, smaller Rhino just as happily. A Sandman reissue would be a good choice and please a lot of people. I thought it slightly less likely since the BAF was already the second release of that sculpt.
