I just opened my 80th Anniversary Thor. He's far and away my favorite classic Thor. Just a beautiful figure from top to bottom. Constructive criticisms: He's got next to no head movement side-to-side. Making his hair out of some softer plastic that could be bent up over the cape would have alleviated that some. Also, when are we going to get a legends-scaled whirling hammer effect accessory!? I put him up on my shelf to admire him for a day or so and he's casting a very dramatic shadow on the wall this morning.

I really hope not. We need some bad guys for the wave, yo. Gideon would be a great fit. So too would be some members of the Nasty Boys or the MLF.

Beautiful work as always, Christina! You sculpt the hair for a lot of these, do you not? Do you maybe have any documentation of that process - a video tutorial or something like that?

I'd rather just have a re-release of the Marvel Select for a few different reasons. First, the Select version was just about perfect in sculpt, proportion, and paint. The only real advantage a Legends release would have is articulation which, frankly, I don't think Uatu needs. He pretty much just stands around ominously. Yes, he's not as big as he should be, but a Legends BAF isn't going to be any bigger, and the Select version currently scales big enough to make the point. I'd much rather the precious, precious BAF slot go to someone that needs it more like Annihilus or the Awesome Android.

I always thought Willie should be a special mail away figure like the old Super Powers Clark Kent.

Want: Awesome Android. Baseless guess: Annihilus. And for the record I would love an Annihilus done well. I just want Awesome Android more. I think they'd want to save him for a wave with the Mad Thinker in it, though.

Ooooh, I'm 1 for 3 with Warpath. I can't wait to see how they tackle Sunspot. He's a tricky one to adapt!

😄 Yeah, that's bad! That Cable looks boss, though! Love that armor. If he never sported that look in the comics, he should!

I'm not really interested either way since I've got the Sasquatch wave version, but I would have traded one of the wildly inconsistent, sometimes-there-sometimes-not-there thigh pouches bandolier for a wildly inconsistent, sometimes-there-sometimes-not-there bicep pouches bandolier. It would have been cooler/funnier to give him one of those Liefeldian not-really-a-gun guns like he has on the cover instead of that rifle, but I guess that would be a hard accessory to recycle.

Whaa...?

*Putting on my prognosticator's robe and hat. Closing my eyes and swaying mystically side to side. The spirits are saying...Feral...Warpath...and Toad!

Didn't know they were making a Thanoscopter toy. Hilarious!

Well, not an action figure, but it was my birthday last week and my baby got me an airbrush and a compressor. I've been threatening for years now to try my hand at some customs and with the expensive stuff out of the way, I'm just about out of excuses. I hope to get my first attempt underway in the next month or so. Different kind of haul I guess, but I'm excited and needed to share. I've got a good character picked out and some ideas on how I'm going to get there. If the end result isn't too embarrassingly bad, I'll share it on this site with you guys.

Are we going to be able to watch a live stream here?

Agreed! That was certainly the case for me with Professor Hulk, Molten Man, and Thanos. Those may be fine figures, but I don't do MCU stuff so I can get who I want from the waves and ignore the rest. No surprises for my top three: Kingpin Kree Sentry (I love these deeper dives! Keep 'em coming!) Caliban My Caliban's arm was broken out of the package. That's okay though because it was the right arm and I was going to get a second Skullbuster anyway.
