These really do look very nice. Splitting them up so that each pack has one of each was a solid move as well. I hope there are still plenty left for everyone at 2:00. I also hope they don't do something dumb like limit the number of army-builders you can order to 2. Think I want to get four, myself, but I'll see what the price tag says.

Guess I'll get it a year from now when Amazon slashes the prices to a reasonable amount like they always do on the 5 packs. I bought the Wolverine one last July at $70. I bought the Spider-Man one 2 days ago when it went down to $76, but now it's down to $67 today. I should have waited a little longer.
I just got it at $67 and I feel like I should have waited for under the $60 mark. Oh well... Also, It was on my front porch 18 hours after I ordered. I think they're in a big hurry to get rid of them, lol.

I gotta wonder who designed MJ's outfit for this series.Â
I don't know the answer to that, but I came across something a few months ago that I thought was really cool: this page from Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1, #168:

I strongly suspect her outfit was heavily influenced by this issue. Who knew MJ had a tucking-her-purple-jeans-into-cowbow-boots phase in actual continuity?

$70! 😬
They have lost their minds. I had this in my calendar with Pulse pulled up and ready to go. But no.

Oh, it's definitely the puffy lips. I noticed that a while ago since I was really looking forward to this character. Being a bad guy who moves earth, at least a scowl would have been preferable. But instead he looks like he put too much lipstick on before kissing Rogue.
Maybe he was drawn by Frank Quitely.

I'm disappointed that Wolverine's colours don't quite match. Looks like he got the "deluxe" belt too, with molded X instead of a printed one like the rest of the team.
Minor quibbles, I know, but when trying to make a unified look...
I'm pretty sure the colors will match. JayC just grabbed pictures from different sources for his collages above. But when Dan pulls out the in-package Wolverine and holds him up, it looks good to me.

I said it before, this one should have an option to get a three pack.
I think army-builder is the way to go. Which army-builder that they've offered so far hasn't sold out in minutes? I reckon they'd clean up if they revisited the X-Factor uniform in that format.

which holds 6 figures inside.
Looks like it seats 8. Isn't that Cyclops and Storm up in the cockpit?

also i'm sure some x-fans will be up in arms about potentially having to shell out for this haslab to get this character.
Yep, I'll do it. I'm an X-Men fan first and foremost and I was really pissed when they hinted at Goblin Queen being a tier for this HasLab because I think it's way overpriced and also not that interesting to me personally.
But now that I've seen her, they can keep her! She looks terrible. The costume edit is definitely number one gripe with a bullet. It's so mind-boggling to me they felt compelled to do that when this product is such a limited release and so cost-prohibitive that it's all-but exclusive to adult collectors. But there's so much more going on here. Or not going on, rather. They really couldn't be bothered to sculpt the boot tops!? Really? That's what $350 gets you? It's admittedly impossible to tell in a render, but hat cape looks more likely then not to be a nightmare hunk of plastic on par with Medusa's hair. And the accessories: no little goblin servant(s)? No telekinesis effects. No alternate head with her eyes showing? NO BABY NATHAN!? No, she has to come with her signature...random skull. As a non-backing X-fan, this is much more of a relief than it is disappointing.
If anything, these never-available-again lackluster figure tiers just let me know who I can safely add to my list of customs to work on.

I got an email with a link for premium members, but there's nothing anywhere. Am I missing something or is something broken?

Guess it was Dark Phoenix, not Goblyn Queen. Effing Spiral!! Finally!!
I don't know if you saw or not, but they teased her as the second HasLab tier. 😡

On 9/30/2022 at 5:38 AM, JayC said:The figure seems to be packaged in the windowless style box with a retro feel to it. This would seemingly contradict what Hasbro had previously said about not getting rid of the plastic on their retro style packed figures.
If this is for reals, I would guess - based on the relative size of the packages, the inclusion of the Proton Cannon, and Hasbro's loose interpretation of the term - that this would qualify as a "deluxe" figure. It may be that what we're looking at isn't the standard retro card, but a deluxe figure version of it.  So they can technically stick to what they said and and keep the plastic in the standard retro releases. ...and, y'know, jack up the price another notch on this bad boy.

And a bizarre red circle for a face. Yeah, if everything else comes together, I'm going to have to get a second Controller.

Dude, I'm chasing that same Secret Wars dream as you. I'm with you on the outfits, too, and you know who I bet it all comes down to in the end? Wasp. Wasp in that green & purple getup. Mark my words, when we get Volcana and Molecule Man and all the rest, she's going to be that one piece of unfinished business.
The other complete set I've been dreaming of completing one day is the complete cast of the Captain America and the Avengers arcade game. Just for the obvious reason: that it is the single greatest video game in history. Giant Mechanical Taco is gonna be a #$##.

Yeah that above weapon is Robbie's, I'm going to be really annoyed if Dan Ketch ghost rider has anything to do with this, being a tier or whatever, or Mephisto, I don't want to back a Has Lab I don't want just to get figures we should have had released through regular channels, if It's just a Robbie Reyes Car and him, and whatever else...that's fine I don't care, but if they start giving out....awesome tiers I'm gonna flip.
Same. No interest in Robbie or the Hell Charger really. But I do very much want Danny. I hope they don't get tied up together.

Got my Lizard after a mild panic.. my card on file needed updated but was able to do that and get the figure. Whew
Lol, Walmart loaded the last shipping address I used. I was one second away from having him shipped to my 3-year-old niece in another state before I realized what I was doing.

Yeah this person's figure is certainly looking way better, so that's good news, buttt which one is going to be the one we see the most of, the icky colors or the okay color?
Yeah, I can definitely live with this version. Much improved. Curious to see how this shakes out.

I love that lighter blue. I wish they'd do a comic Spidey with it.

I was ready to blow this off as as a close enough, it won’t bother , the next in a long line of figures that Hasbro doesn’t quite get right.
then.. that comparison pic.. such a let down!! I honestly can’t believe the difference,..will be canceling my order if these prove to be the norm
I'm really hoping this is not indicative of the final release. Those promo pics are a seriously nice-looking figure. But the silence from Hasbro is deafening. I'm sure marketing is seeing the scuttlebutt. I feel like if they had something to say that would allay fears (and order cancellations) they would say it.

what's the worst and feels the worst about it is, 1 windowless box and 2 how much they are charging for a figure that doesn't have any reason to be so expensive in the first place
Yeah, I couldn't even come close to justifying $34. I only preordered him when he was $23 during that Target sale a few days ago. I was able to switch several Pulse preorders to Target so saved some bucks and get free shipping.
On 7/19/2022 at 3:11 PM, monron999 said:They are essentially different forms of the same plastic so the fact that they don't hold color the same makes sense, but this looks like two totally different colors.
Yeah, that's clearly the reason but I've seen some people throw it out there like I'm just supposed to say, "Oh, sorry. I had no idea. Carry on, then." No, to Hasbro and the apologists I would respond:

I'm in the same boat with my Black Widows. I pre-ordered two as soon as POs opened and I feel like everyone in the world has gotten theirs except for me. Anybody else in back order limbo with their Black Widows?
