  1. I would get so stoked for this I can't tell ya'. Classic Dr. Doom, armored Mandarin, classic Boomerang, The Wizard, Red Skull in his SS-ish uniform, and Lady Mandarin would be my preferred lineup. That's a lot of popular classic characters to make a con exclusive, though. Those guys mostly need mainstream releases. I'd be psyched over a Starjammers set as well (and do hereby cast my vote for the Cockrum Hepzibah). If they end up showing something I'm not interested in I'm going to be more relieved than disappointed though, truth be told.
  2. Thanks! Yeah, I get that it's always a guessing game to some extent. Still, better brace for impact!
  3. I noticed that and was going to ask: is that a pretty reliable thing? I just need to batten down the financial hatches if all three of those are really going to drop on the same day.
  4. I used to play the waiting game and still do in some instances, but I've taken to pre-ordering this year for the first time. I'm curious: what stresses you out about it? I'm finding it much less stressful on the whole.
  5. Only just so very many: Egghead With pet ant-eater, natch! Equinox, the Thermodynamic Man I love that "man" is the only part of his supervillain name that comes close to accurately describing him. Ridiculous name, ridiculous character, butt-ugly design...I must have him! Golden Age Vision Lots of Golden Agers, actually, but I just love everything about this guy - powers, origin, look...just all of it! Griffin I expect a BAF would be the route to take for this big boy. The High Evolutionary Is he obscure? I read a completely unverifiable rumor somewhere that he may be a character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Who knows? We may see him yet! Mandrill Because he's a baboon in a puffy pirate shirt with a cape and I fucking need him! Mesmero I love the visual for this guy. Classic look only, please! His newer look is just so bland, bland, bland. It looks like someone intentionally tried to do the most boring version on Brainiac that they could muster. Mister Fish I feel like the argument on behalf of this guy is pretty self-evident. Rampage Manoman did The Champions ever suck! Even so, there's no way this guy should have been able to give them the headache that he did. I was rooting for him the entire time. Skids Because I was totally hot for her as a younger man. Glad that's over! ...yep...completely over... The Stranger You knew #$## was going down whenever this guy showed up in the 60s and 70s. Sugar Man Again, I'm not sure if he fits the "obscure" criteria for everyone, but damn was he genuinely terrifying in Generation Next! Zarrko, the Tomorrow Man Because he's got one of the best names in all of comicdom.
  6. Really digging Storm and Silver Samurai even more after the glamour pics. I've got the whole wave pre-ordered.
  7. Manoman do those look pretty! This is the Hulk I've been daydreaming about forever. Would love an alternate screaming head for him. He in particular is going to get a lot of shelf time! I'm already scheming to pose that Colossus so that he's literally ripping the helmet off of Juggernaut. He's got the hands for it!
  8. Really like the head sculpt. Really don't like the rest of him. I've been waiting for a good classic comic Loki for almost 20 years now. Pretty disappointed with this release. ☹️
  9. I always wondered if the guy in the blue cap with the blonde beard was supposed to be Claremont in the original piece. Whether it was supposed to be or no, looks like Alex Ross decided it was Dave Cockrum. Unless it was supposed to be Cockrum all along in which case, no disrespect, but I have to say that Ross does a better Cockrum than Cockrum. ...I've just said "Cockrum" to myself too many times in my head and now it sounds really weird.
  10. Great question. I think I'd end up going with: Psylocke: Her armored uniform or her original pink uniform would be fine. I'd take either. Though, if they went with the original pink, I'd want a curvier and prettier version of her telepathy "butterfly" effect. The one they have is awesome for the figure it came with, but not for non-ninja British Betsy. I'd also take a Lady Mandarin armor version as well! Iceman: Iced-down and wearing his Gold-Team uniform. I never did get my hands on the old Toybiz version and I'm sure there'd be a frenzy for it among collectors who, like me, would buy it up just to try and heal that old hurt. Banshee: I'd be thrilled with either his blue and yellow uniform or his green and yellow. Interchangeable screaming and non-screaming heads are an absolute must! Also, if they did him in green and yellow, I'd like a third head with his Factor Three helmet, please. White Queen: Emma Frost in her Hellfire Club getup. Hasbro would be able to get plenty additional mileage out of a newly sculpted torso what with Selene, Tessa, Black Queen/Phoenix, etc. Jean Grey: Red and yellow X-Factor duds, please! Toad: New sculpt. I can't decide which color scheme I would most want them to go with: yellow & purple, green & orange, or his original grey & orange. I think I'd most probably prefer the latter.
  11. Yes! One regular and one where she's doing her hound thing and has the black stripes on her face, I assume? Nyuk nyuk. I think he'd end up being a little tall for me if they went this route. I'd rather have them do what it takes to an all new sculpt.
  12. Lol, looks like it's coming out of his neck on the MCP #19 cover. Liefeld, man...what're you gonna do?
  13. I mean, I wish they were removable and/or he had a head without them as well, but c'mon... That's just silly.
  14. Very cool stuff! This is one of my favorite things in a year near-to-bursting with cool stuff. I'm a little uneasy that they don't show the rifle (looks like a Thompson?) out of its holster. It does come out, right!? Could have done with an alternate head as well. I would have done two heads: one masked and one unmasked, and a removable helmet to fit on either, but other than that he's damn near perfect! This one's getting a pre-order.
  15. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to print your own money like that.
  16. Can we count that Puck? I'm sure there are people on this planet who managed to put him together, but I've never met one. He's my favorite Alphan, too. Re-release that boy!
  17. Got my pre-order in at Pulse as well. 63.59 after tax for me. Dunno what's up with that. I mean, I'm definitely more psyched for the Hulk, but that Wolverine looks pretty great, too! He's certainly good enough to knock the old Toybiz Face-Off version out of his slot in the display rotation. What's the deal, is everyone just sick of Wolverine figs? I'm not there myself just yet, but I could certainly understand. Every time I see a new Deadpool or MCU Iron Man thing I just roll my eyes and thank Hasbro for the wallet rest.
  18. I don't have anything to add to this. I just wanted to quote you out of context. I'd be equally thrilled with either version of Storm or Iceman! My money's on the "Jim Lee" versions, though. And Tarot, in seriousness, I do agree with your sentiment. I'd love to see some nice versions of the original team! That box set from a few years ago did nothing for me.
  19. The only thing that kept me from voting for Dragon Man is my apprehension that Hasbro just doesn't have it in them to make him big enough, even as a BAF. I'd much rather they do a standalone release like with the recent DoFP Sentinel. One of those guys a year would be great. I've got a long list of figures who would just get shortchanged (heh) as a BAF: The Stranger, Ultimo, Atlas, Giganto, Fin Fang Foom, The Living Monolith, The Living Tribunal, certain Spider-Slayers, Terminus, Yellowjacket, Wasp, Titan, Shuma-Gorath, Fafnir, and Goliath (Clint Barton). Still plenty of BAFs to do at a bigger, if not 16-18 inches tall size: Uatu, Awesome Android (with hat, tie, and briefcase), Mark I Sentinels, certain other Spider-Slayers, Nimrod, Mangog, Dreadnoghts, Stegron, MODAM, The Super Adaptoid, Proteus, The Supreme Intelligence, etc.
  20. LOL, I had to watch it a second time to make sure the soldiers actually turn their guns on the helicopter instead of the person who is clearly controlling the helicopter.
  21. I wish the spider on his back was red. I think that any additional white on a Spider-Man uniform dillutes the impact of the eyes.
