  1. I'm really torn on that Shriek figure. Her hair looks weird to me the way the bangs look sort of slapped on but if i can ever get a hold of a Carnage and Demogoblin figure and they do a proper blue Venom with a non-inflated head and a Doppelganger based around the new Spidey buck, she would be a must. Hard decision considering how many other criteria I need for a Maximum Carnage crew.

    But I did exactly that in the SEVERAL examples I just gave. Can't understand why you think the inclusion of wings cancels out any other accessory; the Vulture, who came with wings, also came with two accessories (different heads) . Even Toybiz was able to supply a Redwing with the Falcon. 

    Hope you know I'm not being argumentative but my logic is coming from just what I see in terms of how much plastic Hasbro is willing to use vs their cost. I know Vulture came with some extras but that doesn't always happen for every figure. How many times have we all been on here complaining about a lack of accessories for this or that piece? For instance, my favorite 3 figures from Legends are the Alex Ross Cap, Iron Man and Thor. Iron Man came with 4 blast effects, 2 fists, 2 blasting hands and 2 extra heads. Cap had a shield, 2 fists, 2 O-hands and a throwing effect hand. Thor had Mjolnir and an extra fist. What? Did his cape count as an accessory? It's a dice roll on every figure. Bottom line: I just don't see Hasbro willing to spend the money on a Redwing mold as well as the extra paint. Granted, they would likely just mold it in brown and not paint him. Between the wings and extra hands that to me is probably as far as Hasbro will go on a character like the Falcon. Hopefully I eat my words.

    Oh I don't see any evidence for that. Shang-Chi came with 2 nunchuks and what, 4 sets of hands??  Way back, Chameleon had 3 weapons, 3 different heads. Dr. Strange is going to have effects, an axe, a wand and hands. Katy had a bow & arrow, a quiver, hands and a di jang creature. No good reason not to have Redwing.

    I just don't see Hasbro being that "giving" if you will. I'd be happy to be proved wrong but as much plastic as we get between the figure and the wings I just don't see it happening.

  4. Both of these are pretty lazy releases since Falcon is a slightly different paint app and Loki includes knives and a new head. I'll get the Falcon because he's one of my favorite characters but I have the original Loki and definitely don't need this one.

    I'll wait till they finally do his most iconic & classic version along with Redwing.

    That would be considered and accessory and since he already comes with wings, no way we can have Redwing since it would hurt Hasbro's profit margin. Lord knows we can't have that.

    They did say classic Falcon is coming, so that's great news. I do think he should be on a bigger mold, but I love the articulation on the current version. Falc needs a new head too, he looks like almost bored here! But for his classic look it would be great if they'd use his "hawk hook" gauntlet (Mysterio's gloves would be almost perfect) and give us an articulated Red Wing!

    That's a great idea for the hook and mysterios gauntlet is shaped exactly right. I still plan to get this one and any classic versions. I've been waiting years for good Falcon figures. We need a new wwii Bucky and a better Sharon carter and I can die happy.

  6. A few things here I like. I might grab that shield pack but most of the weapons suck so I'll put some neca weapons with them like I did my Sharon Carter. Think I'll get 3 skrulls to sort of represent the first 3 that became cows in FF. That Spidey wave is garbage but I'll probably grab armadillo on ebay someday. I would be a little interested in shriek but her head looks like glued on hair. Not feeling it at all. Eternals still look like a waste of plastic.

    For anyone wondering about what horraaahs we can expect once Hasbro begins to install it's minimal plastics packaging initiative, here's a little peak into the future. 

    Locating your favorite toy line: level moderate

    Locating figures you actually want: level hard

    Locating figures you want in complete condition: level expert

    I figured the new packaging would be something more like what they use for their army builders on Hasbro Pulse.

    Totally underwhelming reveals.  Hasbro refuses to make a scale accurate Perez or Byrne Thing & Sue's face sculpt is atrocious. I'll wait on a sale to get the Torch. Porn fingers Reed is a joke. Couldn't repaint the stretched arms from the Walgreens version? Was never a fan of the 2 villains in the wave, so huge pass. X-Force has also never been a must have team for me either. Rictor looks like a member of the Lost Boys.  The last 2 reveals , to tell the truth, have been lackluster. Just Herc, Tigra, Quasar & Sandman on my list for the rest of the year.

    I'm on the exact same boat as you. I was really hoping for a good classic Thing but the headsculpts are bad, Sue would have been a must but she looks awful. Reed is known mainly for stretching his neck, torso and arms and we get long fingers? Flame on Torch looks good but he looked good before too and Johnny looks ok but I'd never display him flamed off. Oh well.

    I don't see that the pandemic has anything to do with it but I certainly agree that the Invisible Woman has a bad head sculpt....and its like, why? Why?? Why not use the same one as before? The first walgreens and the Skrull BAF wave are the same, they just modified the hair a bit. If they wanted to yet again change the hair, they could have easily done so without giving her an entirely different (and awful) new head. 

    And as anyone who's read my previous posts, as much as I've bashed their choices for female body molds, I've been praising their work on the female heads. Such progress! So WTF happened here??

    I don't get it either. We're fresh on the heels of the recent She-Hulk which had the alternate relaxed expression which is one of the prettiest faces on a Legend ever. I just don't get it.

  9. What a #$## reveal. Invisible Woman has one of the worst head sculpts I've seen in years. Thing isn't much better. Firey Torch is ok but aside from a few stripes he's basically the same as before and his flame off version is decent. Mr Fantastic looks good but he isn't good enough to replace my walgreens version. High evolutionary and Psycho Man are the best in the lot as they look great.  Overall what a waste of a marvel special. Hasbro is getting lazy imo and just tossing out whatever they can at this point in the pandemic. Thankfully, I see nothing here worth spending money on
