Marvel Teases Judgement Day Coming In 2022
GarimusPrime replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
It's exactly the same as 2014, when Marvel pushed aside the X-Men and Fantastic Four in favor of The Inhumans and The Guardians of the Galaxy. Running around screaming "They're popular! They're popular!" won't make them popular. Same thing with Carol Danvers. When she was still Ms. Marvel in her black costume with the lightning bolt, she was one of my favorites, and I considered her a top-tier Avenger. Now, they took away her uniqueness to make her too much like Mar-Vell and a Wonder Woman knockoff. -
If I can snag a Watcher this time around, I will. I was pretty pissed that my pre-order was cancelled last time. Although, I gotta say, the What If BAF Watcher kinda scratched the itch I was having to own a Watcher figure. He's pretty cool. I think his costume is actually a better design than the classic version, and he blends in perfectly with my comic-based figures. If I can get the reissue, I will, but it's not as urgent now that I own the BAF version.

Marvel Teases Judgement Day Coming In 2022

I really hope the Eternals just go away once this event is over. Focus on characters that people actually care about. -
I'm really hoping this is gonna bring some classic Avengers back to the fold. Characters like Vision, Wanda, Clint, Bobbie, Simon, Janet, Pietro, and even Rhodey have been criminally underused as of late. Hell, maybe this book could even fix the whole 'PymTron' debacle. Hank Pym got screwed big time.

Hasbro Fan-Monday Live-Stream For February Coverage
GarimusPrime replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
This is probably the most underwhelming Iron Man armor yet. Speedball is an absolute need. Viper is meh. USAgent looks good, and he'll probably be bought upon first sighting, I just wish his costume was gray instead of black, or that he had a different costume altogether (Force Works, Maximum Security) since I already have the Epic Heroes version (one open, one mint in box). I like Thor, but not a fan of the Tiara head. I'll probably swap it out with a classic winged helmet head, so it more closely resembles the current comics. Quake/Maria Hill always looked like the same person anyway, (both very generic looking) so having both heads is appropriate, but I suppose she makes a good female SHIELD builder. Blue Marvel looks okay, I'm just not a big fan of retcon characters (Blue Marvel, Sentry, etc). And lastly, Controller. Fairly obscure character, and a disappointing repaint of Thanos. However, I'm glad that I'm not super excited about the BAF. That means I can be more selective with my wallet. -

You can actually order more than one, just gotta do separate purchases. I just ordered two, and did them as store pickup to save $ on shipping. -

Hmm. I wonder if you just might be referring to the Inhu - whoops, I meant Eternals. This is EXACTLY like a few years back, when Marvel tried to shove the Inhumans down our throats, and took their audience from simply not caring about the Inhumans to actively loathing them. Running around screaming "They're popular, they're popular!" isn't going to make people like them. -
I'm getting close to the end. ML's were $6.99 when they first hit shelves. Between price hikes and the fact that I am very much running out of space to store and/or display my toys, I don't know how much longer I can keep up with the hobby. My days of wave-collecting are finished. I'm only cherry picking the occasional figure from now on.
