  1. What would constitute "exciting news about the LINE?" I dont go on Twitter at all, so I dont know if this is even a direct quote here, but to me that would mean more than some figure announcements or release dates. Maybe all releases will be online from now on. That'd be good and bad as we've discussed before. I hope for some accessory packs with weapons, new power effects, sunglasses (to replace the ones I keep breaking, lol), ect. But I doubt that would be an announcement level thing. Maybe they'll be doing an animal line! It seems like they've been doing more and more lately. I see a lot of collectors, including myself, asking for Lockjaw, various steeds, Redwing (who shoulda come with that new FalCap), ect. Actually, as much as I doubt my ability to call anything correctly, this would be a super cool announcement. Idk, more soft goods like cloth capes and coats?
  2. All these Sony Spiderverse live actions need to stop. Venom without Spidey is just dumb. Now this Kraven movie is gonna hold Kraven hostage from the MCU. He was supposed to be in Black Panther, which coulda been really cool. And we will never get a Kravens Last Hunt while they think he's a "billion dollar franchise". Seriously Sony needs to not make any money off these until they see how dumb they are being. Sony should just use Miles and MCU could use Peter. Then no conflicts cause they're in different universes. The eventual crossover would be awesome and make money. Instead they limit and hold back tons of characters from the MCU, like Uncle Ben, that make them do all this weird stuff to work around their limitations and weaken the overall product. And stuff like Madam Web definitely contributes to SH fatigue, and overall confusion with the genre further weakening their product.
  3. Ordered Cap, no debate. Hemmed and hawed for a minute on Prowler. Looked at pics of the old one, and decided to get this one. The colors are so much more comic accurate. Along with the way better cape and Hobie head, it swayed me. I may cancel later, still kinda debating. But I am excited for this Cap. I do wish we had another head. It's not like we knew he was an evil version the whole time. But that shield and look are really cool!
  4. It woulda been nice if they had at least fixed Zolas feet. They are really small and make him hard to stand. I just busted my old one out, and he is really loose cause I have the Red Skull in the chest varient and kept changing him back and forth. Also the color on the arms and legs has faded, so I guess a bit of justification for getting another. I can permanently put the old one to the RS look. Really wish this Zemo was a single pack or someone different in there though. But like I said before, still gonna have to get this one since Zemo is super high on my redo needs list. That last TB one is displayed but does not hold up at all.
  5. I was gonna for sure get this one, but these pics really turned me. I'm bothered by the black on his face. I get what they were trying to do, but don't think it works. The hair is pretty big as well. Think I have to see it in person.
  6. Pleasantly surprised that these pre-orders are coming out pretty close to the given release date. My Angel looks to ship out next Monday, so weeks early not several months. Assuming this will ship soon as well. Hopefully this holds. The last few years of shipping issues, and them giving crazy long pre-order release dates, only to get the item or set like 6 months to a year early. That Gorr figure had a release date of Dec. 2023, and released Dec 22. Happy to see this issue course correct. And yeah, this looks cool. Excited to get it in a few weeks here!
  7. Caps gonna be a must. On the fence about Prowler. One of my favorite deep cut Spidey characters and I love the new cape, but is that and the head enough? May end up getting him for free shipping on the cap though. Still not 100% sure.
  8. Can. Not. Wait! And bring on those repaints. I'll get em too. One of my favorite characters. I hate how unused he's been lately.
  9. There is a clip show on D+ called "Legends". It give a quick 5-12 minute recap of the important characters and where they are at in the story right now. Like an "as seen last season" at the beginning of a new one. I feel like they should advertise it more as a way to catch up and make continuity feel less like work for people who aren't out to watch everything.
  10. I really don't like this cape they've been using. That neck wrap is too thick imo. It looks odd. Otherwise this figure looks good.
  11. My main problem with the MCU Spidey figure are the "thwip" hands. They are just too small, and the fingers are curved too much.
  12. Looks really nice. Those textures are pretty incredible. Glad they didn't just leave that neck peg. Anyone else have a problem with those popping out of the body instead of the head? Happens to my Wonderman, I always feel like I'm gonna damage it with any tool I use to pull the peg out of the head to put back in the body.
  13. I'm the proud owner of a brand new hand towel for my bathroom! Old one is getting dingy. Lol.
  14. It looks damn near human, down to the slightly bloodshot from doing sciency stuff all night!
  15. I'll be very interested in the pricepoint here. The shield and wings are needed, but the realization that there is zero difference to the base figure that is so old is a bit of a problem. They should have changed the neck and face sculpt maybe a "ripped mask busted goggles" alt head or something. Doubt it'll be less than 35 though.
  16. Not saying it's dying today or tomorrow. Just seeing writing on the wall. There was a surge of all collectibles during Covid that has petered out, and things are slowing down. But we don't know how these companies will react. This line has been canceled before. Plus people are collecting Transformers, TMNT, He Man, Thundercats. And Joe's are ramping way up taking a ton of the interest. If you read comments sections of any toy site, goodwill toward Hasbro is not just on the wane, it's pretty bad. So yeah, like I said, I'm not feeling as confident about the future of the line. But it's not gone yet. If those of us that collect keep supporting it it'll be around a bit longer for sure.
  17. I have zero problem with a re-release line. Its better than a re-release in the middle of a baf set or 2 pack (like Zola). The idea of less stuff for a few less bucks to entice new buyers is a good one though. They should really think about attracting new collectors, and MCU is the most probable mine to dig.
  18. The truth of what JayC is saying and the amount of people chiming in with their feeling of "being done" with this line worries me. This is the only line I collect. I do because it has 80 yrs of history with plenty of nostalgia for me, but it is also a living breathing figure line. MCU and the comics are constantly adding to it. I have my gripes with managment of the line and execution of some comics, movies,and figures. But I am a fan. The 25 dollar price point pissed me off and led to many quitting, but even more of us to wait for sales. Which yeah, I have been doing more, as I am not swimmin in money. But seeing the deep sales (7-10 bucks at Target and Ollie's ect) is eye opening and as much as I love a deal, is not good for the line. I hope Legends stick around, but it is feeling bleaker than last year. Personally, I'm gonna pre-order if I want it and not hold out as much as I was. (Not to say im.gonna get stuff I do not want or don't like at all) Not telling anyone else what to do, but if we want the line around for that "must have" we love to list, we have to vote with our money. And maybe that makes me a shill or rube. And maybe there just aren't enough of us to do that. It still blows my mind that we barely scraped by with Giant Man. It confuses me that the Cho'od and Skullbuster waves can be found online for cheap af. Skullbuster was one of the coolest bafs we ever got imo. Yeah I get, "this face wasn't yelling" or "he's too tall", and I'm not even saying these are illegitimate complaints. Just overall seeing what I, and probably the team, thought were sureshots on deep discount is disheartening. And they seem a bit beaten down on their livestreams compared to a few yrs ago. The last three waves have been awesome for me. We finished two teams with that Void wave! But here's fingers crossed this line lives so I can make every Avengers team, which was my initial want 20 yrs ago, LOL, not sure im gonna get there.
