Gahhh! Now I can't unsee it! Lol

I actually kinda dig this Venom offering. Yes, he's a retread that a customizer could easily make, but for me the positives are that he's based on a 90's comic (What If #44), and he does offer up the "tongue out" Venom head minus the green slime that I've seen folks on forums dislike. Plus he's through the subscription service which has always been quick easy repaints so we know not to expect too much. (And I don't mean that in a bad way either)

Haha yeah I liked the post you made with the side by side shot of Kree Sentry and DP MM. Definitely some similarities there. Regardless I certainly do hope that Hasbro can get us a classic Sentry in the future. I'll be honest though since I always prefer the classic looks to modern takes on characters.

Nice! I actually found your page a couple of weeks ago before I even knew you were the author. Keep it up!

From what I see, it's not that the Kirby design is too tough to capture, I think it has to do more with how cool an action has to look for it to sell better. The old Kirby design, while great for it's time, still looks like a "spandex costume". The contour of the character is smooth whereas the new Hasbro figure design adds depth to the design. There are ridges and texture. I definitely would love to see an old school version of the Free Sentry, but I understand why Hasbro went the way they did.

Yeah but I'm not into customizing and would prefer an official Hasbro release.

I'd love to see Hasbro start packing in multiple heads for some of the more long time female characters to reflect different hairstyles done by various artists through the years. I'm thinking of John Byrne's classic run on the FF offered tons of hairstyles for Sue. And this is just her blue and white costume!

My local Target in upstate NY restocked the new X-Men Apocalypse BAF wave and had the Killmonger/Ross & Falcon/Winter Soldier 2 packs on the shelves too. Stopped at Walgreens and saw nothing new.

I'm loving this reveal of obscure, yet needed characters! The more the merrier! I'm also thankful that Hasbro rounds out their waves with choices like this. Keep 'em coming!

Congrats to the winners! Those are both awesome waves!

Thanks for this opportunity to enter the drawing, and to do so during SDCC makes it extra exciting!

Picked up Captain Britian/Spidey Comic Pack today at Wal Mart. It's interesting that Hasbro has made nearly every costumed version of Captain Britain over the last year. I never would have expected this version either, but he looks pretty good.

Just found these at Wal Mart tonight in upstate NY. They just had one of each so I had to snag them.

Hey everybody! I haven't posted in these parts for awhile since selling off my Marvel Legends two years ago and getting rid of most of my comic collection earlier this year. However, I have found myself re-collecting some of the Marvel figures from the late nineties. Currently I'm looking for Captain America from the Marvel vs Capcom series, Adam Warlock, Super Nova, Drax the Destroyer, and Ronan the Accuser from the Silver Surfer series, Onslaught and Apocalypse from the X-Men: Onslaught series, as well as Sandman, and Red Skull from the Spider-Man Flip N Trap series. If anybody has these either MOC or loose complete PM me and hopefully we can work something out. Thanks!

Yo Twiztidtunes, these customs look great, but what I am really excited about are the Guardians of the Galaxy customs featured in your collection. The GOTG are personal faves of mine; did you do the work yourself?
