Hasbro's Marvel figures

Are these all confirmed? Shizzy!!

Can't wait for Beta Ray Bill, Iron Fist, and Power Man!!

Why Spider-Woman and Blackheart, though. They're no legends.

Yeah, I've got reservations about a good number of those. Since my first recorded venture into the Marvel Universe was Uncanny X-Men 140, featuring a big time throw down between the X-Men, Alpha Flight and Wendigo - I'm looking forward to Wendy! Beta Ray Bill, Power Man and Iron Fist, Loki, Blob, Annihilus and Super Skrull are all no-brainers for me, as would Classic Mar-Vell be if I were to find one.

Where ya been anarky? Spider-Woman is the total shizz thanks to her resurfacing in Bendis' New Avengers!

Blackheart is the villain in the new Ghost Rider movie, so that might explain that one.

I myself was having reservations about Longshot and Man Wolf. There's about 5000 X-Characters I'd like to see before that bi-curious freakshow. Where the hell is Havok? And Man-Wolf? WTF?

Sasquatch gives me hope we'll see an Alpha Flight box set down the road. Maybe even Box will show up!!

They already did Spidey 2099 in the Spidey Classics line. He was a KB exclusive.

Okay, I'm not being tongue-in-cheek this time. Why the fuck do we get losers like Cable and Man-Wolf, and no Jubilee? With the disturbing love for Wolvie in this line, it would make sense to release his friggin' sidekick.

Wouldn't you fucking know it, but right during the middle of the biggest 2 week period for money spent on toys I've ever been involved in (it's getting stupid now, by the way, I must be getting up near $400 by the time my WM layaway is picked up), ML 9 had to show up at my TRU. Only 4 of the figures were left, someone beat me to Prof X, Dr. Strange, and Deathlok - still, I don't need the pressure of buying up the other 4 figures immediately. They sell out so damned fast I'll miss out if I hum and ha for any length of time though. The new Hulk looks WICKED, and I was very impressed with War Machine, Bullseye and Kurt. Why they couldn't wait for a couple of weeks though is beyond me, we just got wave 8 like a month and a half ago. Fuck sakes.

The best thing: Deathlok is, despite the bio and the picture on the back, not the shitty Deathlok from the future, but the second, cooler Deathlok!!

Well I managed to get Hulk, Kurt and Bullseye via Amex. My bill is going to be absurd.... hopefully the charges will have been split into 2 billing periods so that I'm not completely hung out to dry for the next 6 weeks!

I'm pretty impressed with these, to say the least. Galactus (the parts I have anyhow) are wicked, I can't wait to get him put together! Do you guys have him completed? Comments?

I found this (almost) entire series (including chase figures, for once!), but haven't assembled Galactus yet. I'm waiting to move into my new house (in July sometime) to open most stuff (though I've succombed the temptation of many ROTS figures). I also want to try to get a gray Hulk instead of opening the green one. For a dedicated 1st appearance Hulk figure, green's just, well, wrong.

jjreason · Post by **jjreason** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 10:07 pm

I concur. The grey one is very cool - I absolutelky love the face sculpt. Toss in a copy of Hulk #1 AND a big ol' hunk of Galactus and this thing is a big wiener.

I swear I saw the grey hulk at our local TRU, I guess he looks okay
I would love a Galactus but seeing as how I have only Man Thing from the entire rest of the series and could care less about the figs in this wave/collection anyways, I guess I'm outta luck

jjreason · Post by **jjreason** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 12:05 am

The only one I wouldn't buy outright in this run is Deathlok. Since that's the case - and since I don't have to buy the variants to get a full Galactus - I'm willing to shell out the extra $15.

Man-Thing, eh Mabs? You finally got that 8" Man Thing you'd been dreaming about since last year!!!

Don't forget the new FF box set that just came out. Only the four figures: Thing with trenchcoat, variant transforming Johnny, and Reed and Sue in their Heroes Reborn outfits ( same face sculpts from the previous box set).

And you gotta toss in all the Spider-Man Classic/ Spider-Man figures.

They need to release generic Skrulls, Kree, Hydra agents, AIM agents, SHIELD agents, Guardsmen, etc.

Thanks, EP. Some of that Spider-Man line (okay, just the Spidey figs) blow goats though. I have purchased a few for my set (Rhino, Lizard, Ditko Spidey, Hobgoblin, Manga Green Gobline, first DD) for my collection, but for the most part only bad guys make the grade. I would however, like to get that black Spidey that was released back in the beginning.

My TRU got a 2nd case of this assortment in, much to my (pleased) surprise. I picked up Dr. Strange and Prof. X this morning. They did have Deathlok and War Machine there as well, but I opted for Palpatine #35 and Exploding Grievous instead.

Wow, I'm pretty impressed with my new SANDMAN figure! I love the grainy texture and the interchangeable hands. Amazingly, I've seen 3 of these in the past week!
