Hasbro's Marvel figures

JJ, why didn't you say something sooner? I'm finding them pretty regularly. If you want, I'll hook ya up.

I'd recommend getting the whole series. The Sentinel kicks mega ass.

Also, Doggy Dogg, are you going after any of the red Shocktroopers or green Clone Commanders, or are they actually carrying the cool variants in Canada for a change?

You know, oddly we have recently found ALL the variants - except for the Palps blue saber which I don't care about. Only in the last month have they been showing up, but we've had Dark Wookie, Blue Guard, Green Cmdr, Shocktrooper, Black Pilot and Sith Eyes Anakin. I'm shocked as shit - even the blue Vulture droid showed up finally!!!

The ML will be restocked here for sure - and my comic shop had lots at only a couple of dollars over retail (and they have the Legendary Riders wave in as well!!!!).

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll be okay on this one. There is a chance you'll hear me crying about the last 12 ROTS figures though..... if any of those are plentiful for you, I'd take your help there for sure.

I found a lone Arfour on the pegs yesterday, so te final five have begun to hit. And I found the first few a week ago. The middle ones (Argente, Cat Min, and the holo Jedi) are still MIA, though.

Interesting (about the ROTS already hitting - I'd read that on the other site as well as on the Canadian site - one guy has moved to Dallas and has found all 12).

I managed to get all the ML today except for Angel, who was sold out. Is he one per case??? Fortunately or unfortunately, my Cyke is the X-Factor version. He's fine, but I'll have to get the classic Byrne version when I get the chance. I might even leave Powder Blue in the pkg so I can return him if I find the other one.

As per last time, if anyone wants the variant - let me know. Cost plus shipping to you fine gents (and KH).

I just got my case in the mail. i ordered a case because I was erroneouosly led to believe there was enough to build TWO Sentinels in the case. Instead I have three torsos and only one left leg because Mr Sinister and Mystique were the short packs and she comes with the same torso as both the Omega Reds. Suck balls. So now I need to find another Sinister. Why couldn't they have made Spidey the other short pack/redundant body part? I mean Spidey has his own fucking toyline so there's not exactly a great clamor for a ML of him anyway. hanging on the twenty pegs next him are Water-Park Spidey, Hamburger Flipping Spidey, Balloon Animal Spidey and Eating Bad Shrimp Spidey. And every other Spidey Variant those hacks can turn oou instead of concentrating on making cool classic Spidey villains like Shocker and Prowler. At least I can return one of the Omega Reds now.

I also want the Variant Cyke and Angel so when I take out their sentinel parts I have a new figure (sorta). Leaving me with Sinister, Black Panther, and two Spider-Mans (to go with my other four; Original Classic Spidey, Black Spidey, Sinister Six Box Set Spidey, and McFarlane Spidey).

Do you want me to save the X-Factor Cyke for you, EP? I was going to go trade him in on a Byrne one I found - but I'll hold off until you say go.

The shipping might be a little heavy down to the US for a figure of that size - I'd estimate around $8 US - ridiculous for one fig.... but I'll still hold him for you just in case.

I found both variants the day after I got my complete set, so I'm good. I actually think the X-Factor Cyclops looks better.

I understand the next wave is already hitting shelves. When Hasbro gives us a break, ToyBiz swoops in to abuse us.

Lucky for me, I don't want anything from MLXI. I saw them at the comic store. 1st app Thing is ugly (well, he was ugly in the comic too so I guess that doesn't make him a bad figure), Logan and Wonderman are boring, I hate Ghost Rider so I ain't getting him - and they cancelled Scarlet Witch. The only one I haven't seen in person is Tasky, and I don't really have any affinity for that character whatsoever. I'm off the hook.

It's Vengeance, not GR, right?

And is it just me, or does 1st Appearance Thing look <b>nothing</b> like Thing in his first appearance? He's supposed to look more. . . molten.

jjreason · Post by **jjreason** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 11:33 pm

It could be Vengeance - I honestly wouldn't know the difference. It was oddly coloured, that's about all I remember. Apparently the Scarlet Witch isn't coming - she was cancelled due to poor quality or something, if you see one anywhere she's worth a bundle supposedly.

yeah, he has like a purple head, I think it's some "carnage" version on GR...
I saw the Taskmaster here, too, it is actually a pretty cool figure, tho Arnim Zola would be a better villain IMO

I've now seen every figure from MLXI, and am still holding off. As if fucking WonderMan doesn't come with red sunglasses.... if Simon Williams isn't gay - the lack of sunglasses most certainly is.

ML 11 and 12 are both supposedly hitting. I say supposedly, because the stores near me still have a crapload of Professor Xaviers and Doctor Stupids on the shelves. I did see two 1st Appearance Thing over the weekend, and he became my first easy ML pass. (I may get him later if he's on clearance, though.)

A friend of mine found me a Vengeance. I've actually been looking forward to him. He's like Omega Red or any of a number of other 1990s character: really stupid character, but a really bitching design.

I don't care too much about any of the variants in the next wave, save the red Iron Fist. Like Phoenix and Dark Phoenix, these are two different characters (the red version is a plant clone (don't ask) that took over in the final days of the Power Man & Iron Fist comic before it turned evil and Power Man was forced to kill it, thinking it was really Danny). If you can't tell by the parenthetical aside in my last sentence, I'm a big Iron Fist fan.

I love Wolvie and Bishop, too, but Bishop always looked retarded in anything but the long Ice-T hair, and yet another unmasked Wolvie isn't doing much for me.

Little Timmy wants his father to get off the computer and buy him a Spider-Man figure. He really wants to play Spidey with his daddy.
