Not really a fan of him, but the Spiderman Series 'Ultimate Lizard' is a fantastic figure. Decided to buy him to feed the hunger and really glad I did. Bought Morpheus too and one of his arms snapped off. (just noticed his ankle looks broken)
He's fine, just looks funny in the pic hehe Picked up these little brats today Iron Lad could use some more poseability.
For such a neat character, and one that LENDS HIMSELF TO TONS OF ARTICULATION, they really dropped the ball on that one. Really dropped the ball. He's robotic looking! That's like the GATEWAY to be free with your articulation. Whatever. I'm still trying to figure out what toy they lifted the legs from that would keep it from having frigging thigh joints. I like to keep my Asgardian and Hulking figures very close...
The only one in the YA set that interests me is Patriot heh, if i ever see it on clearance i'll prolly pick it up, IMHO the Monsters set is where its at.
I agree. I have no interest in the YA set because i have no idea who the hell they are other than sidekicks.. At least with the monsters set you can have Spidey Vs. Zombie and such.. Now they need to make a second Monsters set with: Creature from Black Lagoon Mummy Invisible Man and one other classic monster
They aren't sidekicks. As for the Monsters set. Meh. I saw them, I had no use for them. Dunno why Toybiz even wasted the money making them. There's a shelf full of them at Walmart (the only remnants of the "walmart wave". Doubt they'll be selling anytime soon. The YA set on the other hand, I'm glad I got mine. Haven't seen a set since.
Read the comics, they're worth it, especially since the 'They're more then you think!' tagline has never been so true.
Could'nt get into the Monster set either. Don't even know why there's a Marvel 4pack of them in the 1st place. That what I get for not reading up on them I guess. Or just sick of Dracula and werewolfs. I did buy a Morbeus, Howling Wolf, Grey HULK and Deadpool though hehe Those Wave3 Deadpools have preorders saying they're shipping in October. Damn that seems too long.
The Monsters do have a rich history but I rather TB put up an Inhumans boxset! At least with the Inhumans, we will be having most of the Marvel Universe "big guns"!
I love how ToyBiz is capitalizing on "now" trends. Instead of doing figures everyone would want, they keep putting out "so so" figures. I mean, how many people would ove an Inhumans set or some T-Botls figures. No. Instead we get the House of M, the Sinister 6 (whom have all been released under classics except Black Cat), another FF set... I do like the YA set so I will let that slide. The monsters hve their place I guess but it still has me scratching my head.
Yeah, I know what you mean and so far Toy Biz is doing a great job in terms of the amount of toys we are getting! But I believe many of us want to see some of our faves who have not been made in plastic yet is because of the fear that Hasbro may discontinue the ML line or change it to be more kiddish - know what I mean? Let's not forget, Hasbro has not announced its plans or intentions with the ML line. I believe ML sales for this year will be one of the key yardsticks.
It's like Toybiz is either doing their own favorites, or really have to get in deep to get the rights for certain characters. Some Id like to see or reproduced , or atleast super articulated Super Articulated Kingpin (for throwing heroes) Night Thrasher Savage Dragon Cannonball Starhawk Nova Feral Maelstrom Shiva Moses Magnum Crossbones Fin Fang Foom Splice Deathwatch Zodiak Silvermane Sauron Nebula Kang Darkhawk (and Evilhawk) Drax Kree In-Between Stranger Epoch( as an extra piece I guess, maybe with Ego) Basilisk!!! Deaths Head2 Celestial pack Mandarin (and all his frikn rings) Strong Guy Lady Deathstrike Doc Samson Ravage 2099 and Loki Yeah , bring em on!
CM, more than half those guys will never be made. Hell, I barely know who some are, kids definately won't. But they need to make characters like Kang, Darkhawk, and Doc Samson. They have a Loki and Mandarin coming out. And Savage Dragon isn't a Marvel character. I want to se Medusa, Black Bolt, Crystal, and Gorgon from the inhumans. Also the entire t-bolts lineup, or at least a Mach 1 because he does look like a robot so the Iron Man idea applies here. It just boggles my mind that we get Mojo but no Atlas, 2 Thors before we get a Beta Ray Bill, 2 Caps before a Baron Zemo, and 3 Things before a Black Bolt. Oh and my latest gripe. The new stands suck. The tips keep bending. My Angel now flies at a 45 degree angle because the tip of his backstand warped so much.
Wow! That is indeed quite a niffy line-up! i would utterly crap in my pants should TB or Hasbro produce the above. Wreakgar is right though...some of those in your list won't be seeing the light of day but some will. E.g. the Mandarin will be in series 2 of "Face-off"!
got a wish list going for the next group of stuff that I'd like to see: ML 16: Jean Grey(jim lee ver.) Quicksilver Modern Taskmaster Crossbones Nova Siryn Cannonball Multiple Man Domino Boxsets: Astonishing X-Men(beast, emma, scott, ord, danger) House of Magnus Alpha Flight New Warriors Face Off: Cable v Stryfe Xavier(Shi'ar armor) v. Magneto Deadpool v. Agent X Black Tom v. Banshee
Here are some of mine. X-Men: Jubilee The Blob Avalanche Forge Jean Grey (non Pheonix) Thunderbird Sunfire Cannonball Sauron Quicksilver Xavier with hoverchair Banshee Box set of the Original X-men first Appearance Spiderman: Tombstone A good looking morbius I'll think of more later
