    I think Apocalypses torso clips together differently to Galactus and the Sentinel. I don't actually have the parts myself, but from what I've seen it looks fairly one-way.

    You can always repaint the parts to match rest of the figure. BTW anyone know if you can tell what color those apocalypse parts are before you remove them from package?

    Yup, you can. The pieces can be clearly seen and not hidden from the package.

    I actually had a problem with my sentinel and they sent a replacement leg but the first leg was already in. Then I talked to one of the guys there and they told me the BAF pieces are in once they are snapped in.

    But maybe with enough force and a dash of luck, you may get it out.

    The limbs are actually pretty easy to get out, just pull a bit (also noticed that the arms don't stay in their sockets very well either :(  ) it's just the torso that's giving me grief.

    Toybiz's email service sucks. I'm going to try and call tomorrow and see if talking to a live person will result in any better results.

    Can you guys give me the URLs to the TNI and Fwoosh sites? I THINK I know TNI's but not for sure :)

    Hi there


    Just wondering whats up with teh marvel legends Spider-woman figure... all the pictures i've seen from toy fair and such show her with what looks like no articulation at all? Will she have? Am I Blind? is it normal for the ones at conventions to show up with no articulation?


    P.s. anyone know any marvel legends fan sites with good galleries?

    Hmmm, I've been way behind the scene with regards to upcoming releases of Marvel Legends. All I know is that a Marvel Select Spider-Woman is going to be released...soon.

    Comparing with Marvel Legends figures, Marvel Select figures have less articulation...but if what you really saw was a Marvel Legends Spider-Woman...I can assure you, that articulation won't be a complaint unless your expectations are sky-high...

    She'll have articulation. A lot of the figures ToyBiz shows at ToyFair and similar are mock-up sculpts, before articulation is added. If you looked closely at the Modular Armor Ironman, for instance, you could also tell that the figure on display was basically a statue (although unlike Spider-Woman, his articulation was sculpted in and mapped out).

    So I was wondering about the case breakdown. Has anyone reported if each case would come with all 9 regular figures + 2 variant figures + unknown double or would the cases just be mixtures? I've been thinking of buying a case of these but not sure whether I would get everything plus the variants.

    I love the Sentry figure (regular and variant) and Thor. But in all, the figures look great. To get a complete series I have to buy online cause finding a complete set at Wal-Mart around here would be a waste of time.

    I think it's been said that a case contains all of the regular figures and the variants, as at least one variant is needed to get every piece of Giant Man. I would imagine there's 20 figures in a case, 2 of each regular except AoA Weapon X and Sentry, as they are the two with variants. But who knows? ToyBiz didn't ship two complete Galactuses in the Series 9 cases (though that did have something to do with the fact that there were 7 parts and 14 figures per case).

    And I'd also like to know when this assortment is due. I can't wait to get my terribly ugly (mainly his face) ML Havok, as ToyBiz will no doubt never make another Havok figure EVER (but I'm still praying for an ML X-Factor Havok eventually).

    I've only found two ML variants at retail before, so I'm really bummed that you *have* to find the variants to complete the Giant Man figure. I've not heard any case breakdowns, but on another board someone was saying these variants may not be too hard to find, so who knows. Either way, I shouldn't be worried about these things since I have to save my money any way!

    I mostly just want Captain Britain I guess.

    According to jesse falcon (chief of TB), the varients will be more 'regular' this time round as in more evenly packed due to the fact that you need a varient to complete Giant Man...I dunno what the situation will be like but he's been pretty honest so far...me? I'm just cheesed that I won;t be getting this awesome line in my country! Baaaahh!!

    I've heard that there are 3 varients (burnt AOA Wolvie, bearded Sentry and a 3rd unknown) and that each varient has the same Giant Man piece. Also, each of the three varients are supposed to be in every box. So it's true that you must get a varient to complete G-Man, but it shouldn't be too difficult to get one of the three.

    I preordered a case (from Wizard I think) because I was afraid of missing out, but I certainly paid a premium for it. I think this is probably the best ML wave ever.

    I could care less about the giant man figure, I really want the havok. Hopefully the finished product will look a little better than the toy show pics.

    Just saw the new Spider-Man series figures at Walmart. They had Spider-hulk, Hydroman, Hobgoblin, and some wacky gimmick Spider-men. Picked up Hobgoblin-- Love the sculp, he's one kick ass figure!:rock
