Except he wasn't. He was the second best figure in the wave as he kicked off our yearly Serpent Society members list. Now if Hasbro could just do a box set or a wave that includes a BAF Bushmaster.

 

Sorry man. I know you're an SS fan. I hope you get them.

For a solid year I found Cottonmouth at all the places I went. It was kind of funny.

 

Oh there is no doubt he shelfed warm, but so did half of that wave. In fact, I believe Cap was the only one that was hard to find after a month or two, but Sharon, Demolisher, Cottonmouth, and Mockingbird all collected dust for the entire year.

 

Yeah, the Classic armor Hasbro made for the 80th can be turned into so many of Tony's old school armors that I can 100% guarantee that Hasbro already created the alternate parts for at least Silver Centurion and MKI War Machine when they made him. No way they didn't. It's just a matter of how long the wait is going to be before they find a place to slot them in.

 

I stopped on my way to work this morning, to buy White Rabbit. Some guy has been hard at work stealing BAF parts. The first WR didnt even have the glider. Luckily, one with good paint did.

 

Wow, that classic Frank Miller Black Widow looks amazing!!!!!

 

New Black Widow store exclusives.

Grey suit is Wal-Mart exclusive. White suit is Target exclusive.

Both available for PO tomorrow.

 

Well crap. At least Walmart exclusives have been easier to obtain recently for some reason.

 

Okay. I'm down for that grey suit. That's what I remember her wearing prominently in the 80's/90's when I did the majority of my hardcore comic reading. Never knew she wore a white suit in the comics.

 

Why can't we get a great, standard BW?

 

I expect to see a better version of the standard black costume eventually. Especially with all these new parts Hasbro tooled we've been seeing since the deluxe movie version was announced. You can honestly get a great classic Widow if you take the Retro series version and slap the head from the Riders version on it though.

A lot of people don't like the reuse of the MJ head. Which I find to be a bit silly considering that if it'd come out on Widow first... people would probably be making the opposite complaint. I never see that complaint when it comes to the Target Exclusive Carol head having been reused for Jean in the Dark Phoenix pack. Probably because they're both not redheads.

 

 
I need that gray suit BW! The short hair is what I remember from the 90s.

They gotta keep danglng the carrot$$$ in front of collectors?  

 

Yeah, that issue was one of the first things that came to my mind too.  

 

Its junk.

 

Eh, not really into either exclusive. What I would've liked to have seen is a deluxe version of the Winter Soldier release. Digital printing on the Avengers head, batons, pistols, working holsters, and maybe short heels instead of wedges because wedges look stupid.

 

Oh jeez, I love both of those BWs as Deadly Origin is one of my favorite Widow stories and those accessories rock. Damn Hasbro's got me considering on buying three versions of BW this year. Four if they release a black version of the Deadly Origin one.

We got one with the bike.

So I was thinking about ways Hasbro could do a Romita Jr version of Hobgoblin (or similar to that one that doesn't have a shredded cap and a better looking mask, plus, hopefully a better glider that also has a stand like the Demo one) and it came to me. Release Hobgoblin in the rider series with the giant glider from the Spider-Man 90s cartoon as it also allowed a smaller glider to detach from it.

 

Oh that would be damned cool. And it's not like Marvel Legends hasn't done unique cartoon related designs in the line already.
