    That Gambit needs a third face with a smirk. Otherwise damn near perfect. Hopefully the card throwing effects can be used on both hands.

    As an aside, does anyone else remember the rumors from the 90s that Gambit was the third Summers brother?

    There was a lot of that back in the 90s. I remember buying the X-Treme figure back in the day because he was rumoured to be the third Summers brother and wanted him to go with my Cyclops, Havok, and Corsair.

    I want to say that I read somewhere that Gambit turned out to be a clone of Summers at one point or in one reality?
    Seems dumb to me, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

    I can't say that surprises me. Marvel's been in the weeds for a LONG time now.

    Gambit is looking especially awesome here. The coat looks a little big in some shots, but hopefully, that can be messed around with to look better. I'd be cool if they could reissue Wolverine with a tweaked arm design that stayed together more solidly.

    I'm game for a new Wolvie with tweaked arms if:
    1. They use black instead of blue on the torso stripes.
    2. They revisit the claws to give us more splayed ones than rake ones. The physically impossible length doesn't bother me - I just don't like them being so straight.

    Gambit has a big head with no neck in some of the pics but overall, looks good. Cap looks good. I don’t care about a Gambit enough to get another expensive one and definitely don’t want MCU stuff.

    Jordan...I’m not into but if they make Barkley, all in.

    Barkley will need to have 5 sets of interchangeable elbows.
    I would only be interested in the Dream Team if I knew we were getting at least five members. I'm still debating on Bulls Jordan - would like to see a review first, but if I knew they were making other players of that era like David Robinson or Spud Webb, I'd be all in.

    Haha! Yeah that would work for me. I don’t need any of those other players but it would be cool. Just give me Charles and I can display it with my Godzilla figures.

    Got Endgame Cap preordered at AmazonJP. The only thing is the shipping is ¥3532. I hope they reduce it eventually. I saw the mafex LeBron had the same for shipping a few weeks ago, but now it’s down to the usual ¥1543. I hope they reduce shipping for preorders as well.

    I ordered Jordan through AJ and can’t cancel at this point, but am waffling. I think I might actually prefer the white uniform to the red, but wouldn’t double dip. Was also trying to think of other players I might want and couldn’t come up with any. Oddly I was a huge Alonzo Mourning fan as a kid but wouldn’t want a figure now. Maybe Shaq before he got too heavy.

    that’s awesome! It would have to be his Suns uni rather than dream team, right?

    I liked Zo back then too but not enough to want a figure. Maybe if there always a Hornets Grandmama 2 Pk with him. Shaq would be good.

    Yeah, Suns would be ideal but I’d take any and potentially up to three Barkley figures with Dream Team, Suns and Sixers. I can pass on Rockets.

    I hate to be that guy asking about updates but, as this thread covers a lot of figures, I figure it's easier to ask than to dig through the past several pages: has there been any word on the Hush Batman coming out? Really looking forward to all of those figures but BBTS just keeps changing the expected release date every month.

    he is scheduled for the end of June/beginning of July at the moment along with Jordan and Peter Parker. Miles is scheduled then too, but will probably be pushed back.

    it might get delayed again though.

    Yeah the shipping is insane, I held off on ordering. I wasn't sure if the shipping prices adjusted over time or not.

    I mean, they gave him 7 hands. That special effect would have been perfect.

    ...I thought Medicos was doing a Kenshiro, was there a Mafex announcement I missed?
