If Selene isn't leaning on that bike kudos to you. I can't for the life of me get that figure to stand.
Picked up my first two Marvel Legends in like 2 years. Hasbro really knocked it out of the park with these head sculpts.
The natural choice for a pack-in with underboob Maddie is underboob Alex. God this event was good. I didn't even really care about the A Plot. It was the New Mutants stuff I like.
Oh definitely, Havok would be a great pack-in choice. But the NM stuff didn't do much for me. I was only reading Uncanny and XF at the time. I was all about the A-plot... except I thought Scott and Jean were really in the wrong. I mean, what did Maddie ever do wrong? In the back of my mind, I was hoping that she'd get some kind of redemption/vindication at the end, especially since she really only chose the dark side b/c she thought it was a dream. I think it would have been more interesting to have a world where Jean and Maddie had to co-exist in Scott's orbit.
Bless that Target $25 off $100 deal. I was able to take a bite out of a couple of those $50 2-packs that I didn't want to pay full price for.
Found the joe fixit wave today. I picked up kang and thunderstrike but ended up leaving kang behind. I initially was gonna pass on the whole wave but thunderstrike just had a neat look to him that screams 90s that made me decide to get it. Aside from that wave they had some dominoes but no joes at all. They did have those apex legends figures which I dont even really know about but they didn't really appeal to me at the price point. If those go on sale I might check them out as background characters or something.
Speaking of toxin, apparently he is out because I saw him in gamestop today. I had no interest but was surprised to see him there.
So, over at Marvelous Newsa leaker is claiming that the rest of the HoX wave will consist of Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, and Omega Sentinel. No news on the baf... Though the fact we're getting this wave makes the fact we got Nimrod in his HoX design as a stand alone figure weird.
Hope that Apex Legends line completes the whole roster, need me a Mirage, Octane, and Revenant. Speaking of, used the target deal today to buy movie Venom, phage, and the three Apex figures.
I don’t want the 3 they already showed. I am curious what Omega Sentinel is, since that is coming with our Has lab Sentinels. Is this the same thing, or a different deco, or something new such as Karima Sharpidar? I might want that, depending on what it is to go with my Sentinel and Bastian, and I will want Marvel girl. cyclops is a maybe but I can probably skip it unless there’s a great BaF. They said the BaF would coincide with the Sentinel though. Wolverine will be interesting. He’s back to his brown suit for House/Power of X I believe.
It has the gloves/boots from his later Astonishing X-Men/X-Force suit as well IIRC, it’ll probably be a repaint of the 2019 X-force Wolverine.
Finally! Managed to track down a singular Silver Centurion at a Walgreens. I know I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but the double-balljointed neck is still not great. I actually think it works pretty great for neutral poses, but this is still an Iron Man that can't really look up and that sucks a bit. I also wish he had those pinless arms that War Machine has. But those are minor complaints compared to all the good about this figure. The silver looks fantastic and, just like on War Machine, I love the rotating shoulder armor. It makes me really happy that they took so long to make this guy, cuz he gets to reap the benefits of all the new sculpts and engineering the recent Iron Man figures have been getting. Now to just touch up the tiny scratch on his arc reactor (wonder if that's why he was the one left behind...).
