Non-MCU10 question: What figure did people use the arms of to replace Netflix Elektra's Popeye arms? I've finally been catching up on season two, and I love her character so much that I had to order the figure, lol.
New Legends revealed: Kree Sentry BAF Knighthawk Living Laser http://marveltoynews.com/marvel-legends-2019-nighthawk-living-laser-kree-sentry-baf/ I only have the BAF one but I'd like to know if the Target one got retooled. The torso joint feels like it's hexagonal yet in a ball socket. The idea I think, is so that it rotates at detents but the socket is very tight, so rotation isn't smooth. I think this is the same kind of torso joint used on the 12" Legends.
Living Laser & Nighthawk! I expected them eventually since they had 3.75 versions that Hasbro could pull from, but still cool to see, especially Living Laser. It doesn't look like he has much of a head/neck joint, which is unfortunate if so. I guess it's a natural assumption now the Kree Sentry will be the Captain Marvel wave BAF. After the way the Black Panther wave(s) played out, I was thinking it might be another MCU character instead.
I'm not sure I follow. Do you think we all have some ultimate checklist and once we're done, we're not going to buy another figure? That over the last 16 (12 of Hasbro) years that the goal posts have never moved or tastes have changed for anyone who did have a goal? I buy the figures I like when I have the means and opportunity to do so. Simple as that. I know there are others who have been after teams, eras, or back in the Toy Biz days were completionists, but I'm not really after anything in those terms. Nowadays I am mostly MCU, but that doesn't mean I'm "forced" to buy them all or even feel any need to. I'll admit, most of the comic figures I'm buying now are just the ones that have an extra "meaning" to me (for example, symbiote Spidey since I was the right age for the original Secret Wars). So no, I don't have a goal or any sort of end point in far reaching plans. As I've mentioned (and posted), for almost the last 10 years my most wanted ML figure was MCU Sif, yet when they made the MCU 10th set, I didn't jump; I felt $50 was too much and it wasn't until GameStop had their sale and local stores had stock did I go out to get it. Similarly, I'd like to have the upcoming BAF Apocalypse (I did get the Toy Biz one, both single and their enormous BAF), but I'm not going to pay the ridiculous aftermarket prices for a completed new BAF nor am I going to buy a wave I pretty much have zero interest in to get it; perhaps at some point it'll get a single card re-release and if so fine, but if not, well, I won't lose any sleep over it. Back in the day I got X-23 entirely to get the BAF Apocalypse part, but that was a different time and a different price.

No real percentage, but I’m realizing my interests more and more, though there are always things that I didn’t know I needed (“wanted”) until I saw them. ML goals: 90’s show/Jim Lee Beast, Jean Grey (redo), Mystique, Jubilee, and Storm. Classic Electro. Also still open to new “classic” spider-man attempts - waiting for a new one like the Select with a light blue and the big red spider on his back. A Power-man and different Iron first would also be great to go with Kid Nova and White Tiger. Wouldn’t say no to a good Netflix Kilgrave as well. Would probably get some hand ninja’s too. (Of course, if Mafex, Revo, SHF, or Mezco make any of those I’d be all over the best rendition)
End Goal? - Majority of Players for MCU Avengers Infinity War 1 & 2 movie saga. If MCU Captain Marvel figure is good, I may get one. - For comics? Majority of X-Men 1992 Animated Series team and their prominent guest characters (redo or previous/earlier Hasbro/Toybiz versions included). Will there be an expansion in the list? - Well that's the one question hard to right answer right now :
Oh, that's a toughie. Right now, I am focusing on Transformers, but I might get back to ML soon. I really want those Fantastic Four exclusives, but I think I missed my window. Maybe not on the Thing? Idk. A Deadpool is also wanted; probably going to get that Dogpool set. Also, that new Hercules. Got a weird soft spot for the guy...might want a Jack Kirby Thor to go with him to recreate that iconic cover. The number one wants from ML right now? Ant-Man and Wasp. Got the 2015 ones (that don't match aesthetically), but man these new ones are swank.
I went to EB Games in Ottawa yesterday and I was going to preorder Thing. Apparently I missed the preorder window for him. I don’t see a way to get him up here other than eBay. If any of you find an extra Thing at Walgreens or EB games I’d really appreciate if you could pick one up for me. He’s the last one I need for my Fantastic Four team.
I mostly follow the MCU and the rest come from various cartoons over the years with Avengers Assemble being the latest, so I've got about three four five dozen and "need" about a dozen more.
