I don't have a pic to show right now, but the new War Machine Rhodey head works great as a T'Challa head on the comic Black Panthers. My VP BAF Venom will be used as a Shadow King instead of actually Venom.
I'm probably very late to this, but I just noticed Pulse removed ETA dates from the listings of November-arriving items and most(all?) other preorders. I also just noticed they've still only shipped three of my seven Strong Guy wave figures. Fun.
Hi boys, appreciate some information here with regards to this year's SDCC figures (Hellfire Club boxset). Anyone knows more information on the accessories that came with the set? Am referring to those 2 blasters in particular... Does those belong to any other characters? (With the helmet intended for Magneto while the yellow neck piece thingy's obviously Wolverine's.)
The blasters are probably meant for Donald Pierce and probably a play on him being as cyborg (tech stuff etc). Pierce later goes on to join the Reavers. The blasters originally came with comic Domino.
Ah...So I see... Am aligning (probably streamlining) my ML collection to X-Men/Force moving forward so if those aren't specifically meant for any of the characters in those 2 lines then I'll shave off all the extra fats. Thanks again for sharing mate.
No problem...here’s a hint I got from one of my sources...mutants lovers will be happy with what is planned. Of course things are subjected to changes.
You mean to tell me that the line that has released - in the last 11 months - 2 X-Men waves, 8 special X-Men figures (of which 5 were exclusives) 6 X-Men multipacks, and 2 X-Men Convention Exclusive box sets... might be planning on making more X-Men figures? Not to belittle your source, but this is hardly a scoop. They might as well leak that a Spider-Man wave is coming in Q1.
Well, that particular piece bit of tibit isn’t for you so feel free to ignore my post. What’s the phrase, “don’t need to get your knickers in a twist.” - if you aren’t excited of more muties. There is a some minor concern Hasbro is done with the muties now they have released the “big guns”. Anyway, my source was right on previous releases (ML, SW and TF) even though they usually end up being released late.
I didn't realize there was concern that they were done with mutants... where is that coming from? I mean they already announced a House of X wave, is the fear that they're done with 80's designs for now or something?
Well, some collectors (in my country) had that concern. IMO old school fans would like to see Stryfe (reissue or on a new buck), the BAF Apocalypse in standalone format, Havok (old school) etc. Personally, I’m done with muties - I’m pleased with what I have.
Yeah, I'd think they'd milk more old school designs. Part of it is because they have a huge hole from when they stopped making X-related figures as general releases, but if you look they line is filled with X-figures: the regular line, classics, movies, heck a whole wave on Age of Apocalypse figures that haven't been featured in comics in what, decades? And we just got a Strong Guy. I don't think we're going to have any shortage of mutants anytime soon.
Yeah, I agree with you. If one was a Marvel fan that grew up reading their comics in the 80s and 90s, most likely the X-books were the must read titles back then... So to me, all these mutie releases is really like a dream for yours truly. However, I have some younger friends who only got into Marvel because of the MCU...so the last couple of MLs waves/releases were “terrible” for them! X) Personally, I hope we get more of the older old-school cosmic characters like Armored Ronan, Quasar...and a new annihilus...but I’m not holding my breath.
I do think there's hope because of the Fantastic Four coming back to the fold (plus whenever the new Guardians movie comes out). However I have no idea why they are so hell bent on giving Silver Surfer over to Walgreens.
Well I broke down and ordered this guy, lol. And now since I have both wings and the left leg of Sauron, I ordered the rest. The right leg and tail are cheap and easily obtained, but it looks like the cheapest way to get the body is by ordering it with boxers Deadpool from BBTS for $19.99, so I did that too.
