I'd absolutely take that to get Shanna (hopefully with at least some differences to Sauron, given his trunks/pants have differed enough at times over the years to justify slightly different looks) or even a three-pack with Ka-Zar. As for BAF re-uses, yep we have gotten a bunch over time. More than I thought at first, when I went back and counted them up: Terrax Arnim Zola (redecoed in modern colors as part of the Hydra Supreme two-pack) Hit Monkey (Miami Vice redeco w/Deadpool) Rocket Raccoon (re-released twice via different exclusives) MCU Groot (TRU re-release w/plant & Baby Groot) Thanos (redecoed in brighter colors via Walmart, then redone in his classic costume via Walmart again) MCU Hulkbuster armor (redecoed as part of a MCU First 10 Years two-pack) MCU Ultron (another First 10 Years redeco) Rhino (Retro retooled) MCU Giant Man Abomination (a "pre-release" variant via SDCC) Juggernaut (redecoed as part of a Marvel 80th two-pack) Dormammu (another SDCC pre-release) MCU Vulture's wings (redecoed via Target) MCU Okoye (re-done as part of the WF wave) MCU IW Thanos (re-released twice via different multi-packs) MCU Cull Obsidian (re-tooled via Amazon multi-pack) Apocalypse (Retro retool into animated version) Monster Venom (redeco) MCU M'Baku (slight redeco via Target) Kingpin (Retro redeco) MCU Endgame Thanos (redecoed as part of Infinity Saga two-pack) As for older post-reboot BAFs through 2018, we're still waiting on: Iron Monger (hello Iron Man Retro card) Mandroids (we actually saw a gold one in a SDCC diorama years back) Ultimate Green Goblin (maybe if we get more Ultimate figures, this guy makes a comeback?) Odin (I'd take a brand new one) Hobgoblin Phil Urich Absorbing Man (like Retro Sandman & Lizard, a smaller re-do seems more appropriate than a straight re-release of the BAF) Onslaught Space Knight Venom Sandman & Lizard (less likely after the Retro releases, but they're Spidey-related so you never know...) Titus (maybe in a two-pack with Sam, to get his Nova back out there?) Warlock (hello New Mutants gift set) MCU Mantis (I think she's part of Rektangular's leaks for the GotG wave next year) Man-Thing (post-WWbN, this seems like a natural to re-release) MCU Gladiator Hulk Sasquatch/Wendigo SP//dr Sauron I barely have enough room to cram Mojo (plus Toad whenever I get him and Spiral and Avalanche when they arrive), and that's before four of the five from the five-pack and Blob next year, let alone any other X-villains the trickle into '23. I'm going to have to seriously reconsider reconfiguring my shelving setup at some point, considering how much I'm spending on MLs at this point versus other lines.
"I am the rocks of the eternal shore crash against me and be broken!" I got Retro Apocalypse yesterday. (It came Monday but it came after I had left for work and I didn't have a chance to open it until now) I have to admit, I was the right age for X-men: TAS was a big influence on me, I especially loved the above quote from Apocalypse. I'll admit, I never seriously entertained the idea of getting a TAS Apocalypse, that we've got one and how good mine is, I'm very glad. My only nit is that there should be blue on the hands as well, but whatever. It's undoubtedly due to that animated portrayal, I always thought that was a better color scheme for him anyway. The Toy Biz one can finally rest.
I hear ya! I recently had to move my X-villains elsewhere for room. I gotta practice more restraint when getting the villains. Don’t want to run out of room again lol Still a W.I.P. and missing some big players (playing the waiting game on those) but here’s the current setup
I've been waiting for an announcement of this since I watched WWBN. I regret not getting the BAF at the time, but I just couldn't pull the trigger on buying an entire wave just for the parts; I do need a figure of my favorite swamp monster (sorry Swamp Thing) though. I will try not to show any fear at the lack of a re-release (LEST I BURN AT THE TOUCH OF THE MAN-THING)
Let's see, with all of these recent X reveals, my need list is dwindling. It's down to: Byrne/Cockrum Banshee X-Force Feral X-Factor Wolfsbane Excalibur Phoenix Mutant Massacre Psylocke 80s Rogue Lilandra 80s New Mutants roster Destiny Mesmero Harry Leland Brood (army builder) Balasco N'Styar Deathbird Bolivar Trask
What i find on these list is how many time i see feral. I feel like this character is no one favorite. I am not even sure if I met/read some one actually liking the character and yet she is in a lot of people wishlist. I understand that people mostly want her to finish the team but I feel like unlike rachel, wolfsbahne or banshee, with feral, finishing the team is like the only reason
Yeah, I didn't really like Feral as a character. (did anyone?) I'll buy her when they make her, but I'm not clamoring for her. She doesn't even make my top 10 X characters wish list (while Rahne and Rachel do). Part of it is that completing X-Force really isn't that important to me. I would get them out and display them occasionally, but mostly they'll just sit in the bin. My top 10 X-Character wishlist 1) Byrne/Cockram Cyclops 2) Excalibur Phoenix 3) Angel in Red/White costume 4) Deathbird 5) Brood 6) Wolfsbane (X-Force) 7) Jean Grey in Red X-Factor costume (Essentially lets us complete that team) 8) Purple Armor Psylocke 9) Goblin Queen 10) Donald Pierce (Reavers version)
All these votes for the Brood and none for Broo? Personally I would like more characters from the last couple decades, including younger X-Men: the Five, Eye Boy, Glob Herman. Oh, Armor too.
I dunno, I just had a brief gag reflex reading your list (except Armor). Modern x-characters, aside from rare exceptions, really suck, and they'll never have the appeal of all the older characters we still haven't gotten. The new ones all desperately want to be weird-like-Morrison's New X-Men, rather than cool or interesting. It's a freakshow that makes the classic Morlocks look "normal". I would question the demand for the vast majority of x-characters invented in the last 20 years. Maybe I'm just an old, but if it's Morrison or Morrison-like or Morrison-adjacent or Morrison-wannbe, it's a hard pass. Give me anything from the 70's, 80's, or (gasp!) even the 90's first.
Got in the Mr. Negative and Inner Demon set from Gamestop.com. Of course it'd be on sale now that I have them in hand . EDIT: Note you only get one Inner Demon body with the three masked heads with Mr Negative in the set Gangsters!
Never snagged a toy off Amazon so fast when the Life Foundation set went back up. Ever since grabbing Scream and a chance Lasher in 2018 it was only a matter of time until the rest of the Life Foundation symbiotes released and I was ready for it. I had Riot and Scream way back from the ToyBiz days! Love the figures. The big Venom buck is one of my fave figures. Toxin I still think we are it best. Agony only makes me wish Hasbro will do a redo on Scream and make her have double jointed elbows too. Venom is fucking amazing. The deep butterfly shoulders are fantastic. My fave Venom figure to date! I don't actually care much for most of Marvel but I do love me some symbiote stuff. Excited to finally have this!
I originally ordered 1 set but Gamestop sent me two (and charged me for both). I initally thought about returning the duplicate set but then decided to open them both so that I can have two goons and sell the extra Mr. Negative on ebay.
Ugh. I want the Mr. negative set but I wish it was a 4 pack. I wouldve been willing to pay extra for a third Inner Demon. Having three heads and only two bodies is such a fucking tease!
Mind trying one of those inner demon heads on a MCU Happy Hogan, I want to see it that body would be useful as a substitute. My Venom three pack arrived! Only question now is Option A Or Option B
Meh. "Hellfire Club Magneto"'s head sits kinda too low... and Jigsaw's head sits kind of high... But was fun to try anyway! Jigsaw is pretty awesome! I'll get the head back on his regular body and my Punisher with bike will finally have his foil! Nova is fine, it's just incredibly boring but serves its purpose. Now Speedball is on my list of figures to eventually pick up. "Strike me down with all your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!"
