Eff that, I'd much rather have the cross eyed bastard Cyke. Could do without the unmasked Wolvie though. I have plenty, and none with a better face sculpt than the Astonishing variant.

Not sure how the gently caress Stryfe is getting a Legends figure, but I'll take it. That dude was one of my favorites back in the '90s Toy Biz days.

Any chance of a running change (a la TASM2/CA:TWS) that replaces Storm with the unreleased Rogue from the Wolverine series?

I think the folks at Hasbro said they'd like to squeeze the figure into a wave somewhere and it'd make sense to include her in an X-men specific one though I think a lot of people want a 1st appearance Storm more than anything.

I don't trust any running change that isn't movie based to make it out anymore.

I'm excited about that Jubilee figure, but a little bummed that she's apparently the BAF. Guess I'll have to start learning the stocking schedules.

Solid wave though all I want are Stryfe, Magneto and Jubilee. Another Wolverine and another Cyclops costume nobody wants.

Oh my god, is this the SDCC exclusive or an alleged DOFP wave? Please be the former, I don't know if retailers will go for the latter.

Would they do an entire wave exclusive to SDCC? Also, is Jubilee the BAF?

That's a really weird BAF. And the GotG wave has six figures, I figured they'd at least do a DOFP Sentinel or something as the BAF.

Thats the website for the company that is making the Judge Dredd figure. There are some pretty great figures in here with some great broken english names. I am really tempted to order the two pack based off The Rock so I can have Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery hot toys.

Hahahaha, the Steven Segal one perfectly captures his current day state of, ah, 'grace'.

Yeah, keeping her separate and considering what we already know suggests it should be a standalone wave and BAF and I'm guessing the 6 in the header probably means June? I doubt it's SDCC exclusive.

The 6 in the header is referencing the fact that they're 6" figures.

Quick base pics. Not the greatest pics, but I was in a hurry to get home and pop my own MOS Superman on there.





It's a pretty cool base, but honestly it's a little tinier than I had hoped for. The pose is sort of a semi squat pose that he used in the movie when he was fighting Zod and had the car drop on him.

There's not much room for the feet, but overall I think if you'd place him on the ground or flying through the air somehow, this would make an awesome backdrop, especially considering how punchy Zod looks.

I spent about 15$ on it shipped, and I'm not too disappointed. Once I get a chance later I'll start trying to figure out a better pose for him.

This almost looks like it would be awesome for power impact points on Hot Toys. But that requires more of a diorama style posing situation.

Looks like it'd be scaled perfect for like Play Arts or similar though.

The scale is meant for Figma stuff which is roughly the same size.

Thats because it is. Amazon CA is just out of stock at the moment, so thats an rear end in a top hat seller. They have Act 5s though. Personally I like the look of the 4s more; but 5s work just as well especially if you got a heavy figure like a diecast robot.

Actually, its meant for 5-6 inch figures like Figma and Figuarts which aren't even close to PAK size. Also Flanders, here's a good review that shows off pretty well what can be done with them.

With the figuarts line, yes, very much so. Most of my collection is from that line, but I can't get enough of Karate Bugmen, so it works well.

It doesn't hurt that they have some of the finest representations of iron man and war-machine too, here's a look at war-machine:
