2015: The year when toy companies figure out what kids from the 80's really want.

Right, I've already picked up a Slimer, Earthworm Jim, and Tom Baker this year and I still want that Rocketeer and the large Diamond Select Nightmare Before Christmas that comes out later this year.

Also funko retro gremlins line...

drat these people. So looking at those Rocketeer pictures made me realize I never stand anything up in dynamic poses. I think I need to get some display cases or shelves because all of my stuff looks like an awkward company picnic photo, everyone is just shuffled next to each other.

My guess is no unless it's hidden in a back wall of that package picture. Also the rest of the legacy line does not. AND his head isn't made to look forward while in a flight position.

I don't want Ultron, so I think we can make an arrangement for the Ultron BAF pieces I'll have.

Does that HB BAF weigh like 5 loving pounds like the old ML one did? Because if not, it can fight right off.

Yeah, that Hulkbuster can come play too. Is that the movie one or just similar?

Hot Toys officially announced Scarlet Witch today, not that anyone was surprised.

Photos are on their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hottoys

She looks a bit cross-eyed in some of them but the head on pictures look normal.

The figure overall is just kind of plain.

The hair looks awful, though - like a giant wig just sitting on her head.

They release like 1 set of ~5 a quarter, they have a pretty big backlog before they get to Thor.

I dunno, Hasbro's definitely upped their game when it comes to paint apps, especially on the faces. I know the latest Spider-Man wave had some annoying slop but other than that I think they've found their stride when it comes to painting in the lines.

SDCC exclusive for Marvel Legends this year is Dr Strange based.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2015/06/04/hasbro-doctor-strange-comic-con-exclusive/28478605/


The article has pictures of everything but It's a 5 piece set that's held together by a book of Vishanti.
The figures included are astral Strange, Brother Blood, Dormammu, Magik and Hela. Plus a wearable Eye of Agamotto.

Finally, the Magik figure of my dreams. :swoon: Con exclusive is frustrating but I'm going to buy that fucker one way or another. The book and other figures are neat too.

Is anyone in thread going to SDCC that I could buy the set off of?

For those interested, Scarlet Witch is now available for pre-order from Sideshow. Weird that she was just announced this morning and available for pre-order this afternoon. Usually it's a couple days of suspense.
