Now conjure up Gwen & Venom at that price.

Tell your customers how much Venom sucks and how much better the select version is, hth. As for Gwen, well, I can't solve ALL your problems.

I only own She-Hulk in this line because I :swoon: over She-Hulk but this might have to be her first friend.

Also I am a huge Venom nerd and I am underwhelmed by the ML. Like, he could have at least had pointy fingers, but without that you just can't have tongue Venom.

If you look up the Spider Gwen figure on Amazon, there are a couple that are $30 from other sellers.

Found out today that Diamond allocated our cases of the Absorbing Man wave. I need a Gwen and Venom for customers and a Ben Reilly for myself. If anybody can help me out I would owe you big time.

The Target near my work has Ben sitting on the pegs, I'll grab him for you and keep an eye out for the others.

Yeah he's got like long fingernails. It's not like Freddy Kruger or anything but this is a more restrained, early appearance Venom. It captures that era very well and he can hit a lot of nice poses. Really fun figure.

Went to work today to get my hours, and while the Marvel Legends is still the Red Onslaught (which looks like they had everyone but Taskmaster out on the floor) and the Rhino wave that nobody buying, they actually got some new Star Wars figures in. Picked up Jango Fett and the Flametrooper for 30 total after the buy one get one half off deal.

SH MonsterArts revelaed their 54 Godzilla today!! So glad I never jumped on the NECA one.

This is confirmed to be in black and white too.





I unpacked my Destroyah this week since its been sitting since April 15 and ive been lazy. I wretched my goddamn hands getting the loving tail back on plus the wings which fell apart. These joints are insanely hard - I don't think heating them up really did anything. Plus Destroyah is covered in goddamn spikes so you can't really grip without getting poked.

I saw a picture of a guy who got his King Ghidora with the tail popped off the joint. He'd forced it back on, and it looked like he'd taken a cheesegrater to his palms.

Have the part prices got better? Last time I checked they were almost the price of just buying the figures alone.

I have an old Hasbro 1/6 scale R2 that I've thought about repainting, especially since the cheap white plastic has gradually taken on a yellow tinge. The sculpt is actually just about perfect. He doesn't have opening panels or accessories or anything but the third leg retracts. It's a nice toy. The decision is just whether to gently caress with it or not. That picture makes me feel like I should.

I broke down and bought the rest of the Captain America wave from work, minus Captain America. While I do have the Red Skull head, I gave Onslaught a different head.



Poor Cottonmouth got clipped out of the frame.

Is the McFarlane Spiderman figure really worth it? I have one and am considering to sell it. Spiderman is not my fav character and Pizza Spidey was pretty drat good IMHO. I just don't get the obsessive appeal of this figure.

I replaced my 'McFarlane Spidey' with Pizza Spidey. It's a better figure all around IMO. McFarlane Spidey (which actually looked a lot closer to J Scott Campbell's art if you ask me) was the gold standard Spidey for years but it really has nothing over Pizza Spidey.

So there was the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spidey (which I have), pizza-Spidey which is more comic accurate, and now there's ANOTHER 6-inch Spider-Man coming out with the Dormamu line? What's the point? That pizza-Spidey seemed drat near perfect. I didn't pick it up 'cause I like my Amazing Spider-Man 2 figure fine, but drat.

The new spidey is on a smaller body, it's supposed to be Ultimate Peter Parker before he died.

Also theyve got to keep a Spider-man on the shelves. People like spiderman!

Also he's not part of the Dormammu wave, that's the Dr Strange movie wave.

Ultimate Spidey's wave was him, Miles, Silk, Hobgoblin, and the rest unnamed. Word is Electro and Shocker may be on it though, but no clues on the BAF.

Current rumor for the ML X-Men wave is that Juggernaut is the BAF, which was "confirmed" via an email from Hasbro Brazil.

I'm disappointed if Juggs is the BAF since it means no new unique character the whole wave, that and ML6 and/or MS Juggs are acceptable fill-ins (I know lots of people hate the MS's scale but I'm okay with it), whereas ML7 Apocalypse desperately needs a redo. Seems Hasbro's plan is to either be conservative with character choices by going with surefire hits (Deadpool, Rogue) while filling in with much needed redos (Phoenix, Kitty). I"m still hoping this wave is a litmus test for future X-Men waves as it already seems guaranteed to sell extremely well as is.

Bummer. I was really hoping for Sauron but was tentatively okay with an Apocalypse if he came with alt-arms and stuff like Absorbing Man. Juggs is a waste of a slot. He already had a redo...in the Spiderman classics line :smug:
