The Deadpool cases should be dropping very soon so he'll also be affordable.

The head sculpts on the ML6 Wolverine and Deadpool are better, everything else on the new ones are better though. Not sure why but Hasbro has not been knocking it out of the park with their head sculpts recently.

Deadpool's unmasked face on the new one is like 1000x better than the old one.

The accessories on that one seem to look terrible... also don't much care about the diseased scrotum face, would have preferred more actual masked expressions.

The new Revoltech one seems to be polarizing people, but looks pretty cool...

Don't listen to the haters. If you like to pose figures, Revoltech Deadpool is awesome.

Sounds like you should watch Thew, he's great.

I also like Vangelus but that's a pretty minority opinion.

I've been mostly watching Anthony's Customs on youtube, but that guy has some really loving asinine complaints sometimes.

He makes a loving badass custom Nightwing, though.

Speaking of YouTube toy reviewers, was it ever revealed what happened to Glenn Webb? He was one of my favorite guys to watch, and he just died suddenly. I thought it was a joke at first. He was only around 40 years old.

The best toy reviewer is Pixel Dan. He gives a nice, clear review that helps with buying decisions. Also seems like a super nice guy. I liked Shartimus Prime's reviews, but it got old with the endless "support my Patreon", so I stopped watching. I was legit sad / shocked when Glenn Webb passed, he was the best. I also like Tommy's Toy Travels if you're into WWE figures.

Basically, I watch a lot of toy reviews during lunch time at work.

Pixel Dan is hit or miss for me, because it feels like he praises the poo poo out of a lot of stuff unnecessarily and I really get the vibe that he's doing it because companies send him the stuff for free, and if he doesn't praise the poo poo out of things then they won't sent him more free stuff. There's a joke/analogy in there about games journalism and video game reviews, but I think you understand what I mean.

I like Shartimus Prime, Anthony's Customs, Glenn Webb (RIP), Outside the Box Reviews, and a new guy who mostly reviews NECA stuff that I stumbled across, Nick Hoestetter.

Pixel Dan also has a lot of fake enthusiasm and weird creepy learned (but not polished) over-enunciation. The overall feel of his reviews is "MattyCollector bought time on QVC." Tone aside, he's also just a giant whore for Mattel to the point it's embarrassing to watch. I'm surprised he's never (as far as I know) outright said "double elbow joints are unnecessary, Mattel does it right!"

So Walmart.com has a bunch of Marvel Legends for ~$12.00, including the new Wolverine, so that's kind of huge.

Free shipping over $50, or free pickup.

I hope stores actually get to order them. I noticed a lot of them near by, even my work re-ordered the Absorbing Man wave again due to them getting a new shipment that has more Venom and Spider-Gwens. Too bad that means a lot more Beetle, Speed Demon, Jack O Lantern, and Mobibus to peg warm.

The cape clasp on the Hot Toys Phasma is some Chinese knock-off level lovely plastic.

It's already $100 overpriced Hot Toys, put 3 loving cents into it and use some plastic that doesn't mush.

That wave(like so many of them) never came out here at retail and I was curious since the 'local' store I ordered one from(for half the cost of importing it myself) haven't gotten theirs yet
