And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
Of the 3 current ML waves I want the Spider-Man one the most. I’m irrationally irritated that it’s the only one with the figures priced above retail on Amazon.

Am I being too impatient?

The Kingpin wave? Only a few are priced above retail and that's because it just came out, I bet they'll be discounted soon enough. Only one I can see staying above retail is Silver Sable, but only because people are scooping her up in anticipation of the Lilandra head coming with Mystique.

Well, of course I know him.

I really don’t see a need for a third SW scale, doubly so if they’re going to be in the rumored $80 price range. For that money I can buy an SH Figuarts that’ll have better articulation, a better likeness, and it’ll be in scale that everyone else uses.

That’s also assuming these ever actually hit retail stores, which is no longer a given with Hasbro’s incredibly lovely distribution.

They’re not as uniform as Black Series, but they’re usually very close to 1/12 scale.

Well the tailoring at least seems a lot better than the Black Series, but it's hard to judge anything off Vader as the only one known so far.

There hasn't been any word on a number of the Toyfair reveals since then. It's not part of either of the known upcoming waves (Batman Ninja, and Killer Croc BAF.)

With Mattel losing the rights now it's possible some never happen.

I think it's funny because Neca's twitter is also taking shots at Funko, while Funko just seems happy to do its own thing.

I don’t see much of a point in this particular wave since you can still get those real vintage Kenner figs for around the same price on eBay, but apparently later waves will have new figs that never got the Kenner treatment, like Grand Moff Tarkin, and characters from the other trilogies. I am extremely into that.

I'm not interested in the Kenner style of figures, but I hope they do make characters from the sequels and prequels in that style.

3-Pack Magneto, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are on Amazon for pre-order, and they look stellar:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MBBZQKM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Looks like we're also getting a vintage X-Factor Cyclops, 2-pack Juggernaut and 70's Colossus, and possible Outback Dazzler. Rumor is we'll also get a Cannonball and Boom-Boom 2-pack. I'm stoked Hasbro finally realized they're sitting on a huge cash cow with the X-Men name and are finally putting out.

I get that they didn’t want resellers to try and scam buyers into thinking they were getting original Star Wars action figures MIB, but there had to have been a better way than a glaring red circle on the front of the card.

It won’t even matter in the long run because resellers will just sell them loose as near-mint vintage, and hope the buyers don’t know how to check if they’re genuine. So they’ve marred the cards for nothing.
