I’m only slightly grumpy about the two-packs, I won’t be mad to get any of those figures, it’s a strong lineup. In other news my two year old has taken an interest in Thundercats. Mostly she just wants to dance to the kickass theme song, but she is also a fan of Mumm-Ra the Ever Living because he has a dog. Now she keeps trying to argue with me that she’s big enough to play with my very expensive Thundercats toys. What have I done??

Uncanny 256 was the first X-Men comic I ever bought so I'm definitely on the hook for that Psylocke.

Sanschel posted:I’ve had luck with the ziplock & dryer sheet method for some lightly smelly Legends, but I once ordered a baf Onslaught via eBay whose cigarette stink was so offensively strong I had to immediately reseal the box and returned it for a refund. What’s worse is I’d messaged the seller before buying and he assured me it was from a smoke free home, then when I asked the the refund he said, “my bad, I keep the stuff I sell in a box in the guest room closet and I didn’t think the smell would get to them” lol a few years ago I got a book from Yahoo Japan auctions and when it came I could smell the loving cigarette smoke before I opened the package. It was horrific.

Louisgod posted:Yeah some of the character choices were a bit odd. Nobody asked for a second ninja Wolverine but fans DO want Albert, and they absolutely do want an 80's costume Psylocke. Still wanting on Deathbird. Classic Betsy Armored Outback Betsy Updated re-release Jim Lee Betsy Captain Britain Betsy Crimson Dawn Betsy I'm sure there are some costumes in the 2010's that would have been better. The "wore this for an issue" figure should be strictly a wolverine thing if they must do it.

At this point Hasbro should create a nude buck with like 5 snap-on costumes for popular characters but that would cut into their bottom line of charging for A New Hat or whatever minor update they do a year later.

Nerd Of Prey posted:Counterpoint: that figure looks rad as gently caress. No argument that she looks fantastic. But ultimately she'll just end up in a plastic storage bin because there's not really a space for her on the shelf. Gripweed posted:Wow, we get it, you hate Wasp fans and don’t want them to be happy. Exactly who I was thinking of regarding Louisgod's joke. I still keep several old toybiz wasps just for the costume variety.

robot roll call posted:alright who ordered a Big Beefy Frieza the sculpts are getting so good lately that it's redefining the whole line. I think Turles was the first one that made me go "whoa" and everything else since has been unreal. the 1.0s look like dragon stars in comparison shame about the reliance on p-bandai though, the high price points and the $10 shipping with no warehouse option is really lovely. that's the only thing keeping me happy to admire from afar instead of diving back in
