Snow Serpent makes me want a Cobra Wolf. (Even though that came with an Ice Viper, the Snow Serpents look cooler.)

Cobra Wolf is one of the most classic designs of all time.

I still believe the Ice Viper was originally meant to be a ninja, it had two sai's. It even looks like a Storm Shadow in a new look.

It's proper king poo poo, just a beautiful design. Give me a HISS for pootling about town, and a Wolf for pootling about in the winter. I never had one as a kid, only picked up a reissue a few years back and just adore it.

I had the original. Being Canadian I'm pretty sure I was legally required to own one. My brother owned one. Felt like everyone I knew who bought the line owned one. It was a thing.

It goes to show even a crazy concept which it is, if designed right can really stand out and exceed beyond peoples wildest expectactions.

Orders up!

Didn't expect that to be the one to sell out first, unless you count the TF Roadblock/Trip-Wire which lasted twenty minutes.

But Creeper is a troop builder and people order stupid crazy numbers of these figures. I keep seeing some mentioning buying ten or even twenty. There needs to be a limit.

Part of me is starting to think people buy up these troop builders to scalp now as that appears to be a thing that keeps happening.

I hear you. I like three for troopbuilders, but of course if I had space I'd grab more. No need to resell or scalp, just let me buy enough for tableau photos.

Might be, the early GW writers were just do the dudes designing the game so they threw what they knew into the game. Like the character that served as the commander for the Chaos deck Abbadon, got his name because the creator hadn't thought of one and just said 'oh, he's 'a bad 'un'.

And the ancient races that brought space faring to the lesser races are lizardmen because the local pub they drank at had a gecko in an astronaut suit as it's mascot.

Poxxus turned out so nice I don’t mind the wait, but do we know why they were delayed for so long? I want to naively think that after the long delay that means Necro won’t be too far off. It’ll be nice to have the 4z

I never heard why they were delayed. Seems a little late for Covid but guess China was still on lockdown then had their big outbreak during the time they were in pre-production stage. I know they were working from multiple factories now. Aphareus from Illythia delayed that wave and I'd guess the brutes delayed this one but no one shared the details with me.

They are hoping to have Necronominus fully shipped by November's LegionsCon. No idea about AS6 -- they had already started tooling so maybe that wave as well. Cosmic Outpost is next and is apparently going on the water pretty soon. I'm getting last year's retailer wave this next week in addition to the remainder of my Poxxus wave so lots of figures swimming around.

You only need to get him a holster and gun.

Am I the only one continually perplexed why Azbats keeps getting figures with red instead of the more conventional blue normal scheme?

Yes, I know why it's red. It's like a page or two of his armor heating up and he promptly discards it in his fight with Bruce for keeper keeps all.

It's just kinda, pointless? If you want Azbats you want him looking blue, not this here for a few panels red.

Zsasz done like he used to be was perhaps one of the most realistic and frightening villians I saw in a comic.

A normal guy who killed people, families. He would pose their bodies as if they were doing every day things. Watching TV, eating, whatever. Reading a comic with him getting away with this while in he was locked up IN prison was pretty messed up, especially as it showed the bodies with the blood cuts. This was in the 90’s and DC when they normally didn’t do such things. It was a definite WTF am I reading moment in my youth. He didn't act insane, he wasn't over the top, and it made the whole thing far more chilling. Batman checked him to see if he had any more tally marks on his body. He didn't. Batman leaves and ol Zsasz sits back down lifting his foot to reveal several on the bottom of it as he marks another one.

There will never be Batman toys to run out of.

Never.

One day we shall all be Batman toys wrapped in plastic.

Well, I'm in the market for a new display case. My oldest wants her own bedroom, which means I have to clear out my office and move some stuff into my bedroom, including my figure cases. Unfortunately, my main case won't fully fit against one of my walls along with my two detolfs. I'd love any suggestions and for reference here's my current case:



I like this one but the front pane doesn't open, so I have to put all the figures in from the side, which sucks so much rear end. Looking for a case that's 6ft+ tall and 28" wide or less and can be opened from the front. Any and all recommendations are welcome, irrespective of price.

Word on the mean streets is that there will be a blue chase variant of that one. Probably will be easier to find than a walmart exclusive from years ago.

The Walmart exclusive was his first armor with the more traditional cape, and they didn't bother to color his claws correctly. I would be down for a blue variant of this one though. It's so ridiculously edgy.

What an awesome looking figure. I have it on preorder now, but I've never owned a Storm figure before. It says that it's 1:12 scale, but I thought Storm was in the 7" scale? I hope it really is closer to 6" than 7" so it'll fit in my collection easier. But even if not, it looks too good to pass up.

How's the quality and QC on Storm figures?
