I scrolled down far enough to see that captain marvel and scarlet witch and got so hyped before realizing they're still on preorder.  That Black Widow looks ok on my phone but I want to get a look at her in store someplace before I jump. I might have to nab Hawkeye too. Hmm.

My local Target and TRU ain't got poo poo, either. Not them dancin' Groots or really much of anything else at all. loving everything is sold out and it makes me think the shipping issues on the west coast have somehow hosed over the midwest worse than the east coast, maybe, which is cool. TRU is at least trying to fill their shelf space, while Target is just row after row of empty hooks. I just want new figures to stand around and think about buying ...  It has sent me on a spiral of looking at vintage stores and whatever huntin' down weird old action figures. I just got Corsair the other day, and he's pretty awesome as far as cheapo plastic Toy Biz figures go. He even comes with one of the best toy reviews I've ever read:

Louisgod posted:I can check my Target later to see if they have the ladies and send them your way if you want to just pay me back. I know more recent posts indicate they were all gone, but if you do run across them send me a PM because I'd be 100% down for this. Better than paying $45 on Amazon or whatever.  I'm debating if I want to go out and try again today or not. There is a comic shop that sometimes gets action figures in that's had a Hope Summers figure lying around for months now, and I am tempted to at least snag that. (I could just get her online, but ... ehh. Why wait?)I feel for the striking dockworkers and I reckon their pay negotiations are more important than me getting or not getting some painted plastic, but this is still frustrating as hell.

I know this objectively. I think it's just because I was so excited when they were announced in the first place. Even though I know I'll get them sooner or later it feels like I shoulda had them by now. Which is stupid, because it doesn't matter. And yet ...

My local Target finally got a shipment!  They were out of everybody but Hawkeye, but I wanted him anyway. Midwesterners and anyone in northern Illinois, stuff has finally begun to arrive here. I was at Target to get groceries anyway so that was a nice surprise despite how much was already sold out. (Or just not out yet? Who knows.)of course this happens the same day I gripe about it.

The Rage posted:I bring you Marvel Legends news: I am so hype for these based on announcement alone, holy poo poo. I still haven't found Capt. Marvel or Scarlet Witch in stores yet, and I missed out on that $22 Amazon price. Yuch. I gotta swing by TRU tomorrow morning when I'm out running errands, I think, see if the wave'll be there for once. Also, Pop figures are so hit or miss. From their CATWS Pop figures, I remember haaaating how the Black Widow one looked. Something about her face is just really creepy. They are good for making a zillion obscure characters from all kinds of franchises, though. Their Magneto is really great, too. All the new poo poo seems kinda overkill though. The salt & pepper shakers are so ugly.

I just have a really huge soft spot for Misty Knight. White Tiger's been in Mighty Avengers for a bit now, which is admittedly kind of a second string title as far as Avengers books go. For me it's pretty neat to see more minor characters getting action figure treatment; I never ever would have guessed Misty'd get one.

Holy poo poo, I hope she's not an exclusive because that's my jam. I do wish they'd put out more X-Men stuff, though. I get what they're up to, but ...  X-books do still seem to sell, and the X-Men movies are popular, if not owned by Marvel Studios. Wouldn't Marvel be the ones getting the money from those toy sales, not Fox? Or is their deal with Fox different from Sony?

I'm crossing my fingers for Misty Knight showing up in the Netflix Defenders series. But maybe not before the figure comes out, so I'll be able to get her no trouble.  I know someone posted a list of the next few waves, but here's a bunch of photos of those figures: http://news.toyark.com/2015/02/14/marvel-legends-official-photos-toy-fair-2015-151819 Speaking of characters I've never heard of:  ...

Timby posted:Marvel refuses to license X-Men merchandising to Fox -- which is why you didn't see any Days of Future Past toys or merchandise last year despite the movie making like a zillion dollars. If it were movie merchandise, Fox would get the money from it. Aaaah, okay. I was wondering if it was like the Sony deal where Marvel gets pretty much all the toy money. Sounds like it ain't. Thanks! I wish they could just sell comics versions of the characters who're showing up in the movies and claim it was a coincidence or something; still make the money off the figures and not hand the money away,, which they obviously want to avoid.

PSA: that Marvel Select Hawkguy figure is definitely available out in the wild now. i love the utter lack of fanfare it came out with.  Looks really good in person. The scale is going to look hilarious with my Legends figures, but whatever. There is supposed to be a new Select Black Widow at some point, right? I just want her and Hawkguy to hang out on my shelf and I wasn't a big fan of the older one I saw.

He hasn't had a dog in any other media yet, has he? Also, don't think I saw it mentioned but there's going to be a Black Widow Pop! figure coming out soon, after she was conspicuously left out of the initial announced lineup. I'm glad she's getting more merch but I always feel more obligated than actually interested in Pop! figures. Yet I buy them anyway. (She's also missing from that goofy Cosbaby line from Hot Toys.)

I still feel like that lead time is absurd haha. Releasing merch closer to the release of the film seems more logical to me, but hey, if the wicked long preorder strat works for them then who am I to judge? This is just for the two of yall who wanted him, but there was only one Hawkguy left at the actually convenient Disney store.  I can try the other location this weekend or call it bust. Also the packaging is a little busted on this one so if you wanted to keep him in package that's probably not the best. the cardboard side piece came unstuck from the plastic portion of his box. Rhyno, let me know if you'd rather try for pristine packaging or something. (I sent PMs a little bit ago that are now slightly outdated)

What I still can't get over with that set is how cheap the eye of Agamotto looks. I know it's all just plastic, but jeez.

The eye is just an extra nice-to-have bonus and I'm even surprised they bothered since they also spent money on the really nice book-like packaging. This set is awesome compared to that ridiculous EE GotG set. Oh yeah the rest of the set is really awesome, it just seems weird to have a cheap bonus when everything else is so cool.  I'd think the set was still worth the normal price even if it wasn't included.Louisgod posted:They will never lower in price and will only go up from here. If you expect to somehow pay retail for this set, it's not gonna happen. Expect $50 or $75 over retail for the set, if you're lucky, and $50 for each individual figure. OK, I figured as much but figured I'd ask. I knew retail price was out of the question, I'm just not used to it.

I know there was at least one other person trying to track down the Magik figure from SDCC. This ... isn't that, but it is an Illyana thing:   Looks like they're also doing Emma, Magneto, and Scott. Not poseable or anything, but still neat, and something for X-fans. Definitely gonna be picking up Magik, and maybe Emma as well. My only complaint is the yellow sword. Why?  It's also way less creepy than some of the 'Bishoujo' figures Kotobukiya did of various Marvel ladies!These are coming out in February of 2016, apparently.

I kinda feel like this. I get tempted by some of them, but the combo of price and being totally out of step with my collection's general size means I can't set them up having weird inter-property parties.

Why cookie Rocket posted:Cross hatching, and the effect is awesome if they hadn't pinched pennies on the paint wash needed to bring them out.

The effect as-is looks like crap, which is disappointing. Just because it could look good aftermarket - that sucks. It leaves the figures you'd see on the shelves looking really lovely and disappointing. It ain't a drat model kit, y'know?
