Love the cybrog. Has a Toybiz look to it. Only need JJ and Black Cat now. Will order those tonight.
The black and white Spidey looks like little kid 8th grader.

The cyborg arm looks cool, but not enough to motivate a purchase.

I also hate store exclusives, especially Walgreens which either gets wiped out fast by scalpers or just don't order enough and you can't even order online. Really incompetent execution of selling stuff.

Received my McF DC Arkham Knight Batman and it looks really good. Wasn't sure I'd order it since I didn't play the PS4 game yet and remembered the other PS3 Batmen looking cool with the light armor.

This thing needs an arm type display stand. Can't really stand with feet parallel. Stands sorta ok with one leg back. Mine had the hardest time figuring out how to get the ankles positioned normally. Hard to tell where it's meant to move without breaking it. Ended up plucking out the foot and then getting the stuck ankle rocker moving. Seems like Marvel Legends type hand/foot pegs.

I was thinking about buying at least another McF DC to go with this, but not so sure now. It's quite a bit taller than Marvel Legends, G.I. Joe.

I was eagerly awaiting today's Mando Monday, but could only find mentions of Funko (pass) and Invicta watch (also pass).

This is NOT the way.

I did see a Mando t-shirt showing maybe 8 diff Mandos and I think they only showed the Armorer, Heavy, and Mando on the show in some detail. The other Mandos were shown in full body drawings like maybe eventually they'll introduce them in the show.
 
Best Buy has 25% off one select toy until 12/15 via logging in and browsing loyalty offers.

Didn't see anything I wanted that I didn't already order. No G.I. Joe eligible. Did see good price on Marvel Legends 80th Thor and Iron Man, Kingpin, Gray Beast, TVC Slave I, Black Series prototype Boba helmet, Cap Am plastic (?) shield.

Also, seeing the Target exclusive Marvel Legends Vintage Rogue cardart, it has in the upper left corner heads of Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine masked, Storm. This has me really curious if this means this line will re-issue orange and brown Wolverine which I need.
 
Do any of the Marvel toy collectors in here still read Marvel comics and if so what current Marvel comics are you reading?

Some McFarlane figure reviews on Amazon said the joints are too tight and needs to be dipped in warm water so it won’t break.

I got Grim Knight Batman and it’s probably my favorite figure of the year. The sculpt is really good for a $20 figure and the paint has a nice black wash to it. Didn’t have problems with the joints.

Afterwards, I ended up ordering:

comic book superman
Metal Batman
Flashpoint Batman - Target exclusive.

will probably order Red Azrael down the road.
 
For those hungry for any G.I. Joe news, Full Force youtube has a short vid showing pics of re-colored Classified Scarlett and vest Roadblock minus the stupid gold colors. Roadblock should have been reissued with normal boots, but I like the removal of the gold. Still not likely to buy these two. Scarlett isn't a classic paint job and her face seems to have more Photoreal paint apps. The first face was pretty, this re-do seems beautiful.

One Walmart here has a Classified vest Roadblock pegwarming for at least a few weeks. I wonder if it has doo doo stains on it.

Haven't read anything new since college except for the bits and pieces Marvel Unlimited puts up for free to non-subscribers. So I read a bunch of the beginning of an arc and no continuation.

What's screwy for old schoolers is they reset with a new issue #1 seemingly each year maybe.

Not gonna lie, I actually liked the freckled Scarlett.

Man! I'm going to have to hit Walgreens for that Silver Surfer with Mjolnir!
 
Nothing from today's Marvel Legends livestream for me to pre-order. Wondering if I should buy all black suit Prof X for some custom. I do like the Cyclops optic blast effect, but the costume is too weird and looks like this White Magneto's.

I'm hoping in the future Mando will get a better looking space ship. Never bought any TVC vehicles yet.

Interesting that Dan Yun revealed they will be releasing Cannonball's legs and sounded like maybe it'll come as a bonus part from something else. Big question is how do you take apart the blast effect part in lieu of legs? I'd rather have New Mutants original black and yellow costumes than X-Force version.

Seems like a wave that will only appeal to fans of the House of X/current storyline.


BAF is a Evangelion inspired Sentinel.

I can't imagine Hasbro re-using that Sentinel BAF tooling.

I wish Hasbro would re-issue past BAF parts but with different characters so if you passed due to not wanting a character, you could try again with a re-issue. I would like to finish the white suit Kingpin, but don't want the other characters and likely not able to buy new at decent price. Juggernaut also would be nice to have.

Also wondering what if to save costs, Hasbro sold figures unassembled but with all the proper paint applications? I'd go for that since they are pretty easy to put together. It'd probably save on packaging too.

Saw at Target full pegs of Cyborg Spidey, Negative Spidey, maybe black Vintage Jim Lee Storm, but the pegs for Rogue and Gambit were empty. It does seem like they are stocking more though.

Didn't see any Black Series Mando + Grogu Build Up Packs. Would have passed since already bought those individually w/o pram, Beskar blocks.

Was lucky to buy G.I. Joe Retro wave 2 Destro and Roadblock before they quickly sold out. (EDIT: Destro's chest is way too salmon pink like he got sunburn and Roadblock's hips and knees are quite loose, but he looks good. Too bad no ankle articulation or boot swivel. Destro's hips also too far apart like he's built for childbirth. Roadblock's vest was designed to be removable via peg and hole system closure.) Price here was a bit higher than online. Did see 2 H.I.S.S. tanks yesterday. I never paid attention to the newer releases the past several years, but am happy to be able to buy modern versions of G.I. Joe. I wish the waves were bigger so I'd get more results from a trip of hunting these.

Saw Hot Wheels Premium Mazda 787 Gran Turismo black and kinda regret passing. Hoping they'll release a $1 version.

If a Metal Gear Solid movie is on the way, I hope Hasbro gets the 6" action figure license.

A MGS x G.I. Joe crossover would be cool.

In my G.I. Joe Order of Battle comics I dug up, Rocky Balboa was a profiled G.I. Joe instructor, then next issue a retraction. Saw an article on Apple News the other day saying or heard on podcast that Hasbro withdrew the deal after Galoob or Coleco got the rights to make Rambo action figures. Rambo could have been a better G.I. Joe character addition.

Sony is moving forward with its Metal Gear Solid movie adaptation by reportedly casting Oscar Isaac as Solid Snake.

I think I saw Amazon.com had Asajj Ventress Force FX lightsaber with significant discount.

I did see they had G.I. Joe Classified Flint and Lady Jaye pre-order again, but all gone now.
