Storm shadow was my dream GI Joe I think I bought him at a toy fair but maybe I got him new. That white ninja suit with the hood and great camo was so dope. I loved snake eyes too.

Well , it was a good day today.
Daughter picked up from her work a Power Man for about £5 as it was discontinued and The Squadron Supreme for about £13 ( which I know nothing about TBF ) .
Then chuck her discount on them and they came out rather cheap.
I'll have to keep an eye out for Ironfist now , her shop sells the 2 pack but it's got to drop in price before I bite as I only want the one figure and I'm not entirely sold on the shape of the Ironfist top , would prefer it to be more of a V shape.

I know who Nighthawk is, but I've never heard of Blur. The speedster on the team was always The Whizzer or Speed-Demon.

Started out as the Squadron Sinister put together by the Grandmaster who challenged Death to a game in order to bring the Collector back to life (that might be reversed, been a while). Then they did a mini series with them on the alternate Earth they were from where they portray the team as the most direct, shameless, obvious rip off of the Justice Leage EVER.
^ That Lego puddle is Lego's way of upping the price by upping the piece count. There were times I wondered why they used two pieces when they had an existing piece that would have done the deed.
I feel like back in the day, few yrs ago, the ML Luke Cage would have been marked down to like $15 or so by now.

I don't know about you, but I gots to be using reading glasses, so bigger Classified is easier to see than 3.75" o-ring, but I still can appreciate the better sculpts of the new Super7 ReAction+ and besides, finally got me a V2 Snake Eyes that I never could find as a kid.

The Max Squad book was a great read and is more serious and dark. “Whizzer” certainly wouldn’t have worked and Blur is the best outta all the JLA “knock off” types.
Every character is fleshed out more by Straczynski’s writing and Frank's art is phenomenal.
Really made Squadron Supreme one of my favorite Marvel teams.. well THIS Squad.
This Hyperion is bad ass, Nighthawk is bad ass, everyone is bad ass.

I never read the series, but I knew that they had done a MAX version of the Squadron. Even in the 616 universe Hyperion was generally portrayed as a badass.

Well, I'm on a week's leave next week and am dog sitting my daughter's dog after she's spayed so I can use that as an excuse to read up the series....

It isn't on Marvel.com if you were wondering. They can't put any mature content on the website or they would have to have different parameters for entering the site that would put them with things like porn sites.

King Hyperion killed every single superhero on Earth. He's basically an alternate Marvel universes' "Superboy Prime".
GREAT figure BTW.

I bought a few of those Marvel series 2 minifigs and those are the exact 5 I got.. Hawkeyes, Beast, She-Hulk, & fish tank Moon Knight.
Well, my Magneto 97 ML turned up today along with my SW Lego Tantive 4.
Had a feeling that I was going to get the " Sorry but for reasons outside our control"email....
Nope , took them ages to actually get the order put through but it arrived.
The Magneto is close enough to "my" Magneto or how I see him in my mind from growing up with the X-Men.... there's the family ties box set but I've got Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver versions I'm happy with....
Anyway, they're going in the Christmas pile as my wife never knows what to get me ....
