It’s weird. Every review starts by saying how damn big he is. And still, upon opening him I was instantly struck by quite how damn big he is… I may rig a bent girder for him to clutch, as per his opening animation. I’m also modding his power effect to sit on his head - it’s a decent size for...

He’s a frustrating pose - I was doing my usual Gamerverse ‘try to recreate some of the sprite’s poses’ game, and he’s making barely any. His hips and ankles don’t even allow for much of a walking/charging stance. Buuuut, given all my figures end up on shelf in fairly vanilla poses, his heft and...

Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy would be huge wants for me. I could live without Moon Girl, but if they’re doing a set anyway, packing both in would be the best bet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Around 10-11 inches and MTO would be the sweet spot for this guy, and I’d probably pick him up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn. Been out Friday night drinkin’ and ordered the wave when I got home (need to surrender my phone at the door). Managed to get an order in at £131ish, so I reckon I can shift the unwanteds at less than face value to still make it reasonable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, the tease is the rockets, not the hammer. Given the quantities, it’s giving me Gamerverse vibes. Looks like something a character would shoot out in a stream in some side scrolling fighter. Unless you only get one teeny tiny rocket, which would be a bit lame. Sent from my iPhone using...

They’ve kinda fudged it - there’s a nose shape, but no definition on nostrils and so on. The source art doesn’t seem to have a nose at all, but I’m not sure that makes much sense! Suppose they could have gone for a less defined shape but still had some kind of bulge there. You’re right though -...

Interesting that Cardiac and Miguel go up for pre order on the 29th Oct. If they are being released as part of a full wave, I wonder that means we get the other figures revealed at MCM London (which is a few days earlier)? Come on Hypno Hustler… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh sure, Martinex would slap way harder. But this is still a new to 6” character and I gotta respect that. I’d buy him twice if it meant I could skip that damn Iron Man. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I initially thought I could skip that Iron Man (what an ugly costume) and find an axe from elsewhere (LCBH Conan, most likely). But then they went and packed the head in there too. Bah. On the other hand, GI Logan just became skippable. Sorry soldier. Still excited by Amora, Jack, Warbow and...

The Inhumans look great. So happy with that Medusa costume - she’ll fit great in a Frightful Four line up too. Crazy how the team has gone from inadequate to pretty much done in the space of a year. Just a classic Maximus and I’m all good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like Vermin could be a lock for a future wave - they made a point of mentioning that WBN would be a good body for customisers, “or we could just make him”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

47 for that? It’s like they’re allergic to sales… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed, but it’s an easy enough fix. He’s a cool looking figure regardless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Of all the MTO options speculated about, this was the one I cared the very least about, so I’m kinda bummed by it. I’ve never felt the need to own Apocalypse at any more than 1/12 scale - never picked up the Toybiz one, even when he was dirt cheap. Saves me some money, I guess. Mangog waits...
