Now I’m torn. If I preorder these, I can never question Hasbro’s price structure again, and I love questioning Hasbro’s price structure.

The FOMO is starting to kick in with Spider-Man. The hype train just keeps building momentum. This may be a “Buy First, Then Decide” purchase for me.

Loose Collector Youngblood Figures I am all in for this.

I’ve been expecting that jump for quite some time now. Honestly, I would prefer $30 single carded figures to many of these other options. I’m more about the core figure than all the bells and whistles, but there’s plenty of room for both.

$39.99 for Strong Guy seems fair, at least by today’s standards. Pulse must not be feeling very optimistic about China giving the U.S. magnets.

I think it’s a fantastic representation of the source material and a damn cool Spider-Man in general, but this is no different than the Maximum Spider-Man for me. No matter how great of a figure it is, I’m just not interested in paying a premium for yet another Spider-Man. Don’t think of it...

That’s basically my dream Marvel Legends release…a box set of the Wasp in her most iconic George Perez designed costumes.

I’m going to agree with Stoopid Sandwich and say Elektra. You’re not going to get me to pony up $50 for yet another Rogue, Storm, Jean Gray or Black Widow, but with Elektra, you have a shot. All things being equal, the less often I see a character in figure form, the more I’m going to be...

I was 38 and now I’m one year away from being in my fucking 60s. 2004 - 21 years ago. Wow.

My Lightray went bad pretty quickly, but I sold both him and Metron off years ago. Aztec! I will never hear that character’s name without thinking of Piffy. Is he over here?

That’s a great Top 10 list! Mera and the Rogues were in my Top Ten as well. I also remember Johnny Thunder, the Thunderbolts, and the original Mr. Terrific being n there. Sadly, the ABS plastic on some of my figures has become discolored, most notably Jay Garrick and the Spectre. I don’t...

I think we all did. That came out of nowhere. I remember just sitting there stunned on that Friday afternoon in 2011 after the Mattel DC panel just ended. “WTF just happened?!?” No one saw it coming. Depending on who you talk to, either sales weren’t good, or sales were fine and Warner...

Two solid reveals that should make a lot of fans happy. I’m guessing that the rumored X-Men ‘97 Havok and Polaris will be in their X-Factor costumes. I wonder if they have any plans to do another X-Factor Multiple Man?

Things moved very quickly once I invoked the Rantcantation. I knew Pulse would be susceptible to its power, but I’m surprised that FedEx was as well. Just over 48 hours later, and it’s out for delivery.

Am I the only one that wants an Exiles Mimic? 1 Mimic (Exiles) 2 Nocturne (Exiles) 3 Rogue (Shi’ar) 4 Gambit (Shi’ar) 5 Psylocke (Outback) 6 Angel (Adams) 7 Beast (Adams) 8 Beast (Perez) 9 Polaris (Shi’ar Costume) 10 Cannonball (Madureira) Box Set: X-Men First Class I pretty much have all of...

Sadly, I still remember that from our time on Critical Mass. That was definitely one of our low points as an online community as a whole.

This is probably the most compelling argument in the Maximum line’s favor, and I feel like it’s a legitimate point. Our hobby had been so straightforward for so long: This is a line. This is a wave. There are this many figures in the wave. This is what each figure in the wave comes with...

I may or may not be one of the few that you’re referring to, but if I am, that’s fair. I will be the first to admit that I have a proclivity for negativity. It’s not one of my more endearing personality traits, but it’s part of who I am, and I accept that. I think people in general tend to be...

I almost have to admire Hasbro for their sheer audacity. Having said that, I don’t begrudge anyone that orders one. I’m sure we’ve all paid a lot more for a lot less at one point or another.

I just got my shipping notice. Works every time!

Please excuse me for a moment. I just need to leverage the tried and true “Bitch about it and ye shall receive” axiom. When am I going to get the shipping notice from Pulse for my Savage Land set?!? I got an e-mail a week ago saying to be sure my shipping address and payment method were...

I’m dying for a Red She-Hulk. I never liked the one we got, but I did like the 3.75” version.

I totally get that. When there’s a figure that hits all the right notes for you, it’s hard to leave it sitting on the pegs, even if you already have one (or more).

We Marvel Legends fans are known for being notoriously hard to please, yet the recently released figure we seem to be the happiest with is FF She-Hulk which may be one of the simplest figures they’ve released this year. I think there are some lessons to be learned here if Hasbro is paying...
