    X-Men '97

    That's what I mean - they're basically admitting defeat right from the start. Including Magik as a cameo in season 1 is them saying that she's never gonna be a real character in this show, which just seems like throwing in the towel too early. There's no good reason why this show couldn't run...

    X-Men '97

    Exactly why I hated the way the '70s era costumes were included in the first season. It feels like they want to speed-run every iconic look the characters have ever had, regardless of whether it fits them as they are in the series. Costume changes should feel special and earned and should last...

    Skurge the Executioner BAF Wave

    Yeah the height on that figure has always annoyed me, especially after they re-scaled most female characters to be shorter right after that. Carol Danvers getting height-mogged by Kitty Pryde lmao.

    Operation Monster Force

    All of public domain fiction is quite a wide net for a line. I'm assuming it won't go any earlier than the gothic/romantic periods, maybe the 1600s at the very earliest? I certainly wouldn't mind some civilian types from the renaissance through to Victorian eras. Been wanting a prince Prospero...

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Something about their shin bones make them bow outwards horribly if left standing with any weight on them, worse even than the old Hasbro female figures with the pinned knees. At least the 2 I have can't really be displayed without a stand, even without all their other joint problems. I think...

    Magic the Gathering Legends

    Yeah my Morlun figure rarely comes out of storage bcause he's just so unimposing on that body. I've been hoping they would remake him on the Tombstone body.

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Exactly why I prefer stuff like Boss Fight and Savage Crucible over Frazetta Girls, despite the usually superior aesthetics. The Norseman figure's hair and helmet fly across the room the second I pick him up, and Vampirella's torso and leg articulation doesn't even let her do the pose from the...

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Maybe it was just because I was prepared to be disappointed with their Red Sonja after those rough production sample photos and those crappy skeletons, but she kinda did blow me away. There are minor nitpicks obviously, but she's second only to Savage Crucible in terms of my favourite fantasy...

    Well... i guess I'm cancelling my Battle of the Black Stone Conan.

    Operation Monster Force

    At least the bare midriff from the concept art seems to be gone in the new render. Guessing the shoulders are still bare but hard to tell without colour. Shame the slightly more realistic armoured vest from the concept art was replaced with high-tech boob armour.

    General Marvel Legends

    Holy shit, more re-use for the hulk baby mould! Or they stick adult Sequioa in with classic Swordsman and Mantis just to make nobody happy.

    General Marvel Legends

    Hell, I was raised in a sect that doesn't believe in the crucifix or the trinity/Nicene creed but still identify as Christian lmao. Anyway, I hope they stop doing the bare minimum with the classic avengers releases. I passed on so many of them despite wanting the characters because they just...

    General Marvel Legends

    Not to get too into the weeds of religious history, but most Christians are perfectly okay with using imagery and physical representations of religious figures in their worship. The distinction they make with the false idol thing is whether the object itself is believed to have any inherent...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    Great work, that's gotta be it 100%. Boots, earring, hooked scabbard, loincloth, forearm bands all match. He's even in this pose in the teaser picture. And it fits the criteria of being a preexisting character that's never had an action figure.

    Operation Monster Force

    I love this line but I really find it hard to justify plain, moderately articulated generic dudes for such high prices. Like, I catch myself saying I should get the General to stand in for General Ross on my non-existent Hulk shelf, even though if Hasbro made a Thunderbolt Ross I wouldn't even...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    The plume + sword combination is giving Landsknecht vibes, but sadly the lack of puffy sleeves and trousers goes against that. Wave 3 is all fish people so I'm not expecting any in wave 4.

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    Yeah it honestly bothers me that I can't figure it out. Flesh eater is my best guess but there's a lot going against it, mainly the gauntlets, boots and fact that they've had at least one action figure before. The knife, hairstyle, loincloth and earring all work well enough for a flesh eater...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    I'm sure he painted more archers than he did befeathered flamberge-wielders and lizard-men, unless there's some of his work I'm severely unaware of. It is strange that there isn't an obvious answer considering those criteria though. I upped the contrast a bit and was able to kinda make out a...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    They said the Frazetta figure would be someone who has never had an action figure before, which rules out a few characters like Kull and Tarzan. With how they've worded it I'm not sure if it's an original Frazetta character or not, as bragging about it being a first time action figure is weird...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    Can anyone tell me if the new Urzokk has the same skin tone as the Poxxus wave Tharnog? From what I can see in photos and reviews it looks like Tharnog has a slightly lighter, warmer green than Urzokk's, or is that just a difference in lighting and cameras?

    Skurge the Executioner BAF Wave

    For the Pacific theater I was actually thinking of the Madripoor backstory with Black Widow and Captain America, which is set in WWII but apparently Logan wasn't even in the military in that story.

    Skurge the Executioner BAF Wave

    The only thing specific on the wiki is the Canadian Army (Devil's Brigade, 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion), which was apparently mentioned in a Wolverine: Origins comic. Off the top of my head I was pretty sure he appeared in the Pacific and European sides of the war but I can't remember any...

    If anyone is interested, the translation is: "BAPTIZED IN BLOOD FORGED IN CRUELTY SKARN FIGHTS WITH COLD, COILED PRECISION" This is definitely a tease for that barbarian that was leaked from China. You can see the tattoo in the photo.

    Skurge the Executioner BAF Wave

    Most of his predictions about the mini-comic wave seem more likely than that image that Marvelous News used, but wouldn't it be weird to get a Frank Miller style black costume Daredevil when we're supposedly getting the YFNSM version pretty soon too? They're just similar enough that I would have...
