There was never a mutant armor colossus. The 5” X-Men line had: -Power-Lift Colossus (with the barbell) -Puzzle Zoo’s “Hall of Fame” Colossus (Just the —Power Lift with a red and black repaint) -“Marvel Universe” Colossus (the same as puzzle zoo’s on a different card. -Battle Brigade Super...

Yea, I really want that Beast Boy too. Can’t believe that version went exclusive to like one random booth at SDCC so far. Still a little peeved the Teen Titans cartoon Cyborg got made in series one of this line and we never saw another. McFarlane going bananas with the chase-variant-gold...

I got a Walmart e-mail telling me to double check my address and my payment methods since they’re prepping the War Machine/Omega Red 2 pack. Just says they’re preparing for it to get to me by August 11th. Maybe they’ll eventually get around to that Gamerverse Spirit Spider or the ‘77 Spidey...

Think it was Resilient, not me. I always thought they cut in weirdly but I’m not the biggest fan of forward rotating butterfly joints in general. Once a figure has a big shoulder it’s just game over for that pec sculpt.

Yea, I’m in CA and their releases are either far before I’m awake or right in the middle of my classes. There’s only so many times a year I can tell 2nd period to take a break at exactly 9:58 before they start getting suspicious.

Yea, 23 years’ll do that. Even JJJ on a decent card’s probably worth $30-$50 now too. It’s crazy that the Spideys were overpacked so hard for those two movies, available in huge numbers everywhere, and ended up that expensive.

There was no variant of ML5 Colossus.

Those retro carded Iron Man and War Machine figures are my favorite carded ML. That line was the peak of the 5” Toybiz stuff for me. I loved the chromed out armor and the cardbacks were just a lot more striking than the other lines had. The line maintained great consistency and got so much of...

Usually I’d be all for a new sculpt but animated Beast’s screen accurate fur looked kinda weird on Iron Studio’s statue. The DST bust just kind of ignored the fur other than a few shoulder tufts but those looked even more out of place with perfectly smooth arms. I think I’d prefer they just do...

Yea, Serpentor came back as a preorder like Mindbender. I missed the first but got the preorder on both of those. I don’t know if it was really in waves or MTO that he came back in stock. I just think he got two preorder windows that also sold out kinda fast.

I got no problem with the model or reselling, but I just wouldn’t say it’s somehow going to flip the script on the aftermarket. It’s as fair as anything else and it gets unshelvable product made.

I wouldn’t say inverting….more like exacerbating. Like, when I had a kid and bought a house and Hasbro wanted $300 up front a year ahead of time for a HISS tank, I wasn’t feeling it. Fans or scalpers almost doubling Hasbro’s goal dampened the price all the way down to somewhere between...

I was just under the impression that those would’ve grown in place if the adamantium hadn’t been there to stop the growth, not that the bone claws were coated with it. Sort of like his healing factor was suppressed by the adamantium so he could recover from even more damage without it. Logan’s...

I like the idea we’re getting more Hulks, but I’m gonna be pissed if Doc Samson costs the same as Hulk. I mean, that was true for the Foom wave but the small guys also had huge BAF pieces. If it’s more of a theme than a wave that’s solid though. Like this year they did a surprising amount of...

I was going to order 2 but I think I was trying to downsize buying or something last year so I must’ve just gotten 1 and called it quits. Got enough work just trying to find time to sell off my triples, quadruples, and so on anyways. Does look like buying 2 would’ve covered the whole cost if you...

Brings me back to the old days when you could spot just piles and piles of battle-damaged Spider-Man Classics and Tobey Maguire Spideys at KBToys. I think they stuck around until they ordered all the ML1 Toads or something. It was funny to see this figure announced and realize how long it’s...

How did you know it needed a signature at all? Mine shipped with fedex but there’s no mention of needing to sign in their app or their site. I don’t think hasbro’s ever bothered with getting signature confirmation on anything I’ve ordered.

They always give Crossbones shitty reused guns. It’s a tradition. They gave classic Crossbones 2 sets even though he used a crossbow.

Yea, they did have a surprising range of bodies from Starting Lineup to reuse for the rest of them. They’re gonna have to use Steph Curry to make sure we don’t have anybody fighting about another Wolverine that’s too tall.

I was really surprised he wasn’t all reissue. But I was even more surprised when I compared the two and he was entirely new aside from possibly the hands and feet.

Did they let you buy past the 2 limit or had you only ordered one the first time?

Yea, the aftermarket for SDCC was basically just a given when you didn’t attend since they didn’t tell you when the things would go up. They’d take awhile to figure out what hadn’t sold out then put them up. Usually somebody’d help me out anyways, but I remember being kinda chuffed at paying...

Finally opened my Shanna/Rogue/Sauron set. Shanna’s probably the most clothed the character’s ever been. She’s a far more functional figure than the last one in terms of articulation and the sculpt’s way leaner. Most of her parts are the Shriek body but she got new boots and a new upper torso...

I’m surprised at how long Cold Slither stuck around. Every other Classified exclusive seemed like one of the first things gone and it seemed like it was only up for a fraction of a second this morning and whenever that first window was.

Did they e-mail you to do that?
