Wasn’t planning on it, but I found and bought classic Deathstroke today. I saw the variant as well, but I left it there. The eye is looking a little toward the left, but you can’t notice it unless you’re holding the figure right in front of your face.

I’ll probably get WBN(depending on the version), Enchantress, and Iceman. I would get Skurge if he was a a single, but I’m not buying several figures I don’t want to complete one that I do.

Personally I would love DC Legends from Mattel. I might actually buy some of them. If they lean heavy into new looks/characters, I’ll probably be done.

Yeah, I’ll have to be on the lookout for that Guardian.

Thanks. I passed on the previous one, and she’s a little pricey now. I never got a notification that this thread had updated.

I was planning on getting this, but if it’s that expensive I might pass. This set is by no means a must-have.

Strong no on Penance. Yes to any and all versions of Sabra. Doctor Demonicus is a *possible.* No thanks on PPP. Yes to first picture version of Nekra. Yes to Blonde Phantom. No to the Chitauri.

Back in X-Factor, he got a power boost at some point (I think Loki was involved). It was so extreme he couldn’t control his powers. I think the belt helped to keep his power at a level he could manage.

Welp, guess I won’t have a Skurge. The only two figures I *might* get from this wave are Enchantress and Werewolf by Night. Hopefully they release Skurge later as a stand-alone Deluxe figure.

Good guys: 1. Beast-Perez 2. Beast-Human, X-Factor 3. Kitty-Training costume 4. Iceman-Amazing Friends 5. Bobby Drake-powered down 6. Shard 7. Psylocke-Outback 8. Sage-X-Treme X-Men 9. Silver Fox 10.Wolverine-Laura Bad Guys: 1. Magneto-Jim Lee, buff 2. Goblyn Queen-classic, or as...

I’ll get Rachel, of course, and maybe Beast depending on which version it is.

I haven’t read the whole thread, but does anyone know if we’re getting a Super Friends-based Wonder Woman?

Or the CEO whose stated goal was to increase profits by fleecing collectors.

I didn’t know they were reissuing Cyclops. I already have one, but might get an extra if I see one.

So if I’m understanding this correctly, the more offensive origin, with his mother being a prostitute, born in the opium den, etc… this is the more recent one? I hope so, because I tend to ignore modern retcons of classic origins/stories.

I got Superboy, Spoiler/Batgirl, and NML Batman from BBTS today. I love Steph and Batman, Kon-El is ok. I found the variant NML Batman at one GameStop, but he had a paint flaw on his face that I couldn’t overlook. If I find another I’ll buy it, but I actually like the regular version better! I...

But what is stereotypical about that look? You give him a manicure, and nothing about that costume is stereotypically Chinese. It’s pure SA goofiness. Switching gears: I’ve got errands to run today. I haven’t had much chance to hit any stores lately, so I’m going to do some toy hunting. Wish...

He’s not one of my favorite characters, but he is pretty important to the Iron Man mythos. So I’m probably one-and-done with him. And the modern version won’t do it for me. If I never get a more classic version, then so be it.

I thought his mother was an English aristocrat? Of course I only looked it up on Wikipedia. I could easily be mistaken. Huh. The entries on marvel fandom and Wikipedia give completely different accounts of his early life.

Do we know his actual name? Or is there an alias he uses a lot? I wonder what they could call him, if they didn’t want to use “Mandarin?” Also, I personally would like Dracula to be based on Colan’s art/Jack Palance. If they deviated too much from that, I’m not sure I would buy it.

I don’t know. I guess that’s a valid argument, but just speaking for myself, I don’t think I’ve ever thought that just because one example of a group acted a certain way, that every member of that group acted the same. And the goofiness was part of my point with that costume. Surely that...

I have to admit, I don’t understand this. One Chinese person is evil, so they all are? I feel the same way about this that I do with RTD changing Davros in Doctor Who, thinking that Davros being in something that looked like a wheelchair meant that people in wheelchairs were evil.

Yeah the old one does need an update. I didn’t pay attention to the recent (I think?) version because I don’t care for that look at all. I would absolutely love a new version based on Colan’s art from Tomb of Dracula though!

Oh well. Thanks.

That was a thought I had. Hopefully a classic version, because didn’t we just get the modern version pretty recently?
