Mini Comic Wave 2

[NORM]

I don't think it matters. For the likes of Black Widow, Punisher, Cable, and a few others, it should always be an option.

For what it's worth, the original single carded grey Black Widow didn't come with trigger hands or firearms either. Personally, I don't associate this version of Romanov to use anything but her stinger bracelets. But I also didn't read the comics in which she appeared in this costume.

The new figure does not come with guns, so no trigger hands makes sense.

I was not complaining, just itemizing what she has and does not have, for the record.

The fists though. I use the fist as my Sting pose, so I think not having two is dumb.

But a lot about this wave is dumb.

Even if they (I didn't get Surfer) are bangers.

Norm is right though, I'm so used to Widow having a load out I also just expect it.

By this logic, why does Daredevil have a trigger finger?

 

[Schizm]

The new one? No idea. Trigger hands with no weapon make no sense to me - half of McFarlane's output look stupid with their trigger hands. Then again, most of McFarlane's figures' hands look terrible, so...

It is funny because the trigger hand holds the baton, And having just read the comic he is right-handed when he wields it. So that is correct for the figure.

But he does have a left holding hand which is for the comic, but you can also hold the stick there which I prefer because it looks more like a stick grip. But on the other hand, it's actually not meant to and has a slightly different shape so it doesn't fit it snugly.

I love this figure, though.

And if you have Punisher those hands are the same black with the same finish so the swaps work.

I see the logic in not including trigger hands if she has nothing to hold. But I also get why people would want the option, since the character typically holds weapons. I'd probably trade trigger hands for a pair of the effect bracers because as cool as they are, I never display effects permanently. What drives me nuts is not including a PAIR of any kind of hands. One fist? One open hand? That would drive me nuts.

And for all the comic hands, I can't get any Feral hand to hold a book.

How posable is Feral? I may have to rethink my entire X-Force display if I can't get her in a decent crouching pose.

It doesn't do what I would like, which I'm wagering is what you also hold in your head.

But she can hit this.

That doesn't look terrible...but compared to Marrow she looks like she just fell over from a standing pose. heh.

Thanks. I can probably make do with that...but if not, it gives me an excuse to rearrange.

To me, it seems like the upper torso has a different length ball joint or it sits differently, and that throws off the angle of being able to hit what Marrow does.

Even that new Beast can't hit the old Beast crouch. Or maybe he can and it just doesn't look as cool because of the proportions.

Man, I am SO tempted to buy another Wolfsbane and make Feral hairy like she should be. Why didn't they use those arms and legs? Only problem would be no hair on her torso.

 

[altcunningham]

It's the smoother Tigra parts.

Its very subtle, but she does have that purplish highlighting on the fur like the comic used to do.
