Skurge the Executioner BAF Wave

Not to retread this conversation but this succinct sentence sums how how I've felt about MLs since ~2023's Avengers subline. I realize this conversation is more about past and future figures that "go together" but just the mindset that Hasbro can and will string you along for years and then throw the last figure you need into a multipack or exclusive (or just not make it at all) is diabolical. If these things were priced fairly it would be one thing, but as figures approach $35 after tax, nah, I'm not taking chances or expecting anything positive.

It was painful getting over Teams. Having Feral now, after Shatterstar dropped in 2017. 2017. I long ago decided figures pre-2020 just don't aesthetically work for me anymore side by side with new stuff. And I did sell off all my ancillary teams I gave up on.

But then they go and start to finish them, or remain inconsistent on reissues and timing, and it starts to yank at my brain.

But no. I'm not going to feel bad that I got rid of figures in In 2021 that started in 2017, and only now in 2025, October, did you start throwing me bones again. It's bad enough with people in the dating scene. I don't need Hasbro throwing me Heyyyy in figure form.

Closure.

It super duper doesn't matter, but Ulik is actually a Wal-Mart exclusive (in the US at least). I kept the tab open on his order page for what must have been 18 months waiting on a sale since I already had the box set version. Even having the original he's a great figure.

Huh...that's odd because I have a distinct memory of buying him at Target. Maybe I'm misremembering? Maybe senility is setting in earlier than I expected? I don't know. I guess I should just be happy I have a cool Ulik figure in my collection!
 
I would bet on a Hela + Executioner 2 pack coming within the next 2 years. Maybe it's just copium but the fact that they went so hard on the deluxe Odin tells me they will be getting around to more Asgardian stuff relatively soon. Annoying that we need updates/rereleases of Sif, Valkyrie and Hela before we're likely to get new characters like the Warriors Three. I wonder if they would consider doing Ymir, a generic frost giant, or a comic style Surtur through the made-to-order format?

Maybe he made his way into Target somehow! He is a troll after all.

Boom, and that’s a sale. Having the convention version, I never picked up the rerelease, but for less than $20 I just jumped on that.

I was really surprised how much I liked him when I got him - he stayed a desk figure for a few months. Just one of those cool, semi-obscure Marvel characters that got made into a solid figure that reminds me why I love ML every time I look at him. Definitely worth picking up for $20!
