I had the EXACT same thought! I saved so many of those things when I was a kid to give to figures! My mom was convinced I'd poke my eye out with them (insert Christmas Story joke here), so she'd always throw them away, but I'd just grab another couple the next time we went to a restaurant that had them!

I used to collect them from my parents who would bring them back from restaurants they'd go to. My Kenner Robin Hood line and others profited from them.

Of course this was the mid 80s when Sizzler was considered a reasonably nice "sit down restaurant." And Chuck E. Cheese wasn't an open biohazard pit.
 
Those cocktail swords break easy. But I too kept them for figures and used them till they snapped. I don't know too many young kids with figures who wouldn't.

And transparent weapons when 3d printed are very fragile. Feels like it'll break too, unless you're careful. Maybe someone will make a print of one though and we can use it for display purposes. Although just a glowing white could work too according to the art, something akin the Kylo Rens 1st lightsaber from TFA, the one with the removable blade.

I picked up Hypno-Hustler and Owl yesterday at Wal-Mart. Hypno Hustler is such a fun, colorful figure. Whereas Owl is almost a bland, average seeming figure. They couldn't feel more opposite but they both absolutely work for what they are supposed to be, and I like both figures a lot.

I think that's all I need from this waving having got Cardiac already. And now I'm ready for Grizzly to go up for order.

Hey, that recent Retro Card Mysterio that came out, that is based on the Animated Series. Was that a Wal-Mart exclusive in the US?

Yes, latest retro Mysterio is Walmart exclusive.
 
Idk what to do with the Owl that comes w/Owl... you can't mount it on his arm or shoulder... not without some poster tack!

seems like a waste. But I agree Hypno Hustler is fun!
 
Target is so weird. The first target I went to today had a solid case of just Uncanny Nightrawler Spidey and nothing else. The second Target that I went to had 2 solid cases of Spidey 2099 and nobody else. Solid cases of a single figure make no sense.

You know, I'm looking at it close and it's really not that detailed of a nose. I see no nostrils. It's kind of a hump, but it's definitely more than what was drawn in the comics. I'm not going to mess with it. If I try to shave it off and I mess up there's no going back. I'm just gonna live with it.

Robo took a Dremel bit and lightly sanded down the nose and it looks much better. He said it didn't take much either.

I may do that with the one I found a Walmart at some point.
 
Re: the single figure cases - EB Games up in Canada shipped out the Uncanny Nightcrawler of my complete wave order and that's it... definitely the one I was least looking forward to. I guess it's a nice enough figure made of kitbashed parts - just not sure a costume Kurt wore for a mini-series is must-have material for me. This could have been so many other essential releases comprised entirely of a re-used body and new head. Spider-Woman on one of the updated female bodies instantly springs to mind.

Yeah, I noticed the rest got kicked to February. Was able to resecure Miguel with a call to my store.

I initially ordered 2 (and got rid of my Pizza Spidey body releases), and it's the one I'm most looking forward to.

Same. They cancelled me on the site last night when Kurt shipped.

I liked the Kurt story well enough and want to slap an unmasked head on from the comic version. But now you have me thinking I could have had an updated Jessie Drew and now I'm sad.

Annnd you sent me running to double check my own pre-order. How/why did they cancel your 2099s?

It COULD have been any number of characters in that spot which were low tooling - and I was just looking at the 2 Pack Jessica Drew on my shelves, which is essentially the exact same as the first Hasbro release - thinking to myself "a new Spider-Woman would have made a lot more sense and maybe peg warmed a little less." Happy for people who read that Uncanny Spider-Man mini and found themselves really dying for that version of Nightcrawler. Me personally, I have no attachment to it, so it's sort of a meh figure on my selves now.
