Should he be bald?I only say because the same hair pieces are in both the Zemo sets, suggesting an alternate human look for the Nova Corpse. Thanks for posting! So, this is a Nova figure after the Annihilation series? It is from before. Not sure which was worse the really bad pun or you missing it totally... T.

What. The. HO@UTG#OGEIHB:LI@HD)*@T)@*^%E)@(&@_. The FLAGSHIP TRU in NYC still doesn't have them and I was told that eh. Maybe they will skip this wave. THE FLAGSHIP STORE.

Bendis has extreme highs and lows. This was a low. Nuff said.

Caveat: I will be buying this set. That being said, I kind of hate it. I never got into Angela or Image but man what a great custom fodder for a She-Ra minimate or a Dani Moonstar Valkryie. I was OK with my custom Nick (old Nick head, new hair, on SHIELD body) so I didn't feel that needed an update. I have a butt load of Tony and this new Ultron is the only thing I find interesting. So I feel like a comic collector in the 90's. I will buy it but I hate it. But then again I hated Age of Ultron as well.

Thunderbolts should get a bucket. Weirdly, in my mind I group them in with the Avengers since they started off as The Masters of Evil in disguise.

Wow.... I think my toysrus thinks the same..... Mine may take out a restraining order... Thanks for the photos. I agree this isn't a line I was PSYCHED about but they did a great job of brining it to life. And is it just me or does Wanda always just have ugly not practicle costumes?

Funny enough I wasn't counting Scarlet Spidey but Penance is Speedball so there are currently 5 and Vance would make 6. Although I would still pose Cloak iwth them regardless of his 10 second affiliation with the team.

As a comic-book character CB probably came at a bad time for me...."I'm far too old for comic books now " . I never really got into the pipe-smoking Merlinesque , ( ???) quintessential , English stereotypical Brit that is f*ck all like any reality character I could ever relate to . However................... Captain Britain deserves far better than what we have received thus far from the Asylum . I can't think of two more disappointing minimates & I don't even feel any affinity to the character ! TBT gave me a custom of a rampant Lion version years ago...cherished Tim cherished Aww CB isn't THAT bad as a Mini. He just needs a bigger chest piece but besides taht the Excalibur one is ok. I can think of other minimates that have been done dirtier.

I hate this topic... just the idea of putting this out in the universe guts me. 60's Marvel Girl / Vance Astro Marvel Boy Banshee / Sunfire Black Knight / TIgra Crystal /Ronan This way I get 3 of my favorite Avengers, complete the Uncanny relaunch team, and have a quartet of New Warriors.

Here’s my thought process: First we have to divide the characters into buckets. If we are talking the franchises we have: Fantastic Four (Power Pack, Inhumans*, etc.) Avengers (New, Mighty, Young, et al.) Thor (Hercules, Asgard, Olympus, etc.) Ironman Captain America (Timely Comics, All Winners, Invaders) Spider-Man (Silver Sable, Black Cat, Venom, etc.) Hulk Namor (Yes, Regina we are trying to make Fetch happen) X-Men (Uncanny through X-Babies) Wolverine (sure he’s an X-Man but he is his own machine churning out Alpha Flight, Lady Deathstrike, etc) Dr. Strange (most magic) Cosmic Defenders (Silver Surfer, GOTG, Quasar, Infinity Watch, Space Heroes) Marvel Knights aka the street heroes (Daredevil, Moebius, Black Panther, Heroes for Hire, Moon Knight, Punisher, Cloak & Dagger, Ghost Rider, etc.) Where sticking points lie are the cross character/world books. For example is Namor really a franchise or is he an Avenger, FF, X-Men or is Daredevil a franchise and Marvel Knights live under him? New Warriors has connections to every corner (Night Thrasher – Marvel Knights, Nova – Cosmic Defenders & Fantastic Four, Namorita – Namor & Fantastic Four, Speedball – Spider-Man, Firestar – Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men, Marvel Boy/Justice – Avengers, Cosmic Defenders, and Fantastic Four.) Runaways is the “spirit” sister of New Warriors bringing in all of the corners of the MU. Titles like Cloak & Dagger started in Spidey, drifted into the Warriors, X-Men, and the Knights which are basically the street heroes. Based off of characters I would say that surprisingly, The X-Men are still neglected considering the sheer amount of spin-off titles that have been associated with the franchise. X-Men can also be argued to be Marvel's main franchise especially for a good 20-25 year chunk. I would rank Avengers second missing staples like the Masters of Evil, several members of their lineup, Young Avengers, and connections to space heroes. Third would be the Cosmic Defenders no GOTG, Genis, Eternals, MoonDragon, Pip, etc. Four Spider-Man Villans factory. Then Thor. That being said, my love is the Teen heroes set and i would be happy if I finally got my New Warriors completed. We have a Firestar, Cloak, Dagger, Nova, Penance (if I have to ). I would could live with that if I got a four pack set of Marvel Boy, Night Thrasher, Speedball, and Nita. Sure Rage and Sil are missing and I need an updated Firestar but at least I got one.

I just wish that the stripes were a little thinner so taht more variety could be seen on it. I was thinking of using a toybiz Banshee Or a Gen X Banshee But defacing either of them made my soul cry.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. As requested here is the back of Siyrn's cape. I have Banshee as well in the Blue X-Men uniform but waiting for a hair piece to come in. I hand stitched both but will probably go back over them with a machine whenever I get around to hemming some pants. I also did a loop on the cape for the arms and the head to keep the in position.

THanks guys! I will take more photos from the back of Siyrn so you can see the back. Basically one panel of the ML Banshee made two capes. Just waiting for the right hair piece so I can finish her Dad. Continuing red head week though I realized I hadn't posted my updated MJ. She is hanging in my office and just having a blast. I used a few ladies for her but the head and hair are from the original. The main part of the body is Maya from IM3. Lastly I stole Julia's denim skirt to give it more of a MJ feel. I started trying to make this version using Lady Deathstrike legs, Cowboy Wolvie boots, but I didn't find a black top that "worked" and that gave her a feminine shape.

Well, I just took a turn creating another version of Siyrn using the standard formula: 90's Rogue chest and crotch, First Appearence Doom legs and arms, Cyclops provided the rest except I used movie MJ face and hair. I also decided to try cloth and took a ML Banshee figure and cut the cape, re-sewed it and attached it to her. Thoughts?

NYC is ending up with a big ole goose egg.

Hey guys: Went to y inlaws for a few days and driving cross country. Saw nothing in WI, IL, and will be checking PA in the morning before heading to the 7th level of hell known as TRU Time's Square...

So who do we need to sleep with to get them to release a special set for the new Flashpoint movie?

Even I got this.

I'd be able to deal with getting another Spider-Man or Venom to get a Carnage, Doppleganger, or Demogoblin. Not to be a brat, but Firestar was in Maxium Carnage enough to even get into the video game....

Prototyping... so we will see real figures instead of the drawings this time around?

I just keep praying that they can get the license to make this guy at 8 inches and that frees up another slot for somebody else since odds are we will only see 2 waves of these.

There is something to that though. I am not excited about Emma and Piotr because to be frank I like the costumes of Magik and Namor more. I would love an X-Men wave to finish off teams: Namor/Magik (with Namor having accessories to put him in his X-Men costume); Sunfire & Banshee, FC Beast/X-Factor Angel Varient & Danger. That finishes off three teams there with P5, Extinition, and Giant Sized line ups complete. Banshee and Sunfire's completion actually gives a complete line up from Uncanny 94 - Uncanny 138. Add Kitty (Sprite) and Lorna in her crazy purple costume and we make it up to 171when Rogue joined and Carol left.

I would rather paint over my First Class Angel than waste time trying to get that damned thing. I just use Archangel. Warren started wearing that costume in the late teens of X-Factor until the end of the Fall of the Mutants when they all were wearing their "new duds" with the colors just swapped out.

Amen.
