Mysterious Stranger

I found these in L.A. yesterday while picking up prescriptions. They had 2 sets on the shelf on a separate shelf tag from the comic sets which were right next to them. So these might be coming in under a different SKU than the comic/animated sets. Same price just a different description on the tags. Movie Assortment or something, I forget.

All the current John Wick merchandise is based on the second film. Honestly, other than new characters, there isn't much difference in the looks between the three films. So does it really matter that the logo on the package (that most of us are going to throw away) is from the second film?

No, only the one head. We tried to get alternate expressions for the 2-pack, but we would have had to order 3000 instead of 500, which was too many for us. We are very happy to be able to have gotten these 500.

So... mini sticker set of some alternate expressions?

Saw these two sets on BBTS. They might work with Minimates, not that we have any Mario 'mates but could be fun for others.

Alien Day is Friday. What are the odds we’ll see something announced or released that day?

I would have gladly double-dipped on a Bishop/Ferro 2-pack (or in some other 2-pack configuration) and the dropships. But I'm in the minority.

The really frustrating thing about this is the line had great momentum and then it just stopped. Granted TRU closing had a large part of that but when we were just 1 character from completing the cast it really hurt.

Oh and saying Ferro is a very minor character when Wierzbowski, a character that was only mentioned by name after he died got a figure is some weird logic. Ferro at least had lines in a few scenes.

Not getting a powered down Iceman is a bummer for me. That era of X-Factor is dear to my heart. I have the box set and Angel but a baby blue suit Bobby would make me very happy.

I found one full set at a store in Van Nuys, CA. They didn’t have them last week so they are getting out there.

Fox properties are coming back home (sort of) so I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be an updated Fantastic Four wave.

Mr. Fantastic / Dr.Doom

Invisible Woman (clear) / Namor

Human Torch (flame on) / Sue Storm (not clear)

Johnny Storm (flame off) / Thing

BAF: Super-Skrull

Just opened my set from Walgreens. Korath does not have silver highlights but the rest do. They all also have completely different tampo designs so they don't all match to begin with.

I'm truly impressed with all of these. The amount of accessories and alternate looks is incredible for what could have been just a bunch of "armybuilders" and guys in suits. Fury and Coulson both look like their previous MCU 'mates but younger, especially Coulson who appears to have the same worried frowny face as the Thor version. I was only planning to track down an extra of each Carol and Yonn Rog to display the helmeted looks. But now I need another full set so I can have all the alt looks on display.

Just finished DD season 3 and I need a Season 3 Daredevil. So what existing ‘mates have hands/gloves that are wrapped like his rope wrapped hands?

I got mine from DST yesterday. I'm getting a VERY strong Batman vibe from him. The armor in black and gold with the gray body is a great homage.

Taking store branding to a whole new level.

My order was processed and shipped within a few hours of placing it. I am surprised the free shipping (over $35 order total) is 2-Day FedEx. Should be here tomorrow.

DSTZach thanks for the info on black discs. I have no knowledge of the character so I learned something.

I notice the Dark Iron Spidey/Spot pack has black stands. What's the reasoning for that change?

The multi-arm torso piece could be modified to work for a 4-armed xenomorph. You’d have to cut it up but you can make it fit under the Alien chest cap. Throw on some black child arms and whamo!

I wouldn’t say no to one of the Battle Beast bats if anyone has an extra.

Would an extra little sheet of the arm, leg and belt stickers and a set of ankle wings be too much to ask for? I’m willing to pay for them.

I could possibly skip the feet and display one version on one of those clear blue portal stands like she’s coming out of the water.

Those 3 inch bizarre DC He-man esque figures make me livid.

My understanding is they are 5” like the vintage He-Man figures.

My next custom will be Namorita! She will include two different chest blocks, heads, and hair pieces to capture both of her main costumes from the late 80's to early 90's. She will also include an underwater diorama. Namorita will go up for preorder on Sunday afternoon.

Will there be an option to get the remaining parts to display both looks?

Another Queen variant would be great, but without a TRU to subsidize it I don’t know that it would get enough orders to go into production.

A mixed wave with missing characters from across the films would be great.

Honestly I just want to complete the Aliens team with Bishop and Ferro. Anything else on top of that and I’m happy. Those variant Xenos that were packed in the last wave were a lot of fun. More like that to add some color to the hive would be nice.

That diagram is the most organized Walgreens toy section I’ve ever seen.

Ideally I like to get 2 of each set, to display alt looks and such. With Walgreens IW wave 2 being so hard to find I’m not holding out much hope until the pre-holiday clearance restock push.
