Zylek Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 They look very nice, I'll probably get them all. Is there a pic somewhere of the alternate look of lab coat Pym? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzorio Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Nice! I'll grab half at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 These look really good, IM, Cap and Spidey seem very basic, which is good for newcomers but not as interesting as the others, I'm not a huge Luke Cage fan but they definitely nailed it with this 'mate.

There was the original pictures from Toyfair or whatever, but they weren't very detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 These look great, I really want those PM/IF and hulk mini's. T. Especially that Grey Hulk ....what a beauty . Was I alone in not ...er...appreciating that Spider-sense mate the first time around ? I s'pose you can leave the 'sense' off . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I wish they had chosen a different take on Spider-Man to update, both 2099 and Scarlet Spider could use updates, but I understand they aren't the classic look to average buyers.

VulcansFury Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Grey Hulk, PM & IF are the only ones that look newish enough to me. The entire front row and Ant Man look pretty much the same as existing mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Most Best of figures resemble other figures, by design. Often, the paint is the main way we differentiate, and I'm not sure how close to final the paint here is. We tend to lean towards flat comic colors, but the shade may lighten or darken.

rman1115 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 All these figures look amazing. Not sure if I am going to get all of them yet, but definitely picking up the PM and IF set as well as the Hawkeye and Ant-man set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are consistently my favorite waves each year, I'll be buying multiples again. I especially love the flat color like you mentioned. Fight for this wave every year Zach!

youbastards Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah, these are amazing. I just hope the yellow shirt on Luke Cage retains the vibrant tone, and isn't applied over a darker base color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 These are pretty good tie-ins for Marvel's upcoming and ongoing projects, especially those Netflix series and the Ant-Man movie. Will these be available at Barnes & Noble any time soon? (Please?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I hope B&N takes more! I don't have to campaign for these, the sales team likes them and retailers seem to like them. I'm just glad you guys like them. The early resistance melted quickly, but I didn't expect collectors to take to them so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 It definitely helps that you guys go above and beyond to make these the best versions of the character. This Luke Cage for example is the ideal modern version. Is there any chance we can see characters who need redos appear more often in these? We really need a bulked up Abomination now that all the Hulks are the big versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylek Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think it's obvious that you guys had both new buyers and collectors in mind and created a nice balance with these. It's a solid win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 True, we did want them to be appealing to all. Not sure Abomination has come up, but the minute they bring him back in the movies, I'm sure we'll take another look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 We're nearing the point at which I'm running out of figures I'd deem "necessary" and yet I won't be happy without two Luke/Danny packs to display both looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Is that Spider-Man final? The lack of red on the inner forearms looks weird. I understand trying to keep these at a certain cost but taking away another painted area from Spider-Man makes him look cheap. The rest look good though.

Politician Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'd hope Best Of 4 would be more villains and X-Men, we could always use more villains and X-Men have been completely absent so far besides the Wolvie/Saber pack. Come on Zach, that Classic Cyclops/Magneto pack would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) It definitely helps that you guys go above and beyond to make these the best versions of the character. This Luke Cage for example is the ideal modern version. Is there any chance we can see characters who need redos appear more often in these? We really need a bulked up Abomination now that all the Hulks are the big versions. Not only best versions, but also multiple versions. The thing that makes Luke Cage so appealing to me is that he has his 'civvies' look, as well as his Gauntleted look. If Pym comes with a lab coat, then i'd probably buy him to display him that way. Giving the transforming options really makes these collector-friendly. Edited April 23, 2014 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
