Twisted Two-Face Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 How was Hulk not the BAF, but Thanos was? Probably because Thanos was a 100% new sculpt, i'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Also casual buyers are far more likely to buy the Hulk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 But, by that logic, casual buyers would have been more likely to assemble Hulk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 That's assuming casual buyers build the BAF, which is likely not the case, especially if they have to buy the likes of Hellcat and Batroc to do it. Bought the three movies figures loose from the Thanos wave since DST is only covering part of the team in MS. All are good figures, though Hulk seems a little off, mostly in the chest area. I wish Iron Man had at least one proper repulsor-firing interchangeable hand. And the Chris Evans likeness on the unmasked Cap head is nonexistent, but I guess that wasn't a surprise since it's the same head from the Winter Soldier version.

arnim zola Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 For all you guardians nuts that were POed about starlord being an exclusive http://marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=252&itemid=18855 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If the Starlord is no different than the other one, I'll have an extra to get rid of, same with Rocket. Drax is supposed to be on the bigger body. Groot has a new head, Gamora looks new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 That's interesting. They were supposed to be the white-trim costumes instead of red. I wonder if there's gonna be a variant for another store. They all look really sharp though. Bulky Drax, comic Gamora, and new Groot are great.

bigvis497 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm seeing a ton of praise given to this set and I just don't share it. We knew Drax, Rocket and Starlord were re-releases. Minor differences aside. Gamora is cool. I was really looking forward to seeing comic Groot... and it's just the build a figure with new parts. Comic Groot really should have his uniform but God forbid Hasbro creates a new body for a box set they're charging $120 for. Which is pretty much all re-releases. I was holding off on doing a custom comic style Groot for a buddy who collects these, now I'm going to start one since this really doesn't work at all.

Nessex Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 120 seems like a lot. Consider it's only 5 figures. Well, 4 and half, really. that's like $26 a figure. Is that how much ML figs cost in the USA now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that how much ML figs cost in the USA now? They're usually 20-22. But the All-New X-Men set was announced at a much higher price point than what it ended up at retail, so who knows.

Glantern Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm intrigued, as I don't have any of the comic Guardians, but I can't see myself going for it if it's really that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Rocket's new head looks fantastic. Still really wish he had leg articulation. I could use a better Star-Lord. The one I finally ended up getting ended up being kinda floppy. That price hurts, though. Also, I finally found a Scarlet Witch last night, but she has an indentation on her cheek that makes her look like Andrea from Walking Dead: I bought her, but I really hope I find a better one (and soon, so I can return the bad one - I kept it sealed).

hellpop Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If you don't have any of them, it's a nice set, but if you do, it's basically $120 for Gamora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I thought I'd be interested in this, but the fact that the costumes don't all go together makes it a lot less appealing. Well, that and the price, even at 20% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Assuming these rumored listings are correct I'm even more impressed by Hasbro: Speed DemonBeetle (Possibly female version)VenomMorbiusJack O' LanternGwen StaceySpider-ManSpider SilkShockerMiles Morales Spider-ManSpider-Girl (Ashley Barton)Peter ParkerElectro If ML can make teams like the Superior Foes of Spider-Man and the Wrecking Crew and minimates can't I may be collecting the wrong line.

hellpop Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 They're doing the Superior Foes? Aw man, that hurts. I just finally got my Daredevil today, since Amazon has him back in stock. Hasbro is really knocking it out of the park with Legends right now. I've got a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of these pegwarming for awhile, but I'll enjoy the ride while I can.

stack32 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I just got DD from Amazon as well. Besides the gap around the ab joint and the ridiculous batons it's a nice figure, or at least as nice the current formula of heavy reuse will allow. I have a hard time giving them too much credit when I have figures from MS/DCC/NECA to compare them to. Still, it's an improvement over how Mattel executed the same idea. I'm also a bit concerned that Hasbro is being too aggressive with character selection. I've got a feeling it's going to be possible to pick up a lot of these figures at heavy discounts near the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Huh - they're really hitting the Spider-man universe hard, aren't they? It's my corner of Marvel, but these are going to make someone very happy.I hope Hasbro continues expanding it's line through the rest of Marvel.

Twisted Two-Face Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 They're probably continuing the two new "flagship" sublines for ML, Spider-man and Avengers. Jack O Lantern though, neat! Ant-man wave is hitting all over the east coast. Walked into work the other day and had no expectation or reason to look for them, but there they were. Nice to be surprised in finding a wave after all this time. Bulldozer was already gone, because of course, so my Ultron stands missing an arm. GREAT wave, regardless; solid QC across the board, and i love Giant-man's headsculpt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 So they're getting Superior Foes and we're getting another Ultron. I get why, and I'm in no way faulting DST but damn, that hurts. At least we're finally getting Captain Marvel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Normally I'd agree with you, but I think this year's Ant-Man set is pretty cool. I do wish that DST would take the opportunity to play off the buzz of a movie to release a comics set like this. I guess last year's DOFP set counts... but where's my comics Guardians of the Galaxy?
