suicidewatch

Hopefully Shocker comes with a masked head and there's something on the chest block underneath his jacket, or else that's a really boring figure.

These Netflix shows really love the unnecessary costume tease build up almost as much as they love poorly lit hallway fight scenes.

So I'm confused, is this wave set to come out before Guardians 2 and Spidey Homecoming or after or between?

i made one when the first movie came out too, love john wick! 

What hair did you use?

Tiny John Wick is ready to dispense tiny headshots into indistinguishable european henchmen. 

I can't wait for another Marvel Netflix show where our hero fights in the poorly lit hallways and warehouses of New York City, while giving vague lip service to the MCU, and then finally gets a costume in the last 10 minutes of the finale.

She wasn't a "great aunt" (but she was pretty terrific), though. She was his father's sister. And yes, gaps like that can happen. My old boss is a good 20 years older than her younger sister, but it's an exception, not the rule.

you are correct that she wasn't his great aunt, but she isn't his father's sister. She was May Reilly before she married Uncle Ben (the origin of the Scarlet Spider's last name). Uncle Ben was Peter's dad's brother.

i thought i heard Wonder Man is just on a poster in the background?

yeah, there's apparently a Simon Williams film festival at some point in the film with posters of his fictional movies. I don't think Fillion is actually in the movie or has any lines. it's just James Gunn having some fun with a character that Marvel is never gonna use in any of these films. 

I thought the pilot was excellent. it's extremely strange and trippy and unlike any comic book show on tv. i'm not sure if this show really has much connection with the X-Films at all, as it seems to take place in the 1970s with a very retro-futuristic look (think Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange aesthetic). i like that you don't really know what the hell is going, since our main character is a literal crazy person. it's only 1 episode in and i already like it better than all the Netflix shows (other than Jessica Jones). hopefully the series will keep the weirdness of the pilot going forward. i have a feeling this show is gonna be divisive as hell. It was definitely not made for 30 year old dudes in Deadpool t-shirts. It's for people looking for something different from their comic book films/shows.

also Singer has little to nothing to do with the show. he's just an executive producer, which doesn't mean anything.

Have you asked at any of the locations about getting new assortments in? Especially at ones where there are low or no inventory.

The level of indifference from Walgreens employees is high.

it's also frustrating that all the stores in my area are still 3 waves behind. Any restocks my stores have gotten have been for 1.5 or 2. 

Saw a post on Instagram of the newest wave out in the wild. The distribution on these Walgreens exclusives really suck. I haven't seen any past Wave 2 at any of the 10 different Walgreens that are within driving distance from me. People complain about TRU, but I've never had this trouble hunting minimates down like i have these goddamn animated waves. The fact you can't just fucking order them online drives me nuts.

I was thinking the same thing but I don't remember them being in that episode.  Is the Avengers Assemble show any good?  I haven't seen any of the Marvel cartoons since the 90's.

All the current Disney Marvel cartoons are various degrees of bad, from bad (Ultimate Spider-Man), to really bad (Avengers Assemble), to horrible (Guardians of the Galaxy). BUT they do a good job with character design and introducing characters from the Marvel universe that we might get as toys. The only good Marvel cartoons in recent times were Wolverine and the X-Men, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (legitimately a great cartoon.) 

They look great, too bad they will never show up at any Walgreens near me.

Yes

The problem I have with Bendis is that every single character has the exact same voice, that of a snarky teenager as written by a man in his 40s. He's also really good at writing comics that have no payoff to their story arcs. And he has little to no respect for the work of previous writers on comics he's currently writing (see: Guardians of the Galaxy). 

I need Space Venom and X-23, so if you've got extras that you're looking to unload message me.

I'm convinced these don't actually exist. 

Santa Doom

okay, I've given up on this wave EVER showing up in my town and people are going insane with the scalping prices. does anyone have an extra Nighthawk pack?

Undisclosed villain? Do they need more villains in the movie? 

Donald Glover is rumored to be The Prowler. There's a shot of him with Logan Marshal Green in the trailer while he's firing a laser.

Just finished this guy up today. He's been on the bench for too long.

Nice job

Maybe these coming out will push some 2.5 into the stores around me, which I have yet to see in the wild. 

Wouldn't count on that. In my area 1.5 NEVER showed up and we just got 2. 2.5 also never showed up.

I wasn't too enthused about this wave outside of getting Strange, but after seeing it last night I'm game to snatch up every fig. 

The Wonder Man thing is definitely just a cameo. Same as Sly. He's apparently just a Nova Corp officer. 

Actual Rocket figure would be my biggest want from this wave. I would assume we are getting:

Starlord/Gamora

Rocket/Groot

Drax/Mantis

Yondu/Nebula
