  1. Excited by this, looking forward to the licence reveal.
  2. Regardless of making the best of a bad situation, not having Bobby be accurate to source defies logic, that is, without good reason. Would be interested to know why?
  3. Rick TTA would be awesome. I see Zach's controversial comment as meaning something that is susceptible to criticism, rather than the content being specifically controversial. Perhaps 'gore & bloody' versions of 'best of' characters we've already had. Same figures, some extra red splatter details. I'd actually be happy with that.
  4. Without the black detail, I do feel it is missing something and doesn't quite fit with the rest of the teams uniforms, whom all feature black sections. Would be really interested in the reason why it is omitted?
  5. Love to see a 10 figure boxset like the Iron Man se,t to coincide with the upcoming Spiderverse event.
  6. If you see them in store and can pick up Cyclops for me, you're welcome to the Jubilee parts.Let me know if you're interested.
  7. Looking at those pictures... he looks white in some and black in others. If a mistake has been made, I'd put it down to an oversight from Skybound. Either approving wrong merchandise (minimates), inconsistent grey tones in comic not matching character description, or poor source material and approval of the novels content. Gonna hit Robert Kirkman on Twitter for a definitive answer.
  8. Just been reading TWD Fall of the Governor novel and something came to light... I think Bruce may actually a black man. The book often describes him as just that, a black man. HAIL IVAN Can't believe it passed approval if this is the case. I thought maybe the novel got it wrong, as a it not necessarily obvious in the comic but looking into it further, it does refer to his ethnicity here... http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Bruce_Allan_Cooper
  9. I think he is a bad-ass, the dork glasses are just to divert attention from the gaping hole in his face.
  10. Brand new jumping on point in today's issue #127.
  11. Nice plug for Luke on Comic Book Resources... http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=52714
  12. Didn't know that either, nice touch!
  13. Same here. I crave authenticity. Well, as much as I can get considering the block figure format. I'd prefer the black detail too, but it's not a deal breaker if not.Zach, would you say getting Best to complete this set (below) is not going to happen? I've customised one, but it is lacking due to not having the power house chest piece. I only ask now as this set makes me think of displaying all the incarnations of the original 5 together, in a sort of 'through the ages' set. What about offering the chest piece as an extra in a future set, similar to Cyclops shoulder piece?
  14. Welcome fellow Brit. Totally relate to what you say about international shipping costs on eBay. You can generally find 'not so recent' waves in Forbiden Planet but they cost in £'s what they do in $'s. Try Luke's Toy Store (that's him above), the shipping costs are very reasonable and he has a huge inventory. Paying dollars means you'll save on the mates against UK prices, so with the shipping, it all works out about the same as picking them up locally in the UK.
  15. I knew he had something up his sleeve and could not be happier for him. Even if this was a boxset of stinkers... I'd be picking up a bunch. Let's help Luke sell this out so he can get another exclusive.
  16. Thanks for getting these out there Shane, it's really great of you to do this.
  17. Funny thing is, this is one of the few events with which Spidey had nothing to do with. He showed up in some of the tie-in Avengers comics in some non speaking parts and that was it. Maybe because it was still Ock in his mind and Hickman doesn't like handling other's continuity.I wish Spidey had featured, so we could get another version... but alas, you are right.I expect this to be one of the most diverse box sets in terms of characters.
