  1. Thanks so much guys!!!!

    I honestly had no expectations of winning but am super stoked to have this guy joining my collection!

    A huge thanks to Lurch and Zach for making this contest possible!

  2. I actually found this wave yesterday! (Which means Wave 13 just skipped Memphis, I guess?) Ultimate Cap and Spidey are both nice. No complaints about either. Box and Vindicator are both nice. Both of Vindicator's masks are too tight and don't come all the way down, but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar set. Havok and Storm are both nearly perfect. My only gripe is Havok's screaming head. It would have been nice to have gotten a more neutral option. I've got plenty of spare heads to sub in, so it's certainly no deal breaker for what is easily me favorite 'mate of the wave. Rhino is great. Right now, he might even be my favorite bulked-up 'mate to date. Perfectly executed. This wave was so close to perfection. Then came Iron Man. He sucks. Even if his legs stayed on, he would still be pretty crappy. His legs are too skinny. His head and shoulders are too big and end up looking ridiculously out of proportion. No tampo under the shoulder armor either. I think some parts might get mismatched with some other IM 'mates to get a decent enough Extremis version. In an otherwise well-planned and well-executed wave, IM's badness really sticks out.

    I agree. This to me is the worst Ironman to date. I even tried swapping a few other Ironman parts to get something decent with this one and honestly.....Nothing.

    I may still see if I can find a torso with an ARC tampo just to see if it works without extra parts. If not, well....it just doesnt work.

  3. Or maybe, so there is slightly less hatred for blind packs, for example series one could be clowns. There is one basic design with only slight variations, maybe 5 "Different" designs and have 1 "Super rare" design per series. The differences in the super rare figure could be that it's an evil clown, it's transparent, comes with a different accessory, whatever. Possibly do cases of 12 and there would be 2 of each one per case.....so the super rare really isn't that rare, it's just more different than the others. So if you wanted all the figures, just buy the case or if you just wanted a few for "army building" then just buy a few.

    Blanks, my first series would be basic....6 different skin tones, Caucasian to African American and make the "Super Rare" one alien skin, reptile, zombie or robot or something.

    Just some thoughts.

  4. I think it would be a good way to get different kinds of Blanks, civilian or basic themed figures into the market.

    I myself would enjoy more blanks with different schemes like clear, metallic, glow in the dark, Chrome, maybe different image textures like Brick, Marble, tree bark.....I dunno

    In one blind pack, you could get a mate, a random style of base and maybe an accessory of some sort.
