Glantern

My store had these in. I picked up Cap and Red Onslaught. I like them well enough. Cap's mask won't budge and I wish the wings didn't have the tab for the shield permanently attached, but he looks pretty cool. The Alt Red Skull is definitely my new default.

Picked up a set of these today, minus the Vision variant. Here are my pics (in spoiler brackets to save space, no actual spoilers are included):

Finally got around to taking some pictures of my SDCC set:

More pictures and review here

I'm so sorry to hear about this. RIP the original Batgirl.

Blue Spartan ODST & Active Camo Arbiter

Well, if you want to get technical, they were called "Action League," which is the name they kept even after they moved away from the cartoon based stuff. My brother loved this line.

Taking a look at the other TRU Aliens set today: Pvt Vasquez & Battle-Damaged Alien. Enjoy!

Got my Rhino set from BBTS:

Hadn't initially planned to get them all, but I figured I wanted enough that the whole set was worth it. Rhino has some serious heft. I don't like his classic head as much as I thought I would. I think Chameleon might be my favorite in the set, though.

I also found Ant-Man at a nearby Walgreens. He's a lot of fun, even if I'm not much of a fan of the story he's from.

I managed to get the two ML sets, after much gnashing of teeth. It initially added two of each to my cart and I lot like 10 minutes trying to get it slimmed back down. Tried for the Stormtrooper, but he was gone by the time I could get him added. Oh well.

I'm all for capitalism.

I also believe in toy karma.

This. So much this.

Hey guys, I reviewed Hudson & the Screaming Alien! Enjoy!

I enjoyed this one very much. I liked how didn't go too (pardon the pun) big. After a long string of Marvel movies upping the stakes continuously, I liked that this one was just its own thing. It was a good breather before we descend into Civil War.

Aside from the super dated hair on Ms. Marvel, that's actually still a really solid set.

why is Ripley's hair so short in the Alien 35th anniversary boxset? I thought her hair was much longer in the first movie

Her hair is longer in the movie, but it seems DST didn't have the budget for a new sculpt, so they just used the El Indigo piece they were using for Aliens Ripley

Hey tenime_art, what's the ultron third from the left in your comp pic?

He's the naked version of the big guy. Dunno whose legs he used though.

I believe the arms and legs are from 54's robo Red Skull. Those are the ones I use on my Ultron, anyway.

Stopped by the nearby toystore while on vacation. Found quite a few things, including a $20 Cap TTA set, which really excited me!

So, all of the TRU aliens are unique? Or just the ones that come with the new characters? Or just the three that PL bought?

Ripley and Hicks both just come with basic warrior aliens. Only Hudson and Vasquez are packed with uniqe aliens.

Totally forgot to post this here! Wave 60 Wolverine & Blob review. Enjoy!

Some pictures of the sets.

First off, this just cracked me up...

Group Shot

What's that at Vasquez's feet? Is that a newborn? Yes, yes it is.

I stopped by TRU on the way home from work. They had these out. I had planned on waiting for the specialty Hudson and Vasquez, but I broke down and bought them. And I'll probably get the specialty set too....

I would kill for that Aliens poster. Literally kill. ...Okay, maybe not, but I'd really like one.

Wait, like a real Transformers fan or a Bayformers fan?

I couldn't find a thread for this movie. Has anyone else seen it? I saw it Tuesday night and I quite liked it.

I've written a full review here.

What are other people's thoughts?

I got mine too. The envelope was a little damp (thanks to the torrential downpours we've been having here) but the sticker was just fine! Thanks Shane!

I sure hope it's Amadeus Cho. I've loved the character since Pak used him in Incredible Hercules, and I would be thrilled to have him in a prominent role!
