Overall a nice wave, but the qc issues suk. Quite a few stuck parts to render all of those mix n match parts useless for those that don't know about boil/pop methods. The paint apps were a bit sloppy on my FalCap, but nothing too serious. Not a deal breaker. I was expecting to like FalCap best, but I think Sabertooth and Red Skull are my favorites of the bunch. The decision to include Kluh in this line up is still baffling. A stupid character that was not interestring at all. A wasted opportunity to get a better character. Here's a hint, DST, if three character bios mention the importance of another character, maybe that character is important to the story. Maybe that character should get made. Just a thought.

Happy birthday. Better late than never, right?

Yeah, Jean Pierre Jeunet is an amazing director, and some of his regular actors are in Resurrection. I thought the movie started well but really fizzled out. Some interesting concepts at least. A3 was decent, but ultimately it was directed by committee, and that always leaves a flat taste. I really enjoyed Prometheus. Sure, some parts were stupid, but overall a worthy addition to the franchise. Any fan should watch all of the movies, but nothing comes close to the original.

Happy birthday, Ten!

And the award for best derailing of a thread goes to...

Fail Ivan?

Very nice!

I'm a little sad we're not getting Luis in minimate form. There were two costumes that we're not getting that would have been cool, but I think that DST made good choices on these box sets. Looking forward to getting them.

It was a very fun movie. I was worried it would be a train wreck, but the only train wreck here was perfectly executed. A lot of good stuff. It was funny, silly, and had a lot of heart. The action sequences were pretty entertaining. Michael Peña as Luis really stole the show. Great performance.

I got my set from amazon yesterday. Haven't had time to really look at it, but here are my initial thoughts: Iron Man. He's a basic body with a helmet, flight stand, and hair. I prefer this to the main release. Tony Stark. Comes with alternate jacket and gauntlet for hammer lifting. Not really necessary, and would be more fun if we got the rest of the party goers. The most meh figure here. Nick Fury is pretty basic. Congress with a pistol abs cool alternate no-eye-patch head. Very neat. IM drone has the new number. Ultron. THE reason to get this set. This should have been the main release. The face looks amazing. The shoulder bulk is perfect. The waist extender gives nice height. Really great job capturing Ultron in minimate form. Possibly my favorite AoU release.

Super excited for this (and BvS). I like the direction WB is taking the DC movies. I can't wait to see what Hot Toys offers.

I think this looks great. The dichotomy between Batman and Superman looks perfectly captured. The thing about the Kents is necessary because it shows how Superman is doing his best to pave his own way, which to me is perfect. And contrasts nicely with Nathan's sense of obligation and duty. I'minterest to see how much backstory we get with Batman. The Robin costume is neat, but I wonder just how much history is there..and I seriously am curious about this Superman army. Suicide Squad looks like a lot of fun. I've always been more of a DC fan, so I'm excited to see that universe finally getting a cohesive film treatment that looks so good.

That Hawkeye looks great.

Captain Marvel and Thor look GREAT!

I obviously don't know better than anyone else here, but I imagine that DST is waiting on the Netflix stuff before jumping in, and I'm ok with that. In fact, it might be better for them to just do a Defenders 4-pack with DD, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones. No offense to other characters in the show, but I don't think Foggy, Karen, Ben, or Wesley would make very fun toys. I mean, I'd love to have them, but, you know...

These look pretty cool. It's a good thing I've got, like, 3500 Walgreen's stores within 10 miles of my house. Shouldn't have a problem finding these.

X-Factor. Mmmmmmmm. Yes. DST, do this.

Yeah, same here. I'd love stickers for the IL and Ultron drones, but I don't really need more than one of the wave.

Mine was 5 of 91. I normally buy just a full wave, but with this I had to get a full case, so I'm really not surprised that these are more difficult to find. Regardless of how anyone feels about the characters, there's no denying that this is a superbly planned, designed, and executed wave. The fact that everyone except Pyro cones with an alternate look is just fantastic. The only issue I have with any thing is that the X belt is off with that bit of yellow at the bottom of it, but that's a minor gripe for an otherwise excellent wave.

Very cool. I like your Cecilia set up too. What face did you use for her?

I got ya covered. PM me your address.

Lois is so hot she's making me sexist.

Yeah, as well done as the AoU minimates are, Ultron being so tiny was a bit of a let down. One of the biggest characters in the movie shouldn't be the smallest minimate in the bunch.

Love that Armor! I had the same idea, but no spare Holocaust. Looks great.

Happy birthdays, guys. Hope you both had a pleasant day.
