  1. My problem with Bendis is the he can't write characters, plural, just one character, singular, and whatever Character he's writing just melds into that character that he writes.  

    I've cancelled most of my DC and Marvel pull list these days. This thread is good, though, and I give it at least two thumbs up.

  2. I saw the movie last night (loved it!), And I think DST did a great job on this wave.  I can't blame them for reference pics they got, but I would have preferred Ayesha to have been in a different costume.  The jockey suit was not her most memorable look.  Kraglin would have been great to get, but he should be an easy QC.  Ravager army builders and the Ravager captains would have been cool, but not at the expense of what we got.

  3. 2008 GotG and 90's X-Factor are at the top of my want list.  It may not be likely, but I wish that DST would strike while the iron is hot as far as the Guardians go.  Kost I'm list is pretty perfect.  

  4. Great points, BD.  Another big difference between the Avengers and the X-Men (and again, Wolverine is the exception) is that the Avengers are largely popular characters with their own rich legacies.  Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk- the popular, heaviest hitters- all can and have anchored their own waves and/or boxsets.  And many supporting Avengers and villains can fit nicely into those characters' lineups.  Adding in an obscure, never-requested (?) character like Blizzard to take up not one but two slots is an odd choice.  Meanwhile, the X-Men have a huge cast, but aside from Wolverine, I don't think about character could really anchor a wave.  Ok, fine, Deadpool, but if the wave is 50% one character, I don't know if that's really a win.  

  5. It's kind of annoying that they're stealing the name, but on the other hand, it works for this team.  They're gonna do some defending after all.  It's great to see another hallway fight.  Some people might think it's becoming a cliche for Marvel Netflix, but I actually like it.  

  6. :thumbsup:  That's what I thought.  Thanks.  Heinous mentioned five months, and I was suddenly worried that it had been pushed to October. 

     

    Now some wishlisting:

    Luke Cage- yellow short sleeved t-shirt with slip over hoodie piece (this time with the hood yellow instead of gold) and arms.  

    Matt Murdock- stupid scarf pirate

    Elektra- I like that new look

    Alexandra

    Jessica Jones- pretty much the same as the first one, but this time with a black shirt and that scarf

    Iron Fist- hopefully he dons some kind of costumed look, but at least an outfit that he actually does some fighting in

    Daredevil- it's kind of lame that DST has not mass-released basic DD in his red costume.  We got the black clothes in the Season 1 set and a battle damaged late Season 1/early Season 2 look in the Season 2 set.  The red costume, undamaged, was only released in the SDCC set.  

    Jeri Hogarth, Colleen, Misty, Claire, Trish, Foggy, and Stick could fill in some spots.  These shows have some rich back  ground characters.  

     

  7. That packaging really stands out.  Looks great.

    Keep in mind it is 10:22 on a Friday night. When I answered that last post I was on a train with no Internet on my laptop.

    Kind of assumed you were like the rest of us and not permanently plugged in and on the job.  Just thought your response was kinda funny.

  8. I finally got the Luke Cage and DD season 2 sets.  Overall, I like them.  I wish that DD had come with an undamaged version of that mask.  That seems like a missed opportunity.  Otherwise, that's a great set.  I probably would have preferred Shades or Diamondback over Mariah Dilliard in the LC set.  As it is, this set feels like part 1 of the series.  I know we won't see it, but a part 2 set with Diamondback (with power glove and big ass gun), Shades, Luke with grey hoodie and jeans (and chest block, this guy's huge), and Claire would be something I'm in to. 

    Similarly, I'd love to see another Iron Fist set with Danny and Colleen in their black outfits, Madame Gao, and either Davos or Bakuto.
