  1. Yeah, I used a Gundam marker on my Things.  I think I also used to highlight details on Groot and maybe one of the several Star-Lords I have.  Probably something else too.  For a five dollar investment, it has really gotten a good return on investment.

  2. These mostly look pretty great.  My two complaints are holdovers from Vol 1.  Starlord's face didn't quite look like Chris Pratt to me, but it's otherwise a great looking figure.  Rocket is... different from Vol 1, but I don't know if I would say better.  I'll reserve final judgement, but my first impression is that DST just can't get Rocket right.  Everyone else looks great.  I really think Mantis is a home run.  (I hope she doesn't disappoint in the movie.). Drax looks amazing.  I may pick up multiples to update my two versions of Vol 1 Drax.

  3. I saw it twice this weekend.  I loved it.  That scene at the end, yeah, best SW scene ever.  I thought there was a lot to like, but most notable to me was that the plot was pretty secure.  Everything was explained.  There were no, "If Boba Fett were following them, how'd he get there first?" moments.  I enjoyed all of the new characters immensely, but I also enjoyed seeing familiar faces and designs.  I especially liked the shout-outs to Rebels.

    My favorite Wolverine minimate this far has been the X-Force black and grey costume that came with a Hydra goon. He's perfect to me. The costume is my favorite, the storyline is incredible, the two X-Force teams were great, and this figure is just dead on. I'll never understand why DST didn't continue those claws

     

     

    I'm with you on that X-Force Wolverine I.  I love the expression on his face.  It's got so much awesome attitude.  The parts and paints are all crisp and clean, and the design/colors really work well as a toy.  And those claws are menacing.  However...

    This is a great idea for a thread! I agree with Vis and Trev, Wave 28 is my favorite and I wish that was the figure that got used in the "Best of" and "Greatest Hits" waves. Just nailed Wolverine in every way a figure can.

    Least favorite is this...

    I like the costume, the colors and the storyline it's from but the figure just falls so flat for me with the wide boots, the new mold for the mask makes Logan look like he has buckteeth, and the mask just looks strange in general.

     

    I agree with this one as the worst.  I have no idea WTF DST was thinking.  X-Force Wolverine I is a masterpiece.  X-Force Wolverine II is a multiple steps in the wrong direction.  The mask is obviously the worst part.  It's horrible.  I'm not crazy about the gloves or boots used here either.  Those glove pieces might work well on other mates, but not here.  All of these missteps are especially glaring when you compare it the first and far superior 'mate.  

    The Wolverine I'd like to see is Fang costume.

    And I have no idea why the MMMV is only letting me post in spoilers.  There's really nothing special to see here.
