Insist? Once every few waves seems like the opposite of insisting. They look cool, and sometimes you have to make sacrifices in the name of coolness.

Kinda glad it's not abomination now, that suit is stupid Abomination only appeared on one episode of Ultimate Spider-Man, and he never wore a shirt. Ultimate Green Goblin is a major series antagonist. And he pretty much looked like this in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, just with horns.

suicidewatch Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Disney is cancelling Ultimate Spider-Man after this season and rebooting the show as Spider-Man in 2017, with Peter back in highschool and without all the stupid SHIELD agent nonsense. Hopefully this new show isn't garbage and gives us some more classic takes on Spidey's villains. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2016/10/08/exclusive-new-marvel-spider-man-animated-series/91775698/ Edited October 9, 2016 by suicidewatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipstream Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I have to say, I do think the Iron Man arms that are used on Iron Skull are cool. They have much more detailing, give the mechanical armored look without having a big bulky add on piece. Not sure what kind of poses and play people are trying to do that is that severely limited by these shoulders.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 What are these arms that everyone seems to hate? I don't remember ever hearing any complaints about that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember ever hearing any complaints about that before. They are the Iron Man arms from most of the latest MCU and Animated IM mates. I don't think they are that bad, but they do limit the outward movement so that it's mostly just up and down.

Turtle Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 First seen with IM3. The arms effectively turn the ball joint into a swivel joint with no lateral movement, only up/down. I don't think they add a whole lot visually. CW Falcon's arms, with a similar design, manage to retain full range of motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I haven't found them locally yet either, but they tend to take a while to show up around here. I want Nighthawk and Man-Thing. All the other waves are available around here, just in different stores. There was a re-stock on the Taskmaster wave at the location next to my office.

MisterMiracle Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Yeah, that does suck if that's as high as the arms can go out sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I really like the Ironman that came with Ronan. The lay over chest piece makes the shoulders look similar to those terrible shoulders, but he has a lot more ROM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I stood on a street corner holding him up in the air and taking pictures of him for 15 minutes to get that shot. It's amazing how doing this as part of my job makes me care much less whether people think I'm crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
