BuffaloDelorean Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) 9 hours ago, The Scarlet Spider said: No accessories...? I guess because of all the bulked up characters. That's a blow to my will to buy these. I buy so many multiples just for accessories sometimes. I don't even want the hulk or any bulked up characters I just want stuff likeThor and his swords, an army of Valkyries, and Executioner with weapons. And Hela of course. I hope Valkyrie comes with accessories and a non-hulk boxmate :/ otherwise I may only get one or two. And I hope we get the actual warrior looking outfit and not that god awful sci-fi silver dress. Then again I guess that'd keep me from wanting to buy multiples if it's that costume for the mate and she's packed with hulk so I guess there are advantages. This is Valkyrie, and she's only packed with Hulk. No accessories for Skurge is a shame, but on the purely selfish side, it makes me feel better about that pack not being available near me.

Mirymate Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 No Accessories?? Ah maaan. Okay, well... thanks for checking Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Spider Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks @BuffaloDelorean :/ damn now I wish she did have the ugly silver dress cause I don't like buying hulk figs. Oh well at least they come with accessoriess... I really don't understand the reasoning to include nothing in a set. Even just one axe would make me say "yeah I'll just buy 2 to get 2 axes". I've said it before and I'll keep saying it... accessories make or break a pack for me. You This is worse than that Hawkeye Crossbones pack because at least I wasn't even tempted to get them. This wave is already meh. Edited August 28, 2017 by The Scarlet Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen Skurge holding anything besides machine guns, and there may have been restrictions about us including them. Even if we had reference for an access, there may have been tooling considerations. Every outfit has new parts There are other double-bladed axes -- Gruntos, Ares, the gold crocodile. Not particularly easy to acquire, most of them, but they exist. Edited August 28, 2017 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey sounds like a win win! I've been expanding my Walgreens searches to a wider area so hopefully I'll be able to find him for ya. Assuming that's where the pack will be. 7 minutes ago, DSTZach said: There are other double-bladed axes -- Gruntos, Ares, the gold crocodile.

If it was just guns I wouldn't care nearly as much (still probably would a bit) but I'd go buy a gun heavy pack. Oh well saves me money from buying multiples.

Mirymate Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 No, I get it, @DSTZach, if this was a purely comics release, I'm sure it would have been included. As it stands, since its for the movie, there are all kinds of things in play that could mean the axe wasn't included. Disappointing, but not a deal breaker. Volstagg's will do for now.

fwoosheyman Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'd go with the axe that comes with either Ares (Marvel) or Ares (DC - although this one could use some paint). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 For what it's worth, artwork depicting Skurge holding an axe was available back in March. That's probably not enough time to concept the piece, get it approved, and into production in time for this release. Which sucks, especially for a guy described as a "soldier with an obsession for armaments" who "must use his amazing armory" to save the universe.

youbastards Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Why are we getting 3 different Loki 'mates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Because this is actually the Loki movie they had talked about making shortly after the first Thor movie came out? Loki is the real star in this one. I don't know, but from the trailers... It looks like Thor may become evil/possessed by Hela and Loki probably will need to save the day. Loki is also present at the Gladiator fight and may be how Thor and Hulk manage to both get away alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
