Binaryan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) My girlfriend picked these up for my at the comic shop near her house, it's the only place anywhere nearby that carries 'mates, now I have to wait till she brings them over. It's cool. I can wait. Not a problem........bah!! My LCS got Wave 33 and the Iron Man single issue figures (2 Drones and Justin Hammer). No sign of the Spidey Friends & Foes set... I snagged the Rachel Grey/Sentinel and Excalibur costume variant sets. Completely awesome! Edited March 24, 2010 by Binaryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbrwesq Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Man I love my LCS. I've got the Spidey set, both new waves and all of the Iron Man 2 single figures waiting for me when I get off work. Even Justin Hammer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesium salami Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Has anyone opened these yet? Mine didn't come with Doc Ock's tentacles, and there is no place for them in the plastic. Also, Vultures wings are...yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 All you guys with these. . .but no pics?? Pshaw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just opened them (pics coming) - Vulture's wings are yellow-green, and the flesh on Spidey & Black Cat's chests are yellow-grey. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I picked up the box set today at lunch but I am stuck working late so I have not been able to crack them open and get some pictures.. I'm sure someone here will have time to do it before I do.. but I'll check back when I get off and if there are no pics I'll jump on it. I'm most excited for vulture.. so nice to get another Spidey Baddy for my Spidey Baddy Display!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Just picked these up. Not impressed. Spider-Man has what is quite possibly the worst paint job I have ever seen on a 'mate. Sloppy lines, smudged details, not to mention the bleed through of the underlying colors. The web tampo was obviously placed on his face first, as it has bled through all of the overlying paint, meaning his exposed face and the eyes have webs running through them. also, his feet are blue plastic painted red, which would be a non issue if they had painted the bottoms of his feet. Over all, he looks like someone's first custom, meaning he looks very unprofessional. Dr. Octopus(though he really should be called Dr Heptopus as only three of his arms will attach) has some of the same, to a lesser degree thanks to the less complex paint job but, like the other figures in this set, his facial features are very washed out looking. Vulture isn't too bad, but he still has the washed out detail lines that plague the rest of the set, plus the lines on his costume are only present on the front which is a bit jarring. also, the paint on his hands is clumpy and looks weird. Black Cat may be the best in the set, but that's sadly not too great in these circumstances. She has the issue of the detail lines like the rest of the set, and similarly to Spider-Man, the bottoms of her feet are not painted, leaving them a some what glaring white up against the black of the rest of the costume. On my figure her left arm won't stay on. May just be my figure, but still annoying. Overall this set is very disappointing. I kinda think had 34 been at my store this week, these would have been very easy to pass. Too bad too, because these are characters I had really wanted. Oh well.

TENIME_art Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 HUGELY disappointing. This set looked so good, and turned into such crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Seems like the last really bad set, QC-wise, was Secret Invasion. Maybe we were due for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I had no problem with Secret Invasion. Heck, I've had, to my recollection, no problem with any set up until this. I'm kinda scared to open Series 33 now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpiderX Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm just taking a good look at them, and all the same issues are present in mine as well. Weird skin colours, bad spidey face and Ock's arms not fitting in. I can deal with Vultchy's wings being yellow, but it's still annoying.

TENIME_art Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I swapped the new Ock head onto the old Ock body, which I had attached the Superhero Squad tentacles to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesium salami Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Where were the Doc Ock's tentacles in the packaging? I don't think I could have missed them. Attached are a couple of quick pics. I actually like the Doc Ock, but don't have the arms, of course. The Spidey I didn't really care about. Black Cat's skin tone is a head scratcher. Her chest must be grey from all the chimney sweeping she's been doing. Vulture's wings are an odd color, and I can't get his white collar to center just right, it keeps sliding around. So, yeah, disappointing set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedShadow Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Where were the Doc Ock's tentacles in the packaging? I don't think I could have missed them. Can you please take a pic of the spider-man without anyone else? Edited March 25, 2010 by darkredshdow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uderay Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 This was a most wanted set for me, and all your reports and the pics are really disappointing. BBTS hasn't notified me yet that these are in, as I was waiting for these to ship my pile of loot. Now I'm not sure I care...so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 wow completely disappointed... yellow wings? seriously? this will be a skip for me and that is a damn shame moc847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killek Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just out of curiousity... has anyone in the history of ever been really into battle-damaged versions of things? I just don't see the appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 The Vulture wings are kind of a disappointment but not a huge ordeal to me. The Black Cat chest vs face skin color sure is, though. What the heck?! And what's the issue with Doc Ock again? His tentacles don't stay in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just out of curiousity... has anyone in the history of ever been really into battle-damaged versions of things? I just don't see the appeal. personally I liek battle damaged version on people it makes sense for...spidey gets tossed around a lot and his costume gets shredded tons so its cool by me Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrtankengine Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Bummer about the set. I didn't want the Spidey so that doesn't really bother me, and I don't have a problem with the original Black Cat either. I can live with the Vulture's wings. Its the Doc oc that I'm worried about. Oh well, I can't hate any set that gets me closer to a complete Spidey rogues gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Gah! This was my most anticipated box set so far, but they look pretty sloppy. I can always paint wings and make tentacle pegs thicker with super glue or something (assuming they're in my set!), but fixing Cat's skintone is a bit out of my league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
