Brad Redfield Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Dying for that Hulk. Absolutely having a debilitating case of the gimme-gimme's! Feeling the exact same right now. I'm playing Hulk: Ultimate Destruction to (uselessly) get my mind off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I have to wonder what poor s.o.b. is gonna actually purchase them for the price that's in that auction. Sure, I want 'em incredibly badly... but even I'm not dopey enough to spend that kinda money when I know that they'll be appearing (cheaper than THAT) pretty soon. Talk about desperate.

battlecat Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm thinking a rich s.o.b. is more likely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is there any reason to pick up that Nightcrawler set? I have a good Nightcrawler...and I can't think of a use for Betsy. Haven't we gotten a ton of her recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yeah, just like Angel we went without for years, then they just unloaded every variant they could think of on us. Regular Asian Psylocke, black and white Asian Psylocke, masked and hooded "Outback" European Psylocke, and now early appearance, pink billowy outfit European Psylocke.

So there's no new character I'm missing or any junk like that, right? I get confused with names...she's just Psylocke right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think so. If she has another name apart from Psylocke and Betsy Braddock in those personas, I don't know what they are. She was also Lady Mandarin and a version of Captain Britain at different points. I'm sure Mirymate can chime in with others that I'm unfamiliar with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is the same Betsy Braddock who wound up wearing a wedgie-tastic blue one-piece later on in the X-Men. This version is from her earlier period with X-Men... right around the time of the "Fall of the Mutants" storyline in the X-books. This one came first, then the hooded/armored version we already have, then the blue bathing suit version, then the X-Force black/grey costume. That's the chronology.

The "pretty-in-pink" costume coming in wave 11 is actually where she picked up the Psylocke code-name. She was still a blond when she had her brief stint as Captain Britain. And yes, it's been around 20 years now, but the whole "turning-Japanese-turning-Japanese-I-really-think-so" idea is still silly. And I need to get on the ball here, Mystery Man has scooped me twice in the last 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmeaux Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 And now. . .I have seen these on eBay! http://cgi.ebay.com/Marvel-Minimates-TRU-Wave-11-Set-Fantomex-Mr-Negative-/120760560572?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1de3ebbc My guess is that "Fanboy HQ" = Texas I wish. When viewed by the "distance nearest first" filter it comes up as 875 miles from Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I believe she was called Purple Girl no? No. Or if she was, it was in jest. (never read her first American appearance) The Purple Girl is a different, Alpha Flight related character and the only known daughter of the Purple Man. (Dude's got mind control powers, stands to reason he has enough unrevealed love-children out there to qualify as a pro-ball player.) Hence her clever name.

Mystery Man Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 And I need to get on the ball here, Mystery Man has scooped me twice in the last 2 days. If it makes you feel any better, my work schedule has changed somewhat. This allows me to post more than I usually do, so I'm actually able to dispense the knowledge I have for once (or twice)!
