The next She-Hulk figure must have double-jointed elbows. It's been so long since we've gotten one that they can't half-ass it now.
I’ve no reason to believe that now that double elbows are becoming standard on current female bodies that a She-Hulk wouldn’t get them as well. Even the 1:18 Marvel Universe figure had them! I do see your concern though, since the raging version we got with the Super Skrull wave has single elbows…
She (and all female figures) also needs to have some form of lower abdomen articulation. It's started driving me crazy that they're making all these otherwise awesome figures that can't move at all at the waist. Really limits a ton of posing options.
Lol You’ve got to love comic book approximations of late 80’s into the 90’s big hair..
I'd love to have a redraft of the Avengers Disassembled-Jen (the non-berserk version) and a FA Shulk, of course. My wildest hope is an FF Jen (modeled after Byrne’s vision for her – with the perm you mentioned) in a 2pack with Wyatt Wingfoot.
Just wanted to say how awesome Crystar is.
I know nothing of the character, but damn, what a cool looking and well executed toy!
Just got my preorder for Vision from Gamestop. He is the one I absolutely had to have. I know there are quite a few who don't think he isn't much of an upgrade over the retro carded one but IMHO he definitely is. Way better face, no glossy colors, taller and open hands (yes they are slightly oversized but not terribly so). The cape is great to. Really happy to have him. He and Scarlet Witch look great together.
I don’t know if this is true for anyone else, but as much as I love Zarda, she’s incredibly frustrating. No matter how careful I am, and even standing on a figure stand, she constantly falls over after a certain amount of time. And she always falls forward. Really frustrating.

I ended up going for a waist clamping stand on her. Her knees are mushy. To be honest I've grown to old for all these shelf dives. I've been going with waist stands in general rather than the puck snapped in their feet style stands. I just wish the Kaiser "doll" stands had an inbetween. The have ones made for the 4" and 7" size that can be fudged in for a 6" figure with a little finesse. They really are one and done for posing on the shelf.
@thor-el My Power Princess is using two of those FiguresLab round figure stands on Amazon and she hasn't fallen since switching to them. The single stand wasn't cutting it. Since the holes on her feet are in her toes, you'll want her heels to line up with the back ends of the stands while leaving most of the stands in front of her feet. It won't necessarily fix the combo of "gummy plastic and heat" but it's worked for me.
Crystar had been sitting my Pile of Loot since December, but I finally shipped him last week and it arrived on Sunday. Overall, nice looking take on the old Remco toy. I wish it was a little easier to get two-handed sword poses with him as he can't nail his pose from the cover if issue 8, but few Marvel Legends could. This figure is a prime example that pinless does not always equal best. The most detracting thing about it are the miscolored elbows and knees which makes me wish I could see how it would have looked with pins instead. Similarly, the hinge in the neck is a bit wonky looking and it might have been better served to go old school with a stationary ball and socket setup. Overall though, a cool figure and it has enough stuff in the box to make it feel like a complete package. I'm curious if this guy ends up being a one-off or not. It seemed to attract a lot of attention and sold quick, but that could have just been all the 40-somethings getting real excited and buying it up initially only for it to die out fast as it looks to be in stock in a lot of places now.

Patience pays off, once again. I kept having to wait to get Power Princess until I finally saw her pop back on Amazon. So, I was able to finally get her and at a discount. She was only $21.25 coming all the way from Australia via Amazon Global. I'm so happy to finally have the core Squadron Supreme together and hopefully one day we get more of the Squadron.
Has she shipped? I've also had one on order from Amazon Global and they just cancelled and hid my order with no notification, and then when I tried again they haven't shipped yet for weeks. Hopefully they show up - fingers crossed!
Mine arrived Thursday. It took just about a week after it shipped to arrive. She's still showing as in stock but the price has gone up quite a bit. Hopefully, yours will get shipped soon.
