Yesterday, Amazon sent an email apologizing because my Wolfsbane order would be getting a new delivery date and they would be following up with that date.  

Overnight, I received an email that Wolfsbane (and Ikaris) had shipped. 

The package was just delivered 😂

what a roller coaster. Don’t play with our emotions, Amazon!

Great pic Norm.  Wolfsbane looks pretty good there.  Would you say Hasbro toned down the orange?  Some pictures look very orange while others like yours look more brown.  Possibly a running change....

Nah, def very orange. I feel like this should have been Feral. It’s too tall and thick for what I picture Rahne being. But I think it will eventually grow on me. I do prefer the Wolfsbane head sculpt we got from the Moonstar figure, and don’t understand why that wasn’t reused. At least the uniform colors match the other X-Factor members, with the exception of her X emblem having a white background.

First off, I know these are shipping soon from Pulse, and I'm so excited about all the X-men related characters in this Wave.  I didn't really feel I wanted the others that I needed to get to build Zabu that are non X-Men characters (like Icarus/Red Widow), but after seeing reviews all 3 of them look like really fun figures.  So, I'll probably keep them.

Second, and speaking of Pulse.  Has anyone had to renew their Pulse Premium Membership yet?  I should have has to by now, but I'm still a Premium Member and haven't got any e-mail or notice from Pulse about needing to re-up soon.

So, anyone else had their premium Membership expire yet this year?

Yes, I got a Pulse email May 2 and I renewed. You can check the Pulse site when it expires.

I went to Macy's to see if it had Zabu wave, but did get an extra Scarlet Spider and Tombstone. Amazon has sent Red Widow and Ka-Zar. Just waiting for Cable to be sent next. The rest will be sent by Pulse.

I wonder how a brown wash would look on Wolfsbane's fur, to tone down the brightness.  The fur texture should hold the wash well.

Huh. I knew mine should be up around this time but hadn't thought much about it - I just checked and it's still showing me as a Premium member even though I renewed on May 9th last year. 

Kinda feeling like maybe we shouldn't make too much noise about this, lest someone notices and fixes it...

According to Amazon I should be getting Ka-Zar from this wave, along with Gold Iron Man, Count Nefaria, and Whiplash from the Iron Man wave tomorrow (5/20). A day ago they none of them were scheduled to arrive until May 31. My birthday is this coming Saturday, so that's a nice surprise.

Everyone but Cable seems to be moving. I’ve received all but Ikaris, which should arrive today. Got charged by Pulse for all but Cable overnight. I wonder what’s the hold up? She-Hulk from the retro IM wave is also in limbo.

From NORM's pic it looks like Wolfsbane matches close enough to her other X-Factor teammate's colors?  Maybe I'll pick this up after all.  

Cable gets a big push thanks to XM97, but I still can't get past his botched execution.  The straps and the cheap-n-easy painted-on boots.......I can't.

Man I would love a Zabu but beyond "maybe" Wolfsbane and Ka-Zar there's nothing here for me.

So,  on the one hand it's a nice surprise to get figures early.   On the other hand,  from a budgeting perspective it's always such a mess when not only one- but two full waves decide to ship in full more than a month earlier than originally listed.    I've been playing the Hasbro pre-order game long enough to know they (almost) always show up earlier than originally solicited -  but I truly did not think that the Iron Man wave would ship as if it were part of the Zabu wave.    That still took me by surprise.

Yeah, trying to budget with Hasbro pre orders is almost impossible now.  Their pre order ETA's are useless. It makes it tricky.  

I got the e-mails that my entire Zabu Wave except for Cable, has charged as well.  Now Cable is estimated for May 28th.  I oddly also got charged for the SHIELD 3 pack.  I wasn't expecting that until next month.  And even expecting it next month was expecting it a month early.

Yeah, I'm absolutely psyched to get this wave early, but I'm looking at the combination of Marvel, Joes, and Star Wars stuff all shipping at the same time when it was spread out between May and August and starting to get a little anxious. I've started ordering through Amazon more and more lately because I can guiltlessly cancel a preorder through them but feel bad for other retailers. 

Amazon shipped everything but Cable. Really excited to get a wave of hodge podge characters actually. I used to really liked the Toy Biz and early Hasbro days where waves had less of a theme.
