My god did anyone else see that GI Joe vehicle set? What a deal.

Going to try to use that for some Shield/Howling Commandos/Cap.

Do we know what stores are selling these? Fan channel?

 

I guess so. They're up on Amazon and BBTS and all those places right now. 

I preordered all three because I am a sucker. The last round of Spider-Man retro figures didn't do it for me, but these are great.

@derrabbi @popoman D'oh.  You guys are right.  Whenever I hear scale mail, I think of those two, even though their torso's are covered.   Maybe Triton?  He has those little shoulder collar things, but maybe this torso could be reused for him.

I'll get Scarlet Spider if he's $25 but he comes with three pairs of reuse hands instead of two so who knows if that's going to make him $28+ or what.

Yeah, if only we knew the actual price. It's only been two hours since pre-orders opened.

I am so amped about that Scarlet Spider. THAT'S what I've always wanted. Give it to me. Put it in my hands.

You guys are almost making want to buy the Scarlet Spider. I only associate him with the clone saga and I stopped reading comics regularly around that time. I’ll have to look up his other appearances (assuming he’s been around after that) and do some reading.

I ordered 3x Scarlets and a jacko, no interest in the other one, thought it was the uncle Ben Spiderman, but don't like the big legs and feet, looks whack

I've always liked the look of Last Stand Spider-man but I don't like the reliance on overlays recently for certain jacketed/shirted figures. It's passable for people like Cage and Wonder-Man, but it's very noticeable for a Spider-Man, who should have more mobility. I mean the others should also, but Spider-man in particular. I think a mid-torso wobble joint could have allowed him to keep the jacketed look but also allow for more range of motion.

 

Jack O'Lantern looks great. Hard to go wrong with a flaming pumpkin head.

Haven't made it to the online stores yet, but when I saw this I rushed right over.

Neither Green Goblin nor Black Knight need a scale mail torso though. Now Triton on the other hand

Aside from "that's a pretty sharp-looking Jack O'Lantern", all I could think of is ...Triton is coming.

I have no complaints about that Jack O'Lantern. It meets every expectation. I've loved the character and his look since way back in his Ditko days. I'm so glad they took the time to give him proper scales and translucent flames. 

I don't want to come across as fansplaining, but did his platform really ever let him fly? I always liked it as the pogo platform that let him bounce around. It was very distinctive. I'd be sad if someone got lazy and just made it fly.

A machine Man reference! That’s a deep cut. I didn’t know who Jack was until he started fighting Spider-Man.
