I expected an update on Giant-Man during PulseCon but I don't think they even mentioned him? What's the latest we've heard on his arrival?

Ryan and Dan have both separately said October when asked by interviewers in recent months.

I see the Sentinel 2 pack is still lingering on Pulse taunting me to buy a 3rd and final set.  We've reached the sweet spot where the FOMO has died down.  Everyone has as many as they currently want.  They'll sell out eventually and you'll see the stragglers lamenting not getting them when they had the chance.  The trick is not to be "that" guy.

I just wish I knew what the next paint job will look like.  I don't hate this one but I can imagine it being better...I can also imagine it being flawed in its own unique way in which case why not keep what I have.  But selling off 4 to make room will be easier than selling off 6.  Man.....those first-world decisions.......

@yojoebro82 The only real paint alteration I'm hoping for would be to match the bigger haslab Sentinel. They could keep doing ones from the games though. I've always liked the green/white and the orange/blue variants so that might be fun.

Debating if I want to pre-order two so I can throw the second head on the blue costumed version.

What's with that pose?

Is he stretching, trying to limber-up before going for a quick dash?

@feces-flinger Pretty sure it's supposed to be the sort of 'starting gun' position for a footrace. It's just that he doesn't have the splayed finger hands to make it look more accurate. Nice that he can look that far up though.

Yeah that's definitely a "starting blocks" pose for a track sprinter

Don't know if this should get a golf clap or chorus of boos.

@fac Golf boos. Just boo very quietly.

Fortunately I keep my spirit in an unbreakable jar for just such occasions.

Not related to bad jokes or anything else really, but why is it that Marvel Legends are the only "adult collectible" that is consistently not stocked at my Targets? 

I did a casual toy run yesterday on the hunt for something not ML related and I scanned the aisles:  Transformers-check, DC Multiverse-check, GI Joe-check, kiddie Marvel-check, Todd Marvel statues-check, hole where ML should be-check, Star Wars-check, Wrestling-check, MOTU-check, Ninja Turtles-check, Jurassic Park-check......

This has been the norm for some time in my area.  Yes, on a rare occasion I will find something new dangling, but that's only because I was there at exactly the right time. They are one-and-done offerings, they aren't coming back after that single, small assortment sells through.  Nothing ever close to being a hearty, robust selection of figures.  And yes, the selection of the other toy lines mentioned always varies, but there is always SOMETHING there to show that those lines exists.  Not Marvel Legends.  It's different for them.  I don't get why.
