I don't know where this goes, but I also received Phoenix from Pulse today. Gotta say I'm not impressed. It's nice that she's on the most articulated female body, but I don't think a character like Phoenix needs it. She's pretty much just going to do one pose mounted on that firebird, and older bodies did that just fine. Maybe I just gotta take the opportunity to be more creative in posing.

Hey, don't argue against us. I'll take it if they want to give us the latest and greatest body for any character.

Sure, I get that. But it makes me want updates for characters that will benefit from the added articulation immediately. Bring on Psylocke and Elektra now!

You're preaching to the choir now. Throw in Mystique and a green-hooded Rogue and we're really cooking.

I'd take Invisible Woman, Kitty, etc., but I have priorities.

Some more pics I took when the Ursa Major wave came out.  This is one of my favorite displays.  I have this weird little indented wall in what became my home office in 2020 that was ideal for setting up the Armory.

That’s dope. Do you happen to remember where you got those led lights? 

 

Got them on Amazon, made by a company called Aiboo.  The specific listing doesn't work anymore, but they have same/similar products: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=aiboo+color+changing+lights

Not great to see two less than positive reviews for Phoenix and Lockjaw, given they are top of my list for this fall. I plan to use the Phoenix effect with a Dark Phoenix figure, so hope it will work. I agree, we could have used a more first appearance Lockjaw face. My suspicion is that we get that in when we get Crystal in her FF uniform as an exclusive somewhere...

I remember pre-ML Toybiz did a light up Psylocke figure, then in light up wave 2 they repainted her as Electra.  Electra having nothing to do with X-Men be damned.  I propose a 2 pack with them using the same playbook with the new female buck.

I am still tempted to get the Crimson Dawn, light purple hair/black suit variant Toy Biz made of that Psylocke. Loved the hair down look.

Anyway - Inhuman indeed.

I have a feeling this is what Hasbro has planned. An Inhuman boxset with updated Medusa, Black Bolt, Lockjaw and the other one who isn't Karnak. Or another Crystal.

Has Crystal always had two circles in her headband? I did not expect to see two black circles when I flipped her hair over.

I cant remember if it was one or 2 circles in her headband. Would have to pull out my Kirby FFs. I'm more confused when it became hair marking and not a headband. For decades I never remember any of those black lines being broken. Her headband stain her hair or something?

I was just coming to say that I got the e-mail that Wong/Bats 2-pack (with Evil Strange pack in) is scheduled to be dropped off this evening,  so I got that going for me...   sooner than I expected, I have to say.   With this and the Blackheart wave shipping now  I guess Spooky season really does start early these days.

This set might be the thing I'm looking forward to most through the end of the year.

Amazon's comic figures have been great the last few years.

  • Wong/Bats
  • Zemo/Zola
  • Rogue/Destiny
  • Cabal
  • Black Knight/Sersi
  • Ronan
  • West Coast Avengers
  • Gorr
  • Spider-Man 5-pack
  • Venom/Agony/Riot
  • Doc Ock/Silk

Really hope they keep up this comic love! Attuma, M'Baku, or Skurge would all make excellent next choices please and thanks.

Got Shipping Soon for Strange and Wong, which I'm really looking forward to (Comics Wong has been on my wishlist for years) but then got the "what is this 58 dollar charge from Pulse" email today and oops there's Punisher too. Gonna be an expensive week. Not gonna lie, I literally got that set because Bushwacker freaks out a couple of friends who collect Legends and it was worth the money to me to send them weeks of action shots of his gun finger. First figure I ever bought specifically to torment my friends.
