Iron Man and Beyonder arrived and I haven’t bothered to open either of these boring figures. Titania should be on her way (all from Pulse) so when she shows up, I’ll open.

Beyonder, boring? How dare you!

I guess it's not the most exciting figure in the world - but I'm still glad to have him, and there's no other look I'd have preferred. Though I've also had him for a few days now and haven't bothered to open him either, so maybe I'm just full of it...

I think I'll get Titania if I see her on sale. She looks fun. And i can just remove the paint on her torso to make her accurate. I almost wanna get Wolverine but i have a feeling I'd regret this one if I did.

My Titania stills says she's shipping 12/26. Ugh. She's the one I wanted most.

I picked up Beyonder and Titania at a Target in California while on a work trip out here (my first time in Cali). I only brought carry on luggage and I hope the TSA doesn't question why I have little plastic dollies in my bag.

They always do.  Every time.  They make a big deal out of it too.   Usually they call co-workers over in a super loud voice.   Often they'll claim they have to inspect the bag to verify the contents aren't dangerous and pull them out.   Be ready...

I've had Titania and Beyonder ship from Pulse at this point.  But still no movement on Wolverine.

Those of you finding them at Target, have you seen restocks or is it one and done?

I'm in the same boat.  The slow boat from China 🙁

 

@Norm

I saw Titania and Iron Man at Target when they finally brought them out of the back. (Missed the rest like usual) Titania sat around for a couple days.  Since then nothing. Kinda wish I picked her up.  Amazon says after Christmas, but I doubt it.

Got Iron Man and Beyonder. Love them! Wonderful to get a fully pinless comic classic Iron Man like this in the classic comic colors. The roller skates and blaster are a lot of fun. I have multiples of this one preordered. 

Beyonder is a great antagonist to finally get in figure form. I’d like the silver armored version. The head sculpt is fantastic. Looks all new? Not reuse of Wonder Man/Molecule Man.

Got Beyonder today. Only 15 degrees here, so I waited a bit to open him. Personally I love his original look. It really takes me back to that age. He has no lower torso. I wish he didn't look so nefarius/diabolical, but I love his world building accessory. Happy to have him.

Titania arrives next, and she's the one I'm most excited for.

Just preordered everyone but Wolverine at Gamestop while I was in store. For whatever reason, Wolverine came out now vs. January for everyone else and they are now sold out of him so I just have to get lucky and find him in the wild. Looking forward to the Symbiote Spidey on the Amazing Fantasy body. I feel like it poses better then the retro one simply because the head is on a ball and hinge and is better for being able to look up and down rather than the double ball joint. The pin less joints also hold dynamic poses much better. Just MHO. I thought I wouldn't much care about pin less joints but now I prefer them. Part of the reason I want all of them especially Cap.

Opened up Beyonder. As one of an apparently small minority that genuinely likes Secret Wars II (and ignores all the things done with the Beyonder afterwards), I've wanted this figure for decades, and even did a custom one a long long time ago, so it's supercool to finally have an official one in hand.

I do have two nitpicks, the first being wanting alternate expressions. I'd have liked a head with a big dopey grin with less sinister in it. Second, I'd have preferred he be a little beefier, since his "body" is just a copy of Steve Rogers but with dark hair.

But it's still fantastic to have.

I like the Beyonder figure. I've got mine mounted on a flight stand in the "sitting criss-cross with Battleworld in his hands" pose Hasbro did. Works well.

Still impatiently awaiting Titania's arrival, though. She's the real winner of the wave for me.

Titania arrived about an hour ago. She looks amazing, though I wish her hair was bigger. More '80's.

As soon as she warmed up, I used brush cleaner to remove the pink. Still need to get some tiny bits, but the Army/Navy game is back on. Her lower torso doesn't have the flesh plastic, but Tamiya flat paint's white, flesh, and a splash of red matches almost perfectly. Just 1 coat right now, but she looks much better now. More accurate.
