Titania, Symbiote Spidey, Wolverine, and Iron Man are in stock at Deep Discount for $22.47/each if anyone's looking for them. They have Cap and Beyonder available as well but at a higher price, with Cap currently backordered.

Do the email signup to get an extra 10% off if you're into that kind of thing.

@h-bird I don't think they are currently giving out the extra 10% codes with email sign up.

At least they aren't giving ME one.  (I've tried a couple different emails too.)

Missed out on Spidey, but grabbed a Titania and Wolvie. Thanks of the heads up, @h-bird!

Ugh, just saw the confirmation page. Titania will ship end of Dec, but Wolverine won't til end of Jan.

Gravy train had to end at some point I guess. I fully admit to having abused the heck out of that...

I wouldn't be surprised if Wolvie ships sooner. I've had lots of "backordered" items show up weeks before the ETA.

Cracked open Spidey and Cap tonight. I REALLY like the smooth, uncomplicated look on Spidey but his joints were the stiffest I've ever had from a Spider-Man figure. Hit him with some hot water and he was better but I think he'll need a few doses. 

Cap is exactly as expected on that really excellent buck, but I didn't realize he didn't have a neutral face included. I'm kinda tempted to just pop the unmasked head from the last iteration we got of cap on this body onto this one. I don't usually like mixing and matching but I think I might like that better than raging or smirking.

I got Cap yesterday and opened him too. He’s fine, mildly disappointing. A neutral head would have been nice. A standard shield would have been nice. Perhaps both things might have made him perfect. He feels so sturdy. Colors are not bad either. I’m not a stickler for the stripes. He’s just fine, when he could have become the standard.

Love Secret Wars Iron Man and Captain America! The pinless joints on both of them make them feel so sturdy with smooth functional articulation. 

I like the colors for this Iron Man and the way his eyes in his helmet are subtly lit-up. The bright colors are how I think of the old comic art. Love the roller skates—such goofy fun.

Captain America has such a great build. I love both head sculpts. Although I agree neither head sculpt is neutral. But they each have a lot of personality. Love the smile.  I think this Captain America is outstanding for a collector who already has other Captain America figures and wants something a bit different. So it works well for me. But obviously without a full shield, this Cap is not going to work as the only Cap in your collection.

I don't have Cap or Iron Man.  Just Titania and Beyonder so far.  They are great!

Cap is preordered for after Christmas from Amazon.  He would have been perfect with an intact shield and a neutral head sculpt.  But then Hasbro couldn't milk another release down the line.

Decided to pass on Iron Man.  Don't like the blue chest piece and he really should have come with a Rhodey head sculpt.  That would have been an instant purchase if they included that.  But Hasbro had to keep him Stark 🙁

I just received Cap yesterday from Pulse and have had Beyonder, Iron Man and Titania from Target for awhile. Beyonder and Titania are both magnificent. Cap is my new default Cap, I don't care about the Shield because I seem to have nearly endless numbers of them that I can use. Iron Man is just OK but I do love the pinless tech on him and the roller skates are just a cool added touch. He's not my default Tony or Rhodey but will replace the AI IM in my armory.

FINALLY scored a Titania from the back of a Target yesterday and cracked her open. Her neck is sculpted as if she's fighting - but it's also sculpted looking very forward and down which limits her poses before her hair is super hard.

But speaking of super hard - anyone else notice Titania's big secret?

Pop-out, much? And she's got two! YIKES!

Just received my Titania from Amazon today. Glad to finally have her to add to the ranks of the Masters.

As much as I wish he had a neutral head sculpt, I will admit that this cap buck is SO much fun to pose. Like I've been fiddling with him in different poses while working on an editing project all day today. He's really great. 

I think Titania is my Marvel Legends figure of the year, if only because she really deserved to finally get a proper figure. Definitely need a new Crusher to go with her too.

Very much so. As discussed before, the new Luke Cage body would be perfect for a new Absorbing Man. I hope that comes sooner than later.

Just picked up Iron Man yesterday at my local GameStop, and I admit I'm honestly torn whether or not I want to open it. I mean, I've already got this figure twice now, and where would I display a third version (even though this version has pinless limbs)? Plus, the packaging is so nice. I may just hang it on the wall.
