Gobby was delayed til 12/21 for me as well. @e-rock you might be the only person I've heard of Amazon shipping Gobby to haha. 

I don't mind the wait.... eye twitches

Got the same Gobby delay, but I'm not too pressed about it. Sandman got delayed a week or so and then shipped the next day. Not saying it'll happen again, but I'm sure it won't be the whole extra month, especially since he's popping up for some folks. They might just be adjusting dates to account for the holiday rush.

Shortly after my last posting about Tom, Andrew, and Murdock shipping, MJ shipped as well. Should still be here some time today. Just missing Tobey and the deluxes. So happy to finally be getting these beauties!

Amazon came through with Tom, Andrew, MJ, and Murdock. All pretty solid!

Matt is mostly re-use, but a nice blend of figures so that he doesn't feel too "samey". I also really like that they made the suit matte, versus shiny. Not sure why, but I think it just feels a lot nicer.

MJ is really nice too, even with the reused legs. I think they implemented the sweater really nicely in a way that looks natural, and of course having the Spell Box is super cool. I might use the extra open hand for Morgan Elsbeth, since the fingers aren't as long as some of the comic hands, and the skin tones aren't too far off and would be covered by the green flame anyway.

Andrew and Tom's head sculpts look great! Definitely the best we've gotten so far. Anyone else have super tight joints, though? Almost felt like I was gonna break them, especially on Tom. I took his unmasked head off to put the masked head on, and the neck piece even started to come off the torso a bit. Was a bit of a push to get the masked head on as well. Still really like them, though! Just gotta get Tobey so I can have the unmasked trio.

Have any Target landing pages been found?  I've been trying to find the DPCI's for this wave.

I've scanned the UPCs into the Target app and "no results found" which means the pages are blocked. I'm guessing they'll pop up on Sunday.

I got MJ and Sandman today and Sandman was a weird extra "ledge" between his diaphragm joint and his torso, so I'm holding off on opening him. MJ I switched around her sweater since the sweater should almost hang flat and it doesn't really help like how I thought. Needs a very flat-chested upper torso to sub on to that body. Probably not worth effort for accuracy.

I think Gobby is my pick for figure of the Year! Love this release, and outside of some warping I can see the arm blade doing for some, no complaints! Glorious figure.

Sandman is decent enough. Glad to have any villains on the shelf. MJ is fine I guess. Boring figure to me. I like it more than her 1st figure though.

I’m sorry for those getting the delay notice. This figure. Holy cow!

This scene in the film, Peter wailing on him and he just laughs. Damn.

I’m still trying to find how I want to work in the glider. I wanted so much to just have shots of Peter and Norman going at it. So much to unpack with this one.  Ock will be the same.

Thwipp!

I got Sandman. Like others said, I wasn't excited for him like the others but I'm kinda glad he came first as I probably spent more time posing him that I may have had the whole wave come today. Better than I anticipated and I'm very happy.

There's a typo in your caption. But I thought you should know it put a big smile on my face, almost as big as Norman's. 🙂

If you're still seeing any social media caption variation like "Goblin is an awful figure, Hasbro have really dropped the ball this time" like I have, you know exactly the type of person posting it, and can swiftly disregard them and probably disregard the stance they take on this generation of Legends.

It's simply lunacy to suggest this is anything but a complete success, and I'm glad they waited until now to do the wave despite the whining it's a year after NWH. I'd rather they do a great rendition as opposed to a mediocre concept art based run.

That said, Peter's blue should be more of a lighter, reflective color like the figuarts version.

I ordered some curtains on Black Friday, and randomly in that package I see they threw my Tobey figure into that package. So I should be getting Matt andn Tobey tomorrow. Leaves just Tom, who should come next Thursday, and Andrew who is slated for Dec 21 pending delays/early shipment

Ha! It had been a long day. I should have gone to bed. But I wanted to play with the figure.

Thanks.

Thwipp!

I went from supposed to be getting Andrew yesterday, to today, to December 2nd.

Tom stuck around to next Tuesday.

Tobey went from January to December to Monday.

Hopefully Andrew comes in sooner.

These NWH preorders have been an emotional rollercoaster.

My partner found Andrew at Target today -tried to get it for me and got street dated. She was so pissed; she’s never dealt with this kind of thing before.
