Pulse charged for Blob and the Storm/Forge/Jubilee pack and sent notification that the 5-Pack is incoming, as well. Happy days!

The only issue I have is they didn’t finish painting the Spot. He should have more black circles. Guess I’ll have to do it myself.
:lol:

I am totally planning to turn him into The Spot too.
There is no other use for him. Zero.

Save yourself the customizing time and money, friends. Hasbro will do an official release of The Spot. A blank buck with some dots? The only thing easier would be a blank buck with some zeros. The Spot is coming, it is certain.

Got charged for Blob by Pulse overnight, so, hopefully, he'll ship real soon. You never know with Pulse, though. Sometimes they charge you and don't even ship the stuff for a week. Also totally forgot he was $60, hahaha! I guess that might nudge me toward selling the old BaF after all.
Pulse charged overnight and just received a shipping notice in the last 30 minutes for Blob. Forgot about the price as well lol.

Excellent! Hopefully, that means Pulse is finally getting their stuff together and getting ready to ship the Banshee 3-pack and the freakin' Puff Adder wave already! I know it's only been about a month, but the lag between the major channels receiving the goods and BBTS getting them feels like an eternity. I need me some Orb n' Strucker already! :lol:

Blob and Storm/Forge/Jubilee have left the building and Pulse even managed to put them in the same box!

Although, they are shipping before and separate from the TVC Speeder Bike I was charged for yesterday, so Pulse still being Pulse.

yea, i don't think any C list spider-man villains are in any danger of not getting made

Spot/Swarm/Man-Wolf/Vermin/Will-O the Wisp/Calypso/Carrion etc.. they're all coming just a matter of when.

You's guys Stryfe is going to look stupid without Zero.

I got shipping notices for the 3 packs, Blob and the 5 pack.

And I have no freaking idea when I'm going to be able to open them, stuff's starting to pile up. Still haven't been able to open the retro carded stuff(Spiral, Wolverine, Longshot) the war machine repaint and some other boxes that I've forgotten what's inside it's been so long.

Just can't find time these days to open everything.

Got these all opened. These aren’t great pictures and don’t do the figures justice, but they’re amazing.

This “wave” will be hard to beat this year.

He looks stupid with spotless Spot, so it’s a wash.

I really want that Banshee and Forge. Beautiful figures. Never loved the uniforms for the rest of them, but Banshee and Forge definitely give me old Toy Biz nostalgia tingles.

Got the Villains 5-pack today. Has to be the worst set of Marvel Legends I have ever purchased (started collecting back at the beginning).

Never been so disappointed.

Order of worst to worst:

Vertigo: my 2nd favorite X-character and completely done wrong. They just reused everything and it’s Sue Storm’s head. Her powers are essential to telling her story and nothing is included. Keeping my custom instead.

Pretty Boy: can’t get him to stand straight. Body is warped and made of crappy plastic. Absolutely no paint to really make him stand out. Placing him behind others to hide how terrible it is.

Zero: plastic is so bad that one of his legs is floppy. Says a lot when this is my least hated figure here.

Random: not big enough. Looks so tiny next to other ML’s. Had to modify it to actually look like the character more.

Stryfe: the supposed reason for purchasing the set. Cheap plastic all over. Not much of an improvement.

Loved the Dr. Strange portal though.

Hasbro is running on fumes now. Unless their quality starts matching their prices, I feel we are on the downward trajectory of their tenure. Definitely getting out of the game if we continue to be given low-effort slop like this set.

I hear that. Fortunately my buying is way, way down as well.

Open the blind box stuff first. If there's any issues hiding in those paper bags, best to contact whoever you bought it from sooner than later.

Huh...I wonder if maybe you got a dud?

Other than Sue Storm cosplaying as Vertigo, I think this is a pretty solid 5-pack.

All the plastic/joints on my figures are very good. Not cheap feeling at all...
