Yeah, I saw that.

Fully expecting Blob, both X-Men three-packs, Rogue, the X-villains five pack, and this wave to hit in the next 6 or so weeks.

I live in Iowa and received my X-Men villains 5-pack and Blob yesterday from BBTS. I also received the whole retro card wave from them last week. I do expect the 3-packs to hit here within the next couple of weeks for sure. March is going to be the expensive month for me. I've got like 15 different DC Multiverse figures that are all supposed to drop during the first two weeks of March all at once, including a couple of deluxes.
How long do you think it will take for Pulse to ship out their x-men orders? Because I tried to evenly distribute all of my orders across big bad and pulse to mitigate any potential orders from arriving on top of one another since both stores tend to have an uneven shipping schedule.

Wonder-Man review by Dan Who?

He looks pretty great, but is at least a quarter inch smaller (more I think) than I was hoping in the comparison shots. Cap and Iron Man kind of tower over him, and that's wrong.

I don't mind Wonder Man's height. It'd probably look even better with a Perez Beast on the Jackal base body, as compared to the much, much bigger Jim Lee-styled Beast.

I'd love if they put him in a 2-pack, perhaps with another Simon. There's a lot of costumes to choose for him.

I also picture Wonder Man to be slightly larger. I had my concerns about him on that body. I'd like to see him compared to the last official Wonder Man, from the Abomination wave. In the photo next to Cap, he doesn't look bad. In the photo next to Iron Man, he looks shrimpy.

I've got a custom of Beast on that body so once I get this in hand I'm going to be excited to see how they pair together.

His absolute-no-questions-asked-best costume, designed by the Beast himself, is the obvious choice here:

Not to be THAT guy, but Wonder Man is the same height as Cap in the comics (6'2") and classic Iron Man is listed as 6'6" in armor. That's represented here. The problem is head and shoulder sizes, and thickness of the limbs. Simon should probably have a little more buff in his stuff.

The more I see of that goofy-looking Wonder Man figure, the less I like it. It's incredibly frustrating because I've been wanting this version of the character since the early 2000s and this offering has so many issues that require rectification, I just don't think I can justify a purchase.

Hmm, for me, I think I'd next like a 1st Appearance Wonder Man to go with the Masters of Evil. But I wouldn't say no to that costume, either.

I think he’s looking pretty great! Cannot wait to see him in some classic avengers lineups.

Perez beast is absolutely near, if not at the very top of my want list! I could take him on the jackal body, but wouldn’t mind something with a little bit more bulk, only a bit, and longer arms. And I think everyone would have to agree, he would need a grinning expression head.

I wouldn't say they're "going back" to them. They re-used them from a figure with single jointed elbows.

They haven't completely phased out older sculpts yet, so we'll still be seeing them pop up.
