Carol is the only one I'll be getting for the actual character and not fodder. The articulation looks hit or miss depending on the parts reuse going on. Gimp Spidey looks well-articulated, while some of the others resemble Super Powers figures. Hell if I know.

4" Spyral!

All three of those! If you're going to make Sat-Yr-9, you might as well make the Crazy Gang and some War Wolves ;) And Onslaught in some form would be great. But as we know, making a Sat-Yr-9 figure would significantly boost interest in the next X-Men movie that no one was going to see...

I consider myself a "marvel guy" and I have no clue about the green-finned guy, the red/blue finned guy, or bearded hulk-looking dude. Or Dr Manhattan with a Cap shield. Yet we still don't have Polaris, Rachel Summers, blue Shadowcat, Domino, x-factor Beast, Meggan, Dazzler, or a single...

Marvel's full-frontal assault to wipe the X-Men from existence in order to spite Fox is in full swing at Hasbro SDCC. Not a single X-Men related character in the new 4" offerings, despite some top-tier characters still yet to be made in the seven years of MU/MI, but we get a full swath of...

Damn, I didn't realize they were 6". Now it's a definite pass.

I can see a few pieces being useful, especially Banner, but unless the set is cheap, it'll be a tough sell.

Wow, the monkeys even gave the nekkid slave girl a lady-Bic. How thoughtful!

It's in the comicon pricing vortex. Imagine if the merchants at the airport suddenly thought everything they sold was "collectible", then you might be able put yourself in the comicon pricing mindframe. It's delusional to most, but effective on the LCDs.

It's a novel idea... but it's Antman, so no thanks, Hasbro.

Thanks for the head's up. Grabbed a few Shanna's for customs. Can't resist a pretty face.

Gung-Ho.... and I'll be tempted to get an IDW Chuckles just for the novelty of it, but I need another AWE striker like I need a hole in the head. But unlike Vulture, those guys will not have "emerging market" articulation.

Oh yeah, the idea of buying multiple cases of every wave seems absurd. Yet not so long ago, it was the norm, a given. I'm not sure if I miss those days or if I'm glad they are over. Large boxes of unopened RoC toys tell me that the overbuying is best left in 2009.

Yep. I have all I could ever want/need, and my two kids simply could not care less. So even if they did come out with cool stuff, unless it filled a very specific hole in my must-have collection, I'm not sure I'd care anyway.

Who, Mattel? Jaks? Bandai? Nobody has the ability to produce quality 4" figures like Hasbro. And Big-H simply refuses to do so, and instead favors higher-margin, poorly designed movie crap. Honestly, I'm to the point, having just last month opened a few thousand (no joke) figures from the...

The lack of a waist and/or torso joint on this figure borders on criminal...

Yeah, Doc Ock and Luke Cage/Absorbing Man should not share legs. WTF. Otto should be noticeably shorter. This leg/torso combo might work for Kingpin though.

Yeah, I'm aware of their feeble attempts. Even some of the vintage Secret Wars t-shirts have recently had XM and FF characters replaced with C-list avengers, presumably for the same reason. Still, it's not like the world is going to suddenly forget the X-Men, and the movie license isn't going...

There is no chance of that. Average movie fans have no clue that one movie is a Marvel studio film vs one made by Fox, Sony, etc. We're in a tiny minority that either knows or cares. And it's all just posturing. Ike Perlmutter is just doing this out of pure spite. Comic sales and movie...

Marvel sans X-Men is like DC w/o Batman. Sure, it's has a lot of recognizable characters and valuable IP, but it's a shell of itself. My Marvel love is centered around the X-Men, and to a lesser degree Punisher and Spidey. They already ruined Spider-Man in the comics, Punisher can't maintain...
