    MU update

    While it might be a good figure, I'm skipping Steve. I prefer to pretend that bucky-cap never happened and just go on with Steve being Cap, as it should always be.

    MU update

    I want the classic Captain Britain, but I could really do without the 83rd spider-man. Does every comic pack have to come with Spidey, Wolvie, or Iron Man? I'm so horribly sick of those three. They are worse than Duke, Snake Eyes, and Cobra Commander. But I'm happy about the new single...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    To quote Hanz and Franz, "Hear me now, believe me later." Well there is always risk ordering from China, but so far, I've ordered: Faith Leader Ultra Leader MGT-01 Arcee MP-01/02 heads Kup heads MP Thrust MP Dirge MP Ramjet And they've all arrived without incident (ignoring a...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    Technically no, they aren't according to hasbro, but that information came around long after sunstorm did, so a good chunk of TF fandom accepts him in that role anyway. I know if they make the green and blue ones, I'd display sunstorm with them, perfectly accurate or not. And while I might...

    Well, he's not an oddball if they make acidstorm and bluestorm (or whatever the f$%& his name is). I like rainmakers for some reason, despite their total 3 sec of screen-time.

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    I kept the first one, but the other two were all taped together in a very expedient chinese fashion, and by the time I even realized that they were underneath all that packing tape, I didn't much care about keeping them in their battered state, as if I could have gotten all the tape off anyway...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    Good review. I haven't taken mine out of the packages. I think "they" (whoever chinese folks "they" are) did a fantastic job. And while I'm sure we could all do customs, the time, effort, and cost (even if you started with a clearanced WM skywarp) would exceed what I paid for these guys. I'm...

    Especially if you've got a MOTUC Vikor in need of something to slay!

    Marvel Universe SDCC 2011

    Visually, the detail on the ML version is far superior. But the MU version is 4" taller and probably more play-friendly. I think I paid about $50 for a loose ML one a couple of years ago, but they may have become more rare since then. Still, I'll have a place for both in my X-Men lore, as...

    Marvel Universe SDCC 2011

    Oh, I know that's entirely possible/likely. My daughter seems to like all the imaginext Batman stuff more than my son. They can have the stuff that interests them, I'll keep the stuff that gives me nostalgic warm fuzzies, and I'll ebay what's left in ten years when it's all hard to find...

    Marvel Universe SDCC 2011

    This is the stuff that makes me excited to be a parent. My kids will flip when they are older and realize what a gold mine of cool toys I've amassed for them. A 16-inch mutant killing robot... I would have given a limb for such a thing when I was 9 years old.

    Anyone notice that She-Hulk is going to have bicep articulation? It's about damn time... freakin' 2011 and the current females don't have swivel arms... but at least they're getting better.

    Marvel Universe SDCC 2011

    The older one is smaller but more detailed, @ 12". The new one is 4" taller but more of a comic/cartoon look. I've got one older one assembled and one still in the various packages with the figures. It's very cool, but I'm looking forward to these new ones for the improved scale if nothing...

    Marvel Universe SDCC 2011

    The Marvel Q&A apparently hinted that the classic colors sentinel will hit retail at a later time. So I guess the exclusive portion is the giant blister/card part. That's good to know so I won't fill up on the weird silver legs version. While pink/purple seems silly when you think about it...

    Captain America figures

    Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy. I don't read Marvel cosmic titles, but I hear that DNA did a good job with those characters. I think fogger is a GotG fan, no?
