I liked Forge in the Fall of the Mutants. The Adversary was one creepy SOB.

Once the original five left, that was pretty much true. But the PAD era had them working for the govt via Val Cooper, which was an interesting twist for an X-book at the time. I liked Havok, Polaris, and Madrox, so I read it. I'm not a huge Strong Guy fan, but the novelty of having a really...

I enjoyed Peter David's original run on X-Factor, back when Larry Stroman could still draw.

I've ordered from OPP once before, and he does good work. I'm anxious to get my Guido head so that I can make use of one of the worthless Hulk figs I bought in the early cases of MU figures a few years ago. Lord how I hate the hulk. But he'll make an excellent Strong Guy. Not sure where...

I just saw this head available from Onyx and thought it was really cool. What are the odds Hasbro is going to make a Guido? http://onyxphoenixproductions.ecrater.com/p/15436161/sh-36 Feel free to post other cool MU parts here too.

So tonight I'm watching "The Enforcer" aka Dirty Harry 3, and the main bad guy at the beginning is shirtless wearing jeans and a leather vest. He has on a bit too much makeup wields a shotgun, killing people at a shanty. It struck me that this almost has to be the inspiration for Torch or...

I love how Prof X is part of W4 '12... available in Spring '13! Distribution on these used to be solid, as they were plentiful everywhere. Now they have the same problem as the other hasbro lines, in that I'm still seeing year-old figures on the pegs while new waves come and go without ever...

Painting issues aside, BA has a good cast. Sure, you'll have to wait ~3 months for it to arrive, but the head and helmet are pretty nice if you can wait. http://www.brokenarrowtoys.com/cart/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=1110

I love the use of the single-gang electrical box for the gun base!

Agreed. Zemo is ok, but I don't really need any more D-list Avengers villains.

It's odd that they're hitting ebay and the etailers don't even have pre-orders up yet. Usually ebay is the indicator that they're only 2-3 weeks from hitting the states.

May the fourth be with you!

That's right, newly sculpted SW battle packs will have an astounding five (5) points of articulation. The Kenner gods would be proud. http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Probe_Droid_Limits_In_Articulation_144571.asp Considering I found that number of POA to be horribly lacking when I was...

I'm not sure if this is good, meaning that they aren't going to be bloated with unnecessary personnel and corporate red tape, or if it only further reduces the odds of products actually making it to store shelves. I'm all for companies getting lean-n-mean because the larger they get, the less...

Yeah, I found a psylocke today, and poor Betsy uses the horrid phoenix sculpt. It's just fugly. Hasbro has the ability sculpt some good looking women (see SW figures), but Marvel gets the shaft for some reason. It's like MU is the training ground, and when they get good, they get pulled up to...

I can't see colossus's right thumb! :o

I use an acrylic brush-on dull coat. I just assume that there is no way to spray small items like figures without getting too much on there.

Sadly, the "processing" designation is no sign of progress. My BA order from early Dec is "processing" as well, but given that he hasn't shipped anything in two months, it does make me wonder. Hopefully things are moving along, even if it's slower than we'd like. Honestly, BA is always...

I'm pretty sure this thing inspired some Hasbro designers back in the day...

yeah, a suited figure has soooooo many customization possibilities, I'll be buying every one I see. Hopefully they will find ways to rerelease the mold in the form of some other characters, as I suspect there won't be enough ProfX's to meet customizers' demands.
