Saw Iceman on the classic card. I thought he would be good to get when I saw him online, but he looks terrible.
Every store around me is at that point again where they're not buying anything, letting it clear out before they do a winter reset.

Yeah, I had to look at about 3 different Icemans before I found a good one. The only paint on the whole figure is the eyes but they still managed to screw it up.
I also got Storm from the retro X-Men wave, and she's awesome. I've been waiting for that version of the character for years and they nailed it.
And the new Nightcrawler is the best Legends figure in years. 3 heads, all new body sculpt (I think), cool pirate sword... he's perfect and I love the little elf.

I need Nightcrawler. Might have to get him off eBay. I hate doing that, but he's too cool.
Yeah, the Iceman I saw had a weird pattern on his face where the plastic oozed together, and the end result was that all the lines looked like a sphincter on his forehead.
EDIT: Just got Nightcrawler from BBTS. They still have it listed as a pre-order, but that's fine since I have a few things in my loot pile that I can wait on shipping.

Been finding the QC of the Legends and the Black Series figs have taken a bit of a hit lately.
All the episode 1 Obi Wans Ive seen locally, he looks like hes suffered a stroke and a good chunk of the legends have had really poor paint apps.
Either its gotten worse, or I’ve gotten used to the qc of the Mezco figures and it stands out more.

I really wanted a Jessica Jones, but of the dozen or so that I saw, they all had the worst eyes imaginable. It was like Marty Feldman and Sloth were contributing donors in her conception, the eyes were all so fucked up.
OTOH, the Spidey/MJ set that's at Target now looks incredible as far as the apps and likeness on MJ.

It seems like every figure from Trash Compactor Scene Luke onward has this terrible gloss on the face. It's what some of the Legends figures had when they just started using face printing, and the Black Series figures never had it until now. It looks terrible, and I hope they fix it before they release another figure I actually want like Lobot or an Archive Lando or something.

The one time in the last 6 months Target actually put out new Star Wars Black figures was a few weeks ago when they finally got the wave with Ezra Bridger. One of Ezra's eyes was printed twice as big as the other one and way off center, halfway between the ear and forehead. I should've taken a picture.

I was super excited for the new faces, but seeing Maul shiny like he hit the gym or was sweating and Anakin looked super glossy, I said fuck it to the line. The armoured figures look great, same with the non MCU legends, but the quality took a huge dive lately, which sucks, cause these were pretty awesome figures for awhile.

The 80th Anniversary figures are cooooooool. As much as I despise Walmart with a burning passion, they have an exclusive Cap figure that I absolutely had to have. I went to look for him and they had not only Cap, but Thor and Iron Man too so I bought all 3. I hated myself for spending that much money at that place, but damn these are some cool toys.
They also had the Colossus/Juggernaut set which looks AMAZING but I'll wait until Target gets that one (not that Target is that much better than Walmart, but hey).

Target doesn't sell guns, and I've never seen feces on the floor of a Target.

Walmart realizes the dangerous impact their products can have in the wrong hands, which is why they're pulling displays of violent video games.

I've never seen any of the 2-packs at any of the WMs in the area. Target always has them.

I haven't seen any Legends at any of the WMs in my area for years. I have seen poop on the floor.

Grabbed Doppelganger Spidey the other day. It'd be fun to have a Maximum Carnage group, but Shriek hasn't been made.

Apparently they made a figure of Punisher in the War Machine armor and even though I already have a Punisher I'm gonna need one of these.

It's really just War Machine from Civil War with a skull painted on the chest.

So pretty much what it was in the comics? I'm cool with that.

I'm trying to get the TPBs of Castle as Ghost Rider in space. They look fun.

I've heard it's some of the goofiest fun Marvel's done in a while. I may look into it sometime down the line.
What I'm waiting for is the new "Beware the Ghost Rider" series that's FINALLY bringing back Dan Ketch.
Oh and if I'm not mistaken there's a Legends figure of Cosmic Ghost Rider and his space bike coming soonish.

It's not even coming out until April. I'll either wait until it's closer or not even bother if it's sold out by then.
