Pre-ordered Doom and HydraOckSpidy. He looks rad as shit. I have Thing from the Walgreens set and he's great. No need for the others in that wave. I'd really like the Hobgoblin but don't want the rest of the figures, even though the all look very nicely realized.

I think when this hits clearance prices at Target I'll get one. I don't know shit about Squirrel Girl, but the scooter could make for a fun accessory. I have enough DP Legends that I don't need the deluxe one with scooter.

I actually like Squirrel Girl, but earrings on a superhero never made sense to me, and the face on this figure looks like somebody's 48 year old aunt. Not a fan of this look of hers in general, but I might have gone for it if things were different.

Grabbed Shang-Chi recently. Great figure overall. Comes with a million hands and none of the many joints and pivot spots are visually jarring. His sculpt blends all of them very well.
I have Hobby's torso and arms now. Might just have to see if I can get the rest of the pieces at all reasonably.

The new Sugar Man series can eat ass. Nothing I want there. And the Abomination series isn't interesting except for Mach 1. Might get a full Thunderbolts team soon eventually.

That Sugar Man series is the tits. I've been wanting them to do AOA stuff for a while, so a whole wave at once is awesome.

I think AOA is sheer stupid '90s camp, but for some reason I found myself pre-ordering Morph, Jean Grey, and Sunfire because of how ridiculous they are. It's pretty much the same reason I have White Rabbit on pre-order, too (yes, I know she dates back to the '80s). I pretty much denounced this shit, and then caved, and now I feel kind of ashamed.
After waiting more than six years for X-Men Legacy Rogue, I am happy we're getting her, but I am kind of unsure about the face sculpt. I think she looks kind of like Tricia Helfer or Terry Farrell, so I have no complaints, but it's not what I had in my head or what I've seen in most of the panels or on the covers, and I might prefer it if she had a reworked version of the '90s Rogue headsculpt or maybe the "Classic" head from the Walgreens Emma Frost. I don't know. I am even more unsure about the thicc thighs. They're as wide as her waist. I am also worried that since FA Storm is a Target exclusive, Rogue will be a Walmart exclusive and I'll never have a chance to get one without going to Ebay and paying twice what retail would be.

Ended up with everything for Demogoblin except the head, so I got it from eBay for ten bucks. Totally worth it, he's fucking awesome.

If anyone does get both of the Spider-Man figures in the wave, swap their heads. They both look much cooler with the head swap. One on the right totally looks like any possible Snake Eyes figure, just with some red and blue.

(pic stolen from some douchebag eBay scalper who wants 80 bucks for it) I found this sweet-ass Red Hulk at Target last night that I had no idea even existed. I love it when something slips through the cracks and just suddenly shows up with no notice. I'm sure some people knew about about and are hunting for it, but it was news to me and a fun surprise in the middle of a shitty and kinda scary week.

That Rulk is badass. Beats the shit out of the $5 movie Wasp I grabbed there yesterday.

It's the 3rd Hulk figure I have that uses that new body, and I'll take however many colors they want to make. Give me all the Skittle Hulks.

Doom and Beetle showed up today. I got the Beetle so I could pose it with Mach I when I get him. I passed this figure up a lot, and I really like it now that I have it. Doom is just fantastic.

Found the red Hulk earlier and snagged one. They had 3 or 4 of him and of the deluxe Widow, plus Cosmic GR and Squirrel Girl.

It looks great by itself, but that figure scales badly with pretty much every Legends figure, except for the other ones that are too damn big. Daredevil can't pretend to look him in the eye, etc.

Would it be too big for the Joe sized Marvel figures?

I remember you saying that about the BAF. I'll keep this in the package since it looks cooler that way.

There's now a 26" sentinel coming down the pike. For $500. Jayzus. 20th anniversary X-Men Prof X, Mags, Wolvie and Mystique. Not bad. You get young and old heads for Mags and Prof X. Toxin just looks terrible. I haven't read enough anyway to care about him. He looks like one of the 90s Spider-man figures that had water squirting action features and shit.

There's now a 26" sentinel coming down the pike. For $500. Jayzus. It's only $500 from BBTS. It's $350 if you pre-order it directly from Hasbro Pulse before August 24th. And it comes with a lot of add ons. Catch is they take the money now, because crowd funding.

I'm not an X-Men fan per se, but I am strongly considering it. I still have a while to make up my mind about it.

I’m tempted too. $350 ain’t cheap, but dammit that thing is cool.
The bulk of my Marvel Legends collecting the past few years has been focused on 90s X-stuff. Was the character on the cartoon? Were they on the Jim Lee X-Men #1 cover? Did I have the old Toy Biz figure, or did they have a cool trading card? If so, I probably bought the Legends figure. That 3-pack with Jean and Scott and Wolverine checked a lot of boxes, but this thing... god dammit I’m probably gonna buy it......

Well, obviously there were Sentinels in the cartoon, but this is the House of X Powers of X look, which I like because it's clearly classic-inspired, but also very techy.

I just preordered this set from BBTS. If any of you guys in the US want Pyro and don't care about this Rogue figure, let me know, because I don't want Pyro.
