Marvel Cinematic Universe Figure Discussion

Thanks. So was it just magic? What was I searching wrong?

Probably not, Target just sucks.

If I go to their website and type in "Marvel Legends Deadpool Wolverine Blade", I won't be able to find the Blade figure. But if I do a google search and type in "Marvel Legends Deadpool Wolverine Blade Target", it will get me a direct link. So if I want to know if a figure is on the Target website yet, I just google it and add "Target" into the search. Same with Walmart.

I found X-23 last week at Target. A good old brick n mortar find felt good, as did paying the old $25 price, as did using a $25 store credit and getting her for the price of sales tax. My only small gripe is that she has two heads with the exact same expression. I wish the head with the wispy hair was snarling. I don't even really care about the t-shirt/vest color swap. It's a damn nice figure.

I’ve used that Google search trick in the past with mixed results. Probably should have tried it this time. Maybe that’s how @Schizm found the links.

What is the middle one?

Good question. Looks like just a plain Deadpool body. So maybe just another Deadpool? Wasn't there a purple one? Maybe a battle damaged one to go with the shirtless Wolvie? Or maybe they're just using a basic Deadpool silhouette because if it's another member of the corps, it would give it away? I'm not expecting much- finally getting an unmasked head would be awesome, but I doubt it.

Yeah, the site/app doesn't bear much fruit for me these days; the only times I ever really luck out are by going through links provided by pages like YakFace, ToyShiz, Preternia, etc. I don't know if you have social media- if not, making an account solely to keep up with toy links could be viable.

Got it, so it’s not just me, Target’s search feature is pitiful, is all. Part of me wanted to think people actually had luck using their search feature like a normal search feature, and not some roundabout way.

Don't be silly. Apps and websites don't work like they're supposed to! That's just asking for too much.

Except for Articulated Thoughts, of course! That's the only site for me!

@joshsquash729 Also, I do follow Preternia and ToyShiz, they’ve been instrumental in providing actual links to preorders and such. Especially Preternia. I do my best to pay it forward by posting what I can, whatever I get from them, in the preorder thread here, if someone hasn’t already beaten me to it.
 
Got the new sleeveless Wolverine today. I don't really love the damage effects on Wolverine. Looks more busy and messy than cool. I like the new masked head, though. Same the yellows don't match the last release to give me proper options
 
Got a couple of the DP&W figures today. It's funny, my interest in movie figures has been waning but every time I get one they really are just killing it with the likenesses. Blade is just a great figure. Cassandra NovaI like a lot, but is this the first time we've gotten this style of head/neck swivel? I ws surprised that it was all one piece. Also the single hinge elbows, but I don't hate those in SWBS so I don't mind it here, especially for this particular figure. Battle Damaged Wolverine is a really nice figure, too, despite my Hughverine fatigue. Skipped Cowboypool but should have brown suit ant Laura tomorrow.
 
I wasn't gonna go for Cowboypool, but after seeing a couple reviews, I think I'm going for him for the same reason a lot of folks are going for brown suit Wolverine- he just looks cool and fun. The twirly effect on the pistol is just so fun and whimsical, and as a southern boy myself, I'll always have a soft spot for cowboys. I apparently used to wear nothing but a diaper and cowboy boots as a toddler, so, even though I never so much as got near a horse, I think it's in my blood somewhere. 😅

Now I'm going to put this on the movie because the movie didn't do it.

Blade doesn't have a sword. I can figure out the coat.

But does anyone have any recommendations for a sword substitute?
