You have any of those Wolverine's snap at the bicep? 2 of mine did. And don't get me started on those claws. Thank God for hot water straightening them up for the most part.

The Sabretooth in that set snapped at the bicep on me. Or more accurately, just plain tore off. I was able to find another set to exchange it, but my second set had really floppy shoulders. It totally killed the enthusiasm I had for that set at the time. And that was a real dream come true set for me too.

I wonder if Iceman is Fan Channel because he'll be more expensive than usual? I'm hoping he's at a standard MSRP, but I wouldn't be surprised at an upcharge.

Think the only one I'll probably spring for is Iceman. I do like my Iceman a bit more interesting than just "regular guy, but all ice colored". I like a good spiky bit or something. That said, I can't deny those little ice effects are quite nice, and it's been a while since I've had an Iceman in the display.

If we ever get an iceman in that bluish silver prismatic paint that we just saw on the Gamerverse War Machine I’d be all over that. Especially if it’s the AoA/Onslaught era version of Bobby inspired by Joe Mad. That would be just too good to resist.

Argh! I love Deathbird, but am one of the few who could give a fuck about Gladiator. Oh, well. No X symbol for Feral? (Maybe she didn't have one, can't remember.) 1st time seeing Rachel and super excited for her.

I love to see the support from the MCU side of the collector community :)

Its a real famine for the MCU with nothing really coming out lending itself to Action Figures for another year almost. By Christmas '26 you should be spoiled for a bit! Thunderbolts only getting a partial release is such a bummer.

Heh, I probably shouldn't mention I said it with clenched teeth. but no, I am glad someone's happy at least. Sometimes I gotta force myself out of my petty whataboutme attitude.

You are absolutely right. I expect to get at least a few really great figures between Doomsday and Brand New Day, and possibly something for Born Again season 2.

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriously. I really hope they bring back some kinda anniversary catch-up kinda series.

Not to rain on my parade too much because I knew they'd give us this version that replicated the old ToyBiz figure, but I would have preferred the original look with the feather wings.

I don't care enough about the character to care which version we got, but I'm surprised how people here also don't want that version. I was expecting some sort of wings like the ones below. I'm ecstatic with what we got though because I agree with Dwight that she looks to be a contender for figure of the year in whichever year she ends up releasing.

I just realized that they painted the part of Punishers leg between the holster straps white. It will look like shit when the straps slide out of position and it kinda just looks dumb frankly. Why not just make a holster with a single wider strap of they really wanted to mention the sprite.

So stupid lol

No, I absolutely still want that version.
 
I much prefer a more early appearance Deathbird. I don't really feel a need to upgrade Gladiator so this is likely a pass for me. I never got the Lilandra 2pk either, so I guess I've decided to skip our on Shi'ar stuff, especially as I don't see Hasbro wanting to make any more Imperial Guard.

Never like the body Iceman is using. Those shoulders just sit way too low.

Punisher in blue/grey is kinda amusing. Almost can work as a comic version. Those M-16s are hilariously small. I'm starting to really regret passing on that Punisher/Bushwacker 2pk.

Rachel, grey Black Widow, and Beast from the mini-comic wave look good to me. While I do think it's kinda cool they made that version of Daredevil, I don't need him. I could see that body being repainted with a Steve Rogers head for work-out Steve Rogers. No, I don't think would be official, but it could be a neat way to get a civilian Steve Rogers into the line.

Champion and Starfox are cool.
 
I will definitely be updating my Silver Surfer as that color looks great and pin less. I've become addicted to pin less after not really caring either way about aesthetics but man they are so much sturdier joints. Gray Widow for sure too. Love all the recent upgrades. The only one not super excited about is the Deathbird/Gladiator set. I have a lot of X-Men Legends but they are always my lowest priority. Avengers/F.F and street level heroes have always been more my favorites. I like X-Men just not the same love for them as the rest of the Marvel Universe, Really can't say why. Wolverine is the only one that really excited me back when he came on the scene. Everything looks great though. I too thank the MCU side for being happy for us comic siders! Your year is definitely coming in 2026!

I’m just going to heat up the holster, slide it out of the way, take that white paint off with a little acetone, re-heat the holster, and slide it back on again. I know it’s accurate to the game, but I don’t really dig it.
 
Deathbird looks incredible, and the new body on Gladiator looks great. But making Gladiator a third time WITHOUT sculpting his boots is downright criminal.

That's a solid idea and will probably look the best. If you don't do this, he'll always have that muscular holster spot.

To nitpick, neither look is accurate to the sprite.

Seems like we often get figures that look closer to the design art. But that's such a weird cop-out to me. We remember these games from the gameplay versions of the characters, not some design art that most people never saw until someone said "nuh uh it looks just like the game!" and posts it online.

Might even be worth cutting the straps off and adding a band of apoxie sculpt, painted white (don't use the colored crap apoxie), and supergluing the holster to it.
