F4 She-Hulk is what I want from this line: Single carded/boxed figures at a standard price that can be preordered at my leisure. Once upon a time, that was the rule. This year, it feels more like the exception, She-Hulk is also a very good example that when done right, a straight up repaint...

I still haven’t received a shipping notice. I suppose that’s karma. 😉 I am sincerely happy that everyone seems to be enjoying them.

This is interesting, because I do consider the set to be mid, but I don’t disagree with Norm’s assessment of “above average to average”. Without having it in hand, I’d give the set a 7/10…which proves altcunningham’s point. I’m not like that in other aspects of my life, but after over 25...

That’s the punchline. All of this drama, and the figures themselves are kind of mid. If it wasn’t for the “This may be the only Shanna/Savage Land Rogue we get” FOMO, this set would probably still be in stock. If I knew for a fact that a single carded Shanna was coming somewhere down the...

I appreciate it, but I’m going to hold out for the set I ordered to ship…or not. Hopefully I’ll get a shipping order this week, but to be fair, they did say 8/20. I just want to be done with it at this point. This hasn’t been a particularly enjoyable year for action figure collecting.

My biggest mistake was not just getting a Shanna off eBay for under $80 shipped during SDCC weekend. She was on there throughout the weekend at $65 to $70 plus tax and shipping. I could have saved myself $15 and a LOT of aggravation. I’ll remember that in the future. Now watch. All of...

I wonder how you approach that situation if you’re Hasbro? I know those sets were intended for the European market, but they’ve been available for a week now which seems like an ample amount of time in this day and age of the hobby. Is there enough stock left to be worth re-allocating a...

My set is scheduled to ship on October 20, 2029. There’s a note underneath saying “Every time you trash us online, we’re pushing your ship date back a week.”

I really don’t associate Shanna with any particular look or outfit. Just give me a figure of a blonde with a full head of hair, jungle style clothing, a knife and/or spear, call her Shanna, and I’m good.

They probably don’t have as big of a scalper/attitude problem over there as we do here.

Jim Lee era X-Men is another one. We’re moving toward having three complete sets of the Blue and Gold teams: Comic ML, X-Men ‘97 ML, and Mafex. I don’t need three complete sets. I’m trying to downsize. Keeping the Mafex set over the comic ML set is a no braiber for me (assuming it gets...

I plan to significantly prune my collection next year, and this is going to be a dilemma. One example: Classic comic accurate Captain America. I currently have: ML1 (Toy Biz) 80th Anniversary 20th Anniversary Secret Wars Mafex Ideally, I would only keep one, but I have too much sentimental...

I look at these leaked lists and seriously wonder how much of this is really going to sell, whether I’m personally interested in it or not. I think Hasbro is making a mistake leaning so heavily into very specifically themed multi-packs and deluxe figures. Single carded figures that appeal to...

I completely agree that the Busiek/Perez era would be a much wiser choice than the Crossing.

I’m going with a Top Five for Heroes, a Top Five for Villains, and no box set . I’m scaling down both my collection and my purchases, so I want to keep it real and only list characters that I would absolutely, positively buy. That’s not to say I wouldn’t seriously consider many of the other...

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Harris/Epting/Deodato run on Avengers, so I’m down for some Crossing era costumes. It’s not what I think they should be focusing on, but since we seem to be moving away from the BAF waves that used to be the bread and butter of this line and going off on...

They’re just not that competent. Aggravating their fanbase is just a happy coincidence. 😛

I’m guessing that where Hasbro screwed up was by not by waiting until all inventory en route to the warehouse (from SDCC or elsewhere) had been physically received and updated in the system before going live. That’s why I’ m not holding my breath on the set I was able to order yesterday...

I went to the trouble of making sure I had a default payment set up beforehand (my Amex card) and the website still completely ignored it.

Honestly, I saw that blue Pre-Order button for the first time after nearly two days (off and on) of refreshing the page and was just trying to GTFO with an order before they went out of stock again. Like Rod, I didn’t think about ordering a second set until my first order went through, and by...

From the 8/1/2025 leaks, I might be interested in: Mole Man - I’m still pretty happy with the one I have, so they’ll have to hit on all cylinders between the overall execution and the pricing. X-Men ‘97 Havok and Polaris - Two of my top five favorite Marvel Characters, so I’m rarely, if ever...

I was able to get my order in as well (around 6:50 EDT). I had to go through the BS with the phone number and the site not being able to confirm my shipping address, but I got there. I received my order confirmation e-mail, and I see it in my order history. So all’s well that ends well? No...

There’s a loose Shanna on eBay that’s been bid up to $176. People have lost their minds.

To add insult to injury, I just took out my original ML Shanna (from the 2005 SDDC set), and it looks like the lower torso has yellowed…or was it always a mismatch from the flesh tone on the rest of the figure?

Putting a character/figure like Shanna in a convention exclusive three-pack in the first place is an absolutely trash way to treat your loyal customers. This isn’t our first rodeo, and it’s not Hasbro’s first rodeo. Everyone involved knew from the jump that this outcome was not only...
