If the second Smart Hulk head is viable and it turns that figure into essentially the Marvel Superheroes Hulk... I will look on it a tad more favorably. It will, however, stand as probably the worst Maximum release for a long while and a big "what not to do" lesson for Hasbro.

The Thor, aside from not being classic, seems like a homerun. Price aside, Maximum is trending towards being a success and a more accessible and affordable import alternative. 3/4 solid releases. I wonder if wired capes will be limited to Maximum for a whlle...

Buzz on the street is that the second Professor Hulk head looks pretty close to the Marvel Super Heroes game sprite and may a close green match to the Maximum release...

Sounds like you'll be pleased soon.

Hasbro just needs to give us this as a deluxe dedicated sculpt release:

Not getting Elektra in red and a regular DD on that new body this year would be... so stupid. I get that there are some financial benefits to the multipack releases, apparently. But a single card DD and Elektra would be major sellouts... which is also money, right?

Yep. It's kinda baffling. That we haven't gotten a single card released of the AF15 body in red/blue is also kinda weird. This release could have easily been that with like 2 snap on pieces and the extra arm.

Didn't even realize the Daredevil was a completely new and dedicated sculpt. We will definitely need to see this used again soon on a less black-liney comic deco.

Totally valid question - I'd hope the answer is that they keep it separate :)

I really hope not. Some of the '97 releases are fudgible with comic releases. Byrne Cyclops... barely. Archangel doesn't appear too stylized. I'm not sure what the costume differences are between comic and cartoon - but I'm happy to put this with my comic display. Pretty much all of the other...

Glad for those who like it - I hate the symbiote paint app on a regular Spider-Man. Not sure why they used that body either since the fully black suit Secret Wars figure was on the AF15 body. That one is a big disappointment. Everything else is pretty awesome. Absorbing Man, Falcon and...

Wouldn't mind a combat pants Daredevil to go alone with that Bullseye.

Ahhh yeah I do have that one extra Reaver head on a GI Joe body. It's excellent.

During the Toy Biz days I had a few wrestler figures that were converted to modern Luke Cage with minimal effort/paint. The Defenders release was pretty decent for a while scratching that itch... but the 2 pack Iron Fist release was what I'd wanted since the New Avengers days in 2005. I had a...

Yeah it doesnt take much force at all to pop them out. I replaced 3 or 4 broken Cap shield clips. They come in different sizes too depending on the character, so you can get a cap shield to clip to a different part of the arm if you wish.

...ooh :(

So ah - does Hypno Hustler have to way of holding the microphone? Is that supposed to go... somewhere?

Definitely a property overdue for a modern comic book movie approach in quality. Weren't there rumors forever about Ryan Gosling playing him? I bet that would make for a great film.

I'm pretty sure this was the figure I used to have stand in as Colossus when I was a kid: This was a Captain Planet toy, I believe. You make do with what you have :)

I remember watching that scene with Blonsky and thinking this was a preview of what Captain America could move like. Also really stuck with me in those early MCU days.

I think they try to prioritize characters wearing practical suits as the CG ones change up until the week of release. There have been some leaks of Cyclops and a few others which were likely reference images for toys and merchandise... which is exactly why the studio is hesitant to provide...

I would... really love if it weren't...

Assuming the Secret Wars Wave 2 Spider-Man ends up being a classic red/blue ASM15 release, and we have at least one more Maximum release to look forward to in the black suit - I'd love to see the RVYs body one more time using the Spider-Man 2 Gamerverse Advanced Suit head. While I was looking...

You're absolutely right. A brand new costume/version should definitely be embraced. My interest in modern comics has completely waned in the past 10 years, so a brand new version of Nightcrawler from a recent mini-series isn't my cup of tea, and that's my bias. My ideal version of "modern"...
