Mini Comic Wave 2

I need to find a mostly yellow body to put an extra Rachel head on to do her pre-Excalibur X-Men look. That one, as basic as it was, was always a favorite of mine. Maybe Firestar would be a decent start.

Hellcat or Crystal maybe??

I've had this framed poster since the 90's. It's always been on my wall, no matter where I lived.
The new Widow will be displayed in front of it.

Who's the artist? Reminds me of Joe Chiodo.
 
Beast is very tempting. Good stand-alone figure with decent accessories. Daredevil might be a buy, I think pictures on socials will sell it eventually. Black Widow...she's nice, I really prefer the jacket version, if only there was a way to throw the coat and just the upper arms onto this figure it would be exactly what I want. Normally I'm an articulation-first kind of guy but the jacketed version just looks so cool.
 
I'm in for Black Widow and Surfer. Annoyed that Surfer has no splayed fingers or power effects. And will Hasbro ever give him a proper sized surfboard instead of a silver tongue depressor? I grew up on the south shore of Long Island and saw my share of surfboards and none of their offerings have been the right width.
 
Yknow what really sucks is this is a wave I would love to own all of but they don't have a BaF so I'll probably skip a couple just because I don't like the accessory pack out.

Still getting Rachel, and might end up with Feral down the line - if I’m going to bitch and moan about wanting new characters, I suppose I’d better pick up the ones they do make. Can’t get excited about the other 4 at all, which is a good money saver for me.

Deathbird looks nice, but I wanted the winged version - I’d probably buy her single packed, but the Gladiator tax might price me out unless the set gets discounted.

Has anyone got a fix on the hints at the end? Hoping for some street/heist adjacent characters, in a future Spidey wave.

Widow and DD for me.

I desperately want a new Surfer on a bigger body. Vulcan would be perfect. Hasbro let me down there. This figure is pinless, but otherwise it seems like a downgrade from the Walgreens release. No power effects, no open hands. When's Hasbro going to give us some decent power effects and shooting hands for Surfer?

Two years ago, Beast would've been a no-brainer. I'm a huge Astonishing fan. As someone who only has one version of each character on the shelf, though, it's a pass. I'd rather have the classic '90s "Oh my stars and garters" version. The New X-Men/Astonishing era is when Beast started going downhill. I'm all for character evolution over time, but I couldn't stomach Beast after that.

Rachel and Feral are reluctant passes. Too niche for my collection.

Widow checks a huge box on my Avengers shelf. I was happy with the Target exclusive, but this version adds a little color diversity. I already have enough black between Thor and BP. It feels like an actual superhero costume, as opposed to her classic look.

Now, do I use my old Target Widow to make a custom Velvet figure? It's one of my favorite indie comic titles. I'm basically some hair paint away.

I can't believe we're getting The Man Without Fear Daredevil. Whenever Hasbro gives us a unique sculpt of a weird look/character, it's never something I'm interested in. I finally hit the jackpot. Daredevil will join a select few characters with two figures in my collection.
 
Matt in those black sweats looks way more bulky than his lithe red costumed figures. Looks like it could be a Captain America build but for Matt it seems like the wrong body type.
 
Also, I’m glad Surfer comes with C-grip hands. I know they’re for the book, but I’ve always wanted them for carrying the board.

He gained those extra college pounds.
 
Mostly excited for that Widow head with the new face printing. Was always a winner, but the new prints are beautiful, so paired with that sculpt should be rad.

Feral not being fuzzy is dumb. The closest time in my life I've strayed into cat girl territory. I always remember her forearms and calves were the fuzzy cheat for the artist.

Daredevil looks bulky but he also looks like the JRJR panel that pops into my head, so I'll take it.

Need Beast for Astonishing.

I'm down.

The non-Hound Rachel head and fiery wings are going right on that retro carded Phoenix body for me. Loved it when she wore her Mom’s costume. That Phoenix outfit remains one of the best-designed and iconic outfits around.

That Phoenix has been sitting unopened waiting for exactly this.
 
Feral is reusing Tigra’s limbs. There are tufts of fur above the knees.
