Totally forgotten I'd ordered Iceman, but he just showed up in a hilariously large box.

Yes, the retro cards for the Secret Wars stuff (and Fantastic Four) are just way over the top big. I'd really prefer if they were the same size as the card backs for things like the X-Men, Spider-Man and Mini-Comic waves.

As a seller, I hate shipping those big retro card backs. I bought several cases of the retro card Fantastic Four figures when they were down to to $39 per case of 6 figures and I've re-sold a ton of Thing, Johnny and Reed at full price (still can't sell Sue, High Evolutionary or Psycho Man), but the shipping costs on those huge card backs suck.
 
Have you tried listing them as loose and then opening the cardbacks when one sells? Take pictures of an open one and don't say it's this exact one in the listing. I've done that for some of the ridiculously large cardbacks when I just want to get rid of the figure.

Did anyone have trouble with Iceman having a stuck waist joint? Mine was so stuck i was half convinced it didn't have one but I was able to get a nail in between it and managed to break it free. Also the belt was stuck to the waist in the same spot so I wonder if it's some kind of issue with that. Either way it's frustrating

Maybe it's just because he's frozen?

Thank you folks, you've been fantastic! I'll be here all week! Don't forget to tip your waitstaff!
 
Got my incremental improvement Iceman. He's fine. Slightly better than mediocre. I don't so much mind the clear body, though I do think he'd look better in a light blue for better translucency like it's ice. I don't really get the "snowball" unless they just included it so it would be reuse for the O5 X-Men from the 60s. Overall he's decent but feels like a half-measure to get to where we should be. I have to wonder if they wouldn't have just been better reusing the recent Silver Surfer head in terms of expressions, as it's either angry or doofy looking for your options with this one. Nothing great, nothing awful. The shield looks like just a blue Prof. X though to me.
