Skurge the Executioner BAF Wave

[robw]

No offense to all those Warbow fans out there, but if it was Martinex instead, this entire wave would be a slam dunk for me.

Oh sure, Martinex would slap way harder. But this is still a new to 6” character and I gotta respect that.

I’d buy him twice if it meant I could skip that damn Iron Man.

I was really hoping for a single release of Iron Patriot. Never got the new one as I didn't need the other 2 figures. Again.

Now Hasbro needs to update Iron Patriot using the newer Extremis build. Which might be hard since Iron Patriot already had a unique torso armor.

I’m still surprised that Hasbro is making Iron Man’s Mysterium Armor. Regardless of the design itself, it’s a positive trend. Hasbro has been giving Iron Man unique sculpts and has been making a lot of the more recent armors without waiting years and years, like how long it took to get the Extremis Armor.

The design itself is unique. Definitely would standout on an Armory shelf. I read that the concept was to make Iron Man look like a sports car. Personally I find the boots are so high up the leg that they make the armor have an odd silhouette.

Still, it’s fun to get such a powerhouse Iron Man suit that can one shot Sentinels and is stronger than adamantium. I love that Hasbro gave the armor the wrist mounted blasters.

Mysterium Iron Man goes with the new Falcon Cap and with Emma Frost. Not sure who else would go with him at this point.

That new Iron Man may be my new Riri stand-in.

Enchantress's new look is beautiful - exactly what I was hoping for. As much as I hate that I already own this character, this version is more of what I hoped for the first time.

Skurge looks good, although he doesn't seem that big.

Wish Logan came with a BAF piece as I really want his alt head. My lack of interest in the rest of the wave continues. WBN is a maybe - lucky they were able to find that mold and get all the dust out of it after an entire decade.

Yep figure is beautiful and I love Pepe Larazz's artwork. Definitely my fave from the wave along with WWII Logan. Phantom Rider looks phoned in to me, but if they make the horse I suppose he will be worthy of being my Rider's collection. Really like this Iron Man, just wish we'd get some of his foes.

Skurge looks good, thought he had brown in his costume?? Sounds like he will be a big boy.

Armor stronger than Adamantium? How’s that possible?

 

[Ditko]

My opinions are never what this board's opinions are, I don't get the hate for Iron Man....and love for a weak Phantom Rider but have at it. I think anything that isn't super simplistic is an irritant for most folks here. Oh well.

I initially thought I could skip that Iron Man (what an ugly costume) and find an axe from elsewhere (LCBH Conan, most likely). But then they went and packed the head in there too.

They know exactly what they’re doing

I’d buy him twice if it meant I could skip that damn Iron Man.

I right there with you

Once again I’ll be stuck with figures I don’t want to get the amazing baf I do want

Can’t say that I don’t like this wave though. Good mix of characters. But man does that Iron Man bite.

Subnic checks out!

I want to say it has inherent anti-magic properties. It was a mcguffin Hickman gave the mutants to make them world/international players when Krakoa started.

McFarlane has poisoned your brain

I'm kidding of course.

The excitement for Phantom Rider is beause its a brand new character. The lack of enthusiasm for Iron Man is because its a lesser known armor and we already have a thousand Iron Man figures. Novelty over detailed sculpt

Funny, the armor design in the thighs with is about the only part of this armor i like. Gives me Pentagon armor vibes.

I'd also love to get an Emma from this era, too.

Is this repaint going to be far behind?

 

[PanchaMaestro]

I mean .. Phantom Rider could have baggy pants? He's been drawn both ways.

I like the look of this alot better then what we're getting. Also, like, maybe I'm just too Jaded now, but I'm not excited for any of these. Which sucks cause they look nice. I wanted a Skurge for years. And now we finally get one and im like "I really don't wanna buy most of those figures to get him." WBN is cool. I'll get him. Enchantress is an upgrade to the 2 I already have. While I'm not stoked to do it, I'll get her. The rest I could care less. So I probably still won't have Skurge. Which then makes it so I care less about getting Amora. So I may as well not get her. Maybe if I could skip the Gods Awful Iron Man I'd be more inclined to get the rest. But as of now ill probably get WBN and maybe Amora and wait for Skurge to get the deluxe rerelease treatment. If I see phantom rider on sale I may snag him. But no horse is almost a deal breaker.

Much less able to fly as well if the whole thing is adamantium.
