Yeah, that's right Guardian did have a figure. I just looked it up on amazon though and the asking price is $90, so unless you're willing to shell out that kind of money for a figure you're sh*t out of luck. I missed out on all the older ML figures because back during their Toybiz days some of them were ridiculously hard to find so I just said it, sold the figures I had and gave up. I'm all for the more obscure guys getting figures but they need to throw a bone to guys like me that missed out on the more well known characters. A lot of them go for $100 or more which really sucks because I'd give anything to rebuild my ML collection. They do. That's why we got re-releases of Doom, Deadpool, Punisher, and a few others in wave 3, and why a new Ultimate Cap, Wolverine, and She-Hulk are in wave 4. I know I missed several figures from TB and Hasbro's early waves, but I've managed to get the ones I want through re-releases.

Wolverine is in his X-Force gear, I want his classic brown gear. And She-Hulk is red not green. That's not satisfactory to me, they may be the more well known characters but it's not their classic looks. Variants would have been acceptable but I'm not thrilled with the ones we're getting.

That's not satisfactory to me, they may be the more well known characters but it's not their classic looks. Variants would have been acceptable but I'm not thrilled with the ones we're getting. I hear ya. But they're staying up with current comics. Wolverine hasn't worn his brown costume since the early '90s, unless we're counting Origin stories. In the Wolverine 6" movie line, they're making his current yellow costume for those who want a regular, non X-Force version. Cap has been portrayed by Bucky, while Steve Rogers has been doing his own thing. We have both of them as figures already. Red She-Hulk is new, but with that mold, I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a repaint. This begs the question, though...why not just buy the ToyBiz ML Cap, Wolverine in brown, and the older She-Hulk? I mean, the point of this line is to expand the character selection while still offering favorites, not to keep re-releasing the same version of characters over and over. That's why, even though we have had two Iron Men in four waves, they've both been versions that have never been made before.

I don't care who you are, but Archangel makes one hell of a figure, regardless of the line.
Not a huge huge fan of his, but his figures always look so amazing to me.

Does anyone know where I can get bases for my ML figures? I'm not a fan of the flight stands and all I see on Ebay are WWE/DCUC logo bases. I want something simple, done in the peg-in-foot style.

Wow that MS Venom is looking awesome, thanks for the pics ckhybrid. The only thing I'm not keen on is the slight blue-ish wash. They always seem to do that with Venom figures, and I'm always left thinking they'd look better with solid black...
Rhino's looking pretty cool too... I'm conflicted whether to upgrade to this and sell my old Spiderman Classics figure... but I dunno, the MS one will probably look too gigantic next to my other figures (mostly MLs). I also just saw the "Fearsome Foes" pack Rhino figure on google image search, never seen it before, but that looks pretty cool too... Hmmm....

The Fearsome Foes Rhino is one of my favorite figures ever, period. Not sure if his eBay price has dropped but I'd go with him. I like the sculpt and better incorporation of the articulation more.

My latest ML pick ups! Nice man. I love that new Heroic Age IM. The modern Thor is the only version I have, and it's a great figure as well. Awesome stuff.

I picked up the Ultimate Captain America at TRU this morning. And I have to say what is TRU drinking $25 for a figure!? This figure certainly isn't worth that price. If I didn't have a 15% off coupon from the TRU catalog that came in the mail the other day I would have easily passed. The coupon brought the price down to $20. (which I still think is $5 more than it should cost.

I thought we were finally seeing them go back down, I seem to remember they were $16.99 (with the Iron Man Legends being $14.99) recently. That is terrible, I'll wait until Amazon has them on sale like they did with wave 3.

lol. I picked up an Iron Man (Classic) figure at WalMart the other day and it was $15. That's around what I figured this would have been. At most I thought $20 after tax just like TRU is charging for their DC Unlimiteds. When the cashier said $25 and whatever the change was I actually looked to see if she rung something else up with it by mistake. lol And maybe it's because I'm not a huge Marvel guy, but I am not feeling the figure is worth the $20 I paid after the coupon. There have been better Caps released already.

I know it's not a ML, but it's pretty bad-ass:
