For anyone interested, an ebay seller is selling the new Jean Grey figure loose but mint out of package w/o the Rocket Racoon BAF part. $22 BIN w/ no shipping charge. Thought it was pretty reasonable given the other ebay auctions for Jean. He has multiple for sale.

My local comic shop has these on order but it's going to be a little while because Diamond is always behind the curve on getting action figures. They also just give a catch-all release date that's as vague as whatever month it should arrive. That could be 4-5 Wednesdays in a month, you won't know for sure until it's invoiced. Chances are though, that the comic shop will have them first since all the other stores have been doing an awful job of stocking them, and Target is still inundated with Terrax wave Hope, Klaw, and Constrictor. |

Just saw them. Sucks wolverine doesn't have the x on his belt. Yeah...but its so minor. I think they did a fabulous job on that Wolverine fig. The whole series is great. |

Same here. I can touch up the minor things about Wolverine that I don't like. But that new figure, along with Cyclops, both look great. I'll pick them up for sure.

I ordered the Hawkeye along with another Punisher (Marvel Knights) and '66 Batman Joker and Surf's Up Batman from Amazon using the free shipping. At least with free shipping spending $28 on Hawkeye isn't too bad as that extra $8 would have been the shipping cost.

I know this is a Marvel Legends thread, but I have to ask this: Has there been any Universe stuff released this year? I just started collecting that line and I'll be damned if I can find anything.

Couldn't really say, but if nobody answers you should try either thefwoosh.com or Action Figure insider.com as I'm sure someone there could tell you. |

Yes there are some new MU releases. Try marvelousnews.com and go to the figure forums. Also, Adonis looked great in the pic in your av, miss those days. |

Just saw them. Sucks wolverine doesn't have the x on his belt. He might very well have the X on his belt on the real product. If you notice, the overseas sellers who had the Thunderbolts Punisher with the Red Skull were missing the eyes on the skull logo. The american release on the card definitely has it. So the X might have been missing from the factory samples which were obviously stolen. Hell, these might even be bootlegs. Seriously, I just want to tell everyone to chill the f out and wait for the stuff to hit retail. Don't encourage thieves and they'll stop being thieves. EDIT: Okay, maybe I'm not willing to bet. I'm looking at one of the only thumbnails I can find from the Diamond booth at SDCC 2013 and I see what looks to be an X-less Wolverine. So who knows? It still looks good. Hasbro has really stepped it up with the new body molds. They are tooled well and look really good to boot. The Toybiz figures were indeed very good for their time and Toybiz broke a lot of ground and paved the way for other toy companies. Toybiz essentially brought toys into the 21st century. Years later, though, there have been leaps and bounds once again and they look outdated. I remember when Hasbro first started to make their own generic body molds and how terrible they were. Remember Adam Warlock? How about Namor? Those were awful. Now we have the Bucky Cap body and the Hyperion body and they look fantastic. They are also back up to speed on articulation. |

I know she was schedualed alongside Maggot & AOA Sinister but not getting her was awful!! |

I know she was schedualed alongside Maggot & AOA Sinister but not getting her was awful!! I can't believe, either, and even weirder still was how we got all those Marvel Legends and off-shoot lines from Toybiz in the 2000's and still didn't get her. We had 90's Jim Lee Cyclops but never 90's Jim Lee Jean Grey? And we got Astonishing Colossus and Ultimate Nightcrawler, and Ultimate Sabertooth, and House of M Wolverine, but no Jean Grey? House of M Wolverine?!? Seriously? People who collect toys don't always read the comics. What a terrible choice for a figure. Someone who never read that train-wreck of a book is wondering why the hell Wolverine is wearing a royal dress uniform. And despite Hasbro throwing us a bone with this figure, the company is setting about to do the same thing ToyBiz did wrong, giving us narrow, unrecognizable-to-the-average-consumer toys of characters like Hope (who clogged hard due to nobody knowing who she is). Haven't read Marvel in the last 5-6 years? You won't know who half of the Marvel Legends assortments contain. (I read the comics, I know who these people are and do have interest in them, but I'm not the only guy they have to sell these to. They have to appeal to a much broader audience than the shrinking comic crowd if they are to survive.) /Rant. My local comic shop is getting the Rocket Raccoon wave today. I'm excited! |
