  1. Being that I collect a little bit of everything, I have decided to limit what I actually buy this year in terms of TF, GIJOE, DC universe, and Marvel stuff.

     

    I am so impressed with TF, and I am hooked on the animated cartoon. As it stands, I think it is pretty certain that I will have to budget my money. I know myself well enough to get the folling items:

     

    1) Voyager Animated Starscream ( my favorite and a must!)

    2) Voyager Optimus Prime

    3) Leader Bulkhead

    4) Leader Megatron

    5) Deluxe Bumblebee

    6) Deluxe Ratchet

    7) Delexe Soundwave

    8) Deluxe Black Arachnia

    9) Deluxe Prowl

    10) Leader Ultra Magnus-have not seen him but I know I will want him

    11) Deluxe Blitzwing-have not seen him but I want him

    12) Deluxe Lockdown

    13) Deluxe Oilslick

    14) Supreme Optimus-(Maybe)

     

    If they make Arcee, Ironhide, or Swoop, I will get those too.

     

     

    Classics:

     

    1) Prowl/ (my favorite)

    2) Sunstreaker

    3) Galvatron-I like the size. Besides, I am very happy with my Energon Galvatron

    4) Powerglide-I wish they had just painted him red-maybe I will wait to see if he comes out as a replaint.

  2. I already have Superman and Batman, and I must say I love these 12 inchers. An added touch is the personalized stand they come in. They also compliment my marvel Icons. Pretty expensive though, but I would definately get:

     

    1) Wonder Woman

    2) Hal Jordan Green Lantern

    3) Classic Aquaman

    4) Ronnie Raymond Firestorm

    5) Cyborg

    6) Flash

    7) Hawkman

  3. I happen to like both scales. I will always love my Marvel Legends Scale, but I have also been collecting GIJOE 3 3/4 figures since I was a kid. Now with the GIJOE 25th Ann figs, I am hooked on those again! I don't see why people can't just like both scales.

     

    I see it this way:

     

    The 3 3/4 lines gives us a chance to see more complete sets of characters that probably would not sell well in the 6" line. Just think, we could have an entire JIm LEE era X-universe with the 3 3/4 line.

     

    The 6" scale would probably be for the A and B listers and fan favorites.

  4. I am really liking Electra's body. She will easily replace the original that I have.

     

    The body type resembles the ICONS Phoenix body somewhat.

     

    Any word on the rest of the 2 packs?

     

    I am really hoping they release:

     

    Jim lee Jean Grey and new Jim Lee Cyclops 2 pack and

     

    FA Storm and Black Panther Unmasked 2 pack

     

    Northstar and Aurora 2 pack

  5. I went to Walmart last week and found Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Superman without the Green in single packages. I can not find Green Lantern or Hawkman anywhere. GL and HM are not pictured in the back packaging of the single packs.

     

    I also used an old Wonder Woman from the old JLA 5" line in the 90's and she looks perfect with this line of BATMAN figures.

  6. I want to see:

     

    1) Deluxe size Ironhide with head sculpt

    2) Deluxe Ratchet with head sculpt

    3) Voyager Class Soundwave

    4) Voyager Class Blaster

    5) Deluxe Class Arcee

    6) Voyager Class Class Rodimus Prime

    7) Leader Class Cyclonus- He is supposed to be a HUGE character and jet.

    8) Voyager Class Scourge- I don't like the titaniam version, and maybe deluxe size Sweeps

    9) I really think that Starscream and the Seekers should have been made voyager class, maybe slightly shorter than Megatron because they are taller than the regular Autobots cars, Reflector, and Stunticon cars who should be deluxe size.

    10) Insecticons could be scout class

    11) Voyager Class Galvatron

    12) Leader Class ultra Magnus- use the white cab for regular Magnus

  7. I actually really like the costume design for What if Vulcan was Phoenix where he has the gold scark around his neck instead of a sash. I am thinking about turning a Human Torch Marvel Icon into Vulcan in this costume since the head mold is the perfect.

  8. I having a feeling that Hasbro will put the breaks on marvel Icons. I have been waiting for Phoenix, Colossus, and Dark Phoenix since December, and they are still not out. I hope these are not cancelled.

     

    I really want a Phoenix since she is my favorite character. I would also like to see a marvel Icons FA Storm to complete my X-team on the Icons scale.

     

    I would also like to see Captain America, Lord Thor, Cyclops, Phoenix, Storm, and SpiderWoman get the Unleashed treatment.

     

    If Hasbro decides to do the 3 3/4 scale, I would love for them to start with JIM LEE X-men. Those 25th anniversary joes are selling like hotcakes here in San Antonio. This would be a great way to sell male / female figures in 2 pack form:

     

    3 3/4 scale 2 packs:

     

    1) Jim Lee Cyclops and Jim lee Jean Grey

    2) Jim Lee Rogue and Gambit

    3) Jim Lee Storm and Forge

    4) Havok and Polaris

    5) Archangel and Psylocke

    6) Wolverine in X-men unifrom and Jubilee in X-men uniform

    7) Cable and Domino

  9. It looks really good I have to admit.

     

    Even though Jean will not be in this series, I like how she is at least honored in the sense that an explanation is given as to why she is not an active member in the show.

     

    I would have been very upset if this series pretended like Jean didn't exisit.

     

    I guess the writers did this to introduce Emma to the fix.

  10. OMG!

     

    I am REALLY digging these!

     

     

    Firestorm looks incredible, and it's Ronnie! I am so glad they changed the face sculpt.

     

     

    I love the wau Aquaman is posed, and he looks great!

     

    I love the new female crotch style for Harley. It makes the female crotch look more feminine.

  11. I recently purchased a Dark Phoenix black T-shirt with the now famous Ryan Land are from the cover of Phoenix Endsong #1 at my local comic shop. As much as I love the shirt, I rarely wear it because the cotton material is rather cheap and it will fade after a couple washes.

  12. The other thing that bothers me is that none of the male characters have a real crotch. It is so hard to believe that they would exagerate the human body, but when it comes to the underwear area, they make superman look like he tucked his cookies between his legs. I am not saying they have to have a huge bulge, but something to make them look...male.

  13. It is getting harder and harder to choose. So many of the figures I want are female, that I just don't see Hasbro ever releasing an all female wave. I am thinking the best way to solve this is by having 2 packs; one guy and one girl. This way they are sure to sell:

     

    My list would call for:

     

    1) Jim Lee jean grey with New, taller Jim lee Cyclops mold

    2) FA Storm with Black Panther unmasked

    3) Nothstar and Aurora

    4) Justice and Firestar (Classic versions and Avangers variants)

    5) New Havok and New Polaris (Rise and Fall of the Shiar Empire)

    5) marvel Girl Rachel (new black costume) and Korvus with sword

     

    I would also like to see an Imperial Guard Wave

     

    1) Gladiator

    2) Oracle- current costume with puffy sleeves and short hair

    3) Flashfire

    4) Mentor

    5) Fang

    6) Starbolt

     

    BAF: TITAN

     

     

    An Ultimates wave, with ULT Giant Man as the BAF

    Thunderbolts wave

     

     

     

    Hasbro should consiser box set of the following:

     

    1) Classic X-men or X-men First Class

    2) Classic X-factor, or 2nd X-factor

    3) Classic New Warriors

    4) New x-men: We already have Wolverine and Xorn, why not Cyclops, Phoenix with long coat, emma, beast, and Phantom X

  14. I want to say how impressed I am with the new DC universe Line. My only gripe is the the hip articulation. My Superman and Batman's legs spread farther apart as they get older. It is hard to stand them upright. I had to use a glue gun to keep the legs from spreading too far just to keep them standing! I wish DC would use the same hip articulation that is used on ML8 Storm or ML Classic cyclops, or even the ball joint used on brown wolverine or phoenix. the Dc Hip joint is practically the same as the one used for Electra and is not pleasing to the eye.

     

     

    DC: Please fix this !!!

  15. If I had to chose 5 based on overall sculpt and likeness to the character, I wouldn't be able to choose anything from Toybiz or Hasbro. What I will do instead is pick my 5 favorites, and list what I like and hate about them.

     

     

    5) She-Hulk: I absolutely love this sculpt. The fact that she does not have waist articulation does not bother me at all because the costume does not lend itself to waist articulation, and if you think about it, the human body does not articulate at the waist--It is more of a torso movement.

     

    4) Lady Deathstrike: Not my favorite character, but it terms of sculpt and application she came out very well. I was very pleased with how she turned out

     

    3) Marvel Girl Rachel Grey: Out of all the female sculpts Hasbro has made, this one is my favorite. Her body is not frail looking, but looks very athletic. The ball joints for the knees don't really bother me because I like to pose her standing up, but I can see why some people don't like them. The face application could have used painted on my better if Hasbro went away with using shiny plastic for the flesh, but overall, I love this figure.

     

    2) ML Storm: I really love this figure in terms of sculpt, but she is way too thin, and her head is too small

     

    1) Phoenix/Dark Phoenix: My favorite of all the females. I do feel she suffers from overarticultion. The feet are the worst, they don't even look feminine. She should have sculpted boots on like Storm does instead of having them painted on. the neck joint is too big, and she doesn't have much of a waistline. Her costume would look better with creases and some piping to distinguish where the black separates from the green in the breast area. Phoenix's costume is also supposed to be liquid gold and green, not yellow and green. Jean also has the best butt of any of the females easily. I can't understand why people can't get that right. I do love her face sculpt. Mine looks like Nicole Kidman. I am also very pleased with her hair.

  16. 12) Hawkman

    11) Starfire-modern costume

    10) Catwoman-modern Jim Lee costume

    9) Powerboy- Love his costume!

    5) Hal Jordan Green Lantern- like modernized and classic costumes

    4) WonderWoman-current modernized costume

    3) Batman-prefer the classic blue and grey costume

    2) Superman- black and red S symbol on costume

    1) Ronnie Raymond Firestorm, would prefer a sleeveless costume
