[Ncrawler333]

Diamond Select is releasing the Skrull and Brood army builder figures previously meant to be in Marvel Legends. And they are still going to be in Marvel Legends scale!

I want at least 3 of each, maybe 5 max. Hopefully the other henchmen will be released too.

Looking good. But the Skrull looks like he's fixing to take a giant s--t.

 

[Ben Urich]

Wow. That basically guarantees great sales for DST. Good move.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

The Skrull is OK but the Brood looks very nice. Damn it looks vicious.

 

[Roughneck]

I probably want five or six....but only 3 skrulls....so I might be trading Skrulls for Broods....cause I want a lot of Broods.

 

[Roughneck]

Nex up should be a Kree and another Brood.

Then hydra and AIM

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

I can definitely see them doing multiple 2packs. Hell, it'd be cool to have some SHIELD soldiers too.

 

[Roughneck]

Man this is just instant gold for Diamond man.

They are printing money...I do wonder about the articulation though

 

[HCpride]

i think they would make a whole lot more money if they did 2 broods in a back and 2 skrulls in a pack instead of 1 brood one skrull

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

I dunno, either way it goes they're gonna sell a good amount.

 

[HCpride]

yeah
but think how many people that just want brood are gonna have to buy an equal ammpunt of a character they dont want
they would have to buy less packs to get more of an army, and the point of these figures is to army build, not to buy 1

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Yeah but we're talking about a company that wants to make money too. Since when do they care what we think. They just feed us s*** and hope we don't stop eating it.

 

[Cyclops]

I hope they fix the Skrull's color scheme and cut a few more joints into him. Elbows and knees would be nice.

Though is it kinda weird to anyone else that it's entirely possible that these figures are going to end up looking better than Hasbro's offerings?

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Oh, its possible. I hope they fix the Skrull's legs though because he looks weird standing that way. But I'm not familiar with this Skrull look so maybe thats the way they stand. I dunno.

 

[lars573]

I get the feeling that Skrull look is from the 60's. It screams Kirby. Could be worse could look like this.

It's from the new cartoon line.

Here is an old FF cover with Skrulls on them

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Hmm, looks like they stand fairly normal. They definitely need to fix the way the way the Skrull stands or atleast have nicely articulated ankles so the legs can be positioned better because the Skrull looks dumb standing that way. As if he just got off from riding a mechanical bull for a few hours,.

 

[Roughneck]

Now I just need some Kill Krew figs to go with the Skrulls.

 

[Roughneck]

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Don't get me wrong, the Skrull looks good but I just think it looks dumb if thats pretty much how it'll look when standing.

 

[Cyclops]

He's a geriatric Skrull. With back problems.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Either that or he's an intergalactic cowboy.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

wow i've missed a lot in only a few days. i don't care much for the skrull, but i want the brood. so where's the brood queen?

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

i do hope this means AIM soldiers etc.

 

[Ironfan72]

I do like the Brood figure, I can live without thr Skrull figure. I would love to see a Kree, Hydra Agent and AIM Soldier, that would be sweet.

 

[Doc_OCK_4MUGEN]

MUST HAVE BROOD ARMY!!! the skrull looks kinda meh... but the brood looks sexy!!! for an evil alien roach-like thing...
