The "NEW" New Stuff I got Thread.

[Ash J. Williams]

That's cool. Did it come with cheese?

 

[Dr.Doom]

No

 

[Benstamania]

I thought I'd list the toys I got for Christmas:

Cult Classics: Medieval Ash
TMNT Movie Figure: Casey Jones
TMNT Movie Figure: Splinter
TMNT Movie Figure: Street Grindin' Donatello
TMNT Fast Forward Figure: Viral
TMNT Fast Forward Figure: Jammerhead
Star Wars Saga Collection: Luke Skywalker's X-wing

And that's that. I'm probably gonna get some more figures with my Christmas money.

Hold the phone, the MOVIE figs are already out?!

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Got with some of my Christmas money:

Demogoblin
Spider-Man 2099
ML15 Destroyer

Demogoblin is pretty cool, his lack of wrist and finger articulation is kind of annoying though. Spider-Man 2099's complete lack of leg articulation(only 3 points in each leg) makes it only possible to pose them one way, definitely wish they had used a different body for him. I'll be trading one of my two Destroyers, not sure whether I'm going to keep the one I got today and trade away the first one I got with the wrong shin piece, or just keep the one with

Also, Marvel Legends and Spider-Man Classics figures were marked down to $5at all 3 of the Wal-Marts I went to today, so it looks like they're trying to get rid of their Toybiz stock and make room for all of the new Hasbro stuff they'll be getting soon.

Nice picjups Ncrawler. I was gonna get that Spidey 2099 too, saw one at TRU last Friday. Passed, the leg artiulation ruined it. That figure deserved enough artic to match the McFarlane Spidey, its a shame to give a character who has dynamic poses such crappy artic.

I also passed by Wal-Mart today. They did in fact have MLs and the new X-Men figs for $5 apiece. It was almost completely bare EXCEPT for a few I found in the mess that was scattered everywhere. I went ahead and got Avalanche and the iced up Iceman. All the rest where from wave 2 which I either have or didn't want.

Iceman is cool, just has a pretty s***ty hand. Might keep him, dunno, I couldn't pass the deal. Avalanche will probably be traded or sold. The bubble was crushed, it was under some big TF boxes so eh. I'll open him, check'em out and make a choice. But hey, $5 apiece is nice.

 

[Benstamania]

Just opened up my Soundwave, it's pretty cool and transformation is flawless. My only bee....no peg holes. Nothing, he just sortof stands there....ready to fall at the slightest bump.

Hopefuly that doesn't happen much.

Is this the Titanium Soundwave you're talking about?? What other figures came out with him?? All I've seen lately are the Optimal Optimus and Scourge ones. Does he have any removable tapes??

 

[Benstamania]

Yes, it's the Titanium Soundwave. The figure that came out with him is Rodimus Prime...who looks seriously bad ass. I skipped over him though because I'm jumping back into DBZ figures and found a bad ass Vegeta fig instead.

Laserbeak comes with him. He's fully transformable as well. I'll shoot some pictures here in a few moments.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Oh hot damn. I must have him!!!

Damn it, and I just told myself to chill on getting figures from different lines.

 

[Benstamania]

Sometimes its ok to cross over.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

To the Dark Side?!??!

 

[Benstamania]

Yes....at least that's what Soundwave says.

Here's some pics, sorry about the shotty photo quality on the "tape deck" picture. My wife is the camera nut, I'm just the toy lover.

And yes, Laserbeak can indeed fit inside his tape deck.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Nice. Thanks for the pics.

 

[Benstamania]

Funny story....I just now noticed in the first picture that my double sided tape was resting by Grimlock. I have a ton of comics waiting to go on my wall because I couldn't find that tape.

I'm apparently not very observant.

 

[Roughneck]

Yeah it seemed Silly that the Spiderman 2099 figure from six years ago had far far better articulation that the one released a week ago.

That is funny.

Crazy.

 

[Dr.Doom]

I might pick me up just the turtles from the movie line.

Yeah, the leg ariculation is definitely horrible, they should have used a different body for it.

I also passed by Wal-Mart today. They did in fact have MLs and the new X-Men figs for $5 apiece. It was almost completely bare EXCEPT for a few I found in the mess that was scattered everywhere. I went ahead and got Avalanche and the iced up Iceman. All the rest where from wave 2 which I either have or didn't want.

Yeah, only one of the three Wal-Marts I went to actually had any ML figures, and there were only 4 on the pegs at the one that did. Brewer Wal-Mart was a wasteland, not just for Marvel but for almost everything else too. Only Star Wars figures that were on the pegs were 7 Moff Jerrods, and almost no Transformers.

Iceman is cool, just has a pretty s***ty hand.

Let me guess, one of the pegs connecting the fingers to the hand isn't connected into the hole? I've seen that a lot with the XMC figs, both my Bobby Drake and Rogue have that problem.

 

[Roughneck]

My Rogue had that on her Toes.


Also does anyone else hate the Giant Foot Holes thay got now? Why would they change that?

I was mainly talking about the pose of his right hand.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

I noticed that on Iceman. Its pretty stupid but hey, if it holds them better I guess I cn be OK with it.

 

[Saint553]

Oh, i got the House of M giftpack and the war machine variant FO.

I like 'em.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

WM variant is pretty cool but I never knew Rhodey wore such tacky lipstick.

 

[Roughneck]

For a second I thought you sadi HoM War Machine Varient

 

[Saint553]

I may repaint the HoM IM to be a war machine dude. Looks more appropriate.
