And drop me a PM for CAGE.

Sure, I'll get it to you tonight after work. You'll need a small program which lets you view .cbr files.

One thing I should state, Cage's arms appear to be a different color than his torso. They are not, it is a trick of the light reflecting off the differing materials.

Patriot? Sure, I suppose I could do that at some point. Is he that popular?

I've got a program that does that, so I'm cool. The Patriot gallery would be neat, but that's just cause I loves me some Young Avengers.

I got an X2 Iceman today! It's a big deal because everyone tells me he's rare. Score.

Also picked up an Astonishing X-Men Beast.

Does anyone have an X2 Magneto? Trading or selling one to me would be keen.

My collection!

Enjoy.

Actually no...

He's about 2x maybe 2.5x as big as the one you're describing. That is the Build a Figure Giant Man from the Wal-Mart Exclusive Wave of Marvel Legends.

He came broken in 10 parts that you had to obtain along with the 9 standard figures from the wave plus one variant Wolverine.

But I do know the Giant Man you're referring to...

yea i saw the hands are different. i was just happy to find a giant man without paying an arm and leg for. i now need a mini wasp figure.

anyone else in here buy the ML superhero showdown figures? if so who is in wave 3? and who is in wave 4?

Never bought a showdown figure.

I must say however that the Ultimate Ghost Rider figure is quite easily the most badass legends figure ever even if he isn't in the legends line.

ionacus wrote:anyone else in here buy the ML superhero showdown figures? if so who is in wave 3? and who is in wave 4?

I bought them on and off while they were out... and missed a few that I wish I had bought when I had them in my hands (like Silver Surfer). Here is what the cardbacks say from the few newer ones. I'm not sure about all the varaints, so I've only listed those that I know of or have.

Assortment 3
Green Goblin
Beast (and Dark Beast varaint)
Juggernaut (and a variant)
Elektra (and a white variant)
Silver Surfer

Assortment 4
Daredevil
Thor
Venom
Invisible Woman
Cyclops

Rider and Starter sets
Ghost Rider & motorcycle
Logan & chopper
Namor & hammerhead shark
Mr. Fantastic vs Mole Man
Colossus vs. Magneto

I collected these partly on the fact that I like some of the characters, but also because they're not too far off from the 3¾" figure scale (at an average of 4"). I managed to get a Venom figure from an online store a month or so ago, and at a close-to-retail price. They never got more of those last wave in, even though I had an Invisible Woman in my order and they delayed the order for almost a month. Venom is pretty cool, if not for the pieces of corn on his tongue (which is supposed to be symbiote drool, of course).

A big, I TOLD YOU SO, to the Hasbro Haters.

I want that Cyclops figure.

The Cap looks a little Cartoonish. But I do like the Hydra Agent behind him. About time we got some troop building lackeys. Rather it be Hellfire Agents or Skrull, but ah well.

I'm not up on the New X-Men, is that Jean or Rachael? Cyclops is the best so far.

Bucky... I mean, come on Bucky?

Thats Rachel.

I'm definitely going to pick up that wave. I'm more of a spontaneous collector. I'm trying to figure out how I am going to get the Build a Figure Blob without buying that full set though. lol

She's a cutie. Weird elbows & knees though. Hopefully they make for good displaying.

I really like the knee joint. Because her legs are bare, the joint gives a much smoother appearance than a double-hinge would.

mmm...Rachel legs...

Not a comic expert, so who's the wierd robot girl? And that's cool, I didn't realize the Cap being released was the black Cap, even though I don't know much about the character.

And Bucky is cool, and I'm glad he's getting a figure, even though I don't collect Legends(my bro does though). Wish it was the Winter Soldier version though.

Duke of Luns wrote:Not a comic expert, so who's the wierd robot girl?

Her name is Danger.

Basically, the X-Men's Danger Room becomes sentient after gathering data for years and years and years.

Xavier notices this as his power picks up on the newfound life, however, he does nothing about it. He tells no one.

So the program evolves and grows on its own, learning to hate Xavier and how to fight the X-Men over and over.

Eventually, it breaks out, kills some kids, and becomes one of the newer more legitimate threats to the X-Men.

(It also results in Cyclops telling Xavier to get the F out of their lives as they can no longer trust him and begin to wonder about just how much he has hidden from them.) <-My fav part...

You know, I'm really not warming up to the Hasbro ML's. I guess it's the lack of sculpting detail in places, and the lack of the comic book.

This wave looks decent, Rachael looks good. But Cyclops and Cap, the heads look screwy, same with Colossus.

The Brood sculpt just looks all sorts of "WTF."

I'm not sure why you'd think Cyclops and Colossus look odd; I can understand Cap though.

Cap is a 'First Appearance' figure, meaning he's sculpted stylistically in order to replicate how the character's first comics drew him. (In this instance, poorly...)

What is wrong with the Brood Queen? Best I can tell, she looks a lot like her comic counterpart.

I think the Captain America figure has been perfected with the Ultimate version and the Versus pack variants. Its time to move on. Give me the less notable US Agent.

I'm also done with Wolverine, Hulk and [though he's probably the most legitimate figure to make several versions of] Ironman.

Blasphemy! You can never have enough Iron Man in your collection.
