I think I may pick up Thor but that is about it. I am not to impressed with what I hve seen so far.

Gothneo, Did you pick any of them up? If so could you get us some pics?

I'm a little pee'd off! Inspired by Artistix's Movie Xmen shot on another board I started on the movie range, picking the figures I wanted (not going completist), before getting some more core iconic figures. Browsing FP I picked up the Toybix X Men wave 2 Colossus, which was a drama in itself. The whole peg was reduced to a fiver having the appearance of having been painted by a blind person with Parkinson's. I finally found one where the red and yellow were two separate areas!

At the same time I picked up Toyfare to read on the way home. What did I see, the bloody HML wave three shot of movie Colossus!

They aren't really bad looking figures.

The Scarlett Witch ah, the drama that figure caused. Is that the bearded or the slightly fixed version? She looks kinda bearded.

The Bafs all look awesome together. I have pieces of a few of them. I will not be satisfied with my X-men ML display until I have a few Sentinels....gotta have them.

Cheers for the pics Gothneo.

Glad to see some pics of the HML2 It's definately going to be easier picking up these, as opposed to series 1. Although I'm most likely picking those up, since I picked up UIM and Planet Hulk last week when I was in Seattle I have to judge for myself how cool the Annihilus is Thanks for the picks, according to some folks in my area, they've started hitting Wal Mart's in my area. Might see if the Mrs. wants to take a trip or not. Oh, and I expect to see pics of the FF She Hulk G Yes, Sam, that's the bearded one. I saw a beautiful custom of her using the Psylocke figure and new hair. I might try something like that, but repaint the existing face. Since I feel it wasn't a bad face, just not the vavoom I associate with the Scarlet Witch

[Gothneo]

Yeah finding a SW with a good paint application is/was tough. I actually have a Second Witch, that I've been meaning to customize and fix. It shows though that sometimes less is better. Sure people are complaining that there are too few paint applications on Hasbro ML, but I honestly think that pict shows that it's better to err on the side of less.

I found these more than 2 weeks ago, and have not seen another set since.

I have a bunch of build a figure extra pieces specifically from Giant man (both legs, parts of arm) and apocalypse (head and other pieces). Im never going to finish these figures so if you want them i would be willing to make a trade.

This year the comic con exclusives for HML will be She Hulk & apparently Stan Lee...unless Stan is coming out later...I'm not sure but he is arriving this year.

Shulkie will come in her regular duds plus her courtroom gear:

Stan might be the ultra rare exclusive figure that will go for $100 but im just guessing

I still have not seen one of these anywhere in my area. The shelves are still packed with Hasbro ML series 1 (minus Ironman). The only one I actually thought about getting though was Thor. Hasbro has ruined the ML line for me so I have stopped collecting them.

[reverie]

I'd *love* to get my hands on the exclusives, but since I can't get them in person, that'll never happen. I think Hasbro has gotten a little better with wave two, but they're still not to ToyBiz level yet. My one friend warned me when I picked one up that it wouldn't stay to "just one". I should have listened.. lol.

I agree. Wave 1 looked hideous! And from what I've seen they don't look much better in the newer waves. Damned shame too. I still think their Phoenix figure was one of the best figures ever made!

[TheHSBR]

The only thing I have seen different on the Hasbro figures is the lack of a final wash of black paint to bring out the details of thesculpt. Look at the Thor comparison above. You can see how that wash/airbrush can drastically change how the figure looks. Besides from that the figures are exactly the same. I also think the selection of characters has been really bad which makes people feel bad about the line.

[The_Donster]

JMW, let me know if you need Thor and the next time I see him I will pick him up I hear what everyone is saying when it comes to the HML line, but with each wave it seems to be getting better. While I'm not really impressed with the SDCC FF She Hulk(It's not comic book accurate), I see what THSBR is saying too. Of course I immediately jump over to devil's advocate and could say, I'm paying $9.99 per figure I shouldn't have to repaint the damn thing Of course my wife puts it much more simple terms: "I supported you when you wanted to collect the Toybiz line honey. But the Marvel Select are only $14.99-19.99 and look alot better than the Hasbro figures".

I would appriciate it, really.
