Who is Winter Soldier?

The 2 packs are a cool idea but who they're paired up with is strange. Magneto and Black Spidey? Why not Cyclops and Magneto. Black Spidey and Black Spider Woman?

MJ is a neat pick. She would have been good in 2 pack with Peter Parker or something.

Archangel is one of my favorites. I hope its the silver wings and blue/purple costume from Xfactor.

Winter Soldier is Bucky Barnes.  He was found after allegedly "dying" during WWII and brainwashed by the Russians into an assassin (Winter Soldier).  After the death of Captain America, Bucky/WS became the new Captain America.

I was really hoping to see Vance Astro or Stalord myself.

Anyone seen the second wave in Canada?

Vance would have been a great addition.  The second wave should be hitting soon.

Picked up a Bullseye in Michigan yesterday.  Passed on the variant Torch, though it is much nicer than the regular one.

I got the variant a while ago via eVilbay.  It is nicer.

Only a matter of time beofer the 2nd wave gets here - or someone has some to sell at the con!

I managed to find the Wolverine Origins figures this week.  Bought a Deadpool and a Gambit!

I came across most of the Wolverine Origins figures this week.

So far I picked up Deadpool, Gambit, Wolverine (yellow), Wolverine (brown).

It looks like Deadpool, Gambit and Wolverine (brown) are the hardest to find.  Most likely due to the 1 per case ratio.  I did see Maverick and passed, but now I can't find him.

Does anyone know if the comic series figures in the Wolverine line count towards the 70 figures to be released this year?

The way Hasbro churns out figures, I wouldn't expect that the Wolverine figures will count as part of the 70.  I can imagine that the likes or Deadpool(sweet figure!) and Gambit could be re-released down the road as part of this series.  Seems like a Hasbro sort of thing to do.

W:O is a different line, released specifically for the movie. 

The bonus is that it keeps the MU line free of Wolverine for probably the rest of the year, while still giving us Wolverine in the 3 3/4" line.  Thanks to W:O we now have 3 Wolverine costumes, Deadpool, Gambit, Maverick (who probably wouldn't have been made in the MU line anyway) Sabretooth in a couple costumes and a couple of Logans. 

That means more room for secondary characters and Iron Men!!! in the MU line.
