That is great! - Now I just have to find a place that will have these, as I don't really want an entire case.

Off Topic / Marvel Legends 7 and Fantastic Four
« on: October 31, 2004, 06:30:30 PM »
Picked these up from BountyHunter on Saturday - WOW, Invisible Girl has 40 POA. I wish all of the female marvel characters could be redone using this body design - Elektra/Rogue/Pheonix was to fragile in the upper body, and the legs just didn't move properly.
Dr. Doom is great looking - the same as his other figure however (new head sculpt)
I like Things hands/fingers this time around, the bendy one were interesting but didn't really work.
Human torch is great - however his neck is a little funny, and he has limited head movement.
The let down is Mr. F - I never folllowed any of the unlimited series, so the new head sclupt doesn't do anything for me - make him look smug and goofy.
Herbie is funny, but a waste of plastic, the same goes for Franklin - interesting that they gave him some ball jointed limbs.
As for the Series 7, Ghost Rider is clearly my fav - followed by Appoc.
Great sculpt - and an even better cycle - fire makes everything look better!
Wish Apocalypse had some inter-changeable arms, or a better base
However I was surprised by IronMan, I was expecting him to be the dog of the series, but I like him - the mold is the same as the first time around - however they have added to it in all the right spots. And I don't mind the fact that his head isn't all the way exposed when he has his gear on - I would want some extra protection too, if I had a rocket strapped to my back.
Wolverine/Weapon X I find to be the lamo figure in thet set - I mean play value is in the toilet, how many times can you act out the injecting of adimantum (sp) - and from my memory the wolverine at that time frame didn't have any other marvel hero's/villians to fight.
The attention to detail on Hawk-Eye is great. Now I want Scarlet Witch and She-Hulk!
The downside to these new figures in my opinion, there wasn't enough wall mountable bases - I am running out of Shelf Space.

Customs / A question for all you customizers out there...
« on: October 24, 2004, 01:13:34 PM »
I had to pick some up from Corey Stinton at SmallJoes.com.
Buy the largest amount they offer - the shipping on 10 screws/100 screws was the exact same for me.

Off Topic / Skyway Toy Show
« on: October 18, 2004, 11:25:08 AM »
I didn't make it on Sunday to the toy show in Mississauga, was wondering if anyone went, and how it was. I usually l try to make it to this one, as I find it is the first of the big ones in the GTA, so the selection is usually good, and you usually get great prices.

General Joe Talk / Wave 4 and 5
« on: October 16, 2004, 07:09:06 PM »
The US has wave 4 and wave 5 is now showing up, this doesn't give me a positive feeling about seeing either of these waves at retail here in Canada - now is usually the time and retailers like Zellers and WalMart have stocked up their Toy dept. for the upcoming Christmas season, and these stores have next to no Joe in their isles.
Does this concern anyone else?

General Joe Talk / Giant Tiger?
« on: October 14, 2004, 11:02:37 PM »
They must be getting some of their Christmas Toy selection in - or they will be over the next couple of weeks - has anyone heard, or better yet, been into one to see if there are any discount Joes or Power Team Elite?
I am interested, but not interested enough to drive 1 hour to find out.

Ontario / Jungle Strike Humvee and Sky sweeper jet
« on: October 03, 2004, 09:23:48 PM »
they must have restocked, as the last time I was there the only had 2 Humvee's left.
I am hoping this vehicle sells well, and convinces TRU to take all of the other vehicles too. - I am not however going to hold my breathe on that one.

Saw one of the Humvee's last night in Oakville TRU. It was hidden behind some stuff, so I put it back in plain view.
