I plan on carrying them, but for some reason my distributor isn't offering them yet?

Odd.

Finally! I have mine....let's say that they aren't meant for kids...I mean the ball joints popped right out as I put the figures out of the bubble. Not just one, all of them...you try to pose them near a gijoe figure and POP the arms stays in your hand...I though those were meant for a new way to PLAY not repair your figure hehe.

They look very nice though. if your a marvel legends fan you'll probably like em too though be aware that they are very fragile. Its a matter of popping it back on...

Good point though, no screws, you can play with them in the bath LOL

I just found these at Toys R Us in K-Town. The 2 packs are $17.99 and single packs are $9.99. They only had one Wolverine/Hulk 2 pack but that was before I got there. They still have 4 or 5 Spidey/Thing packs as well as a bunch of Ghost rider, Doc Oct, Punisher (ugly freaking head) and black Spidey.

I was hoping they would be a bit cheaper but when you compare them to smalljoes prices, the single figures are $8.99 USD and the 2 packs are $14.99 USD, so TRU's price isn't that bad. I imagine if these ever show up at a place like Walmart i could see them being $7.99 a pop.

To answer Mike's question, American packaging (no french).

I picked punny up for $7 at TRU over the border, and he looks awful. Kind of like he didn't drink his milk and is suffering from a bad case of osteoporosis. You have to put him in a jacket to make him look somewhat passable. He doesn't come with weapons (except a single rocket launcher) but can barely hold the joe ones anyway.  

The only other fig that I would consider turned out to be the chase one, and I don't care enough to chase them down. The plainclothes Wolvie is likely the best in the bunch, so naturally it's the chase one.  :?

These could have been a lot better. I'm also coming to the conclusion that superarticulation and detail seem to work better for 6 inch figures. (microman and stickfas aside) ...

Grand REALLY needs to smarten up.

If they claim they make these for the collector first, why are they suddenly showing up at major retail (ML10 and 11 as well).

Just makes no sense. Now that they're out in Canada, I won't be carrying them.

Way to go Grand/Toy Biz
