Picked up Cable, finally. I like 'em. I may get a Deadpool someday, but until a really good Archangel comes out, I think I'm done for a while. I actually passed up on Juggernaught, for some reason.

Juggernaut is a really awesome figure. It's friggin' huge, and the joints are actually tight, which is more than I can say for previous big guys like Colossus and Thor.

Yeah, Juggernaut is one that hasn't ever shown up here (at least yet), and from what I've read/heard is a really nice figure.  I'm hoping to get one someday, if/when it shows up here or via Amazon.

Behold the Marvel Metamorphs!.  Um.....yeah.  Apparently our favorite heroes are now transformers as well.  Pictures aren't the biggest, but I think we get the idea.

Didn't they try this once with not so great success? I smell pegwarmers.

Blech.

Kids are the target instead of adults?  Otherwise see above comment.

Wow, those Metamorphs look kinda lame.

Maybe it's the small pictures, so you can't really see how cool they are, but I'd have to guess that they will suck.

I can't seem to recall an issue of Wolverine where he transformed into a jet plane...  :-\

Well I wont be buying them. As long as they continue with Legends I dont care what happens. I don't see this line working though.

I got a kick out of that comment.  Who knows, with all the books that Wolverine shows up in already, maybe he's crossing over to the Transformers comic now too (only kidding).

I'll be passing too, but maybe some of the kiddos would like these, we'll see I guess.  Part of me wishes that they would use those resources in the Marvel Legends line even more, instead of always trying to branch out into dozens of other lines.  Same could be said of Star Wars in some ways too.  Some of the other lines are neat, but others just seem to over-saturate things too much.  I'll just stick to Legends/Classics thank you :).

Yeah, they did something where the character turned into an animal or something like that.  I can't believe they would make such a dumb mistake AGAIN.

Found two Sandman figures today, so I guess TB is finally packing villians more than one per case.

I didn't buy one, as I have little interest in Sandman as a character, but two local collectors or one scalper will be happy. :-\

Saw a case of wave VIII today at TRU.  2 each of IM, Cap, Iceman and Storm.  One BW.  No Doc Ock or Manthing.  Grabbed Iceman and Black Widow.  No desire for IM or Cap and I have Storm coming from Brent.

Congrats on the finds Mikey!  Headed out this afternoon after work to check around hoping to find some new Legends (or Animated Clone Wars).  Anyways, I was clicking through some listings on Amazon, and clicked on "other items from Toy Biz" on one of the listings, and they apparently have some of the Fantastic Four movie figures listed for preorder (release on May 1).  No pics, but here's what was listed ($8.99 on there by the way):

Fantastic Four Movie Series 1 - 6" Figure Power Blast Invisible Woman

Fantastic Four Movie Series 1 - 6" Figure Punching Dr. Doom

Fantastic Four Movie Series 1 - 6" Figure Mr. Fantastic with Stretch
