Often enough apparently.  Hold that Cable, I'll see what I can find for a Shocker.  Do you need carded or loose?

I'm opening Shocker anyway so loose is fine.  How do you want your Cable, carded or loose?  I can probably do either.

BRB looks great!  Surprised to see him though...is he making a comeback in the comics or is this just another way to capitalize on Thor fever?

Crap. Hasbro is showing off a Gambit figure for the Marvel Universe line but it looks like a repaint with new head for the Wolverine version.  I have that figure and it sucks compared to the rest of the MU line.  No ankle articulation, no wrists, goofy hand pose and the hard plastic jacket is really limiting.

Was hoping for brand new and soft goods when they got around to him for the MU line.  Still no Rogue but I do want to see her done, especially since I think most of the female figs in the MU line so far have been excellent.

Saw the new Galactus with Silver Surfer tonight, as well as the Giant Sized X-Men multipack.  I've been able to ignore this line for a while, but those sets were awesome!

Puck from Alpha Flight?

Does anyone younger than 40 know who that is?!?!

Have they made any other figures from that comic? I loved that.

Most of these are great choices.  I will definitely grab Scarlet Witch, Beta Ray Bill, She-Hulk, Hercules, and Beast if he looks good.  Might even get  Kang.  She-Hulk will be a true test of their commitment - do they use the same modl they've used for all the other females or do they go big?  Hoping they get a new mold and re-use for Red She-Hulk, Titania, etc. 

Nova, Puck, Nighthawk, Angel, and Kraven are all fine with me too.  I won't buy them, but we're past most of the A-List figures at this point.  These are mostly fringe characters, but I'm sure someone out there wants them the same way I want fringe Avengers (come on with the Black Knight already Marvel!).  I'm more dissapointed that we are seeing yet ANOTHER Hulk and Spidey showing up again in both waves!  Seriously, how many MU Spidermen do we need?  Not to mention the fact that Spidey has a seperate line of Spiderman characters that fit nicely with the MU stuff already.  I'd be willing to wager there are more 4" Spiderman figures than there are Iron Man figures at this point and that's pretty ridiculous.  I know the formula works for Vaders and Anakins and Yodas and Lukes, but we do not need any more Spiderman taking up assortment space.

Both She Hulk and Scarlet Witch look fantastic, new bodies for each of em. They realy seem to be stepping up their game sculpt wise, the newer bodies look really nice.They've got a new Daredevil/Bullseye comic pack coming too that puts the old versions to shame.

Okay, looked up the pics on marvelousnews.com and these are pretty sweet!  Any word on where the regular version of Strange is going to pop up?  I saw a display box of these the other day at Target, but they were all Astral Plane Strange.  That Beta Ray and the Scarlet Witch are amazing!
