No way.  No way.  If I did that, and got outside my "just the X-Men" thing, I'd go nuts collecting yet another line.

But that Juggernaut is in a lot of X-Men comics....

Well Juggernaut should be, he's Xavier's half brother afterall.

Anyone finding the new wave? I have yet to see any, could use some help on Archangel and Havok.  Now that i am buying more of these i regret not picking up a few that i didnt think i "needed" when the line started.  Missing Bullseye, Guardian, and modern Ms. Marvel (never saw her on the pegs at least).

I keep up with this line pretty well, and I've yet to see any reports of the line being found at retail anywhere.  You still have some time.

All of my Walmarts and Targets barely even carry this line.

With the exception of comic packs, for some reason.

I've just resigned myself to the fact that I have to order the case from Entertainment Earth, and that works out fine for me.

Or just order the wave when they show up on HTS.  That way, you don't have to deal with all of the extra crap that comes in a case.

That takes really really good timing.  If you're away from your computer from anywhere between 1/2 a day to 2 days, you might miss your chance.

I have been very lucky with HTS and this line - hopefully I didn't just jinx myself

Hey all!

2 new Marvel Universe customs!

1st up: Bullseye



I used an Electro that was hanging around on the Walmart pegs forever, because I hated the Wave 1 version of Bullseye which was way too short and stocky for my liking.  But the Electro head and body was a direct hit!  Even the smirk was a pretty nifty match.

Next: Warren Worthington III



I'm not sure I'm thrilled with the head, it's okay.  But overall I love the way he came out.  He's made from MU Torch and DC Hawkman wings.

Thanks for looking!

Question for you MU fans.  Has there been any word on a Rogue or new Gambit figures for this line?  I have the Wolverine Gambit, but he could use an update with some more articulation.

I haven't heard anything yet, though I'm sure they'll be made at some point.

Thanks!

The red variant thought did cross my mind.  I basically just re-read the entire Dark Reign and Angel was looking pretty much blue most of the time, so that's what I went with.
