I'll chime in for the torso if you don't mind. No hurry for it though, next time we swing a deal.

It's yours, Brent. Just to clarify, this is the lower torso where the legs attach, not the shoulders (but you probably already knew that).

Shockingly, some of the ML10 figures I preordered way back when from Amazon have shipped...and should be here today. A bit pricey at $8.99 a piece, but I'll be glad to at least have a few. Cyclops, Spidey, and Mystique should be here some time today, and I'll wait/hope for retail to bring me Angel, Sinister, and Panther (undecided on Omega Red). Retail has been dry around here, WM is hanging onto the same two Nightcrawlers, and Target has a couple Doc Stranges keeping the pegs toasty.

Looking at the future waves, this really looks like the last "big buying" wave for me for quite sometime. This is really the only thing outside of SW that I pick up anymore, aside from the occasional DC product, but after ML10 I don't see a whole lot that I get. Likely nothing from ML 11, and maybe 1 to 2 figures from the next couple of waves.

Right now, this thread has an attached pic of the upcoming "Marvel Masterworks" line from ToyBiz. Marvel Unleashed? Could be something similar to that, but its too early to tell for sure. Hit the linky if interested.

Wonder Man has a variant, the ionic purple one and Sasquatch comes with a white variant. Everything else looks ok to me.

Morgbug · « **Reply #1537 on:** October 19, 2005, 12:50 PM »

ML10: Sentinel Series
Done. Have the variants and two parts towards another Sentinel. Looking for extra Sentinel parts from anyone not building the beast.

ML11: Legendary Riders - It's out in Canada, though only at TRU
Logan - have it, can't decide if I'm keeping it, would rather have the variant
Wonder Man - have it (would also get variant if I see it)
Ultron - have yet to see it so can't decide if I'll get it.
Vengeance [Variant?] - is there a variant for this piece? Not that I want it.

ML12: Apocalypse Series - Early 2006?
-Sasquatch - will pick up whichever I see, this or variant
-Iron Fist - same here, only need one
not interested in big apocalypse so will have parts to spare

ML13: Bring on the Bad Guys - Rumored - 2006
-Abomination - yup, need him
-Green Goblin - doubt it, but will see what it looks like, I like the S6 version
-Lady Death Strike - maybe
-Loki - either version is fine though I like the classic version
-Pyro - maybe as well

Spider-Man Classic series 16 - Rumored - 2006

Fantastic Four Classic Series 1 - 2006?
-Super Skrull

Fantastic Four Classic series 2 - Rumored - 2006
-Kang

There's my wants out of the next year I suppose. Not too bad. I'm pretty much caught up for the year, thanks to some local luck and finding the latest spidey box in Fargo. Only 16 figures that I want

though 7 of them are very definite maybe's that are more likely as negatives. Less than 10 figures would be fine by me.

Oh. Where's Kingpin?

Angry Ewok · « **Reply #1538 on:** October 19, 2005, 01:41 PM »

I try to keep up with ML although I don't have space but for my few most favorites - but uh, can anyone tell me why X-Factor (91-98) has gotten the shaft? I realize I may be one of only a few hundred or so people that liked them, but uh...

Havok? Polaris? Wolfsbane? Mutliple Man? Strong Guy? Quicksilver? Forge? Wild Child?

Brian · « **Reply #1539 on:** October 19, 2005, 01:43 PM »

What I'm thinking for this/next year:

ML10: Sentinel Series - Out Now
Half done. Have Spidey, Cyclops and Mystique (from Amazon). Looking to pick up Sinister, Black Panther, and Angel for sure, undecided on Omega Red. Hoping these will turn up at retail soon.

ML11: Legendary Riders - Coming Soon
Likely nothing here.

ML12: Apocalypse Series - Early 2006?
I might pick up a Sasquatch, kind of like the character/look. Also, I'll probably get the Astonishing Wolvie, especially since I never picked up the Brown costume version (should have). Iron Fist is a maybe.

ML13: Bring on the Bad Guys - Rumored - 2006
Green Goblin for sure, because I don't have a version and the only one I've seen is the Ramos' "cartoony" version. Pyro is a maybe, leaning towards picking him up too. Deathstrike is a maybe/maybe not.

Spider-Man Classic series 16 - Rumored - 2006
Man Wolf most likely, not sure about the Venom. Is it new/better? I saw the earlier version at Walgreens the other day and almost picked it up, but wasn't sure if I should wait to see what this version was like. Don't have a Venom yet otherwise.

Spider-Man Classics Series 17 - Rumored - 2006
Hobgoblin and Hydroman are most likely. Spider-Hulk might be interesting, but we'll see.

Spider-Man Villains Series 2 - Rumored - 2006
Kraven (don't have earlier version), Chameleon, and maybe the Spot. More villains for Spidey.

Fantastic Four Classic Series 1 - 2006?
Possibly Super Skrull, but likely nothing from these unless they really look great in person.

Fantastic Four Classic series 2 - Rumored - 2006
Again, likely nothing from these unless the F4 look really good. I'm not real crazy about the box set versions of them I have now, and actually display the movie ones (aside from Thing) with my ML.

Fearsome Foes Box Set - Out Now
Done. Our Wal-Mart has had these for a few weeks now.

Pretty light for me overall, but that's just fine. For the most part, I'm leaning towards sticking mainly to the Spidey and X-Worlds from here on out. There are a few past Legends I'm looking to pick up eventually too, but unless some start looking quite spiffy in person now I don't think there will be too much overall. Probably around 10 figures or so for me too, from what we know of next year.

Havok? Polaris? Wolfsbane? Mutliple Man? Strong Guy? Quicksilver? Forge? Wild Child?

I'd like to know that too, definitely ready for a Kingpin. Most needed. I feel the same about a number of the figures Brad mentioned there too. I'd like to see Havok, Multiple Man, and Quicksilver for sure from that list.

Interesting question Brad. I think one of the big complaints is that the Legends lineup is already X-heavy, so maybe they're just priorizing? I wouldn't mind seeing a few of those though, notably Havok. And where's my Dazzler?

I find the lack of Psylocke interesting too, considering they've already done a Collector's club statue and a mini-bust.

Brian · « **Reply #1542 on:** October 20, 2005, 02:39 PM »

I got a chance to open up the 3 figures from the Sentinel wave I have so far, and from what I have of that Sentinel it sure looks spiffy. Definitely makes me want to get the other three pieces soon, and build that big mutha. As far as the figures themselves, I like those too. The Spidey, although we do have plenty, is pretty good I think. The fingers are a little small/delicate, but as a display piece I really like it. I kind of like the idea of having a "1st Apperance" Spider-man to put on my Spidey shelf. I like the Cyclops as well, as this is how I most remember him looking and it is my first Cyclops figure. Not too bad of a figure overall, and he is one of my favorite (and one of the essential) X-Men. The third figure I got was Mystique, and I'm kind of disappointed with this one. She was one of the X-men "baddies" I was most familiar with growing up, and I'm glad to put her along with Magneto, etc., but the figure isn't that great I don't think. Its missing a few places of articulation I think would help (glove/boot cuts) and the arms/legs on mine were kind of warped. No big deal I guess, but just not a real impressive figure. That Sentinel looks like it is pretty spiffy though, I look forward to completing it.

Morgbug · « **Reply #1543 on:** October 20, 2005, 04:34 PM »

I think you've been spoiled by your huge spidey Brian.

The Legendary Riders wave is now showing up at a second retailer locally (Superstore). I've had no further luck with the wave though, still having not seen Ultron, Scarlet Witch or Taskmaster up close. It does signal that the Galactus wave has finally stopped shipping though

Man but that overshipped. I wish it was the Sentinel wave because this stuff is bound for clearance but what do I do with a second Galactus?

Ummm.... pose one with the FF and the other with the Silver Surfer? A fancy paper-weight for the office?

I've seen a few cool pictures with the Kubrick/Minimates Silver Surfer and Galactus, like this one from the Kuby thread:
