The ToyBiz barrage continues as I found the Icons Spider-man at TRU this weekend. I was really happy to find it, probably one of the things I was hoping the most to not miss out on. I think it might be getting wrapped up as a Christmas present from the Mrs., but its nice to at least have one. They didn't have the Peter Parker variant though, so I'll still be on the lookout for that one. They also had a grey Beast. I'm still slightly tempted to pick up more of these Icons, because they are pretty well done and a decent price for what you get (although display space could be an issue). Plus, I would think the 6" characters I'd still want to get would be pretty limited at this point - and finishing up soon, but I thought that at the beginning of this year as well and here I continue to buy
.
Speaking of Series 15 as well...our TRU continues to just have tons of ML 13, 14 and 15 across pegs and shelves, but not a single variant to be found. The variants on the Face Off sets (and Icons) seem to be much easier to find - at least in general. I'm in the same boat as Ben, where I had kind of planned on getting the Punisher/Jigsaw set (just because I don't have a Punisher yet), but I didn't want to spend that much on the set when I can probably just pick up one of the older Punishers cheaper. I think I might be just about done with the ToyBiz figures now too. There's a few older ones I'd still like to pick up that I missed (Namor, Dr. Doom, Nick Fury, Punisher), and maybe Wasp from ML 15, but that might wrap things up on the ToyBiz line. It sure was a nice run, and overall great work by the company on this line. I wouldn't have ever imagined a line like this, ending up with the character roster that it did.
