I found the Wanda and Vision Twopack! Glorious day I actually found something in the wild!

RIP Toys R Us. 😦 Dunno what’s going to happen with the TRU exclusives now so I snapped them up. My store had 4 packs and boy am I glad I went to choose them in person rather than order one. 

I know most people are buying this for Vision (or they don’t have a Wanda figure) but he really creeped me out in Civil War so I lost interest in his character. I’m not opening him for now because I might decide to sell his figure but I’m going to think about it because his character might redeem himself. It is a nice looking figure! So maybe I will keep him. 

Of the four I found I picked the nicest Wanda (I look at faces). Of the other three one was permanently set to look sideways because her face print was slightly off and had an extra red dot under her mouth, one had the lips printed so the red was only on the top and bottom of the lip so she looked like she had lipliner on and no lipstick and the last (which has two pictures) had both the strange lip print and she had what looked like a shiny patch of glue on her forehead. 

The Wanda I picked was not perfect. She has a slight divot in her nose, a faint mark on her cheek and what looks like some glue patches just covered by her hair on the right side of her face but overall it was the best I could find. 

The skin on her chest and fingers did not have the cleanest paint. I realised on the older figure her upper torso is skin coloured plastic with the top of the corset painted on and on the newer figure they did the reverse so they had to deal with painting around her necklace as opposed to painting the necklace on skin coloured plastic. 

Wanda coat is sliggghhttly more matte than the previous figure (which I have no idea what to do with now) and has better effects instead of the generic fireballs from before. They’re an extremely soft rubber (?) that makes it very easy to put on the figure but I fear accidentally ripping or squishing them too much. I like the paler skin but I’m not digging the paler hair. I feel like the hair colour from the previous figure was more in line with the actress’s. I’m tempted to do a hair swap.

I think Hasbro is doing well with their face print tech but it still has a few bugs so I’m going to be a bit careful of what I order online vs what I buy in person. 

New Steeb!

😦 The new Cap has a different sized neck peg so the angsty Steeb head I made a while ago is sorta sitting on the neck rather than actually clicking in place.

The head of new Steeb is just as weird as a lot of reviewers have said but I’m okay with it. It seems like one side of the face got printed in the right area and the other is off by the slightest bit which is all I’ve seen. Hopefully I can finish angsty Steeb for a proper comparison soon 😀

… I see they added the beard but it… looks like a porn stache DX AND SAM LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME DID THEY EVEN UPDATE HIM?!

>_> Does he maybe finally get an unmasked head???? D: CAN THEY GIVE AN ALTERNATE BUCKY HEAD WITHOUT STACHE?!

DX First no mane and now this.

^ D: The face print on instagram is so much better? The two pack is clearly the paint/stamp method and I thought they were going to print faces from now on. Please be a bad promo pic!

Marvel Legends 2018 Toyfair Wishlist

The MCU 10th Anniversary is coming up so there’s a lot incoming! 😦 I’m seeing a lot of Two packs which for some reason don’t really make it here to Aus or get them very late. I’m seeing some stores are only just getting the Thor/Valkyrie and the Tony/Spiderman sets. 

But moving on I’m excited but am being super picky due to $$$ and space issues.

Captain America with updated Steve Rogers head. Still doesn’t really look like Chris Evans to me and I really don’t want the Crossbones it’s in a Two Pack with.

Sif finally gets a Marvel Legends figure. :/ In a Two Pack with updated Thor

Lady Deadpool!

Pantless Deadpool is a must XD

PSYLOCKE

I care all about the updated Scarlet Witch with better special effects and face apps then Vision but I know a lot of people have been waiting for him!

All these figures seem to be 6inch. I haven’t seen any news yet on the 3.75″ line :(. Also while I’m grateful for the updated figures it means a lot of what I own is now probably going on ebay or the Fodder bin. And a bit annoyed with Two and Three packs I only want one character from but at least the figures are looking great. AND THE BAF ARE BACK TO BEING BIG AND NOT ANOTHER MANTIS/OKOYE FIASCO

There’s a HELL of a lot of figures coming out but this is my shortlist. Noted other figures are: Spiderham?!
