Ryan,Richard, and others...

What do you think of the look of the Ms. Marvel as represented on that figurine box?  To me that just isn't the Divine Ms. M.

Well, I agree this is not the best cover EM has released so far. They should have picked up a pic from the Perez run on the Avengers.

This is not the "classic" costume, but since Perez draw her this way, it sounds like enough classic to me...

Definitely don't like the magazine cover.  It looks too much like a bad trading card.  Way over done computer coloring and her hair looks like she hasn't bathed in weeks.

After looking at the Ms Marvel pic on the last page, somehow I just knew that would make you happy!

Hating the UK right now!

Of the seven pictured, I've already got Super Skrull and I'll be getting Electro, Blackbolt, Dormamu, the Leader, and the Vulture when they're available here in the States.  Looks like Blackbolt suffers from the same malady that struck Captain Britain in that he looks shorter than I think he should be. Hope he's not shorter than the Medusa figurine!

That looks like a giant Heroclix to me.  Odd price point, 19 Euros, isn't it?  I'd rather have a normal base to match the rest of the collection and just pay whatever the other "special" figures cost.  I'm not a fan of the character, what do you guys that know the Hulk comics think?

No new releases this coming week, according to Midtown.

I'd rather have the same base.

At least he's not blue and the Hulk isn't red.

Matt, Black Bolt isn't shorter than Medussa. If you count out her hair she is reasonably shorter, with the hair almost the same height, with his antenna reaching the top of her hair.
What I didn't like about him was the super square jaw, the overall mediocre painting job and of course the dark blue costume. It's BLACK Bolt and he ain't even black. What could possibly have led them to NOT paint him black?!?!
