Last week, I picked up the Sentinel, Wonderman and, God knows why, I also took Havok, Deadpool and even the Sentry (the paint job was too fine on these ones to let them pass...).

For my french comrades looking for old issues, I recommend to have a look at the Album store in Paris, they almost have them all (except for Nightcrawler and Hercules, which are the 2 ones that I missed ...)

Anyway, Doc Samson is fine and will get him for sure !!!

Height-wise, that's how big I think a Sasquatch figure should be, but I seem to meet resistance on the other board whenever I mention that.  "But he's not supposed to be as tall as Galactus..."

As I have noted, the EM Galactus is very hungry, if we take him to be
the same scale as the other figures in the line!

Sasquatch would be about the same height as one of these Sentinels, which
are about how big they were when the characters were first introduced.

(I bought three, hence my plural.)

>Height-wise, that's how big I think a Sasquatch figure should be, but I seem to meet resistance on the other board whenever I mention that.  "But he's not supposed to be as tall as Galactus..."  Scale must not translate well across the Atlantic, as much as I love the folks over there.

Way to generalise, Ryan! Sasquatch should clearly be in proportion to the other human characters. Galactus is a special case all of his own.

My apologies, Leigh, and you're right.  Dickhead comment removed.

Guardian and Absorbing Man arrived today.  AM better than G.

Also at the back of the magazine it says in the behind the scenes "With the introduction of Alpha Flight, Canada finally had a Super Hero team to equal the X-Men or the Fantastic Four.  Mike Conroy talks to creator John Byrne about the birth of Alpha Flight, and Guardian in particular..."

Did he JB?

Just when I was going through Marvel Figurine withdrawal, I got Deathlok, Moon Knight, and a Sentinel today.  Love all three.  The Sentinel is huge!  I know it's a special and not to scale, but compared to everyone else in the collection (and his actual weight), he's big.  Moon Knight is a great sculpt with some really nice detail on his cape.  Deathlok, well, he's a favorite so I'm biased.  The only one they didn't have was Mole Man.  I'll have my LCS track him down.

Just did a Midtown order, it's been a while since I've had any new figurines.  Got an extra Luke Cage to customize. The pose will be perfect...
