Look forward to seeing what the Hobgoblin figurine looks like.  Zemo, Taskmaster, Black Knight and Nomad are probable.  I've been pretty selective so far.

Looks like we are going from "Classic" to characters a 20+ year reader of marvel comics has never heard of.  I am afraid to ask what or who X-Man is

I'm really looking forward to seeing Black Knight. As long as he's not sculpted with a leather jacket and 5 o'clock shadow, I'll be pretty happy.

23 definites and 6 maybes, depending on the sculpts.   Which means I'll have 39 of them in the end.

I'm pretty happy with the Wasp included with Yellowjacket so will pass on that one.  Hoping a few other Avengers come out nice.  Probobly going to pass on a lot of the lower listed figures.

I received my Eaglemoss VALKYRIE figurine today; unfortunately, the sword is broken.  Can anyone tell me what the best method/means of repairing this would be (e.g., what glue? epoxy? any particularly good brands? techniques?)?

Thanks very much for any advice.

I don't follow the comics, so I don't know who many of these characters are.

However, I found these pieces of lead to be cool looking, so I have all of them thru Scorpion. I also have Shocker + Professor-X 2-pack, as I buy some from UK on Ebay. 

Now I am waiting for Lady Deathstrike. I will need to pick her up at a comic store--as I want to make sure that her fingers are not broken.

I started out with Silver Surfer. Then I wanted the Fantastic Four. At that point, I figured that I would buy all 80. Then EM turned the initial 80 into 100, 120, 140, etc.

When I start to run out of space (by issue 100), I will start cutting back from buying every one.

For DC, I have around 8 of them, and I don't plan on getting more than 25-30. I only want the major Super Heros + some of Batman's villains.

Got my package yesterday - man, fitting Bishop, Valkyrie and Prof. X in the box REALLY screwed the mags. Still, since the Valkyrie mag was written by the guy who just pokes fun at the characters that's not a big loss.

C'mon Eaglemoss, get it together and write some decent copy.

As of late, my enthusiasm has diminished for these figures. Hardly any of
the upcoming releases are must haves for me. I think it's now time for the
real classic wave. I need the Wolverine in his Byrne designed costume, the
REAL furry Beast, The original X-Men in there black and yellow uniforms.
Give me the chance to buy the characters I grew up with and I'll binge again,
until then I'll sit on the sidelines.

The appearance of the likes of Sentry and Jinx bodes ill, I fear, for any truly
"classic" figures to fill up the ranks. So many that should have been done
before as many has half of what has already come out!

Marc,

Sorry for the delay.  I use good ol' Krazy Glue.  Since I've discovered this new brush-on bottle, life has been bliss.  It reduced the mess and stuck together fingers by a lot.  I pick them up at Michael's.

Ryan,

My local-bud!  Thanks very much for the assist.  I will pick some up this weekend.  May I see some pics of your repair jobs?  I would be curious to see a master at work.

Anyone else who would like to share some advice and/or photos of repair jobs would be appreciated.
