My fingers are crossed for Alpha Flight!

I'm hope they don't spread themselves too thin with more Marvel characters plus the new DC line. The realistic sculpts and good paint jobs are what keep me coming back. If that starts to slip, I'll have to put my 12 bucks back in my pocket.

I've got faith in Eaglemoss.  Haven't let me down so far!

JB, I can't help but noticed that you accidentally included Emma Frost,
Mystique, Juggernaut and Magneto in with the bad guys. As it happens, they
were all just misunderstood.

I am glad to see that you're regularly rotating your cast. A large part of the
appeal of these figures for me is the simple pleasure of rearranging them
whenever a new friend joins the club.

Ordered the Human Torch and Hawkeye a couple of hours ago.

I'm hoping they make Mockingbird and Wonder Man.

Wow people, you should really have a look at THIS :

http://www.marvelcustoms.co.uk/newfullfiglist.htm

I will certainly get these ones (depending on the design, of course):

  • Absorbing man
  • Gladiator
  • Guardian
  • Moonknight (I hope the cape will be flying around and the pose will be cool !)
  • Sabretooth
  • Rhino (please, make him running "à la " Juggernaut !)
  • Abomination

Still no signs from my favorite ones (Sasquatch, Gorgon), but the BIG ones such as Abomination and Rhino are really good news since I found out I had collected more heroes than villains so far, and that I had few BIG villains characters (only Juggernaut). Now, with Abomination and Rhino it will make the forces equal.

Hi JB, not nitpicking, but want to make sure folk are aware that the info on my site is not speculation....so just to clarify your quote above which taken out of context can be unintentionally misleading .

" All the way down at the bottom of that page they admit their list is "pure
speculation
" ". 

The full text is "Anything else is pure speculation".  The info on my page has come directly from Eaglemoss and is accurate.  I have been given the working list including issue release numbers up to UK issue 100.  I have listed the figurines alphabetically to stop folk moaning bucketloads when their fave gets slipped back for whatever reason (This happened with Prof-X and Carnage; the grief that was received by EM and me was unreal). 

 The pure speculation remark is directed against the WIKI******* list that was totally wrong.  I hate WIKI******** and found it a real struggle to get the facts across, everytime the list was corrected, it reverted to fantasy again within 12hrs.

 

:-)

 

Cheers

all

Steve

Ha! There was a momentary glitch when downloading this page and for a second I though JB's short list was composed of hundreds of Guardians!  

I want to see a Ka-Zar AND Zabu special! Alpha Flight (Including Sasquatch) and the Inhumans (Including Lockjaw) would be great! Mmm, and Tigra! I seem to be obsessed with the hairy denizens of the Marvel Universe!

My comment is in direct response to Richard's.
