I would have liked a Paul Smith era or even JRJr era Rogue, but I like the character enough to get the trenchcoat version.  That said, no luck finding one in two of the local comic shops, both sold out (1 copy at each) by lunchtime today.

I agree Ryan.  Definitely not my favorite version either, but enough to get it for the collection.

I got Super Skrull, Spider-Woman, and Rogue today. Nice to have a few
more girls to balance things out. Didn't really care for the huge smile on the
Skrull but that's a quibble.

Over the past couple of days things have gone on a pace with regards to the CMFC.  Some good news back from the Q&A session with Richard Jackson and of course the confirmation that at least 120 standard figs will be made.

What you may not be aware of is the Questionaire that Eaglemoss have initiated via the UK website.  Although subscription is not an option for USA collectors, you can still have an input into what you expect from the series.

Please take a few minutes to complete the questionaire

http://www.marvel-figurines.co.uk/questionnaire/questionnair e.html

As more news comes in I will keep you all informed.  If I don't get the chance then there are other members on here who regularly visit my sites to get the latest gossip and post it on here.

Cheers

Steve

Yesterday I made space for Spider-Woman and the Super Skrull, in anticipation of their arrival. Still room for about six or eight more figures in the display case, without going to a second row on each shelf.

One point of "concern", tho, is the silhouette of some of the upcoming figures. Characters with wings or flared capes are difficult to stand in line with other characters -- and especially if those characters themselves have wings or flared capes!

I like these comments from Richard at Eaglemoss in particular:

I can confirm that 120 has become official and let you know that the following characters will definitely be included: Baron Zemo, War Machine, Hobgoblin, and Taskmaster.

Abomination is confirmed and the Man-Thing will definitely feature at some point but I'm not entirely sure when. I think personally I'd like to get another mega special out after Abomination, perhaps a Sentinel or Watcher can't confirm either yet as we haven't started to sculpt them.

Double packs are most definitely a possibility, I'm currently trying to get a few ideas together to prove these will be worth while. My favourite is obviously Cloak and Dagger but there are a few other possibilities

Baron Zemo will probably look however he's most recently appeared in Thunderbolts. I'm not holding my breath for the old Masters of Evil version long dead.  Sasquatch and Puck two-pack, Northstar and Aurora two-pack, original Beast and Perez Beast two-pack...see lots of good ideas out there.

Baron Zemo will be on my list, provided he's actually the classic
version.

Here's the new arrivals…



Super Skrull is about a head too short.

And since someone asked, this is the PVC She-Hulk in somewhat larger
scale.

No love from the West Coast, JB.  First, Europe gets these months earlier than us, then you get your Midtown order a week before me each time.  It's not fair, I tells ya!
