That Doom is too rich for my blood.

However, if that use that as the look for the next FF film, I'd be happy. It's already much better than what we got from the last FF film.

I know I haven't purchased an action figure in a while but $24.95 each?  Hopefully I'm reading that wrong!

Nope. That's pretty standard for 6" specialty market figures now. General retail isn't much better with the 6" adult collector oriented figures being $19.99. That's why Mattel and Hasbro have been pulling back on these types of lines and doing more figures with fewer paint apps and articulation points.

Has anyone bought any of these figures? This line is pretty cool

If that is part of the POP! collection then yes! I just purchased Captain America. I also bought the Captain America and Red Skull Micro Muggs from Target and ordered their versions of the Mini Muggs. Great detail on those Muggs!

This may never get made if Marvel doesn't renew the contract with Bowen Designs. Either way, thoughts on this one?

Haha! It's Gamora with Guardians of the Galaxy. I've never followed the book and knew next to nothing of the characters until they decided to make a movie, but I think this design is very interesting to say the least. I just started reading the recent book and she has a different costume now.

Speaking of GotG, in the latest issue there is a little note on the bottom of the page that said something like "after Byrne" or "after John Byrne" when all the aliens were having a council meeting. I thought that was kinda neat.

As sad as this may seem, the way things are going kids and comics will soon be mutually exclusive. Comics aren't are as easily accessible as they once were, cost  four bucks at least, and kids are just too distracted with other ways of spending their time. It's insane how much kids are on their smart phones and on facebook and other such things. That's the wave of the future.

I wish comics were the way they were when I was a child, but now they cater to the 17+ crowd and that market is slowly dwindling. Both DC and Marvel need new editor in chiefs and really need to rehaul their lines(the right way) or comics are on a course with a speeding locomotive.

I saw a girl in the exact outfit at the local strip cup one Halloween.
Well, she was in it for about half a song.
