It's generational, I'm sure. For guys who grew up on the fake breasts in skin mags and porn flicks, real breasts probably look "wrong." They're all soft and squishy!

(Twice Told Tale: the guy in the desk in front of mine in one of my high school classes had a huge crush on a girl who sat one row further ahead. She didn't do it for me, and I said as much, prompting him to catalog for me her attractive features, including her "suppulent" breasts. I informed him that was not a word -- but should be!)

Still in the early stages, but look who might be coming in the near future.

Picked up a Marvel Universe figure of Aurora today.
The joints are hideous but the face sculpt/paint is phenomenal!

From the blister pack illustration I take it the twins' powers have changed, and they no longer wear mirror-image costumes?

I bet some packaging designer mirrored Aurora's image without a second thought. That is just sad.

I believe the art is commissioned specifically for the cards, so that would be a screw-up on the part of the artist and whoever was in charge of approving it.

Gil,

   My son has Thor and the Hulk from the Avengers set but I'm sure we'll wind up with this one  too so he can get Falcon, Taskmaster and M.O.D.O.K.

I see more of Northstar than any other Alphan these days, and the details on his costume are rarely the same from one image to the next.  No doubt a symptom of being in the X-Men.

Has he been retconned into being an American, yet?

Not sure if this has been posted here or not, but this is a blog of someone's custom Muggs. Incredible work and details!
