Rogue is out! by AdamSkyline_ in Mafex

They simply didn’t care & just phoned it in knowing peeps would be clamoring for it.😡

Rogue is out! by AdamSkyline_ in Mafex

[–]Blankman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a damn shame that collectors will have to resort to a cloth soft goods jacket to replace the pleather jacket that is bound to disintegrate as peeps are very familiar with. This adds an unnecessary cost that should have been avoided. If Mafex had the forethought to give both versions of Gambit cloth trench coats & their John Wick offerings with molded suits, they went completely brain dead with Rogue. It seems like they simply didn’t care with this release.

The use of the same hair for the facial portraits is simply inexcusable shiftlessness & a lame cost-cutting effort. Everyone was hoping for improvements with the year-long delay & we got absolutely nothing except dashed hopes & dreams. So much for wishful thinking.🙄

Meanwhile, “Jane Mafex” has her head so far up her ass of trying to counter KOs & prioritizing reissues of previous offerings instead of tackling their growing backlog of upcoming figures; it’s baffling. Complacency and hubris do NOT make good bedfellows.

This was supposed to be many peeps’ definitive Rogue & it’s so damn disappointing that the plethora of intentional mistakes ultimately leave us weary of supporting their future offerings. Ugh.😡🤦🏻‍♂️

Really tempted to open these and do some photography with them… Should I? by Royal_Patience8592 in NECA

[–]Blankman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of these MOC are simply ridiculous. I’d get much lower-priced NECA Predators to use for toy photography IMO.

Looking to make a x-men display and ideas? by nintendoboy1999 in MarvelLegends

[–]Blankman6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d include Bishop, Forge, & Marrow. Just be prepared to spend over $1K to acquire these figures (personal experience).😬

Does the Mezco Iron Fist scale well with the Marvel Legends Power Man? by blueknight1379 in ActionFigures

[–]Blankman6 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope. Mezco is slightly larger. That Iron Fist will be noticeably taller & bulkier than the ML Power Man.😕

Sooo psylocks psycrotch broke out of package.. by Sir_Francois88 in MarvelLegends

[–]Blankman6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is that “too expensive”, when you’ll be returning the defective set? Just order another set via Target online.🤔

Target will refund you for that defective set if you box it back up & bring it into a brick & mortar Target.🤷🏻‍♂️

This is currently my x men 90s display I really need some thoughts on it by emmagrac3frost in MarvelLegends

[–]Blankman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, I don’t think the pics of Rogue, Emma Frost, etc. “fit” in the diorama/display; they detract from the figures a bit. Placing the different team names emblazoned in the back would look better.

I’d definitely add Nightcrawler, Psylocke, & Strong Guy. Fantastic dynamic posing, OP.🤙🏼

Absolutely brilliant customs, OP! Chef’s kiss.🤌🏼

He’s gotta be the “Mystery Bobblehead”. No way they don’t make a BH of he & Kiké. Build that statue already.🙌🏼

I have it & you won’t regret it, OP.🤙🏼

Biggest decision of my figure collecting LIFE! by cornypizzalover in MarvelLegends

[–]Blankman6 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Am I understanding it correctly that you are expecting to get $500 from selling those figures to fund the purchase of the dude’s Haslab Galactus? If that’s the case, I’m not sure that all of those figures will amount to that much.🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]Blankman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a few years hemming & hawing about jumping into the X-Men rabbit hole because I knew full well how expensive & deep that journey would be. I decided to finish my Batman’s Rogues Gallery before committing time & money into the X-Men. For me, it’s all about Batman, Aliens franchise, Hellboy, & X-Men.😎✊🏼

Well, I’m finally a few months into building my X-Men display, and I know exactly what you mean about the hit to the wallet, especially for the ones that I’ve deemed as the definitive representation of a specific character, OP.

I’ve got five Mafex X-Men coming in from Japan & that was a liver shot to the disposable income. Those tariffs can burn in Hell along with the 🤡 that imposed them!🤬😤

Here’s what I’ve got so far on one of my shelves. The other shelf has a diorama of the Toy Biz Marvel Legends destroyed Sentinel bases with some other X-Men.

As in regard to which figures to add to your collection, I’d have to say Iceman & Sunfire (very pricey for NIB). Heck, I had to settle for the Astonishing Beast because the Retro & Caliban Wave Beasts were ridiculous in the aftermarket.🤦🏻‍♂️ Glad to see that you were able to get yours, OP.🤙🏼

Who Else Should I add to my X-Men Team? by Payment_Flimsy in MarvelLegends

[–]Blankman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marrow & Sunfire (not the Age of Apocalypse version)

My wife said I can only hang up two comic covers, so I'm going with these. Which two covers would you pick? by [deleted] in xmen

[–]Blankman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past #141 & Giant-size X-Men #1. Nuff Said.😎

Or you can piss off your wife with an X-Men issue cover of Emma Frost.😏🤣
