Check your area targets.  I saw the 80th anniversary Thor and Iron man on shelves. 

Thanks for the heads up.  I’ll poke my head in at lunch.  Anybody seen a Cap out in the wild?

Also, if it's possible, can someone post a photo of the Hulk from Hulk/Wolvie 80th pack beside any Jim Lee based ML X-Men charcter. Just want to see how it looks. Thanks! ;)

Why do you want to see Hulk next to a Blue/Gold team member?

You should get that Hulk anyway, imo.

Dorkside shipped the X-Force wave this morning.

Both sets are great.  Good thing I didn’t do the jacket mod to my Cyclops yet.

The Colossus in the set is Classic Colossus and it is close.  The noticeable differences are the arm guards, belt, shoulder area of his costume, and knee area of the boots.

If you’re thinking about getting the Hulk, you should get the Hulk.

Thanks for the replies, guys! Really appreciate it. :)

For the Colossus, yeah, I'm thinking the same thing because from what I remember Jim Lee's Colossus have those arm guards and the rest of what you've mentioned. And for me to get a loose figure of it since I don't need Juggernaut, is almost the same price as the set so I'm just considering of getting the set instead. And just wait later on if they will make an actual Jim Lee Colossus. At this point, I'm just ok for now on getting the figures that somehow resembles Jim Lee's X-Men since the recent released Gambit doesn't look like Jim Lee's. Sorry, I didn't like his hair somehow. hehehe. :lol: 

As for the Hulk, I'm just thinking random ideas on what to do with it just in case I decided to make a custom figure using that body since I've read it's the best articulated Hulk figure out there. And hopefully, proportion-wise it's in good scale when I see it beside with a Blue/Gold team member since most of the other figures I have for future custom project are using the same body mold. And getting is now is more practical than getting it afterwards with a higher price.

prime2da1st is taking Arcade cabinet orders on Instagram again if anyone is interested.  Pricey. $70 for six player X-Men cabinet and $50 for the four player ones.  No discounts on multiple orders either.

Sh, did you ever get your arcade cabinets yet?

Not yet.

Kind of cool.

They gave that Cyclops those terrible single jointed jacket-arms again, and it is especially annoying because the upcoming AoA X-Man has the perfect arms for it.

I decided to stop by that Target anyway.  The guy says it’s in store but for some reason they can’t find the location.  Translation, employee is taking them.

Some people are using Retro White Storm for Gold Team.  I’ll put her in an animated X-Men display.

That was never an option for me.

Good price.

Holy crap that's a good price!  I don't see it anywhere on the website though.

So I’ve been rearranging my shelves and I might have a decent fix for the Jim Lee Colossus look.  The modern Colossus has gauntlets that sort of resemble the older one’s though the color and styling doesn’t match.  It might be a decent fit though.

 

I just double-checked images of the upcoming Colossus and the arms are exactly the same.  With a little bit of paint to match the color this solution should work alright.  To get it to match you'd probably want to sand down that little yellow bit at the front and putty in/smooth the yellow ribbing at the back.  Then take a dremel and make a few circular indents around the circumference and obviously paint match afterward.  Or just call it close enough.  lol

Well Dorkside screwed up.  Korg/Grand Master showed at the same time as Colossus/Juggernaut.  One I wasn’t in a rush for, the other I paid extra for faster shipping.  Somebody decided to lump both orders together and go with the slower shipping.

Marvel Select Colossus is only a little bit taller than Marvel Legends Colossus.  The torso, arms, and upper legs are around the same length.  The lower legs are longer.  Before I try converting Marvel Legends Colossus into Gold Team Colossus, I might try converting Marvel Select Colossus.  The X in the belt is in a rectangle at least.  With the parts of his costume that are removable on the Marvel Legends version, I think Hasbro will still release a variant Colossus though.

I just don't care about those two Spider-Man announcements.  The only positive thing from it is that White Rabbit's Costume comes dangerously close to Emma Frosts old school Costume.
