Finally! Finally! I haven't been buying any new figures for the past month and I'm glad that these are now available for pre-order at BigBadToyStore. I do love the assortment and the characters they included in these two respective waves. Check out the video below to check what's included in the assortment.
(Oh, Hasbro -- where's the Jubilee wave?)
At long last it’s finally here! The Invincible Iron Man Heroclix set! I’ve been counting the days of November until the November 20 release date and I have to say, Wizkids made up for the quality control issues so pervasive in their last Heroclix set, Wolverine and the X-Men. I got my hands on two bricks of boosters, excited by the online feedback from people in Heroclix forums as well as unboxing videos on Youtube.
The booster pack artwork is spiffy. I've always thought that Adi Granov is the definitive cover artist of the hero. The artwork on the back teases the upcoming Avengers Vs. Xmen Heroclix event months.
Here's a quick run through of the rarer figures I got in my case, just so you can gauge the collation of each brick.

Release your inner Senshi and get your Sailor Moon on with this new Sailor Moon Moon Stick!
Tamashii Nations recently announced that Bandai is introducing a new line of prop replicas for the collector market. And the first to get this treatment will be Sailor Moon's magical Moon Stick. The 1:1 highly detailed wand will be part of their PROPLICA LINE and features LED lights, a sound recording and the Holy Silver Crystal. A previous Moon Stick release in the 90's didn't have the crystal.
When the rumors about the rebranding and revamping of the famous toy line, Marvel Legends, came up and spread like wildfire, a lot was skeptical about it and all. Among those who doubted the future of the line was me. I won't expound upon what may or will happen to the line but one thing's for sure, it will continue.
Just a few months after the announcement, Hasbro released a few more set of characters that is bound to be released next year.

Again, another surprising (Really? Still surprised?) Marvel Select figure popped up at 168 Mall. Since I'm just a few blocks away from the mall, I dropped by and checked it out. Being curious, I bought one for myself a Mint on Card Marvel Select Venom. A few months ago, I posted a video about bootleg figures of popular action figures. I believe, my first Bootleg/Overrun video was about the pricey BAF Red Hulk. The figure has obvious flaws and some problems all over but there are some that are tolerable and go for a discounted price! Then a few months later, the BAF Iron Monger appeared and the Bootleg Marvel Select Iron Man (overkilled with different designs) followed.
Just a few days ago, Marvel Select Venom and Rhino popped up. I didn't get Rhino since I don't see a point in having 2 Rhinos. Venom is a good addition, though, since I want one for my "Venom Overload" display. Each was sold at Php1000.00 but I'm not sure if they already jacked it up.

Finally! Finally! Finally! Got the variant Deadpool from Return of Marvel Legends Wave 3! Now that I have it, well, I have to say it's just the same as the old one from the Hasbro Marvel Legends 2-Pack. Oh, if you guys were there during the release of the Hasbro Marvel Legends 2-Pack and MU figs, ugh, that was a grueling but fun wait! Me and Bim were there! Anyway, I'd love to discuss who Deadpool is but pretty much everyone knows him now; he's almost everywhere in the comics lately.
A lot asked about how I was able to get it and a lot knows it all popped at UK gradually. Shout out to my friend, Raymond Zheng for assisting me on this one, I really appreciate it! He was able to snag one from UK.

Wizkids has been prolific lately. Just 9 months into the Heroclix hobby, the company has released sets for a total of 11 different franchises spanning Marvel, DC, and other video game/movie/TV universes. And the gameplay is refined so the game is always fresh. Like any other hobby, it’s painful on the wallet. And if you’re the type that likes to collect everything, then just be ready to spend a lot of your hard-earned cash. I just stick to the Marvel sets with the occasional exception for movies or franchises I really like.
Whether you’re looking to get into the game or are a seasoned vet, Starter Sets are still a better purchase instead of the leaner Fast Forces packages just because of all the extra stuff you get.
