I think he used the boiling water method to get it off. Perused Hisstank, saw what you were talking about. Never been there before, a lot more tinklebobs than this forum...Is it just a Johnny Storm head? Looks like it, makes sense if the bag wasn't supposed to come off. I'm pretty stoked about the next wave of figures, I hope they hit soon. Thanks for the heads up and I quite enjoyed the tinklebobs. You're quite welcome. I'm relatively certain I'm responsible for some of those tinklebobs.

Great web detail, decent poseability, and he's a little smaller than MU Spideys have been, which I appreciate, as Spidey's not a big guy compared to Cap, Thor, etc. He also has a very nice clean red/blue coloring with hardly any distracting wash, which keeps his colors clear and strong. Yeah, there's something about the figure that I like, just didn't get the hype, also wasn't that big a fan of the movie. I'm not talking about the movie figure. I'm talking the two-year-old super-poseable figure.

Got my Beta fing Ray Bill and Beast today. Beast is the wrong version but they did a good job on him. The extra articulation in the foot is nice but I don't really see how it helps anything. Paint apps and the joints are good. The goofy pose they put him in warped his right leg a little though. Some time on a stand might cure it. Also, does cat beast have only 4 fingers in the comics? I've never noticed. The figure does in any event. Now for Bill. Outside of the awesomeness of just being Bill, he's a pretty good figure I think. He's a little shorter than I thought he should be though. For instance he's just slightly shorter than Modern Thor. For some reason I was thinking he should be a bit bigger. Also his shoulder pads are part of his cape. And it pops off a little too easily. But those are my only complaints. Really good joints and good paint apps here too. Stormbreaker is a bit larger than Mjolin%^(#&#&.....Thors hammer. But the best thing about him is his head. I may be common knowledge, but it floored me to find out he has an articulated jaw . Yep, bill can open his mouth. I can fit Zemos head in it.  It doesn't really add anything, but it's a really nice touch that I appreciate.

I saw the X-Factor set at TRU yesterday. I thought that was just a SDCC thing, was I mistaken?

Nah, it was only ever an SDCC-first thing. They're all over my TRUs too, and last I checked they were once again available on the website.

I never delved in the Marvel universe threads over there-- and at 14,000 pages of Posts-- I think I know why. My biggest problem with Hisstank- is I wish they would shrink some of the sigs on that page, and everyone there likes to quote the pages with the pictures with a two word response-- (I mean Cal-- your pictures are like on there 25 times in a row-- you think people could just respond every now and them- instead of 7 sets of your pictures-- with nice haul posted by 7 different people..)

I agree with that. Whenever I'm quoting a post that's particularly pic heavy, I'll usually just *snip* and add my commentary. But we do have a ton of fun over there in the MU thread. You have to be really dedicated to keep up, as it tends to move at light speed at times.

nice haul there alcinde4. I received wave 19 from amoktimetoys yesterday from ebay. I'm still waiting for impulescreations to get in their wave 18. The price from amoktime wasn't bad at around $11.60 per figure. I will post some pics later today.

I didn't know they had an eBay store. Several people I know got their wave 19 orders in from them already, so I guess they're pretty reputable.

Got 2 of each of wave 18 and 19 online except SW and the Spiderman variants from IC. Lots still up on the site. New 2 packs are up as well but I passed on all of them.
