Toy Collecting World Buzzing
June 24, 2009We’ve seen the tons and tons and tons of Transformers toys piling up inside the toy stores, and kids, collectors and people with learning disabilities are all enjoying the abundance of transforming action figure goodness. Because of the high supply, prices are sure to drop and vulture-like scoundrels come in for the kill. Not for all figures, though. For sure, there’ll be one or two figs that everyone will want immediately. That’s kinda the way I feel about all the upcoming releases from Hasbro.
We’ve got the Marvel Universe line, which I’m currently into, as I’m slowly being more selective of the ML figs that I collect. Really, I only want a Human Torch and Sue Richards ML and I’ll be fine. We also have Marvel Legends announcements! Huzzah!
For the MU line, we’ve got Wave 5, which has a repainted Wave 1 Iron Man to look like the Silver Centurion, Namor (or at least, I thought he’d be in), Guardian and two (YES, TWO!) Spider-Man repaints using the same chubby body and the same goddamn accessory. He was given a black and red costume and a darker, more pastel red and blue color. Why? Because FUCK YOU, that’s why.
Wave 5 = Repaint Wave.
