It’s not a contest, however my thoughts does have a tendency to judge who “received” Pulse Con yearly, which means, which model that I comply with confirmed me essentially the most stuff that wowed me. I feel for the primary time since these began G.I. Joe Labeled didn’t win it for me because the Marvel Group was talking my language with the Secret Wars releases.
They did begin off with one thing I don’t notably have a connection to, the Spider-Man animated two-pack o Vulture and Spidey, however there are some issues to suggest in that set for certain. I particularly just like the very traditional feeling head for Spider-Man and the collapsed masks and the Vulture design is so completely different from the common comedian model that I’m acquainted with, so it’s somewhat extra attention-grabbing than these often are for me.
I feel I’ve a brown costume Logan that I’m fairly pleased with, however the masks form and the smirk is promoting me on this take.
The Spider-Man is predicated on the Wonderful Fantasy determine and I really like the extra lithe and fewer muscular base physique for the character. It’s additionally nice to get the squinty eyes although I do want the eyes on the principle head have been extra just like the character artwork on the lenticular defend.
The Cap hits that precise blue I’m in search of in him, however hardly ever ever get, so I don’t thoughts the double dip on this base physique. The brand new heads are fairly nice too. Whereas I recognize the reference to Cap’s Defend being destroyed within the e book, it’s type of ironic that they launched two traditional Caps just lately and not using a defend. I do have a ton of Cap shields, however I’d actually like one the dimensions and paint scheme of the twentieth anniversary determine with out the harm.
It seems like simply the opposite day I used to be asking for curler skate equipment for the various Iron Males I personal, so I used to be so stoked to see them on this, my favourite model of Iron Man. I nonetheless have vivid reminiscences of getting this determine as a child, so this one is hitting me particularly laborious within the nostalgia with that lenticular defend and the traditional gun, so laborious that I don’t actually thoughts shopping for it for a third time. I by no means actually used that gun with Iron Man as a child, so I’ll be giving it to Kang for certain.
As a lot as love the re-dos of the classics, the spotlight of this present have been the brand new characters. Titania feels means overdue and presentation actually works for me. Even the artwork on the lenticular defend seems like Mike Zeck and matches proper in with the outdated line.
I could have grown up taking part in with the Secret Wars figures, however I didn’t actually learn that first miniseries till afterward. My first Secret Warfare was II so I’ve a gentle spot for soar go well with Beyonder. He’s one of many cheesier character designs that I really like and by no means actually anticipated to get in determine type. Reveals like that may make a present for me. It was additionally actually enjoyable seeing these card backs. I’m not usually a carded man, however I would want a minimum of a carded Iron Man.
They apparently confirmed off the ROM check shot within the pre-show, however I by no means received the hyperlink to that so I missed it. Whump whump. I do steer clear of the rumors for Legends so whereas I had heard rumblings of a Secret Wars wave, I knew no specifics so outdoors of Wolverine these have been good surprises. Total I felt like this Pulse Con had fewer reveals on common per model, however this wave was hit after hit with me so Hasbro handily received the present. Not that it’s a contest.
