I, of course, have loved everything I've read so far. I've been too busy to chime in on the Cyclops and Iceman reviews, plus I don't own or even saw those figures in person to comment. I don't even plan on buying many more of them (until we get more news), but reading about them helps me decide which ones would be worth my time and which I can ignore. So unless you sugar-coat every figure's review and tempt me to buy them all, heh, I'm cool with everything as-is.

Only downside is it makes me regret not being able to collect these even more. I got the comic Deadpool figure and it was fantastic...if only it wasn't for the DC Universe line i'd be collecting these so hard.

I think I only have 2 more figures to review for the Origins line. So expect those sometime soon. The sale at my Walmart ended this weekend, so I can't justify buying any of the other figures from the line that I didn't care much for anyway. If they hit clearance again I may pick more of them up. However I have been thinking of picking up the Sabretooth variant when it hits shelves as well as possible others. Seems Hasbro will drag this line out a little further, at least till the end of the year, as I think they have more to show at the SDCC.
So if I do review any new stuff it will be from the Marvel Universe line, which I have plenty of already. I also read that both Iceman and Cyclops will be hitting this series as well, which means new sculpts and different articulation to poke fun at! Something to surely look forward to.
You know Scummy, I would have gotten into the DCUC line myself, but the scale hurts my shelf space, especially since it's clogged up with my Sota Street Fighter Collection. So I don't really have space to get into larger scale lines right now. This new scale just fits nicely.

It's a minor thing, but it would make the reviews easier to read.

I liked it, but I would like one improvement - smaller pictures. With the pictures being too wide, you have to scroll over to read all the text. Could you just upload the pictures to the site?

Thanks Veers! I was wondering how the pics may appear to everyone else, I don't have a problem with them on my screen since I have a widescreen monitor, so Yeah! I will definitely try to make the pictures smaller and more manageable for others. And I may add a link to the page for people with slow load times so they can just skip straight to the Photo collection thumbnails.
I really am not fond of uploading my pics to the board, as I have had problems with it. But I think a simple resizing will do just fine. I'll try to get to work on that before I post anything else.
That's what I put that Option in for on the poll.
Oh God. Please no. Do we really, REALLY need another Cyclops and Iceman? There were already two in the first waves of Wolverine and the X-Men. Then we got the rather awesome ones in the X-Men Origins line. I know there's plenty of other costume variations we can get, but we really don't need more of them so soon!
I kind of agree, but I am looking forward to seeing the differences in the sculpts and articulation. The Iceman is planned for a Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends 3 pack containing Spiderman, Iceman, and Firestar. It's going to become common in this line I think for Hasbro to pack old sculpts with new sculpts in their multipacks. With their current release roster we are looking at multiple waisted slots going to reused figures.
I'll probably have 5 Spidermans by the end of the year. But the test shots of the first 3 Secret Wars 2 packs I've seen look amazing. 12 issues equals 24 characters from the mini series. With only 38 characters I can think of from the supporting cast, 14 won't make it I guess.

Would you guys prefer Less Dialog? Perhaps instead of my 8 point review for figures with comments discussing each point, would it be easier to just have a commentary type paragraph followed by my ratings of each point? With maybe a small comment below each rating.
Just trying to figure out something new, that isn't so hard on either of us. Mostly trying to meet somewhere in the middle with detailed commentary and the classic "I like this toy cause it's cool shtick"
Hope that makes sense.
