I guess those variant Electros must be in revision cases like the other variants. Good thing I still don't have Electro.

Gah! It burns!

Step 1: Go to WalMart
Step 2: Take the pack to a secluded aisle.
Step 3: ?????????
Step 4: PROFIT!

I grabbed two Cables the other day. Might use the extra head for my Road Pig custom.

Actually found the Electro variant today with the translucent forearms. Picked him and Contrictor up, first time I've seen him at Walmart but had them match the 2 for $12.99 deal at TRU. If anyone wants the Electro, I'm more than willing to part with him. Especially if someone were to offer a General Hawk or Snake Eyes with the Slice mask from a few waves ago. The cashier bent the card when she bagged it.

It was a very odd revision case or something. Had Constrictor, Electro, Thing, old Hulk, WWHulk, Dr. Strange, Darkhawk, Scarlet Spider. None of these were previously there. It was odd.

I got the walmart multipack today (not for me...for one of those Tree of Sharing charity things). I can't open it, of course, but it looks like pretty great versions of the characters. It was stocked far away from the other MU stuff, along with some Transformers and Clone War multipacks.

Yep variants at Family Dollar!

Some new pics here...

They should show up soon too.
Adam Warlock comes with the same gauntlet that Dr. Doom subscription figure has. So one could just make their own custom maskless Doom.

Damn that Mister Sinister looks sweet. One of my favorite villains as a kid.

I like Mr. Sinister too, though I don't care much for the name. I always find myself calling him Essex (his actual last name).

I don't know. I've always liked when Sinister was drawn more athletic than hulking and that Colossus body just looks too bulky. Maybe its the dark blue color and the angle of the picture. I'll wait to see in hand pictures before deciding whether to track it down or not. Would sure make a nice companion figure to Apocalypse on my shelf...

I wish I could be sure Sinister had a new head. Even if it is new it's just too wide to really pull off the character. I know they save a bunch of money this way, but I also prefer the more lithe look for the character.

I got the Sinister/AoA Gambit pack today. Sinister's head is new. It's wider than Colossus' especially with the sides of the flat top flaring out.

The comic interior is actually from Gambit Origins and not X-Men 1.

The Psylocke/Storm wave is also out locally.
