I haven't seen the Psyloke wave or any of the comic packs (Sinister/Gambit) & ( Adam Warlock/Thanos) anywhere near me, the only place for me is TRU and they haven't stocked any MU figures at all, i seen they do have one Shield Helicarrier, if it's still there, but that's it, sad part on my local TRU :-( , you guys are lucky to find them at retail.

You've never seen the Psylocke wave? That is all the 4 Targets, 4 Walmarts and 3 Toys R Us have around here.

Our TRU bypassed the whole Psylocke(I know, I was checking regularly every week for over three months) wave and just put out the current one, which disappeared in less than two days. All of it, gone. What was left was one set of that new 5 pack with the crystal clear Iceman and the green Jean, but the price was prohibitive.

I don't have any Target stores near me, the 2 closet ones are 45 to 50 minutes drive away, sadly my local Wal-Mart doesn't carry MU anymore, stupid move on their part.

I stopped in my local TRU today to find the TRU MU comic pack exclusives of Spidey/Rhino and Shattered Dimension Spidey/Silver/white Dr. Doom, so i grabbed the B&W Spidey comic pack. Still no new singles, same as a few months ago, Doc Samson, Capt. Marvel and i think a Spider woman.

All Houston seems to want to stock are Gladiators and Namors.

Finally found the "correctly" colored Sentinel at TJ Maxx.
Also got a Hulk/1st appearance Wolvie, I like his colors better.

I got a big box of joy from BBTS yesterday that had my Green Giant / Devastator and my next two waves of MU.
I really like them, but each one has little things about them that kind of bug me.

Kraven's lack of thigh swivels, BRB's shoulder armor molded to the cape, my Beast has a pretty sloppy paint job and I wish he was a darker blue, She-Hulk's "white" parts of her uniform are heavily sprayed with a blue-ish grey shading, Punisher has too heavy of a grey wash on his white parts, Kang is missing the lines that run down his face (nothing molded or even painted for them). Like I said, mostly little things, and overall I really like the figures.

The biggest issue I had was with Scarlet Witch. I thought she was suppose to be using a new female sculpt, but she is just the X-23 / Jubilee body with a few new parts, like her thighs. I would've preferred the old female buck to the "little girl" mold. I had to trim her shins which were ridiculously long, and her cape which was also way too long. I got her to a point where I am ok with her, but I was really disapponinted with her when I opened her up.

I really hope Medusa and Rogue aren't using the "little girl" mold too. :-/

Found the Collossus/ Juggy pack today. Passed because Collossus is grey. Just looks off.

I'm pretty sure Medusa is.

Yikes about Scarlet Witch.... I pretty much hate the X-23 mold and its terrible legs. I knew Scarlet Witch was on that mold but I was hoping she'd have different legs what with the thigh boots.

It looks like she has new thighs, feet with high heels, head, and hands. Other than that I'm pretty sure it's all X-23 / Jubilee.
Her new thighs actually make the leg issue a little worse. They look like they are shorter than the X-23 thighs, but her shins are still the same horribly long ones from X-23, which the high heels make even worse. Usually when you bend a person's legs at the knee, their heel comes to up to about their butt. Scarlet Witch can nearly kick herself in the shoulder blades. Combine the height that her legs give her with the really tiny "little girl" body, and a full size head that looks like it belongs on the original female buck, and she looks a bit odd, proportion-wise.

Her legs are really a mess right out of the package, but they are fixable, which is good because I really am happy to finally have her on the shelf with Pietro and Magneto.

I think originally Scarlet Witch was supposed to be the original body but some many people complained about the female bodies they swapped her to the new body. All the have to do is make new shorter calf pieces.

:/ From the point she was first shown she was definitely NOT on the original female mold.

Is there anywhere we can see clearly the new Scarlet Witch? I'd be interested in seeing the differences in the make up of her.

I salvaged the X-23 mold by just using the legs from the first original female mold. The narrow thigh/hip top moves much better than her original legs, and you can still get great poses from the older legs without needing to augment the hip holes or trimming the outside buttocks.
