I've been thinking about the same thing. Beyond paying bloated prices on Ebay or BBTS, I'm not sure how to get them. I've been trying to make contacts with collectors in the US. Maybe one of them will be willing to get some for me. This is when having friends in the US would be a good thing.

Did any other more of my Canadian friends subscribe to Marvel digital comics and order the Nick Fury figure? If so, have your cheques been cashed yet? Still waiting to see mine go through and it has been about two weeks now. I imagine it has arrived but the may just stockpile them for awhile.

On a side note, I am enjoying the digital comics. I try to read a few each night and it seems to be turning out to be a pretty good deal. I doubt I will renew though - not that good of a deal - but for a one time thing I am getting to read quite a few comics I would not have otherwise!

I don't care if that Bucky-Cap is a rehash of the DD mold, I want that figure. Then again, Walmart here won't stock these probably.


EDIT: Apparently, there will be two Spider-Man figures in Wave 5. The red/black one that was in that link, and a red/dark navy blue one, which will come hanging upside down! Almost forgot that.

Yeah, it's the same thing with the Blob/Sabretooth. No articulation on Blob because he is launcher. Same with Colossus.

However, that hopefully means we will get actual figures down the line.

Definitely no articulation on Blob. His arms go up, and swing down. That's about it. He can't even hold his arms up. I thought there might be a locking mechanism or something, or a trigger, but his arms just flop back down right away.

Sabertooth is pretty cool. Kinda big, but he's sort of supposed to be so it's okay. Great articulation. Even his head has a pretty good range of movement. He's just a big old monster.

That's the way he should be. However I really want the version with Logan and his motorcycle that has never shown up here in Canada. It has the more accurate short hair for the Jim Lee costume.

The only problem with that is then your stuck with Logan on a motorcycle.

I don't have a Logan yet and the motorcycle would be easy to use, or customize. So I could live with it.

Sabertooth is pretty tall. He's as tall as the MU Hulk. He's a hefty figure too. Solid. But that just may be due to his larger size. The Blob is basically a shell. He's bigger than Sabertooth, but almost half the weight. You can tell he's hollow inside.

Yeah, the version with the short hair never showed up here. I would have preferred that, but this will do. I don't think I'll rebuy him if the short haired version shows up here. Instead, we got logan and his bike seperately. Honestly, that logan version is pretty weak. His face sculpt is kinda lame and it just looks wierd with his claws out on his motorcycle. I dunno. Just my opinion.
