It’s not a contest, however my thoughts does have a tendency to guage who “received” Pulse Con yearly, which means, which model that I observe confirmed me probably the most stuff that wowed me. I believe for the primary time since these began G.I. Joe Labeled didn’t win it for me because the Marvel Workforce 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 advocate in that set for positive. I particularly just like the very basic feeling head for Spider-Man and the collapsed masks and the Vulture design is so totally different from the common comedian model that I’m accustomed to, so it’s a little bit extra fascinating than these normally are for me.
I believe I’ve a brown costume Logan that I’m fairly proud of, however the masks form and the smirk is promoting me on this take.
The Spider-Man relies on the Wonderful Fantasy determine and I 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 primary head had been extra just like the character artwork on the lenticular protect.
The Cap hits that precise blue I’m on the lookout for in him, however not often 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 Protect being destroyed within the ebook, it’s sort of ironic that they launched two basic Caps just lately with out a protect. I do have a ton of Cap shields, however I’d actually like one the scale and paint scheme of the twentieth anniversary determine with out the injury.
It looks 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 protect and the basic 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 positive.
As a lot as love the re-dos of the classics, the spotlight of this present had been the brand new characters. Titania feels manner overdue and presentation actually works for me. Even the artwork on the lenticular protect looks like Mike Zeck and matches proper in with the outdated line.
I could have grown up enjoying with the Secret Wars figures, however I didn’t actually learn that first miniseries till in a while. My first Secret Warfare was II so I’ve a mushy spot for leap go well with Beyonder. He’s one of many cheesier character designs that I 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 at the least 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 keep away from the rumors for Legends so whereas I had heard rumblings of a Secret Wars wave, I knew no specifics so outdoors of Wolverine these had been good surprises. General 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.
