custom BOX figure.

[DIGGER]

I had bid on that particular item but didn't win it... so I'm doing my own version but with a Thor Destroyer figure.

[after3]

It feels unreal looking at a BOX figure. Almost like it's too good to be true.

[Phil]

Check out http://alphaflight.net/content.php?590-NY-Toyfair-2012-Diamond-Select-Box-Vindicator then. Not quite a figure, but the best there is officially.

[Le Messor]

Yeah, I've been wanting them! :D Are they available yet? (I'll have to check toy stores if so.)

They were out last October but were a Toys R Us exclusive in the States.
I had to get mine imported in.

[Le Messor]

I'll have to eBay them, then.

[-K-M-]

Yeah I ordered mine through eBay

I'm pretty desperate to get my hand on the lot of those. the first series included.

[-K-M-]

I got series 1 and 2, plus the Toy R' Us Special all through eBay.

That video is hysterical. Love the part where he looks up at Sas. Gold! Thanks for the video link!

glenn webb reviews the Puck build a figure.

Wait, is that available now?
I just ordered my Minimates this morning (yes, nearly a full week after I'd planned to)... Now I've got to track those down somehow.

I like the review. I noticed the head being too small just before the vid mentioned it; I also thought the P was wrong; the loop was too short, and the stem very stretched, and the whole thing too thin. (Don't think of that as a whinge, please; just a detail I noticed. I don't care about it! I just observed it.)

It is, still a good sculpt.

I also liked the reviewer imitating Cyclops by use of a banana.

In the comment section, he reveals that he obtained them 'early' by picking them up off ebay from HK.

They aren't out yet in the US.

Ah, okay. *Phew*.

That's usually a good thing. A quick check on eBay shows only Emma Frost available, which he also reviewed. But more will surface over the next few days.

I'm still wondering how they make a BAF (build a figure) out of 4 parts - one is the torso as you can see from the Emma Frost package up for sale on ebay.... so , does that mean the other 3 are (2 legs) (2 arms) (head) and how awesome will just a little Puck head look in the blister pak!??!

[Le Messor]

:) I had hoped the review would show him putting it together.
I did notice he only showed three of the actual figures with the BaF.

(Oh, and those earlier big ones look awesome next to Puck!)

[after3]

That's exactly how it woks check out the sabertooth review for an awesome shot of sabertooth holding pucks head in his hand.

As shown here (http://alphaflight.net/showthread.php?8589-Article-Toyfair-2013-Wolverine-Legends-with-Build-A-Figure-Puck&p=91779&viewfull=1#post91779):
Emma Frost/Rogue - Torso & Legs
Sabretooth - Head
Cyclops - Arms

EDIT: Never noticed the 'Tales Of Puck' part... I may have to actually open the packaging on these...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtMdcb7EoRU shows the Tales Of Puck part at the 2 min mark.

A nice little plug for Puck related issues.

[Le Messor]

Awesome! Thanks, Phil!
Also, that means I'll only have to buy three. This pleases me. (I had thought four.)

[rplass]

Is the Rogue figure canceled or still being released?

[Phil]

Rogue & Emma Frost are interchangeable ala the packaging here (http://alphaflight.net/showthread.php?8589-Article-Toyfair-2013-Wolverine-Legends-with-Build-A-Figure-Puck&p=91770&viewfull=1#post91770) so you can get Puck's torso & head with Rogue instead of Emma if you want. Which I'm guessing you do ;)

[rplass]

Right but are they releasing both the Emma and Rogue figures?

[Phil]

Yes, but with the same packaging as 'Manipulators Of Memory'

[rplass]

I'm not 100% up on Rogue's powers, but her basic power set doesn't include memory manipulation, does it? Maybe they are assuming if she spends some time in the Emma Frost packaging that she'll pick up the Emma Frost powers? :)

There are SO many ways I could run with this, but in an effort to keep this G-Rated, I won't.

Lol - do you mean because of http://alphaflightcollector.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/rogues-boobs-in-x-men-legacy-244-oh-and-jeffries-too-whatever/ ? lol

[Le Messor]

Her basic set? Technically, no... but she does take memories along with powers, so I think they can have this one. At a stretch.
(Remember, Reed Richards is their character.)
