YEah, I happened to get really lucky last nigt and found BOTH Cyclops and shirtless Wolverine at WM. Cyclops is really nice. The action feature kinda sucks, but its ok. He does fit really nice with the rest of my X-Men
But Wolverine ranks as one of my new favorites. He's much smaller than the ML3 one, which makes him actually more in scale. He's a bit leaner, too. He has a spring waist action feature, but it doesnt get in the way of his posability-you just cant pose him at the waist, but the way his mold is, you wouldnt do that anyway.
The also had the new Hulk Classics, and I think I might pick up the Banner/Hulk one. Banner is NOT in scale with any ML figs, but the Hulk is MASSIVE. The Battle HUlk was silly looking, and Mecha Hulk was just odd.
Damn if I can find Blade, though. TRU has gotten maybe 2 shipments and Target has gotten one. No WM has gotten any yet, but they all must have gotten more ML3 OR just had a bunch still in the back. I have a hunch 5 is just sitting until they have shelf space(which will be forever if they leave all those Punisher and Beast figs on the pegs)

Speaking of unbelievable finds (but no purchases), I was at KB just after they totally re-stocked, and I found:
ML - 4 or 5 Hulk w/shirt, 8 or 9 Human Torch, 5 Things, 3 Sabretooths, 6 Blades, and many Mister F., Gambits, Elektras, Beasts, and Capt. Americas.
Hulk Classics - Smart Hulk, Savage Hulk, Mr. Fix-it
Then at Target, I found all of X-Men Classics, Hulk Classics Gamma Punch Hulk w/ Bruce Banner, Mecha Hulk, Absorbing Man, and War Hulk.
I really wish those who are looking for these would have been there, because I am not collecting any of the aforementioned.

you want to go get that absorbing man for me? I'm good for it **edit kauz I kant typ I can go back tonight (3/18) and see if it is still there. Not a very good looking figure, IMO. But I'll PM you when/if I go back. I was tempted to buy Archangel and Mecha Hulk, but I can't afford to pick up another collection  . |

I saw HC2 at Target tonight. Man, those suck. I can't believe those are outselling XMC.
Mecha Hulk is a ridiculous idea. You're officially out of ideas when you make "Robot Fill-in-the blank."
War Hulk? Anybody remembering this happening? I do, but I'm kind of a hardcore comic geek, so that doesn't count.
The Hulk/Banner pack is decent, but just becuase the Hulk is based off of Art Adams artwork. It's a great standard Hulk, but the Banner sucks, and is no reason to buy the pack.
Absorbing Man... Oh wait, that was sold already. I FREAKIN" WORK AT TARGET AND I CAN"T FIND THE DAMN SHORT-PACKED VILLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God, same thing happened with Abomination. I can find every stupid variant of the Hulk but not the one good fig from the line.
How would anyone think 5 Hulk variants and a villain would outsell the X-men? I bought 4 out of XMC and have yet to buy a HC.
Did anyone else but the "slashing" Wolvering (tiger stripes) from XMC? That's a great figure, IMO. It needed double-jointed knees, though. I like that it's shorter, and they package the claws so they don't get horrible bent. That's the first Wolverine I've ever gotten with perfectly straight claws.
What's the XMC shelf-warmer(s) in your area? The only one that doesn't sell here is Gambit.
End mindless rant.

Looks like HC 2 is shipping in mixed cases with XMC, much like HC 1 did. I have no interest in the second series besides Absorbing Man. I hope the line didn't peak with Savage and Smart Hulk.
War Hulk was one of Apocalypse's 4 Horsemen, along with Tully Blanchard , Paul Roma, and Wolverine.

Supposedly Robot Hulk was in the comics, created by...Gremlin, I think, but I'm not guaranteeing it. Personally, I'll be picking up all of HC2 except Gamma, and all of HC1.

Mecha Hulk is an original creation for this line. The Gremlin that comes with him, is a classic Hulk villain.

I mean-its ALL you see on a shelf. I have to ask what is up with toy companies overpacking one fig (or the He-Man syndrome)? The shirtless Wolverine was packed so his claws would be fairly straight, too(save for a little bend-why are these NOT harder plastic?), which is why he's on display now instead of the XML Wolverine with horrible deformed claws. Hopefully the more packed Blade will show up soon. I need him and Sabertooth(all the ones I find have awful paint jobs) |

I went to KB Toys today, and picked up Captain America and Thing re-issues for $5.99 each. My friend took the last Savage Hulk from HC.

Nice purchase KAM. I am thinking of getting the XMC Cyclops. I've seen it at TRU, but passed it up multiple times. I think I might pick it up next weekend.

Soon you're going to regret not picking it up, Rad. I saw Cyclops one time, bought it, and now it's all Gambits. Sad, but true.
The poseability is fantastic on this figure. I love it.
