Does a clear picture exist of the translucent mask version? I saw a tiny blurry one on mn, but nothing definitive. I question f it exists.

Since no one else has done it, I will give my feedback to all of the new card art...
Wanda - Beautiful image. Stunning. Even the insert card is nice. I might have to get two of her now to get put the extra card on Quick Silver's figure stand. She-Hulk - Awesome. We have all mentioned it before, but that face looks nice in the art. The green and white contrast one another so well. Who doesn't like a chick in white who is spreading like that? Kang- Nice gun accessory. Not really feeling the image though. When I think of Kang, I do not think of someone crouched down getting ready for a seek attack. I think of Kang as a confident, patient person. I would have preferred him standing from the waist up. Disliking the insert card. I think the art for those should be the best there is to offer, not a comic cover. Punisher - wow, 4 accessories that has to be some sort of MU record right? The card art is ok, but this time, I do not need a crotch shot. Once again with the comic book cover for the insert...ehh. Has Punisher always had that wavey, flip peice to his hair? BRB - Already mentioned way back, but this card art is cetainly great. Captures a nice pose and nice colors. Kraven - Holy cheek bone definition. The face looks semi creepy, but the figures looks nice with all of those accessories. Hulk - Hags and Al were commenting on it earlier and I agree with them. Not the best image in the world. Not as intimidating as the figure. Nice insert image though. There you go...for whatever that was worth. One more thing to note, isn't it interesting how our eyes have totally become accustomed to the larger font on the names already? Quote:

The "first" three waves of this year really are spectacular, and just show how far this line has come. The paint deco on Kang is exceptional, I love the metallic purple and the shades chosen overall. Same with Beta Ray Bill, the metallic blue really makes the figure pop. I can see BRB, Kang, and Adam Warlock together right now, with there metallic paint jobs, what a funking Cosmic force to be reckoned with.
Punisher, She Hulk, and Scarlet Witch are great. Finally a nice Punisher! You can never have too many Ladies, especially gives us another new female body (I never noticed those double jointed elbows before! Winning!). Kraven will need some work b/c they gave him that funky red eye, but he's great as well. I love getting Spidey characters. And Beast, man Beast is the epitome of what this line can do when the effort is there, what a beaut. Quote:
Doh! I really love the way Hot Toys look, I just can't ever rationalize the price. I'd rather buy more Bowen statues. |

Well, I guess that's the other side of the argument: maybe Hasbro never releases anything bad ever ...
I mean why else would I have Mole Pods, Artic Destros, POC Rock Vipers, and ROC Rip-attack vehicles? Maybe it's the long wait over new Joe and MU, or the $5 gas at the pump, but I think the kool-aid is beginning to wear off. Just not before I purchased the afore-mention Avengers toys. I know I can return most of them, but, I am not rushing back to the store either. IT'S NOT NATURAL See? |

Is there a real reason why these con sets are so expensive? I just want the OG, and I'd gladly take a bagged set. But even those are too much, even for attendees. I'm just trying to understand the why is all.

Smaller runs make for higher costs on top of the Club's ego for the "exclusive" it is. Plus they shove con costs into the packages. Same reason you're forced to buy a box set before you can buy the only somewhat cheaper bagged set. It's all to get more money out of you because you can't go anywhere else except Hasbro who "isn't interested" in releasing these figures (or so we're told.)
