Too long. I need Beta Ray Bill and Ultimate Spidey(s).

Nice review sci- I dig warlock but would give him an 8/10- that weak ass Infinity Gauntlet takes 2 points away. Great great figure but if you're going to include an accessory like the IG make it a removable hand ( a la Thanos) instead of that cheap clip on stuff. would have easily made him a perfect 10 if they had got his accessory right. If they hadn't included it at all I would have given him a 9 just based on how cool the figure is (but lost a point for not having the IG) But including it and not doing it right is worse than just not including it at all.

Adam warlock is my favorite cp yet. Love the colors.

So I opened up the Adam Warlock/Thanos comic pack.... and it's bloody awesome! Yes! Thanos is a great improvement (thought the last isn't bad). He's still slightly off, because his upper lip does not have the wrinkles in it in the comics. I can overlook that because he looks great, and menacing.
Adam Warlock is superb. This is exactly what the ML version should have been like. This is where a perfect example of where MU outdoes ML. It goes to show Hasbro has the ability to put the same amount of detail into MU and they do ML. Now, I love both lines, but the one thing MU has going for it is the better bodies. Even the Black Spiderman body is better than the worst ML body. Back to Adam Warlock though. The body choice, the accessories, the head sculpt, the paint work, it's all great. 10/10. The only thing that bothers me is the Infinity Gaunlet is a tad loose, and you can still see his hand underneath in almost every pose. It's pretty cool looking regardless though. His staff is really cool, and so is his cape. The paint work on both is beyond what I expected. I love the red of his uniform, and the way they did his hair as well. So yeah, there is my on topic post. This pack is the clear winner out the two in this wave. Even though Gambit has excellent new head sculpt, his Wolverine Origins body takes him down a couple marks, and Sinisters flawed cape and cast skin vs painted face takes him down a mark too in my mind. Now as silly as it would have been, Adam Warlock packaged with Sinister would have been an insanely cool pack, they are two of the coolest MU figures yet.

The colors really make the figure. Adam Warlock is a perfect example of what great paint and accessories can do for an otherwise simple design.

I agree guys, but I'm so biased when it comes to Adam Warlock I don't even give the gaunlet another thought. Adam Warlock is one of my childhood favorites, so he was an easy 10/10. If Hasbro gave him another shot in ML I hope that'd use this same sculpt as the basis for him, I can't believe in just a few years we've gotten two Adam Warocks and only one is a keeper.

Keep in mind that not only will passes open back up, but people cancel all the time which allows others to go. Hell, the last week or so you'll usually see a lot of single day and weekend passes pop up. So not all is lost if you didn't get what you were aimming for just yet.
