Finally found a 2nd Crimson Hiss at Leominster TrU so I'm all set on those now(still looking for 1 or 2 black ones though). Anyone want me to keep an eye out for crimson ones in my travels?

There is also some gold band across the waist present, the old one looks more plain. And this fig was one of my favorites from the MU line.Darker purple coloring to the face and red eyes also.

Great comparison shots, thanks for posting the pics!!!!

Good times hunting/browsing/talking with BEAM tonight in Attleboro, and special thanks to him for hooking me up with the ENTIRE wave 3 & wave 4 revision case from his Walmart recon trip! That's almost everything I needed (minus Storm Shadow). Also got 2 more Techno-vipers and 2 more Renegades Cobra troopers at Toy Vault in the mall with a 20% off discount from my friends that work there.

See? I told you I wouldn't have to get anything online ;) Thanks again, BEAM.

Shadowninja and I are still on the hunt for more.

Shit that Thanos looks amazing. Good thing I already have the single-carded release.

Hey, did Warlock ever get released before on a single card?

Nope, just as a 2 pack. Warlock alone is worth the purchase, the new Thanos is icing on the cake

Nope, not yet. I'll find him eventually though...

They should just make a case of nothing but storm shadow. I'd rather see a great figure like his clogging the pegs than all these renegades and arctic Destros. Those Destros. They just won't die.

Hmm maybe someone could make a good custom mr. freeze from his figure?

That would be utterly ridiculous and they would never sell out, no matter how "cool" the figure is. (I know you weren't being totally serious, but I just want to explain why this wouldn't work):

I know the figure looks great, has lots of cool accessories, etc, but the ONLY reason everyone is currently drooling over this Storm Shadow is that he is shortstacked (basically one per case), not included in the new revision case, and therefore "hard to find". Storm Shadow is an individual character, not a trooper or a soldier, and it wouldn't really make sense to put more than 2 per case maximum. Once everyone got their 1 or 2 figures, that would probably be it for buyers, unlike a techno viper or a shock trooper for example, which some people might buy 20 or 30 of (this is why the 30th wave 1 assortment worked so well- it was basically all troopers except for stalker). Look at POC wave 3 missile pack duke and arctic SS, those were 3 per case and I STILL see them swinging behind the wave 2 renegades junk in almost every TRU I go into.

Some argue that people would be buying tons of these SS figures if they were more plentiful to make "custom ninjas" (...?), but I think that's just wishful thinking. Again, I'm not saying they wouldn't sell well in the beginning, but like any individual character they'd probably wind up pegwarming eventually.
