Vote for the New Hasbro Marvel Legends Figure And Win

Quick up-date. The micro Ant Man figure is being sold on Ebay for between $19-45. The other figures are taken from the packs and going for $65-100 and the case as shown below for $110-130. THAT is 'fan' greed.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Firstly, Hasbro is releasing these anyway.  Their greed and disdain for figure buyers as anything other than piggy banks to exploit for their "bucket" (of cash) items was proven at the San Diego Comic Con -and I hope you watched THAT video?

Oh, here are "your" choices":

Pick between Darkhawk, Angela, Symbiote Spider-Man and Mysterio!

The fans at San Diego Comic-Con have spoken. Sixteen Marvel Heroes were up to become the new Marvel Legends figure, but now only four remain! The champions are Darkhawk, Angela, Symbiote Spider-Man and Mysterio and now it is up to you to vote for your favorite and choose who becomes Hasbro’s next Marvel Legend!

The decision is in your hands. And to sweeten the deal, you could win a Hasbro SDCC 2015 Exclusive Ant-Man Figure Set signed by Stan Lee!

Yes, they took huge trailer trucks full of free figures for SDCC and had so many even that event was not big enough to throw them all away.  Seriously, That is how 'exclusive' they were.  I do see these freebies on Ebay with asking prices of anywhere from $25-$90.00.  Greed is contagious.
 
 Scale is mostly irrelevant when it comes to the size-shifting superhero, this set’s Hank Pym figure is in the 3.75″ Marvel Infinite scale and features swappable heads with and without the Ant-Man helmet. On the larger side of things, there’s both a 6″ Goliath and a 12″ Giant Man (the latter wearing the more recent comic book version of the costume) while, in a smaller scale, there’s both 1.5″ Scott Lang Ant-Man and a tiny 1″ version of the original Hank Pym Ant-Man costume. The 1.5" version is the one the money is being asked for NOT the larger figures.

Alex Ross Sneaks Superman Into Marvel Comic Cover

Well, according to IGN who seem to have no real story just a very blurry "something" that even when pointed out could be anything...including...well...anything.

Check it out: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/07/22/alex-ross-sneaks-superman-into-marvel-comic-cover

Of course, it could just be another way to con morons out of cash for ANOTHER "hot" comic -in a series that ain't selling that well? 

I'm a professional cynic but my heart ain't in it.

NEW Costumes For The Flash and Arrow..on TV of course!

More DC news so you know CBO isn't biased...meh.

Anyway, over to DC Comics news...

Change is coming to The Flash and it includes an update to Barry Allen’s signature suit. Best of all, we’ve got your first look at it. Check it out!

Fans might remember that Cisco commented on the Flash’s emblem in a key scene in Season One, so maybe it’s not so surprising to see it updated here. Of course, before there are any costume changes, Barry will first have to find a way out of the interdimensional vortex he created in the Season One finale. To see how he does that, we’ll have to wait until The Flash returns to The CW on Tuesday, October 6^th at 8 p.m. (7 p.m. CST).

Also, in case you missed it, Grant Gustin’s Flash isn’t the only #DCTV super hero sporting a new look next season. During San Diego Comic-Con, we were given our first look at Stephen Amell’s new Arrow costume as well.

In case you have not seen that...please, do NOT become overwhelmed, here it is:
 
I fell asleep. Who got a choc chip muffin??

Michael Chiklis Joins Gotham

News from DC Comics

Gotham’s newest cast member knows his way around a shield.

As announced this evening on TVLine, veteran actor Michael Chiklis will be joining Gotham as a series regular in the role of Captain Nathaniel Barnes.

Captain Barnes is an original character, but fortunately, the Gotham producers have provided an intriguing description. The GCPD’s new captain “lands on the GCPD like a tornado, ripping out the dead wood of Gotham’s police force. He is a law and order zealot; unafraid of making enemies – on either side of the law. For Gordon (Ben McKenzie), Barnes is a hero and a mentor, someone with whom he can share the burden of heroism. Captain Barnes proves himself to be a strong ally to Gordon… but one day he will make an equally powerful enemy.”

If you’ve seen Chiklis on The Shield or more recently on American Horror Story, you know that he’s a solid actor who can be an intimidating presence on screen. He not only has plenty of experience playing a cop, but has also dabbled in the world of super heroes on the show No Ordinary Family and in the original Fantastic Four movie and its sequel. In short, he’s absolutely perfect for a show like Gotham.

X-Men: Age of Apocalypse

 

Apparently, quite a few fan boys were annoyed at the "quality"of the images from Entertainment Weekly -I think they have drifted into a fantasy world where 3D flesh-and-blood like images are projected!

The film itself will consist of younger versions of the core X-Men team that includes actors Tye Sheridan as Scott Summers/Cyclops, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Alexandra Shipp as Ororo Munroe/Storm, Lana Condor as Jubilation Lee/Jubilee and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler.

"X-Men: Apocalypse" is directed by Bryan Singer from a screenplay written by Simon Kinberg.
The film is set to hit theaters on May 27, 2016.

This Is Just One Example Of The Numerous Comments I get on CBO

"Kill yourself. If you dislike DEADPOOL, you have no soul. Die, burn in hell, ressurect, die again and burn forever. "

Joaquim barbosa

 

I'm usually very tolerant of people with mental health issues but this was a response to a posting from August 2014... he's a bit slow.

Sadly, these people are all too prevalent in EVERY internet community.  The fact that he's a Deadpool fan says a lot.

Eye Problems -I'll Be Back...soon.

Thanks To Scotty, Stransky, Sepp and whoever I've forgotten!

I went to the eye hospital today and I found out that my opticians are useless (Specsavers are clowns -NEVER use them -they even told me in 2014 I had "nearperfect eye sight" which I've never had since I was 11 years old!).

I have bad Dry Eye -Blepharitis which is one reason for the pain but my optical glands were blocked and I had caking under the eye lids.  So, two lots of eye treatment plus hot flannel on my eyes each morning.

This SHOULD have been taken care of by Spec savers.  But 1.5 hours wait at the eye hospital with my Number 13 patient card was no real problem.

Resting eyes today and seeing what I can do tomorrow.

It begins slowly with Earth’s heroes going about their daily tasks –fighting a giant robot controlled by a mad scientist’s brain , attackers both human and mystical -even alien high priests of some mysterious cult and their zombie followers and, of course, a ghost and a young genius lost in time. 

 

Pretty mundane. But there is a huge alien Mother-ship near the Moon and strange orange spheres chase some of Earth’s heroes who vanish into thin air –are they dead?

 

 Then black, impenetrable domes cover cities world-wide. 

  

Alien invasion of Earth! 

 

A war between the Dark Old Gods and the pantheons that followed! 

  

Warriors from Earth’s past having to battle each day and whether they die or not they are back the next day!

 

 And no one suspects the driving force behind the events that could cause destruction and chaos throughout the multiverse —assaulted on all fronts can Earth’s defenders succeed or will they fail...is this truly the end?

Following the events on Neo Olympus and the Boarman invasion of Earth, many heroes and crime-fighters have withdrawn from activity. 

 

 Some are trying to recover from injuries while others are fighting the mental scars left by the events. 

 

 As heroes from other parallels who helped during the events return home, members of the Special Globe Guard are shocked at the sudden appearance of Zom of the Zodiac. 

 

Very soon, a group of heroes find a quick rescue mission turn sour as they become lost between parallel Earths and threats. Sometimes one Earth just is not enough. 

  

The complete story published in issues 7-10 of Black Tower Adventure now in...one handy dandy book!
