Huh! Maybe I should come to the comic forum more often. I mean, comic-wise, I don't venture much outside TMNT. But toy-wise...

It's been a heck of a couple weeks. I only found out about the Kitty/Colossus 2-pack a day before release.

While I still vastly prefer the older comics over the new, I'm beginning to feel a bit of a resurgence in my X-Men love.

CinemaCon was today, and Hasbro has started to drop info for their Spider-Man: Brand New Day merchandise, due May May 31st at all retailers. ActionVerse is the brunt of the kids initiative, and the feature item is a massive tank vehicle evocative of the assault vehicle seen in the trailers. Packaging gives a look at some of the ActionVerse figures, including a basic Spider-Man, Hulk, Scorpion, and Spider-Man in black and gold. There remains a good chance of additional on deck depending on venue and other factors.
Worth noting that there is a good bit of Hulk merchandise as part of this push.

Also, Lego. Notable both sets feature Tarantula mini-figures, and the prison transport is very evocative of the 2-in-1 Tank vehicle in the ActionVerse line.

Love to see that classic Force Works US Agent and more Alpha Flight love... but as nice as that Marvel Rivals Moon Knight looks... I have to take issue with the lack of a wired cape. If anyone was going to have it, Moon Knight should be the guy given the way his cape is used in game play.

Hasbro's aversion to wired cloth capes is starting to get weird. NECA has been providing them on $35 figures for years. McFarlane has been providing them on $25 figures for years. Hasbro is a much larger company than both, can produce more product then both (in theory bringing costs down), and has more money to throw around. So why is the only wired cloth cape on a Hasbro Marvel Legends (Maximum Thor) locked behind a "premium" label? I was hoping Maximum Thor would be the "introduction" of wired capes to Marvel Legends in greater numbers but after this reveal? I'm afraid Hasbro's going to reserve it for their premium $50+ line. Which, again, is inexcusable when smaller companies have been providing them on figures for $15-$25 cheaper.

I remember she was a good guy, then a bad guy, then she died. I remember her haunting Rahne in a few issues of X-Factor. I don't know if anything happened after that. I mean, did she ever get resurrected by Krakoa (or some other means)? Did she ever redeem herself?

Kinda sparse on the extras. Not even an alt-head. Still, I'm not complaining. Cat girls are totally awesome!

I was hoping to do a more dynamic action pose, but then Rahne's arm broke off. I'm thrilled I finally found a glue that works on toy plastic. Superglue didn't work. Gorilla glue didn't work. But E6000 worked like a charm. Though I'm still afraid of trying to move it too much. So you get a standing pose.

Yeah, she got resurrected during Krakoa. Then became roommates with Marrow. Then got kidnapped by villains and turned into a brainwashed cyborg hunter by the Spider-Man villain the Vulture to attack Nightcrawler who was disguising himself as Spider-Man at the time. Then she got over that. Then Krakoa ended. Then she joined a new version of X-Factor owned by a social media company. Then she died again. But, this is comics, so she'll probably pop back up again.

First instinct: C'mon, man! If you're going to make jive up, at least make it believable.

Reads article: Holy jive! He wasn't kidding. What the hell are the writers at Marvel smoking????
