Comic-Con Toys: Oh Loo- HOLY SHIT BIG GALACTUS

Probably my final Comic-Con related thing (I've been informed that calling it SDCC is annoying and confusing to people who don't know) of the day:

GIANT GALACTUS





















Yeah that's not only really cool, but something everyone should want. Will have electronic voicing or some shit but who cares it's a GIANT FUCKING GALACTUS.


FTP text review later on, Quick-fire tomorrow or something. Top Ten writers when it's done.

Interlude: MARVEL LEGENDS SDCC EXTRRRRRRAVAGANZA





Marvelous News and Topless Robot have both been nice enough to inform the world about the Marvel Legends revealed at SDCC. Now I'd be a poor comic geek if I didn't also post the pictures and state my opinions on what ones matter. Most importantly I'll be saying the THREE that SHOULD be voted for by SDCC's patrons.

HIT THE JUMP OR CLICK ME 'CAUSE I'M A LINK AND THERE ARE PICTURES THAT TAKE UP SPACE AND WORDS THAT ARE LONG SO THEY'RE BEHIND THE JUMP OR THIS LINK IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH!
























































































From Left To Right:
Fantomex
Deadpool
A REALLY Shitty Hulk
BRUDDA VOODOOOOOOOOOOO (or is that DOKTA VOODOOOOOOO now?)
Black Widow
Warpath (cleverly hidden at the back there)
Ms. Marvel classic/Moonstone pretending to be Ms. Marvel
I Don't Know
Constrictor
Valkyrie
Bombastic Bag-Man
Madrox
Alternate Phoenix
I Don't Know
X-Force Wolverine (didn't we already have one of these?)
The Hood
Bi-Beast
Lady Bullseye


CHRIST THAT'S A BIG LIST. Only three of these can be chosen by the public. Hasbro pick the other three.

Now it's pretty obvious that if we don't vote for them Hasbro will pick Deadpool, Wolverine and The Hood. All three are popular and the first two are highly sought after for some reason.

As such the three that matter (and as such should be voted for) are:

FANTOMEX ('cause he's cool as fuck and a better Weapon Number than Wolverine could ever be)
MADROX ('cause NO FUCKING DUH IT'S MADROX!)
and CONSTRICTOR ('cause villains are under-represented in Marvel Legends and he's pretty awesome... as long as those tentacles can come off when you want them to)

Okay that's a post, expect the rest of last week's quick-fire reviews and a FTP text review of either Guardians of the Galaxy #...16? I forget... or Amazing Spider-Man #600

Interlude: I ALMOST FORGOT

In the current issue of X-Men Legacy:

WHY DO I WANT THESE?!
Well not the Black Widow one BUT STILL!
Freakishly awesome detail and a fun re-imagining of female characters...
Fuck I'm going to buy these aren't I?


I hate myself.

Interlude: Marvel Legends SDCC


I love Marvel Legends. Even the shoddily built Hasbro ones where parts are recycled and there were less figures for me to care about.

I love X-Factor Investigations. Madrox is one of my ten favourite mutants (yes there'll be a top ten for that at some point). I loved the series even when it looked like arse in Secret Invasion.

As such this is great news for me:

"There's a new wave of Marvel Legends 2 Packs on the way in 2010 and you help to decide who's in them. The basics are simple - six total characters, you pick three and we pick three. Sound like fun? Voting for this all new Fan's Choice will start on July 22nd when we reveal all of the possible choices at San Diego Comic Con."


That's from a Hasbro PR, tossing out the info that people who go to San Diego Comic Con get to vote for the next wave of Marvel Legends. Three of the candidates have been revealed already (Madrox, Warpath, Lady Bullseye) and they've done a good job at getting me stoked.

Madrox is awesome and no-one can say otherwise. Warpath... Well he's from a series I don't like so I can't say much but he looks cool. Lady Bullseye... Okay I know nothing about her. BUT MADROX!
