The quality control, paint (or lack there of) and general sculpts don't look great next when displayed with the modern figures.

I would love a new Beast and Cyclops to got with Kitty, Emma and Chrome Colossus. The Whedon/Cassaday Astonishing X-men run is my favourite comic series of all time. And I would love to have the full team on my shelf. I have the original Beast, but I just don't like the look of him next to the shiny new figures.

Also, I would love an Agent Brand or Danger. But that's probably pushing it

Oh Man, I held off on getting Beast for SO long because I really don't like the way he looks. Probably the worst looking X-Men Pop over all others, to me anyway. I would not complain about a new updated Beast mold!! Wouldn't mind a new Wolverine mold too, in his original costume, but I know that is a slim chance on that one.

I'd buy them! Gotta having some Canadian friends for Wolverine!

Also want some of the Excalibur members that haven't been made yet, especially Captain Britain, Longshot, Wolfsbane, Black Knight and many more, ha.

Stopped at GameStop today only to find the Homecoming figures being unpacked. Waited for everything to get checked in, prices printed and went to check out only to get the dreaded "release date" error. I was able to grab a pic of the GITD Vulture for anyone interested in seeing the packaged version.

I had the same thing happen yesterday. Was cool to get to see them though.

Luckily the Homecoming pops are available in Australia now. I picked up Tony Stark.

The quality control on the glasses was terrible though. There was about 8 at my local store and they were all dodgy. I picked the best one, but it's still not great.

Thanks for the info. I was a little worried how those would turn out. I'll definitely have to look over those carefully when they go up for sale here. That's the Pop I want the most from Homecoming.

5/1 right?

I bought Tony at my comic store today, and he's looking better than the pics make him out to be! Almost bought the Homemade suit, but I'll wait for him to show up at B&N, or someplace where I can buy him with a large discount easily.

Postby **Jezter** » Sat Apr 29, 2017 7:26 pm

I've been to my local GS a few times in the last couple of weeks and there is absolutely nothing new, it's kind of a bummer really. I was hoping got something, anything to jump out at me, but just...nothing. Maybe next time...

The homemade suit is available on B&N now online.

5/1 was the date the clerk gave me for the release of these. Hot Topic has also indicated a 5/1 release date (right after all my Hot Cash expires).

From what I've heard they are limited as to which stores get them in. This is a pic from a Costco manager on FB

I may check the one by me just in case.

PS Thank you all for the info!!!

Damn, this will be difficult to get. I am going to have to camp out at Target now

Target has been pretty terrible recently, so let's hope this one is an easy one.

Oh some of those exclusives are nice. I'm gonna have so many Pops from this line.

Lots to look out for!

Postby **jjwspider** » Mon May 01, 2017 10:02 pm

Found the HT exclusive Unmasked Spidey. Hoping to find the Wal-Mart exclusive tomorrow. The Target exclusive is one that I'm on the fence about but will likely try and pick up.

Postby **HaloHawk87** » Mon May 01, 2017 10:07 pm

My local HT had all of the commons and their exclusive today. I was surprised to see all of the commons, because usually my store skips the Pops they assume will be the less popular ones. For example, they got both Jack Sparrows for the new PotC movie, but no Salazar or Will Turner. I bought the only two I wanted from Homecoming (that are out now), Tony Stark and the regular Spidey. Gotta watch out for the paint on these. As someone else mentioned earlier, the glasses on Tony can be a complete mess. I only found one that was even remotely acceptable, which still had paint issues, but wasn't as bad. The glasses were also scratched up on the others. Mine was the only one that wasn't scratched up. The eyes on regular Spidey and Homemade Spidey almost all have black paint splatter on the white and white splatter on the bordering black. Despite the major QC issues, these Pops still look great. The eyes on both Spidey masks have a bumpy feel to it that's like a bug's eye. It's really amazing looking. Funko has really stepped up their game on the design of these things. On a side note, I also bought one of each Jack Sparrow. I used a 30% off coupon that I got in the mail on these, which saved me $15.

The GS in the same mall only had three of the commons. No exclusive Vulture (no common Vulture either), and no Tony Dorb. No Dorb was not a surprise, they almost never get any, but I was surprised to not see Vulture. I originally planned on getting the GITD one, but changed my mind a week ago when I saw a pic of how it looks for real. Wasn't as impressive as the glam. They also didn't have any PotC Pops. B&N and FYE don't have any from either set yet either.

I'm glad they made an Iron Man, but it's disappointing to see him get stuck in a 2-pack with the Spidey variant I wanted to avoid, and also going to the black hole of Funko retailers. It's pretty much a guarantee my Target won't get it. I don't plan on looking for it. I don't like 2-packs, in most scenarios. The only one I can think of that I want to see get made is a FitzSimmons 2-pack for AoS.

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Tue May 02, 2017 12:31 am

I hope the two-pack is easier to get than the recent pops at Target have been. They used to be somewhat reliable for me but that's gone down the crapper the last few months.

Postby **T-Diamond Stylus** » Tue May 02, 2017 12:41 am

Definitely gonna pass on the common Spidey and go for the Target 2 pack instead. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

Same here. The common's pose looked kinda funky anyways.
