In case no one has mentioned this already--Shocker was originally going to be called "The Vibrator," which is why there there are "V" designs integrated into his outfit. Thankfully someone pointed out how that name would not be good to use, but the costume was set.

That ending skit was great, we need more Robo on the porch. I get home after working having just found the Marvel Legends comic Doctor Strange, get the notification from Pulse that my Skrulls are arriving later today and there's a Fwoosh review, great way to round off the day. I agree about Shocker, as good as he is something is a bit off but I'm not sure what. I don't like the mismatched yellows, he does feel pretty light and there's a slight cheapness to it, I can't pinpoint my exact issue (actually I think it's all in the paint). I can't help but really like Hobgoblin though, I never found that last version and whilst he is a little overly bright, the new one still works great up on my Spider-Man villains shelf. I feel like the Goblin figures could maybe use new body sculpts, I never cared for the look of the scaled limbs that are a bit too modern for me and they need more articulation and better gliders.

I had the old toybiz Hobgoblin from when I was a kid, however when I was a kid I lost the hood and the glider and I ripped the pumpkin bomb off of his hand so he was a very naked goblin. But then this new Hobgoblin came out and I took literally all of his removable accessories, ie cape, hood, satchel, glider, pumpkin bomb and put it on that old toybiz body and it looks damn good. The hood and cape are kind of bright for it but it works oddly enough and it's now one of my favorite pieces in my collection.

I'm lucky I already have one and the previous GG figure from the Sandman wave to fill the slot.

That was a some great customization music. And just that little bit of detail really makes the figure pop. And with it being a padded suit like that, you can always say the smudges are where he was in a fight. Not a big fan of the Hobgoblin, though. Weakest figure in the wave.
@anthonybernero97202 жыл бұрын
Those paint pens take a little while to fully set, so hopefully this tip doesn't reach you too late. Take a standard eraser and give the Shocker a lil rubdown. I'm sure you noticed that when you would fix a line with your finger, you'd stain the square you rubbed it onto. But If the paint hasn't fully set, you can literally erase all of your mistakes. A rubber eraser is a Gundam marker's best friend.

I have heard your comments on the price increases at the beginning of the year but now that there is another one one month later…. As a collector I just wish we can pause and wait for the shipping crisis to hopefully recover but as an adult I know the boys at Hasbro need to make a check also.
