You may be interested to know they're just released a 3rd Ms Marvel, the Dark Avengers variant.

It initially looks like a simple head-swap from the modern to the classic but it's actually a new sculpt (they just use the same hair.)

Try to heat those legs with a hairdryer. They will get soft enough to allow you straight them before they cool down.

Hi Scott, I didn't know how to contact you, so that is why I am posting this in the comments area. I am from India and frankly, except for Transformers & Terminator Salvation, absolutely nothing is available here. I usually collect DC, Marvel and GI Joe action figures from Ebay US, but the shipping price with insurance is tremendously expensive. But luckily, a relative of mine is visiting Australia next week, to Goldcoast to be exact. So I can add a whole lot of action figures to my collection. But unfortunately, I read in your blog that DC Universe Classics is not available in Australia.

But still, I would like to know what series are available over there. Here are the ones that I am interested in:

DC Universe Classics; DC Infinite Heroes; DC Direct; Marvel Legends; Marvel Icons; Marvel Universe; X-Men Origins: Wolverine; 25th Anniversary GI Joe; and McFarlane Movie Maniacs.

So are any of these available in Australia? If so, which toys shops would you recommend to purchase these in, especially in Goldcoast? Hope you could help me out because I really couldn't find anything else on the internet. Thanks.

I know, and believe me I share your pain. I really really want a Rocket Red 6' figure... But so far, no luck.

Yeah, but it means less original figures per wave and I'll never get that "Shang Chi - Master of Kung-Fu" figure.

Another point with the repaints is that you can always pick up one version of Spidey or Iron Man that you actually like and ignore the rest!

@FMS In my case (and the other people that doesn't repeat figures) Hasbro would be actually taking care of me: "In every wave we'll put some basic repaints of the same figures so people like FS can afford to eat that month"

Thank you Hasbro! The bad thing is that I don't collect this series...

End of pointless argument with my inner voices.

At least with the two Ms Marvels they are different sculpts!!!!!

thats fairly interesting for Hasbro.

She's got wonky legs? Well Superheroing doesn't pay the bills. Anyhoo, I for one am thrilled for the repeat characters, the idea of 6 different Spidey's or Iron Man figs that are essentially a repaint of an existing sculpt once again shows the love Hasbro has for the people who keep them employed. End soapbox rant.
