![]() ![]() I am allowing my tension to subside a bit. Sure, having the team (or maybe even their entire corner of the universe) stuck at one retailer can be more of a collecting challenge, but I will stay dedicated if Walgreens does, that is for sure. Yes, the Thing is the most important one to me, but even a hint at what to expect will keep me satiated - for a time. I really hope that we get to see Reed then, and if that leaked list is accurate, Silver Surfer might even be getting in on the action as well. So, I will wait with bated breath for Johnny to start hitting this fall, and the additional news that will hopefully come at SDCC this July. I have been opining for this team for years and years, but now, I am going to TRUST. ![]() Even without my favorite, Ben Grimm, showing anywhere as of yet, I have decided it was time for me to let go of my angst over this. Plus, Hasbro announced at Toy Fair back in February that The Human Torch would be quick to follow his sister to the drug store, and potential leaked lists and store computers are apparently already showing Mr. This new Invisible Woman is hitting Walgreens stores around the nation, and she is the best Fantastic Four Marvel Legends figure ever.

Sure, that original Thing figure had a great head sculpt, but, man, did the articulation suck, Mr. Disagree? That is fine, but I will take anyone to task on the fact that, ever since the second series of the old ToyBiz Legends days, the F4 have been a part of ML, but their figures have always been sub-par. Yeah, in another turn of the cosmos seemingly frowning upon the Fantastic Four, we have never had good figures of any of the characters. And it only took about 17 years to get it. But how could this be? How, in the midst of all of the fighting between Marvel and Fox over movie rights (and subsequent lack of branding) and the canceling of comics we have been told about, could it be possible? Frankly, I could not care one lick about the where-tos and why-fors, and what is fact and what is fiction in the cause for the lack of F4 support, all I know is that now, thanks to Hasbro and Walgreens, I have my very first GOOD ML Invisible Woman.
