Looks like Prof X was up on HTS again.
My Target had that wave. All the Prof X were gone.
I did get Nick Fury from HTS today.

I check HTS 3-4 times a day for the last month for Prof X, how the hell did I miss it?

I just got home from Walmart and K-mart. Neither store even had a Marvel Universe section (or Joe section).


The people who bought them out must sit at home all day refreshing the page. It's like the Big Boa on the Club store that I was watching for everyday and still missed the tiny window it was available.

I love the they have retired that old female body that every female figure came with. The one with the swivel at the waist. It looks like all the new figures, including male figures are switching over more towards Joe articulation with the mid torso joint. This makes me very happy as it opens up a world of more custom potential for me.

Out of 110 MU figures listed on their site, exactly 12 of them are available for purchase. Three of those are Iron Man. A couple are spider-man. And of course, you can have your fill of Gladiator. Such a crock. Why even bother claiming to carry these?

no kidding! what bullshit.

I have tempted to have a Gladiator contest so maybe we can get this prick out of inventory. My targets are crawling with him.

Is there some reason no one likes Gladiator? I have no idea who he is but he's pegwarming everywhere I go. It's like a MU version of Buzzer circa 2007.

same! and yes it's insane. I shit you not, 1 Target has over 20 of him. 4 pegs full to the gils with that figure. :whatever:

That's part of the problem - he's an obscure secondary (at best) character, and his figure is kinda goofy-looking.

What fogger said. If you didn't read X-Men in the '80s and '90s or didn't collect comic trading cards your chances of knowing Gladiator are pretty slim.

He was also in a bunch of recent cosmic events at Marvel, but even there he was never more than a secondary character. I can't think of anything other than Annihilators where he's a key character.

I bought one for my x-men collection and one for a custom, but he's not a household name. And I think that they grossly overproduced/overpacked him in a revision wave. It's not a bad figure, but they just overproduced him by a factor of four. My target has 20 of him and nothing else. If they put them on clearance for $5, I'd probably dream up a use for them, but at $10, they'll continue to rot.

I think he's having a contest with Plo Koon and Bom Vimdin as the worst pegwarmer ever.

Too bad it wasn't Cash-Money Destro warming pegs. My smuggler would have a fat stack of 1:18 ducats if he had.

I can help you with money for those briefcases...

Jubilee is back in stock at HTS so I assume Prof X was as well, but it's currently sold out. The demand eventually has to run out on these...

Any news on when the Thor: The Dark World line is gonna hit the pegs? Going by past behavior I'm thinking late September, for the movie's November release date?

Really wish it was sooner. I need that Loki.
