Victor Von Doom: Doctor Doom Appreciation 2019

[spike1228]

Thanks for the update on the status. I wonder how the guy got his figure to do the review? I wonder if he is a shop owner...would a retailer get products in advance or something?

Hasbro's distribution is all screwy. Plus some shops dont care about street dates.

[Iron Maiden]

I guess not. Wasn't it originally supposed to be out last month? You would think they would want some new product on the shelves for Christmas

[Kintor]

Once more unto the breach, spoiler free of course:

Spider-Man #36
It was fun seeing Doom beat down Spider-Man for most of the issue. A few clever one-panel gags for those familiar with some of Spider-Man's most infamous stories. As a conclusion to the 2099 event though? Doesn't really deliver.

2099 Omega
This is a terrible comic. Less like a concluding chapter and more like a #0 for a new series that is probably never going to come. Also, no elaboration on the true nature of Doom's identity here. Skip this one unless you’re a completionist.

It really feels like they bungled this 2099 resurgence, sad as I am to say.

This panel had me in stitches, and I kind of want this story to happen.

Doom and Spidey as buddy cops in dicey situation.

It's from Spencer's ASM#36.

According to Christopher Cantwell on twitter, Kristoff might show up in the final issues of his mini.

[Iron Maiden]

That's great! It's about time someone used Kristoff! I am looking forward to how Cantwell sees their relationship. Hickman was always pretty positive with it and there was a parental bond there.

But are we sure that this is a mini series? I was hoping this would be an ongoing. Well, if it lasts as long as Infamous Iron Man that would be OK I guess.

[Reviresco]

There's a new review for the Marvel Legends Doctor Doom figure. Nice that it's at 60 fps.

I'm not sure if this came out this week or last (when I didn't go), but Doom was sold out by Wednesday evening when went to my LCBS. They had the rest of the FF, though. So, start looking, folks!

[ImperiusWrecked]

Does anyone have any links where one can place a preorder? I've been checking amazon and walgreens on a regular basis to buy a figure but on amazon they have the whole FF set and I'm not looking to buy them all.

[Iron Maiden]

I stopped by a few places this week, a local Gamestop and a Mejier but no new Marvel Legends figures. I hope I don't have to rely on eBay or Amazon. Their prices are jacked up. I noticed the listing on the Hasbro site says they are sold out and the limit was 2 per order. I hope scalpers didn't grab a bunch of them. There has to be some at the retail level available somewhere. Gamestop's online store says they are due to ship on December 23 and looks like you can order them there but they are a bit higher than the $19.99 and selling for $24.99

[SuperiorIronman]

We have a Walgreens that regularly stocks Star Wars Black Series figures and Marvel Legends. They've only kept in stock Wonder Man and Eel for some reason.
Like I enjoy Wonder man and all, but why these two they keep I have no idea. Like I genuinely forgot Eel made recent appearance let alone was a legacy character.

[DoomScribe]

I went ahead and placed an order for the Doom Legends figure at Gamestop. We have one very close by, and it's supposed to be available Dec. 23. I got two so I can have both heads on a figure in my display. I don't mind the extra 5 bucks, but if I find one cheaper I may buy a third to have one unboxed. No word on the POP figure but my LCBS has promised me one.

[Iron Maiden]

Almost forgot about this, but here is the advance solicitations for March 2020

This has a lot of Doom mini series in the mix, plus the Thor Annual 1999 which tells what happened after Thor wrested Franklin away from Doom in Heroes Reborn #4. It's odd that they are saying it includes Fantastic Four #25 and #31 and not those issues inclusively, That is the arc where Reed is trapped in Doom's armor

[Iron Maiden]

If I don't see one in the stores near me by the end of the month, I am going to order my figure online too. I might even make a drive up to Three Oaks, Michigan. CollectorsZown is a fabulous little store and had a slew of comics related products

[Reviresco]

I was hoping to see the new Doom figure listed at Wal-Mart or Target, but it doesn't appear to be there.
