It Figures #42 – Hellbabies
OK, this seems like…maybe not a good idea. (Marvel Legends Nemesis)
Just received the oddest press release I think I’ve ever gotten…this seems downright dangerous to me.
Hasbro’s Marvel brand team is very excited to let you in on some breaking news regarding its Marvel Legends line: The long-anticipated Marvel Legends Nemesis wave is finally hitting the U.S.!
We have learned that eight (8) San Diego area Wal-Mart stores will be stocking the Marvel Legends Nemesis wave, beginning this Wednesday, July 22 – in limited quantities, so act fast! The lineup for this wave, in case you’ve forgotten, is as follows: Punisher, Daredevil, Black Bolt, Nova, Beast and Tigra. There are also two variants in the wave – Punisher in camouflage and Yellow Daredevil. That’s a total of 8 new figures! Buy six (6) figures to complete a new Build-A-Figure: Nemesis!
The Marvel Legends Nemesis wave will be stocked at the following San Diego area Wal-Mart stores (while supplies last!):
- 1360 EASTLAKE PARKWAY, CHULA VISTA, CA
- 1150 BROADWAY, CHULA VISTA, CA
- 75 N BROADWAY, CHULA VISTA, CA
- 1200 HIGHLAND AVENUE, NATIONAL CITY, CA
- 710 DENNERY ROAD, SAN DIEGO, CA
- 3382 MURPHY CANYON ROAD, SAN DIEGO, CA
- 3412 COLLEGE AVENUE, SAN DIEGO, CA
- 4840 SHAWLINE STREET, SAN DIEGO, CA
I can’t help but feel a little pity for those hapless Wal-Mart employees who haven’t the slightest idea what is about to descend upon them down there in San Diego…

Review > Jason Voorhees (Cinema of Fear, Series 4)
A few years ago, I did a “Halloween Month” on my other blog where I wrote a review-length post every single day of the month–mostly movie reviews. The following year, the theme was going to be slasher movies–I would review my way through every single Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween movie. (more…)
