If by "stores" you mean Comic/specialty stores, you won't find him. It's a Disney Store exclusive. I found him (and the unmasked ASM Spidey) at the one in Mission Viejo, CA.

Out of package, he's a little less impressive. The sculpt's great, but the articulation could be better. The knees & elbows are single-jointed, which leaves out any cool crouching poses. The biggest problem is that his shoulder pads are held in place by a tiny ball/socket connection at the top, and these pop out way too easily. Diamond obviously was aware of this, because they're held in place by clear elastic bands. I'd strongly recommend hanging onto those.

He does look great, though. And he'll probably look even better standing next to the Eddie Brock Venom coming out next month. :thumbs:

Luckily enough, Glamador DOES have a Disney store fairly nearby. Felt weird to see Marvel stuff in there first time they started popping up. Eddie Brock Venom is coming next month you say?

Well....I'm always a bit wary of those, because I prefer the versions of him that are more man-sized and less Hulk-sized. So often these days it feels like the only ones I see are the enormously muscled Venoms. If you pick one up, do post pics.

SO, a couple weeks ago I received an unexpected bonus from work. Decided to treat myself to something I'd always wanted & regretted not completing before:



The Dragon Knight line.

But that's not the whole story. See, I found a listing on Mandarake which listed the complete team & I was in such a hurry that I hadn't read the page in its entirety.



Turns out when Mandarake says "Complete," they fucking mean COMPLETE.

Cool. I have all the SH Mirror Monsters, except the set with Magnugiga. Mostly they're not bad, some of them aren't great, and of course the SHFs look much much better, but they're still nice to have.
