Another downside to Bill Cosby being awful is that “What’s a Qubit?” would be a great joke here.One thing I’ve gotten to do this year is replace a small pile of ancient ToyBiz Marvel Letends with updated modern versions. I’ve mostly replaced Daredevil (though I’d also like a non-cel-shaded pure red version), Symbiote Spidey, and soon, Doctor Doom. And now Nova - never really loved the old figure. It had weird 90’s frills on it and now it’s, like many figures of the era, loose and tacky.
Now, is this Nova a masterpiece? An exemplar of what Marvel Legends could and should be? No, it is not. Nova is the most basic of bitches. An old body. An accurate paint job. Comes with flying hands. I’m pretty sure the only reason it was even at the Walgreens near where I picked up my Sandman is that it got returned by someone who couldn’t flip it.
But it is Nova. And assuming they don’t make a much better one in the next year or so it was worth grabbing because I like Nova.
He comes with Qubit, who is a Nova Corps member who fits entirely in a hemet? I’m not steeped in Nova lore but I know a head on a stick when I see one in Marvel Legends and I know who else has a head on a stick!
When Cathy learned I was going to do Pokeballs digitally, she decided that no, she’d make me 1:12 scale Pokeballs out of beads because that’s how she do. So now I have Pokeball accessories!
