Cashing in on the War!
Not the real war, but rather the big event at Marvel comics Civil War! I am however confused by these figures that are being released in October. These Resin figure dioramas claim to be based on Marvel's "Civil War" comic series. But I have no idea where that idea comes from. For one, the X-men are no where to be seen (I am not taking that X-men: Civil War seriously, not that I am the main title), let alone in their Jim Lee costumes. They each stand 7" tall and come with interlocking bases for head-to-head battle or when combined with Series 2 figures, form a massive circle of destruction! Each figure is limited production of 800-1,200 units per style worldwide. All were designed and sculpted by Digger of Art Asylum. The retail price for these puppies is $70 each! They are very anime influenced and actually look really good and the idea of interlocking bases is perfect for these, but come on Civil War Dioramas?!!! Who are you trying to fool?

That is absoloutely shameless. These clearly have nothing whatsoever to do with Civil War.
I know, I know, "Big Company in Shameless Money-Grabbing Scheme Shocker!" but still, the sheer gall of it....
agreed. as far as i know, juggernaut's in europe or something with excalibur, not having anything at all to do with the civil war. i'll tell you what they SHOULD have done though. they should have made the wolverine vs beast states straight out of astonishing x-men and had 'howlette' wolvie running away from a crazy beast with a deer's carcass on the floor and a bunch of paper-dolls fluttering in logan's wake. that would be buy-able.
