That’s the Avalanche with the self-cleaning tub scrubber! Just apply soap, wind it up, and let it do its thing!
That Avalanche was rather baffling, as were more than one design in that brief line, but yeah he’s better than this Hasbro one. I picture Avalanche as a big dude, not some guy with a bucket on his head.

Re: X-Men Retro Legends
I picked up a Retro Sandman when I found one cheap enough so I could do the headswap someone did earlier in the thread. That helped the look of the figure a LOT.

Do you mind reposting the Sandman head custom Avalanche you posted earlier, the image link seems to have died out?

Re: X-Men Retro Legends
Amazon says Avalanche will be here on Friday.
Here's my problem - I ordered this series from 4 different retailers and whoever shipped first, I would cancel the other 4 orders.
I remember ordering from Amazon, Target, and Gamestop...but I can't remember the 4th! It wasn't bbts, deep discount or dorkside. I can't think of who the 4th retailer was!!!!

Could have just searched your email for "Avalanche" I doubt that's a word you're using too often.

Re: X-Men Retro Legends
My Pulse order confirmations WILL NOT come up when I search my mail. It's like they use some kind of encrypted jpeg or something that won't let my email searches register the text. Specifically, if I'm searching for a particular item, say "Galvatron" or "Elektra". The search won't yield any results from Pulse for these names. They will come up for emails that tell me "this item is preparing to ship" or "successful payment for these items" or "this item has shipped", but if I want the original confirmation that I ordered it in the first place, my email searches refuse to recognize them. I don't know if it's like that for anyone else. I'm just using my iPhone email app, or the Gmail website on a browser. Same thing.

The only thing that jumps to mind is that email software isn't going to search for text that's embedded into images, and Pulse is one of many companies who tend to send emails with a ton of graphic images that text is embedded inside of. So depends upon the email, what text is in images and what is in actual text form, and whether or not you're searching for something that's actual text the email software can interpret.
I'm guessing you already know that, but you didn't mention it so I couldn't be sure.
