Absorbing Man

So...I've finally received Absorbing Man. He's a decent figure, but much like many in this wave (which now that I have in hand, I'm disappointed by overall), there's a real Achilles' heel here that kind of scrubs any joy I had. It's not that I dislike the figure; he's nice enough. Simply put, he's just incomplete. In 2026, with 2026 prices, how do you make an Absorbing Man who even comes with an alt. head...and not have a single "absorbed" alt. part? How is that possible? It's sincerely baffling and, as a result, makes the figure feel kind of bland.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>So what's the play here? Release him later with a different deco? Pack in an alt. part or head later with something else? ...this just seems like a glaring oversight that should have been corrected before it ever even made it into production.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Because, truth is, the only thing he's absorbed...is my money.&nbsp;</div>

My thoughts on that? Pulse needs to find a better shipping company. I'm so concerned about my Mephisto pre-order, now...

They took awhile to ship my muse/bullseye set too. I thought it had another glitch where it said it was in stock but really wasnt.&nbsp;

This is a very solid Absorbing Man figure that I'm glad to add to my collection. And, apparently, there are available options to make this figure even better so I'd love to see my fellow collectors show me the way (and some have already done so gloriously) to get me over the fact that I whiffed on piecing the BAF. Cheers!

I should be getting this dude for Father’s Day. I’m bummed that he doesn’t have any absorbing accessories, but I am more than happy to add another Hulk rogue to my collection. But seriously, what the hell is up with no absorbing effects? He’s a dude with a ball and chain and that’s it. I’ll have to see if I can print some extra arms or something. With that said, from the pictures I’ve seen the head sculpt looks pretty good too.&nbsp;
