I can't believe I'm saying this... but Hasbro is killing it. I gotta have that 12' Symbiote Spidey... and finally, a new She-Hulk figure!

Hmm is it just me but it's great that they're doing a lot of Spiderman villains but didn't they already do most of those already? Only one that's actually new is doc ock and vulture. In the 3.75 line that is.

Vulture - How is this Classic Vulture? It looks nothing like him. The 4 inch toy is Classic Vulture, this one is not. I still like it, but they shouldn't be advertising it as the classic version when it isn't.
Spider-Man - Are they using the teenage Spidey buck? Because he was never that small when he fought Vulture and the costume is not even accurate to Ditko's work. Also, no web wings? WTF? Lady Loki is literally just Loki using his shapeshifting powers. Same with Teen Loki (a version of the character we don't have yet in Legends, but that could also be cool, maybe using the new male teen body). |

I've seen many reviews of them with bad painting. This the worst painted toy I own, his paint rubbed off due to articualation! He has bleeding armpits, lol! And the plastic quailty isn't great either. My old childhood ToyBiz beats him in every aspect excpet for nice looking sculpt which is the only thing that going for those Marvel Legends. They're good for dispaly piece and horrible as toys.

I must have close to one hundred Marvel Legends figures now and the most significant paint defect I've had was one of Misty Knights eyes being misaligned.

Yeah, I've seen reviews of them with bad paint. I've seen many more with good painting. And of the many, MANY Hasbro Marvel Legends I have sitting within 5 feet of me, NONE of them have poor plastic quality, and very few of them have any noticeable paint flaws; even those who have noticeable paint flaws, said flaws are still fairly minor. You got A bad figure, and so you looked up reviews, and subconsciously remembered the negative ones more due to confirmation bias, and labeled the whole line awful.

This line is awful. I haven't even mentioned that he was completely frozen when I first got him. I never encounterd such a bad quailty issues on playline action figure before. The plastic is awful, you can see from close up how figures have chewed plastic in some parts, even in the face. It's like if Marvel Legends were their own bootleg version only more expensive...

Again, these issues appeared on other figures besides mine and can be seen in many reviews including the chewed plastic parts..

By the way, I've NEVER heard of the ""chewed plastic"" you speak of occuring on Marvel Legends. I've never experienced it, and I've never heard of anyone else experiencing it. |

They have some sort of scratches. Unfortunately, I can't upload here pictures, however a great exmple would be Nico face close up in Jay C reveiw and some of AnthonysCustoms reviews.

They may not be the rarest issues, but they're certainly not widespread enough to call the entire line garbage; when looking at the entire line, the number of figures with consistent (keyword: CONSISTENT, as in they show up across more than, say, ~30% of the numbers produced of that figure) significant issues relating to paint and plastic quality are quite uncommon. I have yet to find a Marvel Legends figure with genuinely terrible paint, and none have had stuck joints beyond "requires a bit more effort than normal to free it" (which, in and of itself, is rare). Again, I can reference my collection, and other people can reference theirs. I think the worst issue on any of my figures is that my Phoenix's eyes are wonky.
By the way, it didn't "requires a bit more effort than normal to free it", it was way worser and took a lot of time to free this bootleg quailty crappy figure.

I meant Nico and 30% isn't nowhere near good! The fact not all figures are bad doesn't mean the quailty control of this line is terrible! That's the whole point!

Who the hell are you to say how stuck the joints on MY figures are? I was describing my (nearly non-existant) experience with stuck joints in Marvel Legends.

2. I talked about my figure and I remember watching reviews which said they need to heat the figure to free it. This is Playline toys for kids as well, what the hell?!

1.That's still bad, whether it's one specific figure or an entire wave. The bad quailty isn't uncommon as you hope and they're really bad and not minor issues.

Again, you're talking from the experience of ONE figure, and reading/watching some bad reviews. Not only have I bought far more figures than you have, but have consistently heard general positivity about the line from most people who collect it, and even many of the reviewers you reference have quite positive thoughts on the line overall.

It's NOT ONE figure! Yes, there's general positivity where people brushed off those issues! I saw positive reviews mentioning those issues as if they were nothing or showing the figures without even talking about these issues. The fact there's hype around this line (unjustified hype, may I say) doesn't necessarily means it good.

What I mean is that you, personally, are talking from having personally experienced one figure. And you can't always just brush off good reception for something as "undeserved", because that quickly becomes "no, all these people that like this thing are wrong, I'm right that this thing is garbage" for EVERYTHING that a lot of people like and you don't, instead of different people having different tastes, which then eventually becomes "everything I disagree with is wrong", which is obviously an absolutely idiotic point of view. Obviously, it's doing something right that these large amounts of people enjoy, and think it's doing that right thing more than enough to overshadow the bad things. Now, that's not to say that everything that sees massive success is right, but still, you can't always just submit to your biases and disregard widespread praise for something you dislike as "bullshit." I also think you not only seem to think the problems of the line are more prevalent than they are due to your seeming to selectively remember negative reviews, but also seem to think some more minor problems to be bigger problems than they actually are for a toyline that only costs $20 per figure.

Again, you ignore completely my points: 1. Some POSITIVE reviews mentioned those issues but treated them as nothing 2. the fact NOT all figures are bad quailty, doesn't mean the quailty control of this line isn't terrible! This is not as uncommon as you described it! 3. Frozen joints, scrached plastic and terrible painting aren't MINOR issues! 20$ is still quite amount of money and it should refelct the value I am getting for the money! 4. The fact that many people thinks is good doesn't necessarily means it good! Facts aren't determined by the amount of people who agress with them.
I'm done with this argument, as you clearly refuse to ponder that your point of view on this subject might be wrong and formed by lack of experience and selective reports of quality. Last edited by Jeddostotle7; 02-19-2017 at 06:31 AM.. |

I want all the Netflix Marvel guys on my shelf (maybe minus Electra) and, although I'm inclined to wait for Mezco who will surely eventually produce them, the thought of having Punisher, Daredevil and Jessica Jones in plastic form fairly soon and for less than half what I'd pay for the One:12 line is very hard to resist. I haven't bought anything from the ML line for years but the Netflix and GOTG bunch are begging to be owned.

That's the All-New, All-Different Spider-Man costume, who's main defining feature (aside from some changes on the angles where the blue and webbed red meet) are the glowing Spider-Symbol and eyes.

And I really hope you aren't basing your opinion on AnthonysCustoms. He is hands down one of the worst Youtube reviewers out there when it comes to figures. Not only is the man so monotone and boring, but all he does is talk about every single flaw a toy has and compares it to something else that did it better. I don't even think he like reviewing toys due to his attitude. Hell, he tore the new Wolverine figure to pieces for minor nitpicks rather than any actual flaws. He's also inconsistent. He talked about how unrealistic Iceman's torso was (he hated it and spent a good 1-2 minutes on it) but praised it in his Pizza Spidey review. No one is denying there being issues, but on the grand scale of things, they are minimal compared to the number of toys produced. Also, if you see a figure with a bad paint job, pass on it until you can get a better one.
