Maybe, I'm not a fan of how they've been forcing iconic comic stories to fit in with their less-than-good connected animated movieverse so I don't remember much of what has already happened. Still then, it was a poor decision to make Bane seem like an idiot just to be a Croc-swap when other characters like Amygdala already exist as dumb brutes who would better fill the role.

I wasnt a fan of the HUSH movie , too many characters got changed for the sake of it just to keep up with the latest comics which are passed ones i.e batgirl... Since the killing Joke seems their DC movies went down hill. Wonder Woman bloodlines was different but good different. The thing is they dont need to change the storylines or characters in already established good comics.

Superman will be a must have for me. Though I do hope they have multiple heads with one that isn't such a bummer.

I'm probably being too grouchy, at the end of the day it's still entertainment.

I thought the animated movie was fine, the switcheroo didn't really bother me since it made things a smidge less convoluted. My personal biggest gripe with the movie was that we got yet another portrayal of Bane as a big dimwit when leaving Killer Croc in the role would've been fine.

I also get sick of Bane being portrayed as dim witteed roided out door kicker. He figured out that Batman was Bruce for God's sake. He was originally supposed to be one of DC's greatest criminal masterminds. |

I don't think Bane will ever be as good as his first appearance in Knightfall. Arkham Origins came close but then they kinda ruined it because he had to line up with his appearance in Asylum.
No matter the story it seems like he'll always end up in brute/henchman territory. Last edited by snake5289; 11-21-2019 at 12:04 PM.. |

Okay, I need to pick up Venom now, because Carnage is too good and I want both.
Although the hammer-accessory throws me of a bit - considering how on point the other accessories are (the web-slinging tentacle effects are amazing) it has to have appeared in the comics somewhere, but I can’t remember seeing it. Maybe it came later; I'm only familiar with Carnage's first appearances. |

This Carnage is based on the ASM #161-3 Carnage story line with art by Mark Bagley.
And, although there are examples of Carnage's facial profile in these issues being drawn/inked in a variety of styles, there are a few panels that match the way his mouth will look on the figure, with the pink visible from the side: Last edited by toyhandle; 11-24-2019 at 09:34 PM.. |

That HUSH Supes looks oh so tempting. My only worry is, will he scale well with ML figs as I would at least hope he's the same hgt as 80th anniv Cap/Ironman. Smaller than that, no sale.

The comic versions seem to be the same size as ML's after looking at reviews. I don't own a comic character from mafex; Though my nolan trilogy batman v.3.0 seems to scale well with them despite being a few centimeters short. Im also sure that ML's aren't 100% 6inch

Legends tend to lean closer to 6.5" than true 6". It's pretty easily seen when compared to Hasbro's black series which are more of a true 6" scale and Legends are larger. I don't own any Mafex figures so I can't weigh in on whether or not they scale well.
Edit: I just looked up pics for the Mafex Venom and he's only about as tall as the Legends pizza Spidey so that's not a great sign for compatibility. It's possible these DC ones won't be the exact same size.

I have the Mafex Deadpool and he's just a smidge shorter than the ML X-Force Deadpool.

The Mafex Venom does scale okay with some Legends bodies, but your mileage there is going to vary depending on the body mold. MAFEX Venom does scale really well with many of the Toybiz Spiderman figures though...which is something I feel I should mention. Many of those figures still hold up to this day thanks to their excellent, stylized sculpts and insane poseability. MAFEX's scale is wildly inconsistent throughout the lines, and is the biggest reason I won't take the plunge full scale. The new Wolverine for example sizes up perfect for Legends, but Venom is a much taller character yet doesn't scale up appropriately to Hasbro's line. In addition, I've noticed that many of the figures from Mafex based off of actors in film as opposed to comics (John Wick, Robocop, and the two Boba Fetts come to mind) DO scale well with the vast majority of Legends and Black Series figures...especially the MCU oriented stuff, which tend to be smaller than their comic counterparts. |
