Not bad looking, I just don't get the need to call this line the same name as TWO other sized lines. 3.75", 6" and 12" lines are all Legends.

It's rebranding that's all it is.

Remember when they came with accessories and were 3/4 of the price they are now. The good-ole-days.

Yup...and isn't it even crazier that if you buy the 3 new 2 packs you get 2 extra figures vs the single ones that have only 4 new characters...both cost $65, really?

Yeah it was nice when these were fully articulated. I wish they would use the old bucks (like the 1st appearance daredevil) so that you could get rogue and scarlet spider to do something other than a "get off my lawn!" pose.

I'll buy Morbius and Hydro Man forsure. When it comes down to Rouge, I'd much rather have the 3 Pack Jim Lee version from the Universe line.

Well I am very disappointed with these. I hate being negative and hate that I have to put effort into a post to put up something negative, but these comic packs are line killers for sure...
I know I don't speak for everyone, but how many people want two horribly articulated and horribly painted spider-men? Or how about a two pack feature one of the most peg warming figures to be released under the Marvel Infinite Line (I got 2 Hyperions for $6 total after tax at a Kroger...) They should have released a two pack with Grim Reaper and Hyperion and called it the clearance team. I was really looking forward to an official Kree soldier, but after seeing them I have no desire, I really wish the white was silver or grey, it would have made all the difference. The single packs look nice, but the only ones I am really interested in are Quasar and Hydro-Man the rest need some help... Morbius looks terrible which is sad since the legends release looks so good. Last edited by K Dubious; 05-03-2016 at 07:53 AM.. |

It really pisses me off that they had the balls to name this "Marvel Legends"... I mean, WTF Hasbro?!!!
More like "Marvel Universe Mold Origins" |

I'm done collecting this line too. The articulation is all over the place. Some are good on old bucks, while others just flat out suck with no swivels, or even wrist articulation. Why bother putting ankle rockers on these if they don't articulate the most basic things like wrists!?
I guess if you're a MOC collector these are great. But I'm tired of this apathetic approach when they have been asked by collectors every year that the articulation ought to return to its former self. The new bucks they made just don't deliver and the figure becomes background fodder. Not buying it anymore, the product or the excuses. No thanks. |

I'm almost there universe. I've been a loyal customer buying whole cases but I may quit this line if things continue this way, and I will NOT be buying any of the 6" stuff. All they had to do was use the old bucks and instead they try to reinvent the wheel and fail miserably
Atleast with Marvel, they sell pretty decent but like you; hardcore collectors are fed up with table scraps like this. I know this is a tired point, but the repack of Captain Marvel masked head should of been packed in with the single release and used her slot for a Ronan the Accuser for the 2 pack. That's something I would get excited for, not just rerelease of something we got last wave. And Hyperion, new color scheme cool, but to pack him with the same character in another paint scheme and use an entirely inferior buck is beyond me. Why are we still buying Spiderman on a buck that can't even represent one basic pose when they released countless before that have superior articulation and even that wasn't enough to get all the dynamic poses the character offers on the pages of comics. Progressive articulation was a thing at the end of the glorious Marvel Universe line, the Herc bucks, the hinged necks were becoming the next level of poseability. Obviously this line from its roots revolved around one person who made our action figure dreams come true and when he left, the ass-wart who took over decided to remake the entire line into a dung heap. Justice be served, please. If they want to kill the line, let it be killed. I won't be changing scales for these delusional hypocrites. |

I think the Captain Marvel set should have been done in the box format, maybe with Ronan added, but with the interior liner of the box being an image of the Supreme Intelligence.

This crap is what made me finally make up my mind on changing my career plan from animator to toy designer. Granted, I think the line is doing a bit better than it was last year, but the fact remains that the industry as a whole is treating this scale as a throwaway scale when the money for larger lines runs low, and that needs to stop.
