I'm not sure what you're complaining about. Rebranding gets them on shelves faster when there's a backlog like we have now because of the dock strike earlier this year.
Rebranding is what has kept transformers generations figures flowing in perfectly too. They've gone through even more rebrandings than MU has. From classics to now. Every legends wave of the 6'' is technically a rebranding. (Each wave tied to a movie or other strong media connections helps push merchandise to retailers.) Now MU is going through another to evolve with the brand to keep it going strong too. What's the problem with that? And I can't say it's ever been hard to google the brand name either. Never had that issue on not finding the images I was looking for in relation to this line. Toy Biz era is a smart thing to mimic. It wasn't until Toy Biz changed it up to inaction figures with heavy accessories that the lines started to tank. In fact they bought themselves some time from going belly up by re-releasing the old figures under a new heading with different paint apps. If these means back to the days of Toy Biz where it was 5-6 waves a year of 5-6 single carded figures, I'm all for it! Looks like a complete revival of MU underway tbh. Better card art, comic 2 packs are coming back, and the new figures are gorgeous as well as diverse. A little from everything Marvel. Heck, they've even now caught up to releasing all the figures from a spider-man game! Shattered Dimensions has now got all 4 protagonists in figure form! That's a store exclusive waiting to happen now. |

Nice and pretty pictures, but still going to just get Captain Marvel. The rest are easy passes for me.

While I think the new cards look great and I am absolutely ok with them looking like smaller Legends clones, but come one why call them legends... I know it was announced at SDCC, so it wasn't like we were blindsided, but call it something else.
I usually search for 3.75 when looking for our stuff, but that is only effective when the seller or OP calls it that too. Calling everything legends to me feels like a cheap attempt to make the line seem more profitable than it is. I can see next year them no longer separating the two and saying, "Look how well our legends sell!!" What would be the coolest thing ever? If the rebranding means that next year each legends line is released in both 6" and 3.75" and they are literally the same. Like we get scaled down accessories and BAF parts. That would seriously make this line the best thing Hasbro has produced. |

simultaneous release! brilliant. seriously though, if they did release the same figures at the same time in the two scales I think a lot of people at Hasbro might get upset if say, the 3.75 line sold out and the legends peg warmed as they tend to do.

That would be nice. It'd shut up all the whining on both ends of the spectrum if nothing else.

Looking at the new MI/ML stuff. Are we officially calling it ML now? Anyways, I'm REALLY happy about this. It seems like Hasbro is getting their shit back together. But this might mean one of two things. They finally care about this line again, or they're softening us up for its death.
I am without a doubt pre-ordering this wave.

I ordered the bootleg X-Men Origins 3.75" Deadpool weapons. I really can't wait. Speaking of orders, my huge package came. Hopefully, I'll be able to post pics later.

man part of me wishes I picked up more of the assembler guys. not the greatest figures ever but they are great for beefing up your ironman armory.

So you'd rather beef up your armory with scraps rather than meat? The cow of action figure collecting frowns upon you.

Hopefully, your bootleg is more like the Figma my brother bought(not knowing it was so. It only shows in the eyes and close inspection of the packaging), and less like...the Mr. T car that I've seen around the internet.
