Keep in mind alot of YOUNG fans don't know who most of these characters . of course they know who Spider-man, Captain America, and Iron man are....
I recall my mother brings up once in a blue moon, when she bought me the "black spider-man" and the " Pink Spider-man" ( baron Zemo ) back in the 80s when the original secret wars toys came out. that goes to show you people whom ARE NOT comic knowledgeable don't have a clue have to who alot of these guys are. i mean we all do but we're all fans and collectors of this series of toys. I mean, it's not like they or the kids pay much attention to the individual costumes and such of each figure the way we do. I do know that Hasbro likes to anchor each wave to an upcoming movie release though, so that probably plays into a bit too. I mean, after all, you can't really have a Spider-Man wave without Spider-Man in some shape or form, can you? |

Captain America Legends Loose Comparisons | The Fwoosh
Definitely passing on Abomination. Looks worse than select and TB The Select one looks way too big and doesn't really have any articulation. The ToyBiz one looks mediocre to me.

I have been meaning to ask all of you, im curious if any of you ever saw a fresh box of legends on the top shelf where all the walmarts keep their other stock of toys and have you ever taken the box down and opened it up? I constantly look up there to see if i see any of the boxes because im familar with what they look like considering i order the newest spidey wave every year. however i have yet to ever find a new box of legends sitting atop that top shelf.
the walmarts near me..(and there are a lot of them) don't keep boxes on the top shelves...just loose product. They unbox things late a night and put them out. I HAVE opened a box, maybe a month ago that was out at like 12:00am..because i thought it may have been the civil war wave...but it was those damn Titan figures

I might get Captain Britain if I can, but the rest don't appeal to me at all. Abomination looks ok except for the crotch piece which looks like it belongs on a different figure.

The Fwoosh photos are awful, especially given the ones that MarvelousNews just posted. Everyone looks pretty nice, though Simon's still pretty plain-looking.
Steve, though, is appealing, which is weird since I haven't yet had a need for a Cap in my collection.

Those 12 inch empty husks of figures with 5 POA and no accessories? Not so much. I'm pretty sure they're only around because they're big figures for cheap lol |

Just a crappy picture of the figures we've gotten this year (technically, the ones from the Absorbing Man wave were purchased in 2015, but they didn't arrive until after the first of the year). Amusingly, right after this, I snagged a great deal on a Mandroid-wave Baron Zemo.

Did a bit quick research cause it was bugging me , but Abomination works into to scale as Hulk is taller than him.
looked at the Marvel pages Abomination may look better from the SDCC set, i think his shorts should be darker at least also i can skip that scarlet witch she looks fairly different than the one we got shown at the NYTF collection so huge meh i think i might get just get Captain Britain and wonder-man those 2 i think are the best ones Last edited by warmachine6; 06-26-2016 at 02:25 AM.. |

So it just occurred to me that that SDCC box set might be Masters of Evil themed.....ish. Don't know why Kilgrave is there though, to my knowledge, he's never been part of the group in any incarnation.
And I guess Spidey was thrown in as the obligatory hero character. |

Hi Tim, welcome to the Ark! I'm afraid I can't help you in that department, as I have neither Select nor Legends Ant-Man or Captain America (I'm assuming you means the MCU versions of both characters?) If you head over to e, there might be some video reviews of the Select figures which compare them to their Legends counterparts, but since no-one else has replied to you yet I don't know if they can help either..
Hope that helps! . |

@ BB..I like the pic and like the posing. Nice group shot.
some notables: - took me a moment to realize Morbius was behind Misty's fro - Was wondering did Beetle have a flame effect until i realized Jack was behind her. - I keep my Onslaught the exact same way - I never knew until yesterday machine man's arms were bendable - Just bought that Thor two days ago. - Jack and Beetle are the only figs in that shot I don't have - Vision looks somehow familiar Quote:
@Tim...welcome to the ark and hope you enjoy the community. With that being said..I don't like your AV pic..it's weirdin me out. Does anyone collect wrestling figures..if so can you PM me..I have a few questions.

This Abomination reminds me of the gray TB Hulk Classics Abomination, which also sported a decent sculpt with poor proportioning. I still find my Legends: Onslaught Abomination to be the most satisfying, with the exception of the lack of an ab-crunch. Quote:

Hope that helps! Very nice, Blunder! As much as we complain on here about lack of sculpted detail/quality of plastic, Hasbro have managed to bring out so many fantastic figures over the past year alone. I mean, we finally have a Misty Knight, for crying out loud. |

To add to the comment about number of figures, if the rumored third Spider-Man and second X-men waves both hit before the year end, that would be a total of 9 waves released this year. That's just crazy! I mean in a mostly good way but rather expensive. And yes with that many waves it leads to characters being done more than once (though in different styles).
I just wonder if it'll be like this next year as well. If so I'm going to have to be more picky about what I purchase because 9 waves, plus exclusives from 3 packs, cons and various retailers, gets very expensive. I almost hate to say it because it sounds like I'm complaining, but I (I mean my wallet) would be happy with 6 waves of really great unique figures every year. Of course I realize no one is forcing anyone to buy what they buy, but the option is there and it's hard to resist. |

Abomination is not always bigger than Hulk though.

as far as titans and mashers go i definitely stay the hell away from them. i can see the appeal to kids considering the titans are big and cheapy like and they probably throw them around and just break them im sure, mashers look like toys made to expand a child's mind with toys. However i must say i was very tempted the other day at grabbing a MINI masher, i saw. it was of anti-venom and i was so close to getting him but i said no, just can't do it. the price was right though, just 6.99 |

(things i look at when there are no Legends or Black Series figs i want to purchase in the store). I think that'd be a great line to own..LUCKILY i don't feel compelled to buy them. On the topic of being in the store with nothing to buy.... I almost feel..RELIEVED..when there are no figures currently out that i "need" as i don't feel compelled to stop in every damn store I pass that stocks our plastic crack. My huge wants over the past 2 or 3 months (Namor, Black Panther, Fury(s), Kanan, Ahsoka, Spider-Gwen) have all been met.....i can go..ahhhhhh....for a moment at least.

i think my focus of waves would be the x-men related waves maybe , got enough avenger figures really and not many x-men, x-related characters 13 soon to be 20 that is not including doubles
i think i might focus on getting 1 or 2 characters from some future waves with the exception of that dr strange wave. then luke cage , elektra ,when they get released and a fantastic 4 wave .. cmon hasbro we need a reboot , im stuck with those movie figures but yeah if i were to choose i would go for the x-men mainly Last edited by warmachine6; 06-26-2016 at 08:49 AM.. |
