So I saw at Target yesterday some Iron Man 3 figures that come with CnC pieces to the Iron Monger. However, the package did not state who the 4-6 figures were. Does anyone know?
Also, two other things. 1. Does Hasbro really expect me to trust them to actually ship to stores the remaining 3 figures? The last company that did that failed on that aspect TWICE! 2. Are they really expecting people to wait 6 months before getting a completed Iron Monger?

Movie version Iron man mark 42. Movie version war machine. And classic ultron using the titanium man mold.

Ditto. Why they waited to put the movie stuff out is a mystery to me.

I'm not looking forward to the wait either--but the headless/armless Iron Monger standing on my desk is quite an impressive figure nonetheless.

Uh...
What about Mandarin? Or Pepper? Or even an Avengers characters? Obviously with Ultron they aren't doing movie specifics. That means there are 3 different versions of Iron Man and 2 different versions of Robbie's armors. Wow, WTF?! Nevermind, I'm not interested any more. Thanks nonetheless.

It's actually not impossible that Ultron is hinted at in this movie, either in a way relevant to the story, or just briefly shown jokingly (like Cap's shield in IM2). Maybe an after credit scene showing Pym working on something. Who knows. Last edited by itMFtis; 02-19-2013 at 08:03 AM.. |

Yes Iron Patriot is Norman Osborne as stated on the back of the package (just like the MU) and the Movie Version is different. And who is Robbie?

Also, I wouldn't factor in what some other companies did or didn't do as opposed to asking the more relevant question of, "Has Hasbro ever started a ML BAF wave and never released the remaining figures to complete it?". To my knowledge that answer is, No. I would expect to be able to complete this wave by summer despite the fall 2013 claims.

Very true, but if their wave 3 variants (RedPool, Blade, Moonstar and White Dr. Doom) are any indication, stores will probably just see the "Iron Man Legends" part and think "well, shit, we already have a case of those, no need to order more!" even though they're different assortments. That's another reason why I'm nervous about these new waves of Marvel Legends, stacked on Wolverine Legends, stacked on Iron Man Legends. I'm nervous the stores will think they have too many legends, and the guy who reorders will just throw a sideways glance at the pegs, see the word "legends" and just think they're all the same.

Maybe I'm unfounded in that thought, seeing as how the Iron Man 3 and Ultimate Spider-Man toys have clearly marked sections, so the Wolverine toys may have a separate section for their Legends too, but I've found it easier to be pessimistic about Hasbro these days.

I think Robbie was incorrectly stated as Rhody?

I don't like that this is what they do as a collector, but from a revenue perspective it makes perfect sense to me. If I could only count the number of times I see clueless mother's on the phone telling whoever that they're in the toyline for so and so's birthday gift and they know he/she likes Batman or Spider-man and just start pulling random figures of the pegs, I might actually be able to come up with sales figures in a given month, lol, ok maybe not but that scensrio sure does happen quite often. I saw the same thing after the Avengers movie.
