Got one in my BST... I don't care for Thor, and only bought it because the packaging with that poster was so cool. I sure wish they had put a picture of the poster on the back, I still wonder what it looks like.

Not missing out

The one on my wall is better

Lol, I wasn't planing on getting him. But when I saw him in that packaging I just had to have him

Does anyone think that the SDCC Thor is worth 50$?

Depends on how bad you want that packaging. I'd say wait and buy the normal Marvel Legends one that's coming out. He's pretty much the same, except without the powered-up effect.

Here is my little ML collection

Ahhh I keep forgetting that Giant Man is a Marvel Legend lol. He just fits so well with my MU collection.

Hmmmm maybe I will just wait then. At the time I don't even room to display him.

And that just means you get yourself a nice looking group shot!

Damn that's what hell of a ML collection.

He does look so perfect with MU's. Also, those Advil bottle look like smoke stacks on top of your building. lol New form of advertising?

Peteparker · 10-09-2011, 09:26 PM

I don't know. I understand the love of a line, I just don't get the Legends line. I always thought the packaging looked sub-par, with the ribbed bubble and all.

Did any of the Legends lovers leave their collection in the package? If so, what do you like about the packaging?

The majority of my Legends collection is MOC, but not because I enjoyed the packaging. It's more because I never had anywhere to display them. But in all honesty, most mass produced toys don't have great packaging IMO.

Which is exactly why I'm loving the MU line, lots of beautiful packaging art.

Yeah, but I wish the backs were a little better. At least show every figure available in that wave. But I really do appreciate them having one artist do all the artwork for a given wave. Adds a nice cohesion.

M3T4L V1KING · 10-09-2011, 09:39 PM

I personally like the packaging. Especially the Toybiz ones. There's something about the packaging I just love... not to sure what it is. The Hasbro packaging is pretty cool too. Most people probably prefer the Hasbro one, considering it has more art and all.

Peteparker · 10-09-2011, 09:41 PM

That Crossbones one isn't bad. Too bad the majority of the ones I've seen were the former.

I think the backs of the Marvel Legend figures are great too. Showing every figure (and variants) in the wave and all. MU doesn't do that... And I will also add, MU Canadian packaging is very, very underwhelming. Having 15 different languages on the back kinda ruins it.

I prefer the Toybiz packaging as per the fact that when I open my figure the backboard is still perfect.
