Florida Target's are probably a couple weeks away from Marvel Legends yet. I found 2 variant IMs, Hope, Klaw, and Constrictor at my TRU. Grabbed Constrictor, but at 19 bucks with tax included I'm holding out for Target.....

Optimus Vader · 02-15-2012, 11:02 AM

I bought two at TRU.. blue IM and variant Rogers. IM is getting returned. I only bought it because I thought it might be good trade bait, but it seems like that's the most common Legend out there so far. If I'm wrong about that, and anyone wants to trade me straight up for a Ghost Rider (either version), pm me before I return his shiny blue ass.

I loved the figure, headsculpt alone is badass, if u already got 1 on ebay, then just sell it to another arker and make your $$ back, and put the funds towards Modok or Mojo.

Giant Man and MODOK, in that order.

now i need AIM soldiers to prepare for MODOK's arrival. haha. oh geez. it never ends!

Hey guys,

just picked up 1 complete wave one case (variant case, 2 stealth iron men) from my main LCS, all he had were variant cases, then went 5 minutes over to the next shop and he had all regular cases!! score!!

my total is Reg IM, 2 Stealth IM, thor, klaw, hope, constrictor, Orange Ghost, and regular steve rogers (traded the variant for the reg) and finally TERRAX! dun dun dun...

all in all I love these figs so much (especially the Iron men) im diving head first into this line lol

p.s if anyone wants to work out a trade for orange ghost rider pm me (no terrax part)

Oh yeah. I can post this in here too.

Total newb question as I JUST (literally) got into legends...is the Select Colossus an acceptable size for the MU?

Theres a cool Legends style Colossus from the X-Men Classics line a few years back.

I don't have any Marvel Selects, I know technically they are scaled bigger, but I figure any extra oversized character Like Colossus and Juggernaut would probably look okay in a Marvel Legends set up.

Scale was never that great within the line anyway and the newer figures seems to be bigger than both the older Hasbro figures and the Toybiz figures anyway.

At least being a Transformers fan desensitizes me to scale :P

I'm not sure anyone has used the select one in ML yet. Seems like it might be a good fit, but he might even be a whole head taller than most ML...

Tiberius · 02-15-2012, 08:39 PM

The Marvel Legends/Xmen Classics one is huge. A whole head bigger than everyone [other than Omega Red and the sort]. Select I would believe to be WAY to big.

It'd work, he's taller then the ML version and bigger but Colossus in the comics is around 7'' tall, the MS figure is around 7'' or so, and looks very nice. if you can snag the ML version loose do so but moc he's pricey.

LORD MARVEL · 02-15-2012, 08:59 PM

Legends and MS figures are all different sizes ..
thor select should be taller..and the new legends Thor imo is a bit to tall for being a legend

LORD MARVEL · 02-15-2012, 09:00 PM

also The New IM from legends imo is to short

thor is what 7ft.. IM and SR are 6ft something..well in the legends its seems thor is 8ft and SR is 7ft and IM 6 ft..lol

Tiberius · 02-15-2012, 09:11 PM

Thor is 6'6. According to Marvel Wiki. In Armour, Tony should be eye to eye with Thor. Cap should be a few inches shorter. Hawkeye being only 6'3. My only gripe with most Marvel product is scale. But sculpt and detail is amazing so you win some, you lose some.

behindthemask · 02-15-2012, 11:08 PM

anybody need a detailed 6'' ML scale Hitler? if so look no further

Hulked out Hitler...fucking scary shit.

Optimus Vader · 02-16-2012, 12:11 PM

In case anyone was still wondering.. I confirmed (with my very own eyes) that there is NO color difference between the variant Steve Rogers and the regular version. The shield being clear is the ONLY difference.

..don't even think about comparing them via photos because in every light they look different, but I just held one of each right next to each other and they are exactly the same.

Woot, good to hear!

Yup but it's sold out...

Optimus Vader · 02-16-2012, 12:55 PM

It looks like the variant cases were shipped out first, like they did with the Astral Strange MU wave, and once those are gone stores are getting the regulars. Talking to "my guy" (TRU dude I talk to), he tells me that they're on their third case of Legends wave 1 and only the first was variant.

In other news, I saw every Legend from wave 1 today except the one I'm looking for (Ghost Rider). They did a really nice job on Constrictor.
