Hasbro Fan First Monday 9/13/21 Recap – Retro Spider-Man, Retro Marvel Superheroes and More!

QuikMix · 09-13-2021, 08:44 AM

Four of six are definite buys. Can't believe they finally did an armored spider-man

IzzyTipsy · 09-13-2021, 08:59 AM

Man, that makes me want to dump my comic Shocker and Hobby.

That "Classic Retro Loki" looks much more like the one from Loki the show, IMHO.

diablogunner · 09-13-2021, 09:09 AM

The new SPIDER ARMOR version is double pinless too..hmmm...

Augustus10 · 09-13-2021, 09:34 AM

That Shocker is a HUGE improvement over the last release.

Finally getting Hammerhead is awesome! I hope one of those future troop builders is Mafia/Maggia goons.

I really like the new Spiderman body, so getting symbiote/black suit on it is fantastic!

I'm sure the giant carded Spiderman figure they teased in the outro is Rhino... possible Lizard... but I would like a definitive carded Venom... if the Hascon exclusive would have only had the blue highlights I would have been excited to pick it up... but mixing the reds and blues means it will probably only look right from certain angles

Wow, I've been completely unimpressed with the majority of Marvel Legends reveals as of late. But I have to say, everything here looks amazing. Loving the classic look for the majority of these figures. And they're making me want a damn Spidey Armor figure!!!!

JAG2045 · 09-13-2021, 10:02 AM

Yes! All 6 are must buys for me! Black Costume and Web Armor Spider-Man were two of my fave toybiz figures and classic Shocker has been on my want list for years!

Dolemite · 09-13-2021, 10:12 AM

Digging the Classic Shocker. I'll get 'im.

WereSkrull · 09-13-2021, 12:01 PM

Not a bad Falcon. Wish they would release the actual retro version, though. Maybe with Redwing.

EvilMonkeyPope · 09-13-2021, 12:07 PM

Why would they take away Hobgoblin's scale mail?

SuperWeird · 09-13-2021, 12:18 PM

I'll take the Hobgoblin, Shocker, and definitely the Hammerhead figure please.

It's based on the 90's animated series which lacks scale mail. So did green goblin but I think there an implied scale mail on him on the show.

OriginalFire · 09-13-2021, 01:18 PM

The Hobgoblin face is not the greatest.

You would think if they were that concerned about making a cartoon version, they would've taken the time to get the rest of it right. Maybe a head sculpt that actually looked like it did on the show and a cape that wasn't torn to shreds.

Looking at that head again it has to be a what if hobby….as in what if corky from life goes on was hobgoblin.

Nayt Navare · 09-13-2021, 03:01 PM

Glad for folks who snag these, but gosh I miss buying 4" Marvel. I'd pull the trigger on the 5 POA but they haven't even plugged holes with Spider Gwen, Ms Marvel, Squirrel Girl, Namorita, Kingpin, Killmonger, etc.

immortalslayer9 · 09-13-2021, 04:36 PM

I think I like the older Shocker for one main reason. They didn't bother to color in the black lines on this newer one. It just looks cheap to me. I'm in on all the rest though, except maybe Hobgoblin.

Hexgun · 09-14-2021, 07:38 AM

– There will be at least two characters who have never appeared in Toybiz or Hasbro that were also in the MU Series 2 card set (91)

Death's Head (original)
Speedball
Saracen
Deathwatch
Calypso
Sleepwalker

Place bets now

No way, dude. I LOVE that Shocker, he's straight out of the awesome Superior Foes of Spider-Man comic.

Hey! Do we have a fellow Death's Head fan here? I've been clamoring for a proper Marvel Legends Death's Head for ages, yes?

BTW, welcome to the board!

Absolutely! I mean we got deaths head 2 so give us the original deaths head!

goliathfasa · 09-14-2021, 12:19 PM

Male superhero figures: stoic and combat-ready.

Female superhero figures: "You should smile more!"

Ty!
Yeah, made a custom DH many years ago - would like to see him get the Legends treatment

Synth · 09-14-2021, 01:58 PM

And Army Builders already sold out...

Comedian · 09-14-2021, 02:55 PM

Well that’s good in a way. Means they may make more of them and MCU army builders are in the pipes!
