And even if half of the possible figures were movie versions, there would have been a great opportunity to make/ remake some fan favourite comic styled. There's no telling if we're getting figures for any future mutant movie, and this seems like a lost opportunity to get a new Magneto, Polaris, Rogue, Bishop, Cable, etc, etc.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at a ML boardroom meeting lol

Unless it's that whole other thing about the Marvel team for Hasbro having too much on their plates for the year already....

*cough*
Winter Soldier, Avengers/S.H.I.E.L.D. Gear, ASM2, GOTG, MI, etc.
*cough*

Agreed, but they did do some poorly made Wolverine 2 movie figures:P Although come to think about it, they were poorly done and so much potential for figures there as well. Sigh.

Its kind of crazy how Marvel Legends figures for X-Men 3...yes...X-Men 3 from 2006 are still pegwarming at a bunch of my local comic shops. LOL. That is one cinematic toy line I flat out hated.

Was that made by Toybiz though? Saw my friends X-Men Legends figures from the very first movie, man so lil articulation. It's no wonder those figures didn't really attract me at all.

Which ones are rare? They're all at $20-25 at my shops. I'm sure I could haggle some down if I bothered. From what I recall it was X3 Beast, X2 Professor X in his chair, Jean Grey in that red dress, Juggernaut in that awful leather straps outfit & a Colossus with the X on his black vest.

X3 Beast & Professor X looks the best to me but I have no use for them.

Oh sorry are you talking about the movie version? Oh yeah those do suck I was thinking X-Men Classics like the Cyclops in Jim Lee outfit or those Iceman Bobby Drake variations and Avalanche. My bad.

These guys:

I have that juggernaut he's pretty good although he has one of those buttons and his arms move which i hate alot although i think i got him when i was younger still good though.

When was Juggernaut included? X-3? It's too bad they didn't at least try to make his movie look a little closer to this, as I assume CGI was was out of the budget to make a classic look.

[cidman911]

This is the atrocity they have at my LCS.

LMAO

[Serious Lee]

Sometimes we ML collectors get dragged through ditches in order to build em lol

[ChuckSass]

my LCS had the dark phoenix jean for 3 bucks… I bought it

[Serious Lee]

That sounds like a fair price for that figure, now if they only charged $3 for the X3 Juggy, Beast, Colossus and Emma Frost's first incarnation....

That's why I said an "X-Men [proper] film".

Toybiz did 6" figures for X1 and X2 (they were just called Movie Series, not ML). X3 figures were among the first ML toys produced by Hasbro after they got the rights in 2006-2007.

The toy line that Byrnes is talking about (and has that Juggy in his pic) was made by Toy Biz, but it was comic-themed and simply called "X-Men". There was also another 6" X-Men line released by Toy Biz around that time called "X-Men Classics", but it didn't have any movie sculpts in it, either.

Those two lines were among the last of the Marvel 6" figures that Toy Biz produced.

Just got a Pyro today from ebay. So alittle appreciation is in order.

[Exodus]

For those who still haven't gotten BW from the Cap series, here's a recent case assortment.
Marvel Legends Infinite Series - Captain America The Winter Soldier Wave 02 Revision 01 - Case of 8 - Captain America: The Winter Soldier Figures

[chrisskiba]

im tempted to buy one if someone was interested in buying the rest of the case off of me

[chrisskiba]

either that or Im assuming that maybe target and Walmart would be getting more around the same time so maybe I could just go down the street every morning. I have a wm and target within five minutes of me.

I'm a bit of an old school guy. I like the hunt of finding a figure. Clicking a button is lame. So over the last 20 years or so I've found some good stuff(and probably spent hundreds on gas), but in the last 10 years practically nothing good. So I'm bumping around, hit Ross in daytime(found Hope and Klaw earlier in week), nothing this time, hit another Ross later last night nothing, roll into TJ maxx around 8:30 and BAM I see these guys(Punisher & Hawkeye) after looking around for a min or two. I couldn't believe it. Not only are they ML they are good characters. This is the first time in a long time that my energy spiked (aka wood)over finding a couple figures. I never really collected ML cause they were never in stock, anywhere over the years. I then later hit up a third Ross and found the Steve Rogers. Gonna try and hit some more stores today. I know it may be lame for some of of you but this is fun again for me.

My money is on Spidey to flip around Pyro's back and yank his gas lines out for the win. =)

Very nice! I found the blue flamed GR at at TJ Maxx yesterday...was in a shopping cart though, almost passed up on it. You really need to scan their toy section.

That's good to hear, I think all the others from that line had been confirmed seen but that one.

If you ever wanna do someone a solid I would love to have Jean & Wrecker. I don't know if I'll find those here.

[Byrnes]

Picked up a Boomerang, he looks so much better with the SM collection than Beetle.

I will keep an eye out if I swing back that way any time soon.
