^ I don't like that IM because he kinda looks like a linebacker in that pic... great trap muscles.

I think he looks like the guy from the Backstreet Boys; still much prefer this head over any other RDJ headsculpt.

Curious, what price was that? I missed her twice at $40. First at my LCS when she first came out and then again at a toy show a few months before the Juggernaut wave was announced. I wasn't collecting ML back then though.

But looking at the figure now... it is not that great a fig... she is super lanky and her headsculpt is kinda ugly. I'm thinking ML will release another Jim Lee Jean Grey one day with an updated mold like they are doing with Psylocke.

$64....can’t find her for less than 90 on EBAY right now. I was waiting to snag her after Christmas, but someone beat me to it. I’m happy with getting Crossbones and Ghost for now. Jean will turn up. It’s not a great figure, but the best that’s out there right now.

I’m actually looking for the black variant lower torso for the Apocalypse BAF of anyone wants to give me a lead.

lol

There are still Odin and Ultimate Green Goblin waves in some of my stores.

Anyway, that picture is weird because I'm not used to see MLs on a regular display like that. My TRUs have them on half-sized shelves made to look like islands.

Veronica Mars · 01-04-2018, 02:24 AM

I got my Invincible Iron Man today. He's much cooler that I thought. I actually really like the Tony Stark head too

BAD MOON · 01-04-2018, 04:17 AM

It would nice to get some Eternals figures at some point. At least, Ikaris, Makkari, and Sersi.

donmeca2020 · 01-04-2018, 05:40 AM

Ran into the one figure from BP wave last night. Considering it was a walgreens i really didnt expect to see much and i stumbled upon black panther himself. I really saw no need for him. Considering he looks so similar to the civil war BPA figure.

It would be nice to get Sersi for sure. IMO she's one the few major Avengers left who hasn't had a figure made in either TB or Hasbro era.

This prompted me to do a quick rundown in my head of Avengers who haven't ever gotten a figure. Aside from Sersi (and discounting very recent additions), we still haven't gotten Squirrel Girl, Shang-Chi, Swordsman, Crystal, Moondragon, Starfox, Justice, Quasar, Rage, Firebird, Thunderstrike, Doctor Druid, Stingray or Gilgamesh (but doesn't anyone care about that last one?).

(I was tempted to include Mantis but she did get a figure recently, even if it was the movie version.)

A few of those are pretty surprising to me. I would've thought we'd get someone as prominent as Crystal by now. And Eric Masterson could easily be done as nothing more than an alternate head for a new classic Thor.

Yeah we've actually done pretty well with Avengers. The ones I'm most interested in would be Justice, Firestar, Sersi, Living Lightening, Crystal, Quasar, Swordsman II, Magdalene and maybe Swordsman I, Firebird and Stingray for classic (pre-Avengers Disassembled) Avengers. Newer age ones would just be Shang-Chi for me, I can pass on the rest I think. I know Starfox had a decent run but I can't stand the character, though I can see why many would want him to complete lineups.

Also I may be wrong in this, but I think that since Polaris got her figure last year, the original Swordsman may be the only non-Inhuman hero left that was introduced in the 60's and hasn't had a Legends figure yet, in any way shape or form? I guess with that alone it's time to get him done. Realzing two that Crystal would be included in the INhumans, and she is definitely the high profile after BB and Medusa. She definitely needs to get done and it would seem like it should be such an easy one to do. They both are.

That's the repainted Moonstone head from the Dark Phoenix 2 pack

hasbroherofan · 01-04-2018, 10:25 AM

I hadn't considered that Swordsman is one of the only 60's-introduced heroes without a figure. Hmm...I wonder what parts of Swordsman could be reused on another character, since that seems to be very important to Hasbro.

And how on Earth did I forget Firestar?! Is there a particular look you'd go for?

Weapon X · 01-04-2018, 11:11 AM

I don't really know how all this stuff works, but since Marvel has bought Fox, will we finally get action figures from the X-Men Movies again?

We should. They are pumping out MCU figures with the movie releases so no reason X-Men wouldn't get the same.

Probably not the FOX X-movies, but any Disney X-Men flicks going forward will probably have figures

Did Hasbro do the Kree Soldier or was that Toybiz? If it was Hasbro maybe that, along with some of the Dreadknight mold. Or heck even black knight with some adjustments.

For Firestar, personally, I am a HUGE fan of the Busiek's late 90's early 00's run, and loved that first line up, of which we're just missing Justice and Firestar (which is a large part of why I want them done.) SO I'd love to see one of the two designs she had in that, but I totally understand and would expect her classic design. Which would also be fine with me, it's just a personal preference.

So does that mean Morris Day is the next movie villian? They already have the perfect song for him....

SymbiSpidey · 01-04-2018, 03:22 PM

So I've been playing around with the new Invincible Iron-Man figure and I honestly feel like it's best Marvel Legends Iron-Man we've received period.

All of the other past Iron-Man figures have had major issues IMO. This is the first one where I feel like it doesn't have any crippling flaws. I dug the Civil War Iron-Man, but the hips are pretty bad. The AoU Iron-Man was also decent, but I felt like it was a bit small.

I wish we could get a classic Iron-Man as good as this one.
