New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

Ooo... great pics. I like the Udon Taskmaster we already got better. And I really like Cap's headsculpt... guess he doesn't need a shield anymore... even though in the trailer Black Panther told someone to "get this man a shield."

As for the MCU figs, I think Proxima looks good and I probably will get her. I don't think I want/need more MCU Caps or Spideys - especially if I'm trying to stick to the 1 of each char rule...

Any time you have a figure get released, where the name is not on the front of the box, it's due to copy write claims. Hasbro cannot use the figures name. It may be copy written by someone else or it's just too generic of a name to put on there. That's why you see things like "Marvels Songbird" rather than just Songbird. Now, why they didn't go with "Marvels King Cobra", which would have resolved this issue, I have no idea.

We assume his shield was taken, by Stark, at the end of Civil War and turned back over to the government, along with Falcons' Wings, Hawkeyes' Bow, Ant-Mans Suit, ect. Captain is still a "criminal". So when Black Panther says give this man a shield, they did, the one you now see in the package, the one to HIS upper right. That is his new shield.

On another note, between the trailers and this figure, it looks like Thanos only gets the first 3 stones. The Purple, Blue, and the Yellow. Looks like we'll be waiting for part 2 to see him get all 6. (Unless I missed something, somewhere)

I can't wait to see how Vision turns human, and then back red/purple before getting his stone taken from him. You can clearly see him with his stone and in human skin and then later on, Thanos (or someone) taking his Stone while he's on the ground.

^ Oh wow... I thought that was a BAF piece... how is Cap supposed to throw that shield. LOL.

He started with non-circular shields, so I'm sure he'll do fine.

Panther · 02-01-2018, 06:19 AM

I knew Proxima Midnight would be MCU. Cannot wait to add Thanos, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, and Proxima Midnight to my display. Way to go Hasbro!!! Who’s next?

Augustus_Cole · 02-01-2018, 06:22 AM

24 new figures out.....
it's a great time to be collecting....and poor soon afterwards...

VashTS · 02-01-2018, 07:04 AM

I know it's going to be a female dog fest here...but this wave really reminds me of the original Thanos BAF wave. Peg Warmers galore I feel. ALways nice to see new things, but it does give that huge peg warming vibe.

I can kinda see that too. Itll be hot for a bit and scalpers buying it all up will artificially drice demand but once it hits enmasse it may be like the hulkbuster wave.....except instead of the hulkbuster armor baf its a purple pecker in clothes. Haha

donmeca2020 · 02-01-2018, 07:14 AM

I'm honestly not too crazy about that infinity wave... that taskmaster looks great but i have the previously released one. The BAF is mcu Thanos? Ehhh

Really solid wave, gotta admit. I am trying very hard to only buy comic book bases figures, not the movie ones. This wave might break me. Aside from Thanos' head, the BAF looks pretty cool.

DarthKamen · 02-01-2018, 07:25 AM

I....I like the whole wave. I'm in trouble, I was planning to originally get Iron Spider and Songbird and skip every thing else but I really like the way Cap looks, Iron Man looks to be a bit more articulated than the Civil War version, I just like about everything in Taskmasters design from cape to the broad sword, I love all the intricate details on Proxima and like the colors and scale pattern on Cobra.

Time to start saving I guess!

Yeah at this point it's so much ...that I'm only going to buy...EVERY DAMN FIGURE AVAILABLE!!!!..

GO hard or go home...And I'm not going home yet.

TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS
..and more TOYS!!!

Captain Nash · 02-01-2018, 07:40 AM

Decent wave, I actually like the Spider-Man but I don't need another Spider-Man. Will pass on him most likely. Songbird and Proxima Midnight for me for sure, on the fence on King Cobra. But I think it's a solid wave over all, it's way better than wave 2's rumored lineup.

lordbest · 02-01-2018, 07:40 AM

I'm going to be really tempted to buy them all if my local Toyworld has them.

Panther · 02-01-2018, 08:02 AM

I could be wrong, but it's looking more and more like Cull Obsidian aka Black Dwarf is going to be the BAF for Wave 2.

My biggest fear is a 2 Pack with this same Iron Man and a new figure. I love my MCU Legends, however, I'm trying to cut back on duplicates. With that being said, who am I kidding? I'll find somewhere to display it.

GizmoTron · 02-01-2018, 08:11 AM

I am happy I won't have to buy another Iron Man in order to complete Thanos, although ironically this one might be a bit improved over the last few Iron Man articulation wise.

Not disagreeing with you, but what clues/hints/rumors are leading you to that? I kinda thought the same until the rumored wave 2 line up included no more of the Black Order but I guess it's possible we'll get Corvus Glave and Ebon Maw next year. Damn but I want them all done now.

If it's not Black Dwarf then I'm really hoping it's Lockjaw. I'm not interesting the wave but those are two larger BAF I would absolutely buy on their own loose.

Hasbro has been KILLING IT with these new face sculpts.

Trivial Psychic · 02-01-2018, 08:28 AM

After seeing some additional pics on the Infinity War wave posted on Facebook a few minutes ago, I can't believe that Hasbro has finally done it. They have created a wave where I will be skipping nearly every single figure...

Iron Man MK48: Triangle arc reactor is back huh? I have the MK47, which is patterned off of my favorite Iron Man armor ever (the Ultimates) so I'm good.

Taskmaster: I was on board for this one initially, but for some reason, Hasbro changed the entire face sculpt from the one that was shown at Toy Fair last year. Why? Did Super 7 threaten to sue?

Songbird: I voted against her in the Hasbro poll every single time. Had no interest then, have no interest now. Though, the psi-effect might look good with Phoenix or the upcoming Psylocke.

Proxima Midnight: Uhh...who? Naw....I'm good.

Superior...ahem...I mean...Iron Spidey: I told myself only if he had the extra arms on the backpack. He doesn't...so therefore...easy pass.

King Cobra: The ONLY figure I'm excited for in the wave. If the way past Serpent Society members languished on shelves is any indication, I'm not expecting too difficult of a time picking him up.

Steve Rogers: This was actually one of the figures that I was most excited for, because I thought we would be getting a decent head sculpt of Chris Evans for once. After seeing the new close up pics, BOY did they miss the mark. It's awful. Does Hasbro not have the rights to Evans? It looks more like Andrew Garfield. What happened to the face printing tech? Looks like I will be digging around for a custom headsculpt somewhere.

Thanos BAF: Cool...they made a figure of what Joss Whedon would look like if he was cross bred with an eggplant. Awesome.

The headsculpt really sucks, and you know they most likely will give us a fully armored Thanos BAF in the future (cause...HASBRO!) so...why jump at this early?

Horrible...horrible wave. Hasbro is really making it easy to pinch my pennies this year. Guess I should be thanking them.

I have absolutely nothing to back it up, LOL. I was thinking who else it could be. Judging by the size of Cull Obisidan, it would make the most sense, however, there are other options. You brought up a good point about Corvus Glaive and Ebony Maw. While Avengers 4 will be a completely different film from Avengers: Infinity War, I do expect Thanos and his children to have the same presence. I would not be surprised if we don't get them until next year.

Which one are they killing it with...cause that looks NOTHING like Chris Evans...

They had one job with that figure, one job...and they failed it miserably...

EDIT:

Added a pic of the Eggplant Wizard as well...

I don't know... I don't think they are too far off - if they were going for the OTHER Chris Evans (British TV/Radio personality/producer):

donmeca2020 · 02-01-2018, 09:10 AM

The Walmart one is the comic/cartoon version. Essentially the previous BAF with a different paint job and hand.
