I think the Hasbro Spidey have mostly been trashy...and I am probably in the minority in my thinking, but he cannot crouch in his 3-4 pt stance well and has trouble with the splits.

For me it is def the crouching characters like Spiderman. I tend to use toybiz Spiderman figures more just for this reason alone. Wolverine could use toe articulation as well since he seems to always be in some sort of squatting pose.

i for one am glad that legend figures are coming out back to back, why are people complaining?

DarthKamen · 02-06-2018, 05:17 PM

Because our wallets are hurting.

Pretty much this. I don't mind all the stuff being available (or at least known), but it all hitting so rapid-fire makes it hard to pick up all the things you want when you have the money, without some of it risking the chance of not seeing it again.

At least this one's currently at a sale price.

3 waves (4 if you count BP) = 150 × 3
2 Legendary Riders = 40 x 2
Exclusive figures = 20 x 2
Exclusive 2 packs = 40 x 1

If you are a completionist, it's brutal.

Even if you cherry pick, it starts to add up. Not everyone has that sort of disposable income.

This is also how things end up getting overstocked, and end up creating situations where the line ends up self cannibalizing. This in turn creates a situation where things end up peg warming, forcing retailers to think twice about ordering new stock. This has happened with Star Wars toys over the last 4 years (where TFA and R1 toys STILL flood the shelf along with TLJ,) as well as briefly with Legends just a few years ago when the Hulkbuster, Thanos, Hobgoblin, and Ultron waves all released within a few weeks of one another.

Hasbro had paced themselves a bit better after that fiasco, but they are running the risk of repeating those mistakes of 2015 again. Hopefully they slow down the pace a bit with the Venom wave going forward.

Quick question, is the vintage pizza Spidey a good replacement for the original, even with the lack of alternate hands? I already have the Ultimate Spider-Man figure and I didn't think his smaller size would bug me but it kind of does.

If the lack of alternate hands really doesn’t bother you, then yes. Also, the paint on the vintage figure is a matte while the original figure used gloss which doesn’t look as good on SM.

Step one, find a shit load of desperate pill heads
Step two, tell them u heard that a certain Walgreens has so many oxys they can’t fit them in the safe, just boxes and boxes sitting behind the pharmacy counter, and there camera is out
Step three, hang out until the inevitable Robbery
Step four, in the insuring madness grab as many legends as you can and blot for the door

Hadn't thought about the finish yet so thanks for pointing that out.

DarthKamen · 02-06-2018, 07:37 PM

For me, I still want some older Legends, I want the whole IW wave, Ghost Rider. Not to mentioned I'm now hyped for Solo so that's a wave of figures....and the Legacy Golden Power Staff looks great.....

I need more money.

That look's good! Keeping fingers crossed Hasbro doesn't drop the ball on the 4th member of the team. That is my most anticipated reveal of the entire ML panel.

Dont have that either of them. Then they would be really small when I post them. I use a PC all the time here I dont use a Phone. So they look just fine on a PC

Tomax · 02-06-2018, 10:53 PM
