I think it's the ammo belt/jacket thing that goes around his waist that is throwing you off.

Do you think it might be an upscaled G.I. Joe?

If it has a rubber band then yes haha. I doest seem like it but once a full review is done we should no more.

So looking at the announcement:

Quote:

For ten years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been bringing the mightiest and most beloved characters to life on the big screen. In commemoration of this incredible cinematic collection of the worlds greatest super heroes and super villains, Hasbro has partnered with Marvel Studios to create the Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years line for Marvel Legends, including premium figures from across the MCUs most patriotic, mystical, Hulk-busting, and dance-worthy blockbuster hits. Collect Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years Marvel Legends figures to build the ultimate MCU collection!

So I'm guessing that means we're finally getting Ronan?

[Trivial Psychic]

Outside of a few specialty collector's clubs, Star Wars (which is seemingly fading fast) and smaller sized Transformers...3.75" scale figures with Hasbro is DEAD. It sucks, because I used to collect G.I.Joe and Universe figures, but it is what it is. The name Marvel Legends is still the banner for the brand, which is carried by it's line of 6 inch figures.

That said, these are 6 inch figures, it's just that the Crossbones has either a bad mock up, or bad sculpting. With Hasbro these days, pick your poison.

I'm glad to see that they are finally getting around to improving some of the older figures, as the two heads that come with Cap are dynamite, especially when compared with past efforts, and the Crossbones isn't too shabby either (although it's 2 years too late for me to get really excited about.) I'm just hoping that the figure is able to hold an assault or sniper rifle properly with all that gear on his chest.

It's funny though, I look at this two pack, and I see more of a kitbash fodder kit than anything truthfully. I could very easily see the Rumlow head being used for a decent MCU version of Jigsaw, while the two Cap heads will be replacing the heads of older MCU Cap figures. Kind of pisses me off that while not perfect, the likeness to this two pack version is so much better than the upcoming Infinity War version, which I only want for the updated body sculpt. Why did Hasbro lowball that attempt?

I'm also sitting here trying to think what I can use to make an MCU Shocker as well, since the gauntlets in the film were ones that were stolen from Damage Control by Vulture and his crew in "Homecoming."

[hasbroherofan]

Speaking of kitbashing, does anyone think maybe Hasbro could reuse that gauntlet accessory for Shocker?

Nah Man...we're getting this guy...



And long overdue. Us OG's have been waiting for a proper update to that horrible Legends version of him for a long time!

They should. It's the same exact gauntlet Crossbones used in Civil War.

I'm sure they mean a new version of Star Lord. And then I'll say...not my thing but that's great for all those people who missed out and were asking for a new....no. F that. I can't make that stick. Not with an MCU Star Lord figure, not after last year.

I think it'll be EGO with two slightly different heads

[BLP]

Sooooooo excited for the MCU wave!!!!! Thank you Hasbro!!!!!

My guesses given what we know:
Guess - #1 Odin from THR1
Guess - CA1 is #2 Red Skull
#3 Mark 7 from Avengers
Guess - #4 Mandarin from IM3
Guess - THR2 is #5 Heimdall
Guess - #6 Ronan from GG1
Guess - #7 Quicksilver and/or Hawkeye frm AVN2
Guess(barely) - AMN1 is #8 Yellowjacket
#9 Captain America
#9 Crossbones
Guess - AVN3 is #10 Collector with all kinds of 'premium' $tuff (possibly even Howard) OR Antman and Wasp

I only hope the 'premium' name and price translates to the toys well. I mean moving flaps are ok but not quite premium. Ronans hammer better light up. Most of them will just have large detailed armor and good head sculpts to get those dollars i imagine. Red Skull might have a goofy dio piece. Quicksilver a decent sized running effect. I would like a Paul Rudd head more than i care to admit. But that doesnt need to be in the premium line.

[VashTS]

I think well get Trevor for sure.
I'm trying to take educated guesses based on popularity.
Yellowjacket
Trevor
Ronan
Quicksilver
Deadpool[ Rumors of Ryan Reynolds from JC]
Heimdall
Red Skull
Winter Soldier
Logan[Surprise for fans]
War Machine/iron Patriot
Ultron redone
Anthony Hopkins

[DarthKamen]

I'm sure they mean Cap when they say Patriotic.....but I'd love if it were an updated Iron Patriot. I love that design.

That would be a great line up!

[BLP]

Ohhhhh I hope that mark 7 comes with an unpacked version like the mark 5 came with the suitcase

[kylactus]

Maybe this is the reason for the slam of ML figures lately. Announce a bunch of MCU series at toyfare for the next couple quarters with redesigned packaging and a focus on MCU instead of the mixed waves we’ve seen? Just thinking out loud... damn that crossbones is driving me nuts, wish something was in the pic for scale...

Hahaha, so true.

[Tomax]

its a pass for me on those cap & crossbones MCU figs

[redfox]

I know it's a long shot, but I really want MCU versions of Peggy Carter and Pepper Potts released from this MCU anniversary series.

[Sender]

Gotta admit, the price creep for 'premium' was surprising, though better than Mattel's price hike.

Though i dig that they are MCU focused as well as the new Crossbones figure.

Given than ML was geared for collectors, i assumed they were already 'premium' Hasbro quality comparatively.

That said, $25 may be the new $20 for a Marvel Legend by the end of the year or so.

From your lips to the Gods' ears.

[kylactus]

I’ll do 25, but they better up there game, no more of this 5 of the same Star lord, or repacking peg warmers with all new figures, and reusing bodys over and over and over... Red, Peggy has been on the top of my list, along with dum dum Dugan for a wile now, just wondering what look would you go with for her? I’m thinking the military look from the end of the movie. That and a cap with his pre costume look, leather jacket, blue helmet, scalloped shield. Now that’s a two pack...

Good luck with that one, Hasbro is the Kings of reuse and recycle when it comes to their toys. All $25 will get you if they go that route is the same figures that we are getting now. Crazy to think this line started out at $9 retail and that included big bases and a comic/poster.

[kylactus]

I wonder if they’ll still have BAFs? I’m also thinking, as I have not payed retail for a legends figure sence the x men wave, I have found nearly everything in the 9-12 dollar range, on clearance, discount, or sale and very few figures are hard to find anymore is the new higher price just to allow the stores to put them on “sale” and still not taking a hit?
