New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

I can already foresee a shitload of those Cap/Crossbones packs returned with some crummy WWE figure in the place of Crossbones and the Giant Man BAF wave Cap/ Civil War 3-pack Cap swapped in for the newer better version...

100% guarantee this will happen at the $50 price point... unless they use Vintage style packaging. Probably a lot of packs with just a missing or replaced Chris Evans head too.

MU is dead for sure and 3.75" fully articulated SW is near death even with the Vintage line coming back. I'm still hopeful for Joes though since a 3rd Joe movie is coming. Hasbro has never let a Joe movie happen without figures before and Joes are mainly known for their articulation, so I'm not really worried about 5PoA Joes becoming a thing either.

I hope they bring the Joe's back, i have some holes in my 25th/30th anniversary figures I need to fill.

You're right. I should've written an 8 paragraph rant about how his height isn't correct to how Steve Ditko drew him in Amazing Spider-Man #85 and how modern artists don't pay attention to the guidebooks while everyone smiles and nods.

And then complained about kids being on my lawn.

Someone did a review of the Legends Gauntlet.

Shorten the lower legs

Quick question, does anyone know how the new 12 inch Legends scale with the older Marvel Legends Icons figures?

Colossus looks way better at that height. Tell 'em they did a bang-up job!

Jeddostotle7 · 02-14-2018, 12:15 AM

As I mentioned in the 10th Anniversary MCU Legends thread, I'm not all that worried about the $25 premium pricetag being a sign of a price hike for the line in future. Something similar happened with Star Wars: The Black Series recently, where in the last Fans Choice Poll, Hasbro asked if fans would be ok with paying $25 for special premium figures with more complex paint jobs or more accessories, and then they released the TRU exclusive Clone Commander Gree, who had a more complex paint job, for $25. Since it first came out in July, there hasn't been a price increase for that line. Similarly, I'm not that worried about these premium MCU figs being a sign of things to come for the line as a whole, price-wise.

You might wanna ask the 12" Marvel Legends thread about that.

I actually like parademon but that was just too funny. Lol

Marvel Lengends Infinity War figures are up on Amazon - note: these are in stock at the moment but through a third party seller, hence the higher prices. It's good for adding to wishlist though. I'm not willing to pay more than $25 each for the two I want before shipping, but at least I can monitor them until they hit that price.

I'd take one, unless he shows up in the next movie with a full costume alongside Scorpion, then I'll take that one.

The weird thing is that there was a full costume, but those scenes were cut from Homecoming for whatever reason.

Was that ever confirmed? I saw the supposed set pics but I never heard if they were real. There was also that 5POA Shocker with a costume but I figured that was just made to sell toys haha

Finally was able to track down a Marvel Select Iron Patriot bootleg for a solid price, and I'm semi-convinced this was originally intended as a legit release (perhaps a Disney store exclusive?) 'cause it just looks and feels exactly like a real Select!

Looks nice. Is that a new sculpt?

Got everything I wanted out of that wave taken care of...
