Dorksidetoys has the AIM 2 pack, Archangel, and Ultron up for preorder. I believe these were said to be timed exclusives for Gamestop and EE.

Professor X will come with his hover chair, and translucent piece to make it float, and a Cerebro helmet. They also said the chair would have come panels that open up on it too.

Dumb question, but can Charles come out of the chair?

Or I use the old figure as trade bait at my local comic shop while the price is still hot on EBay.. Knowing my luck I get another figure that gets re-released in 2020.

I think so. Professor X was standing when they first showed him on the slides for the X-Men wave. The chair also as a seam running down the front like it splits in two. For the 3.75" Marvel Universe figure, the hover chair also split down the center so that you could get him sitting in it.

What about 90's Colossus as the BAF?

Hercules looks great.

Another one I took the bait and bought the old figure. I’m digging the new look.

Yah and i hope warren follows the same trend. Bib wade though wasnt really a top tier deal...more like an extended one shot thing? Archangel on the otherhand is much more a core character in comparison plus hes in the 90’s jim lee era so..... time to gear up and beat down some scalpers.

Cosmo’s cosmic fire hydrant.

I like how they used Adam Warlock’s head for Warren’s unmasked head. I thought about doing that. I prefer the colors better on my old Archangel, so I won’t feel bad owning both. Hopefully I can find one of these purple-haired (does-the-carpet-match-the-drapes) Psylockes.

[Archangel]

Where can you purchase those clear bases they are using to display those figures?

I was thinking the same thing. Because '90s Gold Team.

Bishop's in the new Deadpool wave
Archangel's confirmed - and pre-ordered
Storm's being heavily teased

If it ends up being Colossus, we'd only need a new Iceman and Jean to finish up the Gold Team. Then Beast and Jubilee to round out the Blue Team.

'90s X-Men, ahoy!

Have fun, all!

[Archangel]

Hopefully it’s Beast. It only makes sense, unless it’s a villain. I’ll take a Shadow King, Mr. Sinister, or Nimrod.

So after being busy all day I come online and find that Hasbro's Marvel Legends reveal left a lot to be desired. Don't get me wrong, there were some truly awesome figures unveiled, but I'm sorely disappointed to learn that no Giant Size X-Men box set was announced (or at least a first appearance Storm or Nightcrawler if nothing else), nor is there going to be a Prof X/Classic Magneto 2 pack.

I'm also lamenting that no classic Vulture or Scorpion were revealed and that the Spider-Man wave is pretty crappy but I have to get the whole thing due to Kingpin.

Anyway, here are my initial thoughts on what was shown (in order of Hasbro's official images shown on Marvelousnews):

Hercules - Looks like a great figure, but I have no interest in the character.

Professor X - The hover chair looks amazing, but can he come out of it? Also, does he include a regular wheel chair too so we can have options? A must buy nonetheless, but I do hope he can be put into a regular wheelchair.

Black Cat - Don't know this design of hers, so I will probably stick to the one I have now despite the hip joints being awful. A great use of the Black Widow body mold though.

Kingpin - Sad he is missing his ascot, but looks freaking phenomenal. However, his face looks weird though as if he is a giant baby crying because he wet his diaper. Not a fan of the head sculpt, but I'm sure I will like it better in person. I'm just happy we are finally getting him though.

Carnage on Crack Thing - Yeah, don't know what the deal is with this guy, but he looks awful in my book. They should have switched him with Typhoid Mary as he belongs in the Venom wave. Wait, is he ripping his face off?

Silver Sable - I want to be excited for this figure, but something looks off to me and I don't know what. Also not a fan of her having the same terrible guns Domino had. Is it that hard to have people come with realistic looking weapons? Still, I'm happy we are getting her too.


Armored Symbiote Spider-Man (??) - Ooooooooooookay. Not sure why that is a thing. Would rather it had been the actual terrible 90s Armored Spider-Man, but sure, why not. Another figure going into the "To Eventually Sell Off" bin.

Age of Apocalypse Blink - On one hand, this is pretty cool, on the other, I really don't need figures from AoA. Notwithstanding, the sculpt does look pretty cool and I love the face.

Gambit - OH HELL FUCKING YES!!!!!!!! That is all.

Crossbones - Meh, looks terrible in my book. It's like they just took the Deathlok body and repainted it into the most simpliest thing they could. Total waste of a figure, but I'm assuming he is part of that Avengers wave that so far doesn't look all that impressive, so no big loss on my part.

Days of Future Past Set - Someone said this is an Amazon exclusive set, and if that is the case, that means it is going to be hella easy to purchase several of these sets over the course of a few months. Definitely going to try to get 3, though I believe these Sentinels are the same size as my Galactus, so I'm not sure how I'm going to display them in my Detolf without buying a new one. Wish there were some close up picks of the figures themselves though.

Aim Soldier 2 pack - Not interested in AIM. Wish they would do more Hydra Soldiers.

MCU Ultron - Already own the BAF one.

Miles and Spider-Gwen 2 pack - I already have their previous figures, so no interest in this set at all.

Vintage Black Panther - Pretty happy with my Walmart version that looks like BP came right out of his debut issues in Fantastic Four.

Vintage Hawkeye - At first I was excited but then I realized it's just a repaint of the Hawkeye figure I have no, just without the robot arm. The problem lies in that I absolutely hate the Hawkeye figure I have. He can't hold his bow or arrow properly, his quiver bag doesn't stay on, and the skirt/shoulder armor piece doesn't sit properly, so I'm probably going to pass.

Vintage Scarlet Spider - Already own the one from a few year's back, so I'm good. I'm not spending $20 for a blonde Peter head.

Vintage Vision - Definitely a must buy and he looks incredible. Though, why does Hasbro love giving Vision fists? I prefer him with open hands. Hell, the artwork on the box shows him with an open hand, so why not let us recreate that image? No idea what the Ultron head goes to though.

Archangel - OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!! Not only does he look friggin fantastic, but he comes with multiple heads, one of which is his Death head from when he was one of the Four Horsemen. HELL YEAH!!!! He is probably the highlight of the convention for me, though I heard he is a Gamestop exclusive, which means I will never seen him. -_- Well, I might when I go to the Mall of America when I'm in MN in April, but I'll never see him here in CO.

Magik - I already have this figure from the SDCC pack from a few year's ago, so I'm good. The additional accessories are cool, but I can't justify getting another one just for those. They should have done her 80s New Mutants look.

Well that seems to be all of the figures. Honestly, there was a lot to like, but at the same time, I feel this was the weakest SDCC showings to pass since I got into Marvel Legends.

We're getting Skullbuster instead of Maverick? Still no Squirrel Girl?

[SymbiSpidey]

Yeah, I'm really upset that we're going to see SKULLBUSTER before Banshee. C'mon Hasbro...
