New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

@nite I totally forgot to mention your Yvonne Strahovski comment! I was really bummed that she was not chosen for Captain Marvel - from what I hear she was on the "short list" but honestly, if they ever do an MCU Moonstone, I do not think they could cast a better choice.

I could have seen her for Emma as well though. and after the comment I made about the DPS hair and her age as supposedly portrayed there, I think Sharon Stone might have been best at the time lol.

@DarthKamen, that whole figure is ugly. She's the marvel legends equivalent of "journalists" who create entire news story off the twitter feeds of the entertainers they follow. Shallow and surreal in its ridiculousness. just IMO of course.

I like the character of Gwenpool, I just find the figure ugly.

Which is why I want that MAFEX....

anyone have a suggestion for material for the optic blast for cyclops?

My Spider-Verse minus a couple due to space. I got sick of keeping them in tubs, and finally motivated myself to setup the cave. Poster putty does a decent job of holding some of my more stubborn figures upright. Shitty angle to get everyone in the shot.

I'm not well-versed in the comic figures, what Black Cat figure is that?

Marvel legends Ultimate Green Goblin Baf Black cat. She’s apart of the amazing spiderman 2 legends wave.

Best option would be laser cut red acrylic. A flat clear beam effect part.

So they more or less confirmed a Captain Britain and the Black Knight movie that's been fast tracked into production. Bets on how much British hero love we will be getting from Hasbro? Besides hopefully a new Captain Britain i'm hoping we see some Excalibur love. (I wonder how that would fall in Hasbro's "No Avengers in the X-Men waves and vice versus" rules?) I'm thinking maybe a Morgan LeFay and Mordred? And hopefully a Union Jack.

Anyone need the Lizard arm from Spidey Noir?

Or the Vulture from the Ultimate Spider Man set?

As much as i dislike the foX-men stuff i have to admit did like toads look in xmen 1. They should upgrade him in this 10th anniversary line as i feel he works for both comic and mcu....at least to me.

I agree with you. Not the part about disliking the fox-men but toad's look. Normally I'm a classic looks type of guy but this is one where the upgrade was a huge improvement over classic.

He did have that look for a short time in the comics (around when the first X-Men movie came out) but he's since become closer to his classic look, though not quite as campy.

Not exactly right but not wrong either. Hope isn't actually a part of the Summers/Grey lineage but is instead adopted by Cable into the family, her real parents weren't anybody special if I recall correctly. On the subject of her background, I think her only really big deal was that she was the first new mutant born post M-day and that for whatever reason then opposing views (Cable vs Bishop) saw her either as a new messiah figure for mutants or a world-ending monster to be which needed stopping. Of course she just coincidentally then looks like a member of the Grey family and has the same basic powers, certainly that wasn't just lazy character design.

I just came back from the last 5 below in town and all they had left were star Lord from the GOTG wave. That damn $5 Gamora is elusive haha.
Anyway What’s everyone expecting/hoping for at nycc?
