Really? I've never seen Forge be anything but an overly serious louse. As such, I think the face fits his dead inside personality.

Could be he just farted and is trying to play it cool.

No offense Dr Kain. but you and I have not had any good interactions through the years. Not a one. They have always ranged from mildly contentious (like this one) - at best, to deliberately and egregiously offensive - at worst. Which is fine, shit happens. However, I'm not inclined to rap with you and engage in pretend. I have no intention to block you, but know moving forward directing commentary to me will be as much of a waste of time as reading this shit has been! lol

Forums are the place to bounce ideas off of each other, and whether that’s a soft serve in a game of badminton or a volleyball spike to your face, I think it’s important to remember we are discussing little plastic play things.

I love the X Men Wave so much. I want them all, except for that terrible Wolverine. That extra head is awful, and I hope we never see it again. I’ll just give Jubilee a couple Dazzler effects and she’ll be set, that portal effect has me sold on Blink, I love the extra Reaver head (especially with Nuke still affordable), Forge is passable and Gambit and Beast are absolutely perfect in my opinion. I want to buy a case, but I’ll probably just buy them one by one, I’m not a huge fan of the BAF.

The newspaper is just an image that I found on Google Images and printed out. I cut it out in a long strip and folded the excess up behind the cover so that it has some "pages" like a real newspaper.

Looking great, man!

SymbiSpidey · 01-19-2019, 02:21 AM

It's crazy, because Hasbro tends to frontload the X-Men waves, but the Spider-Man waves tend to have a lot of filler and it takes forever for us to get desired characters.

Realistically speaking, we could see the core Jim Lee/90s X-Men lineup done by 2020 in era-accurate costumes and everything. Hell, maybe even by the end of this year. After that, I imagine they'll focus their efforts on some of the spinoff teams like X-Force and X-Factor, and probably get around to doing more 70s/80s stuff.

But with Spider-Man, we've got a lot of holes that don't seem like they're going to get filled anytime soon (shoo, Nitelife!)

hasbroherofan · 01-19-2019, 02:51 AM

The front loading of the X-Men likely stems from them initially being restricted to a single wave per year, whereas Spidey always has at least two.

Marvel Legends celebrates MARVEL's 80th Anniversary with an EXTRAVAGANZA! | The Fwoosh

So we’re getting a Marvel 80th anniversary line in the vein of the MCU anniversary stuff. Classic Alex Ross versions of Iron Man and Thor will be available, as will classic Hulk vs Wolverine and MCU Ghost & Luis and Korg & Grandmaster two-packs.

Augustus_Cole · 01-19-2019, 04:48 AM

YESSSS at an MCU Korg figure!!!... cause next to Heimdall...those were my top two wanted MCU figures.
Wasn't a huge fan of the grandmaster...but I'll take em"!!..and Ghost, that a percentage of the masses have been clamoring for. It's gonna be another Legends heavy year.

now..the question is (with all these comic AND MCU anniversary figures coming out) do i have the patience to wait till they inevitably end up on sale..(probably not..but i can try)

The article says this stuff should be out around late summer. If that's the case, then I'll hold out until the holidays to pick up most of this stuff. I got seriously burned by going all in on the Marvel 10th Anniversary figures when they were first released.

And Luis? I'm not complaining but seriously, was anyone asking for this figure? Any chance Hasbro will be bold enough to put him in casual wear rather than a suit?

There's also going to be a Colossus vs Juggernaut 2-pack. Is this all reliable information, because it sounds waaaaay too good to be true?

If so, holy shit I want literally everything on this list and I don't know how my wallet will survive. Although what exactly does "Alex Ross" Iron-Man and Thor entail? I know he has a very specific art-style, but I'm not sure how Hasbro is going to translate that to a toy other than....making everything shiny or something?

As far as the Colossus vs Juggernaut thing goes, seems like Hasbro will be double-dipping yet again....at the very least, I'm hoping they give Juggernaut a head without the helmet, especially since we have that Professor X coming in a few months.

don't be silly...
they always need to rehash something...cheapest way out ...just make a headsculpt and slap it on another rehashed suit buck..BOOM!! a new 2 pack

and HELL NO...no one wanted a damn Luis figure..lol

SymbiSpidey · 01-19-2019, 07:57 AM

Luis is for sure an odd figure. I probably would have preferred a Janet Van Dyne figure.....maybe even T.I. because the thought of him having a Marvel action figure is hilarious to me.

But c'mon....Luis is about as important to the Ant-Man movies as Pepper is to the Iron-Man movies....it kinda feels right lol

jmurray90720 · 01-19-2019, 08:00 AM

Glad to see the Wolverine vs Hulk from my wishlist come to fruition. Also, a Juggernaut rerelease! Yay! I’m assuming the Colossus will be the classic version, but if it ends up being Colossonaut I’ll wait until it’s on clearance. Great news!

Um... okay... why are you getting so offensive? I was just making a joke. Lighten up dude.

All I meant was that I've always see Forge be a serious character and his face looks like he is a serious character.

SymbiSpidey · 01-19-2019, 08:14 AM

Oh shit....I just had a thought.

This 80th Anniversary line could very well include a Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends 3-pack, which would finally give us Firestar, classic Iceman and a Ditko-inspired Spider-Man. Tell me this wouldn't be the perfect place to put it! If they're doing a Hulk vs Wolverine 2-pack, surely nothing is stopping X-Men characters from showing up alongside other heroes anymore.

True. If it has to be a suit, then can it at least be a different body type than Coulson? From what I understand, the Captain Marvel Nick Fury is noticeably taller than Coulson. If that's the case then I want Luis to be shorter and stockier than Coulson.

Okay one last time for the obtuse. I'm not offended by whatever your opinion of Forge is. Your hot takes normally miss the mark in my estimation and I stopped reading your comments long ago. What I take offense to is you thinking you have any cachet with me at all and your attempt to engage me in conversation. You’ve represented yourself to be a contemptible person at every turn of nearly every interaction we have ever had. You called Forge a “louse” without any self-awareness. Project much? Anyway, I’m not mad at you I’m simply being candid. I was done giving you the benefit of the doubt over a year ago. Your words - start with comment #29:

http://www.toyark.com/marvel-legends...-177462-page2/

Keep in mind that was just the interaction between you and I that sealed the deal, there were a bevy of instances prior, not to mention all the nonsense I’ve seen you shovel at others. You can be that guy, that’s your prerogative, I’m just not interested in rewarding poor behavior. Again, no offense, I’ve just got nothing for you…

DarthKamen · 01-19-2019, 11:34 AM

Well...that was something.

But Ghost!...with a Michael Pena figure? Well it can wait for a sale. Would have bought day one if it were Pym.

Hulk vs. Wolvie: Glad for those who wanted it at least.

Juggie vs. Colossus: I mean yay? I'm glad to get a costume I prefer on Colossus and even more glad to get a hard to obtain BAF re-released but...dang I wish knew this back before I bought the Select.

Korg and Grandmaster is cool, wait for sale though.

My goodness! Comic classic Hulk and Wolverine and Juggernaut and Colossus, hell and yeah, yaw!

Note: Now I want to see if they use new all new parts for Hulk, if not, will pass and wait for the S. H. Figurarts comic Hulk to come on and pass on this set entirely...I think the Juggernaut and Colossus will be the stars of these sets...

The Amazing 3 pack sounds nice, but another Pizza repaint, Firestar repaint and Iceman repaint...sigh. Maybe Iceman as many hated the Legends release but do we really need another Pizza Spidey. Hasbro needs a new buck for Spidey. That long torso, short legs and lack of articulation is a hideous injustice for a Spidey figure.

Hulk 2 pack sounds nice in theory if it's a new Sculpt....maybe multiple heads.....but this is Hasbro....

As always with legends, I will keep the expectations low, especially with their comic figures.

80th anniversary is a nice way to release these I guess...but I expect the higher price points for 2 packs to be a recurring theme.

Augustus_Cole · 01-19-2019, 01:02 PM

damn....had that sh*t chambered...but you know...they can't shoot if you don't give them ammo...
but when your an ammo supply dump what ya gonna do..
albeit an oblivious one

Dr Kain · 01-19-2019, 01:05 PM

I went to a Walgreens today and they had Human Torch, Green Goblin, Ms Marvle, Shocker, Speed Demon, and 22 Namors.

No Magick and no Star Wars general dude.

I did pick up a Ross/Killmonger pack from Target though and put the Peter Parker head on the Ross body. Parker's head is a little bit bigger than I'd like, but then again, so is Ross'. Now I Just need to find a camera with a strap that I can put around his neck.
