New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

Just got my sugarman wave in and man these figs look fantastic. Even lil gangly wild child is kinda cool. I will say while dark beast is pretty damn boss My Winner for the wave is Nate Grey. Yeah he has that energy thing on his eye but thats nothing a headswap and some paint cant fix and even with that i just flat out love the fig. I have been waiting for an x-man fig since legends debuted and im happy as hell to finally have one. Bring on guido and the rest of the Strong Guy wave.

Oops, I meant Sage wasn't in Inferno.

Also, Kain, you might recognize Tessa/Sage from her Hellfire days

Oh, she's Black Queen, right?

Benn Roe · 06-10-2020, 01:51 PM

No, she was more of an assistant to Sebastian Shaw. You're thinking of Selene.

Captain Nash · 06-10-2020, 01:56 PM

Confusing Tessa with Selene is easy, just remember one's a vastly powerful but underused villain and one is an escort turned retcon spy. And now my head hurts.

But seriously i"ll give the advice that some certain members here give. There's always google and wikipedia.

Same product, just different colors? Right up Hasbro's alley! Decepticon jets, Autobot datsuns, My Little Pony, GI Joe parts... the list goes on and on. Add on to that some sort of "store exclusive" and they can add an additional 10%+ profit!

Nice shot. Are those boots a new piece?

Thanks HasFan!
Yeah- boots on Ms.marvel are the only new piece- so she does stand a little taller. Other than that it's just the color- it's a little more subdued on the new one.

@Bo Ttef, I don't know how you do it but it's awesome. There's always so much emotion coming from your photos even when the figures have a bland expression. Keep up the awesome work.

Man, was at the second closest Walmart to me today and they still didn't have a single Marvel figure. And I don't mean just Marvel Legends, I mean ANY Marvel figures. They're Marvel pegs have been cleaned out for weeks.

Well the sculpt is far superior on the new one, but I actually prefer the evil Winter Soldier face of the old one since I like my WS being a bad guy.
