No thats not the one.

The one that I am talking about its the Sandman build a figure from Marvel Legends that had these figures:
Green Goblin
Ms Marvel
Jackal
Spider-Man UK
Symbiote Spider-Man

That Sandman build a figure it didnt look that great anyway because of the stupid looking clunky sand hand/weapons. I just didnt like the look of it

At this point I have no idea what you're talking about. Is there some alternate universe one you're talking about that came out a decade ago because the one you just referenced is from 2017. As in 4 years ago.

99% sure the guy is just a troll like Tomax, best to ignore and move on

newer Marvel Legends Sandman looks much better anyway. That is my opinion.

The figure has normal human hands and normal head.

Like I said before I do not like the sand weapon shaped "Hands" from the previous one from years ago

The trick with the BAF Sandman was to use BAF Absorbing Man's hands. You'd need a little paint for his right hand but it works.

I used the absorbing man wood and stone arms and painted the colored areas sand and matches the green on the shoulders of sand man and i had sand colored arms at normal preportions.

Dorkside just ship the Build a Bear wave. Looking forward to putting the drunk bear together.

[redfox]

Speaking of the Build-a-Bear, I've just finally got around to finishing off this guy.

What about Xamot?

[Captain Nash]

I feel like I should be hovering over my email awaiting an email from Dorkside about Darkstar and Ultron yet at the same time I'm fine if I don't make the first round of shipments. I guess i just want to know where my order stands lol - soon or weeks down the road.

OR maybe his subconscious couldn’t come to grips with the fact they were still using those busta ass ball hips in 2017 and thusly edited his conscious memory to make it make sense.

For my money, easy pass on Sandman. The baf is still quite nice despite those useless joints.


A moment of silence for Tomax. It’s hardly worth browsing these forums any more without the excitement of knowing his ignorant posts could give me an aneurysm at any moment.

I suspect that will be the basic thought process most people go through with this Sandman. People like me who don't have the BAF will find the new offering more appealing whereas people that have the BAF are more likely to see it as money saved.

[TheBlueMarvel]

I like that Crimson Dynamo BAF, especially given how faithful the interpretation is - outside of the thighs. But I'm not very familiar with this version and, as per usual, I'm not inclined to insert this more modern and obscure Dynamo into a 'classic' Soviet Super Soldier line up - the look they appear to be going for with the rest of the team.

Curious decisions aside, if Hasbro wasn't going to go for the more recognizable Dimitri or something more classic:



I would have preferred that they remake the armor Valentin wore:



That fig is one of my more favorite old figs and now that they've made a modular Iron Man (in the wrong color - ready for modular IM 2.0?) at least this version would offer an era specific adversary:







@Nash

If you preordered the day of the reveal, as I did, I'm confident you'll likely get a notification soon.

[Thor Laserpunch]

I have been quietly expecting classic Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man for a minute now. A 3-pack with an articulated Gremlin fig would tick a few boxes off for me.

Hopefully they’ll pad out the Iron Man rogues gallery a bit with a retro wave or 2. I know I’m not the only one waiting with bated breath for Blacklash, Melter, new Blizzard & Living Laser, etc.

I could really use a mount for Dreadknight also. Js Hasbro.

[Shinzero02]

I'd like a Galina Crimson Dynamo. Preferably the walking-tank suit as a BAF loosely based on Sugar Man's mold, but I'd also go for the traditional power-armor suit she wore later.

Mythic Legions and JXK.Studio have put out several 1/12 horse options that might work for a Dreadknight mount. Kinda pricey though. The horse alone costs about as much as a Marvel Rider/Vehicle figure plus an extra Legends figure at MSRP.

To be fair, Darkstar and Ursa Major look the same in virtually every era of the team, so I think they’ll fit in with whatever.

I mean there’s nothing at all wrong with it, especially for $22, but he definitely is all around softer and reads “toonier” to me. Same basic reasons retro Goblin will not replace my Toy Biz version.

I thought similarly about MODOK, but the color choices pop better on the shelf on the deluxe figure and I do appreciate the improved articulation, multiple display options, and accessories storage.

Considering the price tag on Dreadknight himself, that’s not too bad. I’ll have to check them out. Gracias.

[MeLikeJinx]

I only bought Winter Soldier and was waiting for the rest of the BW wave to go on deep clearance so I could build that BAF, but like all of a sudden every MCU Taskmaster was bought up from all my Gamestops... so strange. Before that only Winter Soldier and BW were kinda hard to find there.

[hasbroherofan]

Given his relative obscurity I doubt they bother to make a steed for Dreadknight. But what I could see happening is them eventually making a more dedicated horse mount for a more popular character like Valkyrie or Black Knight, and maybe eventually doing a redeco. I know Valkyrie had been mentioned as a potential Ultimate Rider candidate in the past.

Given his size and lack of potential reuse, I think the most likely way Titanium Man is released is as a BAF. It's why I can sympathize with some IM fans who were upset with Ursa Major being the BAf here, especially since we don't get Iron Man waves very often.

I've brought it up before, but Diamond is making a Select Titanium Man which will probably work well with Legends too since Boris has been pretty damn big at different times.

Only CD version I want is this one! And not as a BAF either, slightly smaller than Colossus too.

You know damn well I’d be fine with either!
