New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

I was referring to a movie version of vision which I thought looked pretty good and would translate very well to figure form

After doing photo comparisons to the MS hulkbuster and the legends hulkbuster, i think it's safe to say the legends hulkbuster beats out the MS version size wise....

i dont see the need of a new hulk buster , fair enough if you need a one lucky you XD, especially movie styled, though the comic one seems to fit in nicely either way , just down to personal opinion.
This is what i have with comic and movie based together

I only collect movie figures but the MS HB is pretty nice!

I agree...but I will get the new BAF since I want most of the figs in the wave.

Cobbled and hacked together a Netflix Daredevil today, with a D'onofrio Kingpin to go with him coming soon. Boots aren't show accurate, but it's filmed so dark that the costume details can be open to interpretation.

Isn't the one in that wave the movie version? He looks the same.

Comparing the Select line to Hasbro's is like comparing DCC's line to Mattel, there just isn't any comparison. Hasbro and Mattel are vastly superior.

Anyway, I picked up Electro and Beetle at TRU today. I was thinking about getting Boomerang instead, but he had a lot of missing paint on his chest and Beetle just looks like a cooler figure all together.

The Spider-Man is pretty cool and I love that his legs can move sideways unlike the classic one.

Beetle's design makes him stand out, but I know next to nothing about the character.

Electro is not a bad toy, but I really hate this design. I hope we get a real Electro soon.

Hulk Goblin is a cool figure, this Green Goblin this is NOT!! I can never except this abomination as the Goblin. Actually, maybe I'll just use him as Abomination or as a demon sent to take out Ghost Rider. :-) OH yeah, and his flames suck ass. They can't even stay attached for more than a minute.

I will also be getting it....not becouse of the figs...oonly really want the iron man warmachine and vision....bbut becouse my collection is movie based

Dr Kain · 05-03-2015, 09:34 PM

Don't forget Strange, who is hands down the best figure in the wave.

That's the 'Marvel Now!' Vision. His current comic design.
The movie one, if they make him, would need sculpted in details to better emphasize his movie aesthetic. The comic one can be a basic buck with painted details using a new head and cape.

As for Hulk Goblin, that's the Ultimate Spider-Man comics Green Goblin. Same to the Electro and Beetle. They aren't the 616 versions. Well Electro might be the newest 616 Electro, but who can really keep up with all the Movie influenced 616 character changes these days. Hobgoblin on the other hand is the current 616 Hobgoblin as seen over in Spider-Island.

Beetle is like Boomerang. He's pretty much an anyone's villain. He has no set hero that he belongs to. In particular, I think he's also in that same 80s Spidey story that has Boomerang. He's fought Ironman and Avengers before, but more often yeah, I think he mostly tangles with Spider-man. He's not major league enough for the big leagues, but not minor enough for the normal street heroes. This version in particular though is from the Ultimate Comics Spider-man stories.

Dr Kain · 05-03-2015, 10:49 PM

Yeah, I know Hulk Goblin is from teh Ultimate universe, but it still doesn't make him the Green Goblin. Hopefully Hasbro gives us a real Green Goblin figure in the wave that will come after Rhino.

matt3223 · 05-04-2015, 04:08 AM

yes strange as well

Dr Kain · 05-04-2015, 08:48 AM

How is the original costumes X-Me 5 pack?

Zorn88 · 05-04-2015, 10:07 AM

This is my rendition of the Netflix proto-devil.

Hawkguy · 05-04-2015, 10:20 AM

Any idea when the Age of Ultron Amazon exclusive four pack is coming out? I have the strongest of needs for that Hawkeye figure since I passed up the original Walmart exclusive way back after the first movie.

It's an ok set but I'd only recommend it if you can find it on clearance and are either a fan of the original X-Men or a fan of the book All New X-Men.

Yes, I really hope they make it with this uniform because there is a Scarlet Spider but with the red/light blue costume which by the way is coming to 6' in the upcoming ML waves.

3233rafael · 05-05-2015, 04:41 AM

^ Everybody knows these are the upcoming waves or series right?

ChuckSass · 05-05-2015, 04:54 AM

ugh, I wish Thundra was Titania! I'm certain she's gonna peg warm.

I also think we could have had Misty/Valkyrie swap which would be "Fearless Defenders" and then White Tiger could have swapped Spider-Gwen or Silk.

Finally, if anyone has an extra Hellcat, I'd like to purchase one off em to make Greer Grant aka "THE CAT"

I would also like a Titania, I said as much when they first announced the line. However, I want Titania in addition to Thundra...they're both characters that I like with relationships to Thing and Absorbing Man which could make for some cool pics. I don't see Thundra peg warming. Female figs seem to sell well and custom makers will likely use Thundra to make other power-house females like Titania, Power Princess, Angela, Wonder Woman, Amazons, Asgardian Valkyries, etc...

M.O.D.O.K. appreciation...

Atlas you could use the old macfarlane head and it would still work. I also Feel like Angela could pop up in waves, Marvel seems to love that they have her now… as do i

Dr Kain · 05-05-2015, 05:55 AM

Strange, why they don't have the dude Ant-Man is fighting in the movie trailer?
