Official Fwoosh 2022 Top Ten Marvel Legends Poll Results

Nice to see four of my picks hit the top ten. Also, I'm surprised but in the utmost happy/excited way that Titania hit so high on the list!!

Well, I wasnt goinf to get Sleepwalker, but there he was at Target, so I grabbed him.

Pretty great figure.

When do you think the next Marvel Legends live stream is going to be?

He is, I just wish he was in his proper scale and they didn't glue his hood to his head. I want to recreate his Spider-Man costumed look for a picture or two, but I guess I'll have just have to do them with the hood on. However, it is Sleepwalker, so beggars can't be choosers since this is probably the only figure we will ever get of him.

You know, he's actually the only character I've picked up so far that I know next to nothing about, my only real exposure to him having been a Marvel Universe trading card (series 3, I think? Had the celestial borders) and maybe an appearance in a random issue of something I got in one of those Costco bulk packs, but his design always appealed to me. Perhaps with comics being as accessible as they are online these days, I ought to do a bit of reading. That's of course why I was on the fence.

From a purely superficial standpoint, he's pretty good. Mine does have a somewhat gummy left knee though.

I don't remember much about the comics other than really loving his design and concept. I would totally buy an omnibus if they decided to release his run (I think it was only like 20 issues).

I also picked up a Sleepwalker over the weekend. He's neat. I feel like I remember him being able to change his size or something. I want to say I remember him being skinny and ghoulish at one point. That may have been cool for a figure. I may also be waaaaay off with that.

hasbroherofan · 02-10-2022, 11:24 AM

Marvelousnews claims a deluxe Mojo is in the works for this year.

Yeah, his default size was 7 feet and was very lanky. He bulked up a bit later and I think shrunk his size down to match other heroes he worked with, specifically Spider-Man and Darkhawk.

EvilMonkeyPope · 02-10-2022, 07:22 PM

I'm not sure why they sculpted a new head for Walgreens Baron Zemo when the previous one still holds up. I would've preferred they made him new boots with the lines etched in.

Looks as though Pulse is shipping Retro Loki early.

I'm sure it will be made available at least one more time. What I'd like to come around again are the hellfire goons. One of mine suffered from a shorn shoulder peg right out of the damn box.

It seems like Mr. Mojo's rising.

Please gods give us outback longshot for shitssake!

MeLikeJinx · 02-12-2022, 03:52 PM

If Mojo is coming this year, then Longshot cannot be too far behind... but since we are probably only getting the one X-wave... maybe he will be on a fan channel retro card.

Enough of the fan channel garbage already. Longshot is an essential character so no exclusivity on him please.

Honestly in my experience fan channel stuff has been easier to get than specific general retail releases since every online store carries them as well as finding them at Gamestop and Best Buy.

I'm okay with fan channel stuff because it means everyone is going to carry it.

WallySparks · 02-12-2022, 10:59 PM

I hope the people working for Hasbro do realize that Longshot has like 3 or 4 fingers on each hand

Huh?

WallySparks · 02-13-2022, 12:27 AM

Longshot in the old X-Men comics he had 3 or 4 fingers on each hand. He was an alien/mutant.

I said the people working in Hasbro they should realize this and not screw it up if they are making a Longshot action figure

En Sabah Nerd · 02-13-2022, 02:59 AM

They got Longshot's hands right on the MU figure and in the Legends line they did Beta Ray Bill's hands correctly so it would be pretty embarrassing for them to give Longshot normal hands at this point.

I've actually never noticed that.
