That is such an awesome pose! Think I will copy that pose for my Spidey shelf display.

If anyone gets a hold of a spare Walgreens Zemo let me be the first to ask for a chance to buy it lol. I wasn't online when it went up yesterday morning.

Zemo went up?

Well damn, I would have ordered him and Binary if I had known about it.

JCarterVA · 03-12-2022, 11:53 AM

Baron Zemo arrived from Zavvi. Walgreens order should be here Monday. Great figure. Looking forward to updating my Cap shelf.

Dr Kain · 03-12-2022, 01:01 PM

Iron Man, but no Cap. -_-

He's really cool, but I have a few issues with him.

The biggest is the Tony head. The sculpt is incredible, but it's too big. The only suited body it looks like it goes to is the Happy/Hammerhead one, and Tony is most definitely not supposed to be that size.

I also don't know why he has symbiote goo things along with his blast effects. Is that from some comic issue? I've never really read Iron Man comics unless it featured Black Widow or someone. Oh, and the backdrop seems rather pointless given how small it is. You really can only do close-up shots of him in front of in order for it to have any effect. It's also a distraction on a shelf since the rest of the shelf will not match. Lastly, I do wish they had given him pinless joints.

Those minute nitpcks aside, the plastic used is really spectacular as it looks like he is wearing armor. The black linework is equally stellar. Hasbro hit this guy out of the park and I'm quite pleased I never willingly picked up an Iron Man figure until this one.

Thank you!! I have Zemo arriving today so it's a good week for Marvel Legends

Kirathis · 03-12-2022, 03:27 PM

I would just love if their stores would stock the exclusives...

MeLikeJinx · 03-12-2022, 04:12 PM

Got Classic Strange at a local toy show today... my Classic Defenders display has finally reached good enough done status! 80th Hulk has to do double duty though with Classic Defenders and Avengers. Guess Avengers and Defenders will have to be on the same shelf now with Hulk in the middle.

I feel like having a classic Avengers display that blends into the Defefenders would look pretty good, they're all on the same side and quite a few of the Defenders have been on various Avengers teams over the years.

Spyne98 · 03-14-2022, 07:15 AM

Zemo should be arriving from Walgreens today!

Bo Ttef · 03-14-2022, 12:25 PM

So how many Legends can you take from the last comic you read? I've been using Marvel Unlimited to catch up on a lot of stories I skipped... Today's selection" Symbiote SpiderMan: CrossRoads. Not a great story, but it's always fun to look at Greg Land's lightboxing. Of the Eleven(12 if you count DevilDinosaur) 4 have made it to legend status. To finish off this book we need comic versions of 4 Eternals, Karnilla, Moonboy, and Black Talon!

Ultra Seven · 03-14-2022, 03:51 PM

This is a fun idea! Mine would be “Iron Man” volume one issue four. So, I would need Unicorn foremost, and then Happy & Pepper.

JCarterVA · 03-14-2022, 03:56 PM

Quick shot of Zemos!

DarthKamen · 03-14-2022, 04:56 PM

Mine was All New X-Men issue 6.

So I'd need an oooold Cyclops, and Emma, Family Matters Magneto, and that nightmarish OG X-Men boxset.

Maybe its just me but stranges hair looks like he either A) got dressed and forgot to comb out his bedhead or B) Accidentally zapped himself with either magical or electrical energy.

Unicorn would be frickin' awesome! Just the sort of character that ends up getting made that everyone hates- but NEEDS to be made.

I love the First Class... not the best figures but a little tlc and they can look great. I still have them up in my Sentinels display

Starlord67 · 03-14-2022, 06:50 PM

The Baron arrived today!! Awesome figure to say the least!!
Another classic SECRET WARS Character done. Just need a classic Falcon with Redwing!

DarthKamen · 03-14-2022, 08:48 PM

Part 3 of 4 of The Maker! Sanding this for the past 3 hours has been a huge pain, and I still think it sits too high on the neck. Does anyone else?

Please excuse home repair in the background.

I don't have a dremel so have been sanding the inner socket, and ball joint by hand.

Edit: I just bought a cheap rotary tool...it is still way too high and uneven.

StuartGreen2019 · 03-14-2022, 10:18 PM

If anyone needs Retro Ben Reilly Spider-Man, he's up on Amazon. Just go to Other Sellers on Amazon under New and he's at the normal $22.99 price: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DQ6YGS7...7321171&sr=1-3

I'll be getting my Shocker and Symbiote Spidey figures in the mail this week. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Hulkwummy · 03-15-2022, 06:38 PM

When this week do you think we will see new stuff?
