New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

En Sabah Nerd · 05-15-2022, 07:59 PM

Found a fresh case of Thor 4 Legends last night at Walmart and picked up Jane and Groot. I'd seen golden armor Thor, Star-Lord, and Gorr before but this was my first encounter of the full assortment. I always planned on getting this Groot in the hopes that we eventually get Endgame Rocket to go with him, but on his own he's a nice update on the 3-pack figure and the new vine-growth hands are cool. I was thinking about waiting to see the movie before I decided if I wanted Jane or not, but seeing it in hand just pushed me to get one now because it's a cool looking toy. To me the Natalie Portman likeness in hand is pretty good, it's not the best likeness we've seen in the line but it's looking mostly right. The paint on the abdomen area is a little sloppy but not to the point of being distracting, otherwise the paint all seems clean and just highlights how well sculpted the figure mostly is.

I think falsethor looks more like anna paquin than portman.

Benn Roe · 05-16-2022, 05:35 PM

Personally, I don’t think Chris Hemsworth looks anything like Anna Paquin, or Natalie Portman for that matter. Liam Hemsworth could maybe pass for one of them in the right light, though.

Yeah not seeing an Anna Paquin likeness on Hemsworth there.

I think he meant on Jane

I finally ran into some in the wild myself. The armored up Thor looks pretty cool. I almost picked him up, but decided against it since I don't want to jump down the MCU Legends rabbit hole. But Jane looks neat too! I'm very excited for this movie!

The trailer looks okay. Ill have to watch it to see if i really like it. I still dont feel maslany as she hulk though. I really think they shoulda got someone else.

Boogieman4hire · 05-17-2022, 04:59 PM

More than anything it just feels really incredible to see a live action version of my favorite female superhero in the flesh. It was just amazing to see that.

jwyss234 · 05-17-2022, 05:43 PM

A few screen shots from the She Hulk trailer.

Titania

Frog Man

How is it they can make frog man look badass (yah i never thought id say that either) but titania looks like a goddamn hooker?

MeLikeJinx · 05-17-2022, 06:30 PM

Whoa Frogman... I wonder if his Legends fig will shoot up in price now. The trailer was really fun though... I love how all the different Marvel stuff has a different vibe from one another.

I knew it all along. I was at a Comic con a month ago and saw one for $15 and decided I needed another one. I'll probably buy another just because. Now what would be real crazy is if Xemnu shows up and tries to turn She-hulk into his bride.

Funny I was just talking to someone yesterday about They Live and this person wasn't aware of Roddy Piper's acting career. Of which I also cited this movie and the Maniac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Boogieman4hire · 05-17-2022, 08:01 PM

Update: Just bought another Frogman for the hell of it.

Now I'm wishing that I would have bought the Frogman fig that I saw as trade bait. This can only help that figure's interest.

Boogieman4hire · 05-17-2022, 08:20 PM

And another for good measure. I now have a four frog squad. A frog army. Dreams do come true.

Someone go let the Battle Toads know they've got competition.

Same. I try not to get too hype for things and just enjoy them for what they are but that trailer has me bouncing off the walls. Felt exactly like a She-Hulk show should, in my opinion.

I just hope we get She-Hulk and Titania Marvel Legends. Just those two and I would be happy.

Same. I feel like the tone was pretty Sensational. I also hope for more She-Hulks and a comic Titania. Absorbing Man is very lonely.
