After seeing more photos of the figures, I am a little disappointed with the pins, but Hasbro still got me on this one. The Hyperion figure, I just wish they would have done his arms pinless, but the rest look good to me, he looks like he has a little more size than the last release of him way back when. On Doctor Spectrum, they could have paid more attention to detail to him, like giving him pinless legs and painting the armpit joint to match the figure’s paint scheme. But he does have a one thing going for him. This is the first time he has been made, just like that Fallen One figure I became a sucker for in that 2 pack that included Terrax. And, I loved seeing Doctor Spectrum on the Avengers Assemble cartoon.

Hyperion looks good but I’ll wait for the inevitable black and good repaint. My Hickman Avengers display needs some new additions.

I know it's not a current figure and has been several years, but Hyperion already had a Marvel Legend. I'm not saying that the line couldn't use one, it can, but I really hate this kind of nonsensical hyperbole. No wonder we're getting so many C and D listers over and over again, Hasbro probably thinks that if a figure hasn't been done in 5 years, it's never been done.
In summation to that ad copy: |

Of course it had weak results. With gouging price increases, shitty windowless packaging, figs with little to no accessories, completely idiotic case packs ( one character percase with baf waves? ) and horrendous distribution its no fucking wonder their sales suffered and as well it should. Hopefully the higher ups at some point get their heads outta their asses and put shit back to were it was. Thier new strategies are not working,
Harbinger, the bulk of Hasbro's profits come from board games and WOTC. Their problems are people going back to work, same people not having any money, and missteps with EOne and D&D. Thinking that case packs and windowless packaging are why the had to cut 1000 jobs just proves you spend too much time posting garbage in an Internet forum and not enough time reading. |

Definitely going to need this Faux-Wonder Woman figure in the Legends line-up now.

Well BBTS was pretty cool about the Blob thing. I asked if they could include him in my POL shipment since it hadn't been shipped out yet. They couldn't, so they've given me store credit to pay for his shipping.

Wow. The label for that old Hyperion in the display says Wave 1, 13! I think that was the Hit-Monkey wave... I remember the first Marvel Legends I ever bought was Hit-Monkey Archangel... can't believe that was 10 years ago! That means I have been officially collecting Marvel Legends for a decade now. Oh gawd... I feel like that Matt Damon/Saving Private Ryan old man morphing .gif. Also kinda crazy to think you sometimes need to wait a decade to get a figure upgrade... even though I guess this is a different version of Hyperion.

When I started collecting the line seriously, thinking about what I hoped to see, and the point where ToyBiz left off and even where Hasbro left off before the ROML, I don’t think there’s more than a handful of characters or looks that was too high up on my list that haven’t gotten a figure or redo. Still waiting for a Hasbro comic Mandarin though, one the last really bad ToyBiz figures to need redo or new outfit Last edited by Captain Nash; 01-28-2023 at 10:01 AM.. |

So we're going to get a classic Wonder Woman from Hasbro Marvel Legends before we get one from McFarlane DC Multiverse.

Has anyone else gotten any updates of the upcoming Retro X-Men figures? I preordered the three I wanted from Amazon, and while Wolverine and Longshot are still due in April, Avalanche is supposedly arriving on Wednesday. Which is great, he's the one I looked forward to the most, just interesting it's just him. Not complaining about that either, just making an observation. Of course, he hasn't shipped yet either, so that may not happen.

The entire Squadron Supreme was a pastiche of the Justice League.

EDIT: Well shit, my POL arrived from BBTS some time today. I just opened up the front door to check the snow and found the box on my doorstep. The worst part was, I was in my living room all day and FedEx never once knocked on the door.

Why fuck around with people that have already placed orders for your shit? We’ve already acted in good faith and ordered ahead of release…frustrating. Last edited by TheBlueMarvel; 01-30-2023 at 10:58 AM.. |

That’s likely deliberate and might’ve even been part of the retail agreement. Pulse had been getting things out sooner than other outlets immediately following the debacle that was the Engine of Vengeance: Haslab. Now they’ve seemingly reversed course and could be courting distributors with delayed fulfillment for Pulse orders providing timed-exclusivity. Same old, same old. Just when you thought one particular outlet had become reliable, inexplicably, especially considering the reference is the online resource for the manufacturer itself, the delivery gets staggered. These are the ‘thousand cuts’ that kill longstanding enthusiasm as much as any other shortcomings.
