Big "yay" for Karnak and Marvel boy. Guess this is the 'Marvels' wave recently inquired about. Is that Amadeus an MCU appearance, or is Hasbro's decision to use some recycled MCU Hulk parts simply an effort at expediency?

Comic Cho and it does look like it might use some of Prof Hulk's BAF pieces

Well there goes my "no more MCU figures" promise, I can't not get Cho. Thankfully four of the wave are figures I'm happy to have. Only need Viv to complete a 2016 Champions lineup now as well.

I was hoping for something different in a Cho-Hulk, but I will definitely take this with a grin. That said, I also want a normal (non-gamma) Amadeus to pair with Man-bun Herc. Last edited by TheBlueMarvel; Yesterday at 09:56 AM.. |

What a spectacularly unspectacular wave. but not a real surprise either. I may get Monica, she might be one of those MCU figures I'd like to have for that little corner of my multiverse collection.
It just feels like when Hasbro isn't sure what figures to include to fill out a wave, they just throw an Iron Man in there. It's really getting old at this point. |

I agree on principal, that said, these last two Iron Man figures are some of the ones I've wanted most. First Extremis and now the version from George Perez’ early aughts Avengers run (aka Heroes Return IM).

As for the wave itself, only Commander Rogers and Iron Man are of interest to me. I never read Totally Awesome Hulk but the BAF "pops" in the promo pics. At least Carol resembles Brie Larson this time instead of Amy Poehler. |

Just Karnak for me. Hopefully we won't have to wait another five years for another Inhuman to make it into Legends.

I just need the "Heroes Return" armor Iron Man. I don't know Marvel Boy or Karnak that well to muster up any excitement, I've never been a fan of Amadeus Cho Hulk, and the face sculpts look terrible for both Ms. Marvel and Commander Combover -- er, Rogers. Monica and Carol look fine, I guess, but I'll wait until Hasbro gives us a proper classic comic Ms. Marvel for Carol Danvers instead.
My main concern is what happens to future Marvel Legends if the character selections end up being this underwhelming. It's hard enough to justify the $26 price point for a six inch figure with a Build-A-Figure piece, a set of alternate hands, or both if we're REALLY lucky. The lack of accessories like effect/power pieces and/or alternate heads have really taken the excitement out of most of the reveals for me. I'm still waiting on sold-separately figures for classic green-and-orange suit or Armani suit Doc Ock with the bendy wire tentacles, a Jim Lee Cyclops with an optic blast, a classic scaly-chainmail Captain America with an alternate smiling head and alternate triangular shield, and a first appearance Mary Jane Watson with a removable jacket and alternate jacket sleeve arms, since characters like Doc Ock and Cyclops are usually either very hard to find, are sold as part of two-packs or boxed sets, or both. At the rate Hasbro keeps releasing peg-warmer waves, though, I have a feeling I'll be waiting for a loooooong time. |

Fuck yes, Marvel Boy finally, and just in time for Pride Month. Hopefully this means more Young Avengers are on the docket.

Same. I'm not looking to build a hall of armor for IM but Extremis and Heroes Return have been two that I've had on my wishlist the past couple of years. Beyond that, the only 2 armors left that I would want are the Neo Classic and an update to the TB Series 8 Iron Man.
As for the wave itself, only Commander Rogers and Iron Man are of interest to me. I never read Totally Awesome Hulk but the BAF "pops" in the promo pics. At least Carol resembles Brie Larson this time instead of Amy Poehler. Agreed, but I kinda do, unintentionally, have most of the ingredients for an Iron Man “Hall of Armor” ![]() Hellz yeah!!! I’m hoping for the same |

I didn't realize I wanted the Heroes Return Iron Man until seeing it. What a rush of nostalgia. I loved those Busiek Avengers and Iron Man runs.

Same. I'm thrilled to have it but something about it is just underwhelming as a Cho-Hulk.

So ANOTHER BAF Hulk? Ugh. Surely there are other characters they could do as BAFs.
Another wave of dogshit in my book. Karnak would be the only one I would probably get, but not unless it was on clearance for $7 since he has the pinned legs and arms.
