Carol's the only one in that picture who hasn't had a figure released or announced in the past couple of years. Seems a bit strange to give everyone else an update but not her.

They revealed that new Vision, Maybe Carol in her first costume is next?

[tierneygreen]

My quick thoughts on the reveals...

Definite buys

• Clea: Almost perfect. Plus, whoever did that face sculpt deserves a raise.
• Crystar: Love this. I'd be down with additional related characters, assuming Hasbro gets around to them in my lifetime.
• Luke Cage: Love this, but an alternate, enraged face sculpt should have been included.
• Blade: I like and will buy, but a similar gripe from the one above. An additional non-expressive head would have been nice.

Undecided

• Power Princess: I have no feels for SS either way, but just being an action figure junkie, I might get this. It looks amazing.
• Justice: Not so familiar with this version of Vance as I am the old, old school GotG. I am trying to catch up, though.
• Vision: Tempting, but I resist hastily swapping out older figures I'm fairly content with for what amounts to a modest upgrade. *purses lips while looking at his new Hawkeye*

Everything else is a likely pass. I don't collect MCU, or Legends based on video games and/or animated series. Not shitting on the figs or their inspo, they're just not my focus.

[Captain Nash]

I'm wondering if Justice, Vision and Power Princess are going to be part of an Avengers wave? Maybe adding in that Count Nefaria IF that list was legit?

Madam Masque could use an update so throw her in the wave too, that way you've got father and daughter in the wave.

Throw in Thor as the big name, and some bigger named villain who's probably due for a re-release/different outfit release, and then Atlas as the BAF so we can get some movement on completing the OG Thunderbolts...(don't forget about that half-finished team too, Hasbro!)

Count Nefaria is my most-wanted, non X-centric villain. I hope we see him soon.

On a side note: I posted my Banshee kitbash over in the customs section and TBM kindly recommended I show it off here, too. Recipe breakdown and a couple more pics in the original thread (Banshee: Giant Size X-Men #1, Marvel Legends).

As stated over there, the green isn't exactly right, but I'll make do with this until H gets to it.

Bro that green actually looks perfect I wouldn’t worry about it man I mean it looks great

[En Sabah Nerd]

I never got the last classic Vision on the retro card (I can't remember if I just never found him or if other things had my attention) so the new classic Vision is appealing to me but Blade is my favorite Legends reveal from this SDCC even without an alternate head and guns. Now as for the Marvel Knights wave being fan channel only... some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill.



The last line was just a joke, fan channel stuff is usually pretty easy to get.

[WallySparks]

Speaking of Crystar, I think its cool that a new figure got made of Crystar

Stupid Shartimusprime by the way, he had that put upon confused act when he was interviewing those three guys.

In one of the interviews Dwight said he wanted to finish the New Warriors so Namorita has to be in pipeline, and Crystal in her Black and White costume is pretty much the hole in that 90s Avengers team

Wasp is there, too. She and Doctor Strange are just hidden behind the Avengers title. Would love to see a classic Janet.

Yeah, I'm hoping she may be a store exclusive released alongside or closer to the upcoming film's debut. That's been the trend with quite a few classic character figures recently: Doctor Strange, Ant-man, Star-lord, etc.

Oh, I really hope so! That'd also track with Hasbro's MO of including a few straight-up repaints in each wave... and I actually wouldn't even be mad about it in this instance! In the right colors, the female Shield agent body mold is a perfect match for Masque. Just needs a nice new proper head.

Shartimus has been dragged for years as being a Hasbro Legends shill. Years of granting tons of biased praise to the line while lobbing softball questions whenever he's had a chance to speak directly to someone from the Hasbro team earned himself that reputation. If one were to read into some of his discussion videos on the matter, it's become apparent that it clearly bothers him.

While I give him some credit for sticking his neck out and asking some difficult (though not very well thought out) questions, it was evident very early that Shartimus went into interview with a very aggressive agenda to prove his naysayers wrong. Unfortunately, the interview went south very quickly only for it to blow up in his face as the seasoned professionals at Hasbro ran circles around him and ended up taking him to the woodshed.

Great stuff, again. If I had half the aptitude and patience, I wouldn’t wait for Hasbro either; most of the parts are there for a wide cross-section of characters.

How do you like the Ubiquitous modular diorama set? I’ve had a couple of boxes for years now. I built something a little too ambitious and not per their sample designs. It came out ok, but I foolishly didn’t incorporate the lighting elements and never returned to retro fit. The pegging system and warping found in many of the slots proved to be too aggravating for me to revisit. I purchased a metal sculpting tool to avoid the trauma it can cause to the fingertips, but still haven't gone back to complete what I started. Building things from the Ubiquitous sets can take a physical toll..

That was my first thought. Especially if the Thor is retooled to be his current standard look (which would basically just require a new head and arms).

[TheBlueMarvel]

^Random observation - I like the other illustration better, especially Thor. That profile for Falcon has a noticeable underbite lol

However, based on that SW design, I want a new fig in that outfit.

The short answer? I can't say that I'd buy them again.

When I got them I had aspirations of building something grandiose like a Danger Room dio, but...nah. I realized that I'm only going to have something useful if I don't stray far from the octagon they show you how to build. What you see in the pics incorporates parts from two sets to make the default build one panel deeper (to accommodate two lighted columns) and one wider. That's as "grandiose" as I'm able to get it. It always impresses me when I see some that use the lights but not simply in the octagonal configuration. I obviously don't have the correct type of brain for anything more. And yeah, my fingers are quite upset with me after I've done any de/re-constructing.

Even with the basic octo design, working with the lighting kits can be a chore. It takes some effort to snake wires in such a way that they can stay concealed without making any wall panels bulge. Also, internal connectors between column and wall pieces can get boogered if you're not super careful (my the bottom-right, front-column light doesn't work for this reason).

So, yeah...I don't hate them, but in hindsight I kinda wish I'd gotten something else. For the same money I could've had a couple of Extreme Sets dios and some simple under-shelf lighting, or maybe even commissioned something custom.

But, since I have the Nova sets I use them – usually for "what I just got/did" type photos to post here and elsewhere.

Agreed!


Also, some pics of Monica and the "Marvels."

[WallySparks]

one thing i did hear while watching the awkward Shartimusprime interview with the 3 Hasbro guys, i heard them mention New Warriors. Whether they were hinting at original New Warriors or the newer version of New Warrior started wondering.

You think it would be possible for Hasbro to make an action figure of that one New Warriros members where she had crutches? Now, im sure some of you probably wouldnt waste money on an action made based on a cripple member but she was one of the original members. Plus she was a mutant too i think.

so far the only action figures that did get made based on original New Warriors are

Night Thrasher, Rage, Speedball, Firestar and one of the Novas anyway.

Hasbro ever make a Namorita figure?

I think Hasbro will make a Namorita, that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

You raise some really good points concerning Silhouette. To make her accurate they would need the crutches, and that gets into the whole "disabilities" debate. I don't personally have an issue with it, but I can see Hasbro feeling like enough people would that they'd be cautious with it.

Maybe include the crutches in the box but not in sight on the packaging? I mean, she's not a real person, she's a figure (of a fictional person lol). The figure could actually stand on her own without the crutches, unless they went the route they went with the X-Men movie Xavier back in 2000. Which would also be an issue, personally I'm surprised they did that one.

I hope so. And with Carol's second costume in The Marvels looking like her original costume from the comics, now seems like a good time to make it. Unfortunately, a new Ms. Marvel hasn't appeared on any of the rumor lists.

What's wrong with crutches?

There could be issues with stereotypes and other feelings that are affected negatively with it being considered a disability. That would even be if crutches are temporary (which wouldn't be the case in Silhouette but regardless..)

I just think anything surrounding disabilities is something Hasbro could potentially be cautious about.

To be clear, it doesn't bother me one way or the other and I'm all for including the crutches should she get made. but I could see where it might bother other people.

[TheBlueMarvel]

Any classic New Warriors team would be incomplete without Silhouette. I'd buy a fig of her with the quickness.

Hip! Hip!

[hasbroherofan]

We’ve gotten multiple Xaviers in wheelchairs. I really don’t think Silhouette would be a problem.

[WallySparks]

well, Shartimusprime might have a problelm with a Silhouette figure that has crutches.

But I dont know Shartimusprime personally so dunno how he really feels about comic book characters with disabilties like Silhouette.
