Definitely. I pretty much only buy Spider characters for legends anyway so it's nice to see her made.

I'm not a fan, but he'll make plenty happy if he wins. Luckily for me, there are three more days for Lady Sif to swoop in and take this.

BAD MOON · 07-09-2015, 09:17 PM

Darkhawk!

I'd hope they would do his 1st appearance costume but most likely it will be the pictured look.

Hopefully Mysterio wins.

I would want his early look as well. He changed in issue 38 of his original series to a more space sci fi look because he left earth. Then in the 2000's he showed up back on earth and his look was back to his old style. Then when the War of Kings story happened he ended up in space , found out his armor could adapt at will to other forms ( ala having big guns and huge wings), also found out he belonged to The Fraternity of Raptors ( part of the Shi'ar Empire) then he got mind swapped and killed Lillandra of the Shi'ar empire, got his mind back and went on the run from the Imperial Guard. Last I saw he got back to earth and ended up in the Avengers Arena book.

They will probably do something close to his MU figure that was a semi combination of his old and new. And by that the body was his newer style, but the wings they used were more like his old costume.

Glad I am not the only one who thinks it looks bad. I almost started laughing when I saw the horrible paint rub on the so prominently displayed wrist joints in a photo earlier today.

Nice! I will take any version but an Annihilation era one complete with an attachable accessory to make him look more like the war mode version would be AWESOME.

ChuckSass · 07-10-2015, 04:55 AM

ugh I want Angela and Sif! If Darkhawk is becoming a legend, I want a Firestar… or that Moonstar, we can just dress her up like an Asguardian and then we can have all the Fearless Defenders

Dr Kain · 07-10-2015, 06:15 AM

Why does that Angela character look like she came out of a Spawn comic?

Because she did.

To further blow your mind, she's actually Thor's long lost sister. (Not a joke or a jest, true retcon.)

Captain Nash · 07-10-2015, 07:15 AM

I can't wait til tomorrow evening. I am so hoping that there's some great stuff in store for us. the problem is though I've absolutely convinced myself that they'll be showing either a finished or pre-mold image of Enchantress, that if they don't I'm going to be so disappointed.

What do you mean she did? Did someone just copy her design?

Nope, she's the same character. McFarlane lost the rights to Gaimen and Gaimen sold the rights to Marvel. So she's literally that Angela from the Spawn series. She was pulled into the Marvel Universe from her own dimension when the time/space continum was FUBARed in the Age Of Ultron event.

It was then revealed during the Oirginal Sin offshoot "the "10th Realm" that she was supposedly killed as an infant during Asgard's war with the 10th realm, and is Odin and Frigga's daughter. But she was not killed she was taken by the forces of the 10th realm. It's rather confusing.

if i recall correctly Mcfarlane also gets part credit for her creation...

back on toy topic, i found this in the wild today while going to a wal mart.

Captain Nash · 07-10-2015, 09:06 AM

Nice find donmeca2020.

And yeah, I'm not sure of the exact crediting issue of Angela. I do know Gaiman got enough rights to the character to sell it to Marvel. I'm sure McFarlane still gets (partial?) creation rights. It all gets very muddled because it's not only selling of rights from creators it's also selling it between publishing companies, which is much less heard of.

Mockingbird! minus her eyes being on different continents of the globe she looks amazing

NM I found it! sweet. would have preferred the classic but this look is IMO equal to the classic for my preference. One out of my top 20 down...c'mon Amora!

ArsGratiaArtis · 07-10-2015, 11:19 AM

Hell with Bobbi, that new Taskmaster is gorgeous.

Yeah Taskmaster is definitely an improvement. But I just always get more excited about totally new characters than retooled/redone figures.* I just can't help it.

*If they ever want to actually release that new Rogue though I will be beyond thrilled.

Dr Kain · 07-10-2015, 11:34 AM

I need to see better pictures. Are they a three pack?

Harbinger · 07-10-2015, 12:09 PM

I still need good pics.

TheBlueMarvel · 07-10-2015, 01:00 PM

Apparently, a new Shocker and Electro have been confirmed by Hasbro. They just haven't been displayed, yet...at least that's the scuttlebutt I've read...I like my Toy Biz Electro, but a Shocker would be nice since I could never bring myself to buy the old one.

I believe those were also part of the rumors we saw a few weeks ago too, half of which have now shown up in the Absorbing Man lineup. I'd gather the rest of those are also legit. Really hoping Kingpin is the other BAF. The face off one is okay but damn I'd like a more massive Kingpin.

TheBlueMarvel · 07-10-2015, 01:17 PM

@Captain Nash

I'm with you. Not so much on the size issue (I don't want a Blob sized Kingpin), but there was something about that "Face-off' Fisk fig. that made me pass. I think it was the fact that he looked so John Romita Sr-like in style, which made him look out of place with figs that had more of a modern style to their sculpt.

Ironically, if what you say is true and we do get a Kingpin BAF, I'll pick up the old one and grab the new version. This way, if I want to go retro on the look of a display, I have options available to me.
