New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

VonPooten · 07-10-2015, 01:57 PM

Is this an announcement from the Marvel Panel? Huh, I thought it was on tomorrow. Ah well, Mockingbird and Taskmaster sound like great additions! Much more excited about them than the Spider-Man wave (although that looks pretty great too).
Have there been any other figures announced? It can't just be those two and the Spidey wave, surely?

edit: Whoop, just saw them. Excellent figures! Love that classic Cap figure, can finally replace the not-so-good Marvel Now version. Mockingbird has actual sculpted parts - wonderful! (sucks that small sculpted details are now treated like a miracle)

I can't say I'm too familiar with that Taskmaster look though, does anyone know what it's from? I would have preferred the Udon redesign, but this one looks really nice, too. Civil War series, anyone?

Man a new Shocker would be great but its just gonna be a tampoed buck body :/ The old one has such an amazing sculpt. Too bad it got ruined with gimmicks :/ :/ :/

If they could give me the toy biz like sculpt but with joints I'd be so happy but that's not gonna happen.

If we don't see a hint of Enchantress I may cry. I have given up on Polaris because she's X-men but dammit Hasbro, give up Amora!

TheBlueMarvel · 07-10-2015, 02:07 PM

^^^No, just unconfirmed rumor speculation from people at the show. We won't know definitively until they want us to....

^^Yeah, Toy Biz totally screwed up a beautiful Shocker sculpt with those silly missiles. If they had just added jointed elbows and bicep swivels, the Shocker fig would have been one of the very best Marvel Legends figs.

The panel last year showed Spider-Woman and Hellcat, and then prototypes for Dormammu and Magik. So that gives us 4 characters to be revealed tomorrow, but I hope they bloody well show more. Come on, Enchantress! I'd also love a modern Falcon, but anything Sam Wilson-related will be his new Cap look. Bah.

@VonPooten

Lol...my reply to you rhymes with Hank's...

Edit: Yeah I saw those photos. I thought you were referring to the Electro & Shocker news, but you were commenting on Cap/MockingBird/Taskmaster.

VonPooten · 07-10-2015, 02:35 PM

Ah sorry yes I was! My guess is that they won't reveal any new figures until the panel, but man I hope that Shocker isn't just a palette swap. I'm still gobsmacked that Mockingbird has sculpted boots and knee pads.

Haven't heard anything about the winner of the today's poll. Anyone know something??

Phantomcrow · 07-10-2015, 04:36 PM

Man, at this point I am so tired of Cap figures I would love to have a Force Works era US Agent :-)

This Captain America is on the new Kraven buck and will come with extra accessories and a head sculpt to recreate his Capwolf appearance.

Taskmaster will also come with an extra Udon inspired headsculpt.

Spider-Gwen will have an additional Gwen Stacy head included!!

A Thor wave is hinted at with Enchantress as a possible inclusion...

Well shit, I guess I need to go clean myself, an Udon alternate head and a Cap Wolf head. I hope that trend continues.

Cap Wolf almost makes up for the lack of chainmail. So cool!

flipwilson · 07-10-2015, 08:56 PM

I've wanted a udon taskmaster forever. Now, if they make agent x, I might pee my pants and do a backflip.

Dr Kain · 07-10-2015, 09:20 PM

Udon?

ChuckSass · 07-10-2015, 10:04 PM

anyone who has a set and wants to sell Magik holler please!

3233rafael · 07-10-2015, 11:34 PM

The comparison that we've all been waiting for...

Select VS Legends Hulkbusters!

...and the winner is...both, I love both...and you??

so these will be some of the new figs that will be getting released next year?? i like the idea of cap with a cap wolf head. the other two i think i'll pass on.

Spyne98 · 07-11-2015, 08:45 AM

Liking the new figures. I wanna see that Cap Wolf! Any word on the day 2 winner?

jwyss234 · 07-11-2015, 09:22 AM

Hopefully Cap, Mockingbird and Taskmaster get released as 3 pack this fall like last years Ms. Marvel 3 pack. It was announced at SDCC and out by October.

Not to my knowledge. They might hold it back and reveal the winners from yesterday and today at the panel.

According to the video I posted above:
Round 1 consisted of The Hood, Nova, Darkhawk, and the Disir. Winner: Darkhawk

Round 2 consisted of Angela, Borr, Nebula, and ???? (Stall forgot the last character.)

How very polite of Stall not to correct the interviewer for consistently saying Gamora though!

Oh, and please let either Angela or Nebula win.

TheBlueMarvel · 07-11-2015, 11:10 AM

@redfox

Quasar? While I'll settle for Darkhawk, or Angela, I truly hope Quasar wins...
