amazing! what about Hellcat? she hung out for a few issues!

TheBlueMarvel · 10-06-2015, 08:29 PM

@ChuckSass

lol She did? Unghhh! Well so did Quicksilver and She-Hulk, but I think I'll save them for other line-ups. Plus, I'll be putting Patsy in a Defenders line-up...thanks for the big up! I'm glad you liked the pics!

I got my second Amazon 4-pack (and Marvel Select Juggernaut) and to my surprise, Black Widow has different paint aps. On the pre-ordered one, the elbows were like the knees, they had the elbowpad painted and then a fuzzy blue wash around the elbows going up the tricep and down to almost the wrist. The newer one just has the crisp elbowpads and that's it. The first one the Black Widow head had these doe eyes that were looking up, giving her this damsel in distress look, while the newer one is actually looking forward, giving her more of a determined look.

Hawkeye and Thor were pretty much the same, but the second Banner had rather sloppy paint on his head. Also, oddly enough, the right hand is slightly different. The first one had his first finger touching his thumb on his right hand, as if making a pinching motion. The second one, the thumb is above the first finger, like he's ready to hold something.

Finally, I'll repeat my request, anyone have Hulkbuster Valkyrie and a movie Black Widow head (4-pack, Winter Soldier) could put the head on Valkyrie and take a pic?

You should take a pic of the differences! Possible variants already?!?

Man..I ordered my 4 pack over the weekend, and it still shows as "preparing to ship" on my Amazon tracker. WTF man...

Here you go dude...hope these help out!

Winter Soldier 2 pack...

And because I use it for my BW's head sometimes...Hope Summers...

And in case you need to know, yes all four heads do fit on Valkyrie, although the older BW head from the Winter Soldier 2 pack needed a bit more work to fit...

ultraman zoffy · 10-06-2015, 10:47 PM

Yeah, those heads are too small for that body. The pics also remind me that I need to swap the ugly bicep sections out on my valkyrie...

Looks like they finally got the new waves up @ HTS...

Marvel Legends | HasbroToyShop

Trivial Psychic · 10-07-2015, 12:26 AM

God I hate the HTS site redesign. It's ridiculous to navigate through now to find what you're looking for, and you can't tell what's in stock until you click on it. The search parameters don't even work properly either...for example, I tried searching for the newest Transformers toys recently to see if they happened to have got in CW Starscream, and instead it put Voyager Whirl and some Bayformers at the front of the list. WTF Hasbro...if it wasn't broke, don't fix it...

Glad it's not just me. It might actually be even worse than the TRU site now...

Yeah they're revamped still sucks. I don't even look at it any more unless someone posts direct links haha. I'm hoping the latest 3.75 goes up there soon so I can cancel my BBTS order. Surprised that they haven't even listed wave 4 of TF's since it's been about a month since they've been out at retail.

X-23 is the New Wolverine ( this pisses me off the most because they always tried to make her NOT just a wolverine clone and now they are completely making her nothing but a Wolverine clone, costume and all. It just means they have run out of ideas to me) and Old Man Logan will be the only older Wolverine.

Great thanks, sterilized? What the heck...who made it out if you don't mind me asking. Is there no more X-Force book either?

They haven't said who's around just yet. I think the X Books comes out next week or the week after. No X-Force for the moment. I'm not happy about that.

donmeca2020 · 10-07-2015, 12:13 PM

I don't get how the actual brand that makes these toys doesn't have them up on their own site prior to other online toy sellers and even actual department stores...

Because they'd damage their relationship with their retailers if they offered things first and undercut the stores. It's pretty straight forward actually.

well if not earlier at least about the same release time.

TheBlueMarvel · 10-07-2015, 04:21 PM

NYCC updates:

Jim Lee Rogue, Cottonmouth, Whirlwind, Scourge, and Sharon Carter (Legends).

winning...

EDIT:
Oh, and a proper head for Onslaught...what do I do with the old BAF? lol

even more winning...

En Sabah Nerd · 10-07-2015, 04:30 PM

Classic Onslaught head. Just like movie Ultron, Hasbro pisses me off by making the BAF I want in a wave where I maybe want one or two. I refuse to pay eBay prices for what amounts to a $30 toy tops.

I like everyone in this wave, with the exception of Scourge. But I feel you...

KcKilla · 10-07-2015, 04:47 PM

Rogue looks so awesome, I really hope the packaged fig ends up looking that good.

I suppose I should have clarified. I just don't really collect Legends, I only grab a figure or two occasionally and it has to either be a favorite character or look really good on the spot. The closest I've come to completing a wave is having three figures from the GotG wave.

Oh, I have a sense for your preference in figs, especially as it regards NECA. Many of these more recent BAFs are dropping considerably in price 3-6 months out from release. If you can wait, it might take the sting off of any planned purchase...

VonPooten · 10-07-2015, 05:22 PM

Ah, pretty disappointed that they've used the Maria Hill buck for Sharon. She would've looked much better with the Misty Knight/Wasp body, and damn those combat wedges, but at least she's being released.

Not too fussed about the D-list villains either (where's that revamped Wonder Man?) but, WOW, did not expect Jim Lee Rogue. What a way to grab people's attention!

Spyne98 · 10-07-2015, 05:24 PM

I love them all! And an X-Men character! Guess there isn't a total block.

ASAP please...I didn't even want to put him in my West Coast pics and I left him out of the Mighty Avengers line-up on purpose...

Buy the standalone BAF from Dorkside or just sell the loose figures off or use them as trade fodder.
