Seeing them up-close, I can safely say that, while Enchantress is fantastic, I can hold my breath to see if there's a single-carded version. Something about her just leaves me wanting - not sure what, but it's there.

Dreadknight is still the best of the whole set and probably the one that would cost ridiculous amounts to grab on his own.

I feel roughly the same towards the entire set in general. When I first saw the production photos, I was really excited, but after seeing how the final products came out, I've been a little less than thrilled. Enchantress's paint apps make her look tired and bored instead of sexy, the Sandman really could have benefitted from some sculpted or painted texture, Purple Man looks like a badly painted custom, and I have no attachment to Dreadknight what so ever, as I didn't even know who the character was outside of his representation in my Super Hero Squad collection. Abomination looks good, but I already have the ToyBiz version in that paint scheme, and am actually looking forward to the upcoming Cap wave version due to it's different colors. The Spider-Man looks off as well, as I don't think the Scarlett Spider head works so well on him, and not having spare hands at this point when so many other Spidey's do is a sin.

I might eventually chase after Kilgrave separately if only to save me the trouble of having to paint over a Coulson figure to make him, although I will probably be swapping out the head with one of the David Tenant cast heads floating around out there.

I will post up some haul stuff when I get home from work tonight.

Happy belated birthday!

Well high heels do make one stand taller.

Yeah but when you think about it, the buck she came from, the Scarlet Witch one, is too tall despite the heels. Should be shorter.


On the set as a whole, I like it. I got a great price ($200 shipped - which will most definitely will be the cheapest I'll ever find it at shipped to the UK), and it suits my tastes.

Not really as good as past SDCC exclusives, but still good. I am pleasantly surprised at how cool Abomination is. He may be my favorite. Sandman is lacking, A LOT, but I like it as a sand look and the inevitable BAF in regular colours will be a nice addition. I think this Spidey is very nice, despite some minor gripes.

Dreadknight is the clear winner though.

Nope. Just fit right on.

Is it? I guess all female figures are too tall (well not all but a lot) when you stop and think about it. These are fictitious comic characters though whose height even varies in the source material all the time so it's not hard to forgive little things like that. Enchantress for example I've seen illustrated as going up to the Executioner's chin and that was a design without heels, other times she barely goes up to Thor's pecs, it varies.

Cant she change her size? I thought in the thor comics she got all giantmanlike once or twice?

Oh for sure, pretty much all of the female figures apart from the Spider Girl bucks are too tall. Like as tall as Bucky Cap or taller with heels. Really makes them Amazonian lol

Enchantress gets a pass, since she's Asguardian. I am so pleased she isn't like Valkyrie on the Red She-Hulk body. I feared that to be the case.

Talking of Valkyrie, the cape for Dreadknight would be PERFECT for a classic version of her.

the current valkyrie is a peg warmer i hope they dont make another one of her and just do another character not released before in thor's world. btw i'm sure hes getting a wave to himself but im shocked noone ever requested an updated comic thor, the one thats out is bad(not like i care much for thor but just saying).

[Captain Nash]

I know I'm a fool. But the Raft set just popped up on Amazon for $250. I had that much budgeted for it...and considering I won't be available to even try for the HTS day sale...I went for it. They only had one in stock so we'll see but hopefully it's mine.

[Kirathis]

Thanks for the happy birthdays all.

Back to DTL's earlier question.

If you are interested in getting the 12" Spidey Legend it is a pretty damn nice figure. It is basically a big Pizza Spidey with an extra fully unmasked head, some extra articulation and no pizza slice. It has both a diaphragm joint and ab crunch as well as toe articulation. The paint is a pit darker than Pizza Spidey as well and the foot is different to accommodate the toe joint. Comparison shot below. Now that all being said, at 50 bucks, I cannot really see myself buying any others outside of Nova Prime should they ever make one.

As for 6" stuff, I ended up picking up the TRU box set this weekend. I was kind of on the fence about it and at $60 instead of $50 like previous sets, I almost left it on the shelf. The head on the Spidey is a kind of odd bulky sculpt rather than the more narrowed sculpts of most of the recent Spidey figures. The Cap and Iron Man are both just battle damaged variants of the latest wave with unmasked heads and Iron Man has an extra set of effects. Over all, I could have easily passed on it but just snagged it mostly as a "meh whatever" purchase.

Thanks for the Raft set pics TheXtremisT. I am honestly even more sure now that I do not really want the set. Particularly if I have to try and fight HTS lag or pay over their price on Ebay. Actually kind of happy about that.

I wouldn't mind Hasbro doing a Classic Thor on the Hyperion body with some slight retooling.

no im just saying everyone wants more thor chars updated or in another costume when thor himself doesnt really have a good figure yet.

Id love a good ages of thunder thor. Thatd be the definitive thor for me. Then just need beta ray bill and thunderstrike!

You can never have too many Spidey rogues:





Now that Jackal has been announced we could really use Vulture....and Mysterio.....and Lizard.....and Shocker....and Kingpin....and Scorpion....and I'll still be only halfway satisfied.

Gonna add classic Beetle, Morlun, Vermin, Spot, Mister Negative, Cardiac, Puma, to that list for sure!

I don't think HASBRO will ever be able to top that Green Goblin!! I love that figure!

Still waiting on Grizzly, Gibbon, Leapfrog, White Rabbit, and the Hypno Hustler.

Only these for right now, gonna upload more later

Am I the only one who thinks the Absorbing Man/Sandman body would be great for a BAF The Russian if Hasbro ever does a Punisher wave?

I really want that Enchantress and Spidy. Hopefully they'll show up single carded someday. Since Hasbro is releasing Dormammu as an upcoming BAF and he was an exclusive to last years SDCC I have a glimmer of hope.

[jwyss234]

Had my light box set up the other day so I took some quick pics of some of the Legends that I've gotten over the past couple of weeks.

Quick shot of some of the recent Spiderman figures.


Lil' Spidey's first web line




"I swear baby, it's over between me and my ex. Our retcon was finalized 8 years ago!"


Quick shot of the MCU Spidey with the Ultimate Comics Spidey. I hope Hasbro lightens the colors on the MCU figure when it gets re-released next year. They're just way too dark.

That is a GREAT idea! Wow never heard anyone suggest that before. I may have to do a custom of him on that body one day if Hasbro never make him.
