Let me ask what you guys think cause I haven't really played around with customs on Legends yet and don't have the parts. Would the Torso and Head from the X-Men Classics Angel along with some mixed Iceman Arms and Legs make a cool custom as Bobby Drake/Iceman? Thinking maybe paint the hair brownish, not really sure how the legs will look need to figure that out. That way it almost looks like he's phasing. I love this figure



I'm not into the new/now X-men at all but I still like to collect the figures. That seems like it might look pretty cool mixed in with the Cyclops and Storm Now costumes. Well crap now that I think about it this Angel would look pretty sick along with those figures.

Very nice custom! Speaking of the new XML TRU, looks like BBTS change the price on Wolvy and Cyke they're back up to original price. Glad I cancelled them though.

I like the idea, but without the blue masking around her face, the forehead is way too prominent. Might wanna reshape the Hope head so the hairline isn't so high.

That is a cool idea, but there is a lot of 5head going on there.

Took a second read to catch it, but this had me lmao.

All of these Jean Grey pics remind me that we never got the White Phoenix or AOA versions.

yeah, I know. It's mostly a matter of what angle you're looking at her from.

is medusa worth $50 and is her neck that bad?

[xMostWanted559x]

Those who completed GOTG is it only rocket and nova that's hard to find? Thinking my first legends set would be to complete them

I've seen every figure at least a couple of times now. Star-Lord and Iron Man are common (Iron Man clutters the shelves), Gamora and Drax are kind of uncommon, and then Nova and Rocket Raccoon are "rare". I've seen like 4 Novas and about the same Rockets so in my area they were available with relative ease. Too bad I don't want half the wave so I only have Groot's upper body, which acts nicely as a stand for Rocket though, so there's that.

They are such a great looking figure. I have seen too many of them to count.

Her neck is pretty bad, but the sculpt makes it easier to forgive the offense. I'm not so sure I would pay $50 for her, but I own the set which diminishes any urgency to acquire the figure. I'd buy Medusa for $35ish. There is a good chance an Inhumans box-set (which I imagine would include her and Black Bolt) may come out of this, you might want to wait...

GotG has been rather easy to find honestly. Rocket is the only one I have not seen on the pegs. Nova has shown up a couple of times at my local TRU. The rest (especially Iron Man) are pretty easy to find. You might have a slight challenge finding Gamora but I have seen her a few times more than Nova.

My local TRU has restocked the line at least a couple of times. The other big box stores mostly just have the extra Star Lord and a bunch of Iron Man.

If you want to roll the dice, you can try getting any you cannot find off of Amazon or BBTS. I have never bought from BBTS but others here could probably answer questions about buying from them. As for Amazon, it is a roll of the dice with not seeing the figure ahead of time. I will say that the three Legends I have gotten from Amazon appear solid. Their packaging, not so much. Bends and dents, but then I plan on opening them anyway.

haha awesome if I was in the states I would have click those links and bought. walmart.ca is brutal!

I love the wave, it's fantastic! I had no intentions of buying them but after the movie it was insta BUY!! Gamora, is by far the worst figure for me in the wave. So many things wrong with my figure.

White Phoenix and Sentry are my two most wanted upcoming figs. Hopefully Sentry sees release in the first 2015 wave but since he was announced as a swap (again) with Machine Man I remain doubtful.

The Hasbro team said during a live interview with Marvelicious News at SDCC that all case packs will be shipping with every figure in the wave now, swaps included. They realized the whole swap concept didn't work out, so they changed the case packs to be all inclusive from now on. That should pretty much guarantee you get everything in one shot for everyone that orders cases.

I'm glad they figured that out! I did not know that and thanks for sharing!

Wow cool! I hadn't heard that. Makes ordering a case completely worth it.

Thanks for the update.

As if I needed more convincing to buy the case for wave 1... :P

[Axe2024]

I'm probably going to have to get two cases since I would like to have both king Thor and Odin.

Thank God for that, I just want White Phoenix. Stryfe is really a bad ass figure, really enjoying him and def love the box art. Dang you MI why couldn't you get mini boxes or something:P

[ultraman zoffy]

Yeah, it's at about the 17 minute mark of Marvelicious' SDCC week show for anyone interested in hearing it directly from Dwight Stall's team. I was listening to it downloaded on my phone while driving home and swerved on the freeway a bit because I clapped in joy... lol. The takeaway from it should be that Hasbro at least cares enough to revamp things to help try getting the figures to the collectors.
