Marvel at HasbroToyShop.com | CAPTAIN AMERICA MARVEL LEGENDS VARIETY PACK Item Details

Hasbro is now offering a case from the HTS site. I assume stores can get the case as well. It just happens to be all the figures that comic shops can order from Diamond. And no Zemo and Skull. ALSO , this is the first case that has all Mandroid parts in ONE CASE.

Nice missed that post....Now if only Hasbro would see fit to release a REAL movie version of Ronana the Accuser for the GOTG Legends line.

I think I saw a small 4" one for their other crappy toys line...but sadly forgot about their real fans when releasing Ronan.

Third Marvel Legends Infinite 3-Pack auction by my count:

Marvel Legends MS Marvel Captain America Radioactive Man 3 Three Pack SEALED | eBay

I still haven't seen an official release date, but it can't be far off.

Edit: Is it me or does "3-pk" Ms. Marvel's eyes look like Carol's tossed a few back? Her eyes look like she is either inebriated or lacking in the "cognitive functioning" department (which isn't a bad thing per se; we all have to work with what we are given ). Maybe they are going with a Ms. Marvel when she was struggling with addiction....dunno. I'm likely one of very few individuals with this opinion...

Marvel Legends Agent Venom is Awesome!!!

I had an awesome weekend(although my wallet is now chewing my ass). Capt Britain, Bishop and Forge/Wolverine 2 pack arrived in mail on Friday. All I needed to finish Sentinel was a Sinister. Picked him up at the LCS along with a AOA Wolverine to finish my Giant Man on Sat.

I gotta say that the Sentinel is in the top 5 of the coolest toys I've ever owned. Sorry for the crappy picture.

I'm more bothered by the upper thigh gaps in the figure.I realize there will be lines in the figure from the various parts but it seems those gaps are worse than usual. It makes the figure very clunky.

Still, will be getting with normal retail prices because I really want the Radioactive Man.

Thanks, now there is another glaring defect on the figure that my eyes will refuse to gloss over. lol Honestly, I still like the figure blemishes and all. I'm one of those strange birds that believes slight imperfections like these add personality to what I'm viewing (be it figures or humans). Perfection is boring and an unnatural occurrence. The eyes and funky thighs add a slight patina of ugliness that reminds one that nothing is perfect. Now that Cap, that thing is rubbish! (joke)

Agreed. He is my No.1 BAF. That is why I have 9 of them :-) I was getting parts and second hand complete ones for years now. I have never payed more than 40$ for a complete one. I used to get Sentinel parts for 3$-5$ bucks each back in the Toy Biz days from LCS and such, Before they became the expensive pieces they are today.

Geeez, that's awesome. I luckily was able to get Spiderman and Blank Panther for about $25 each. Those are the pricey guys today along with Omega Red, but I guess you can get the torso pretty easy because of Mystique so a wash on that BAF part. I would like to maybe try and get 2 more down the road one day. Or maybe Hasbro would release one in the future, I can dream anyway.

So I completed Jubilee, also purchased Black Cat going outside of my regular X Men bubble because I'm a sucker for a great female figure regardless of affiliation. I'll take some pics tomorrow.

Got me thinking though, how awesome would an all female wave of Marvel Legends be? It would have to be a Previews Exclusive but they did it in the 5 inch days (She Force) and there are alot of unreleased females that they could get out in one go (along with some easy repaints/recasts of popular female figures). Each figure at 1 per case would ensure an equal playing field and sell a ton of cases.

Dark Ms. Marvel (with alternate classic head)

This custom is exactly what I'm thinking



White Phoenix



NOW! Black Widow (on Moonstone buck with new head)

Lyra



Psylocke (repainted X Force figure in classic colors)

Rogue




Spider Woman II (Julia Carpenter, Jessica Drew repaint)

Emma Frost (diamond form recast of WL figure)

[JayMoriarty]

I have a question, there's a seller on eBay from China selling a Red Hulk Marvel Legends BAF. Does anyone know how the quality is on these bootleg figures?

[Colder Soldier]

^Excellent idea.

All great ideas but I don't know if Black Widow would work. Her NOW costume is pretty much her movie costume, so it would need extra detailing. So might as well get ScarJo and change the head. Danni Moonstar would probably work better in that slot.

I love this idea! But if it ever did happen I think a 5 pack box set exclusive, and don't leave out the bad girls! Titania has been missing from Creel's side for way too long!

[Byrnes]

@jmurray90720. A Wave of females would sell like fried food at a fair. Great idea. Even a 3 or 5 pack would work.

I would like to see Polaris and Dazzler in the mix also. OK screw it we need an X-Men 5 pack with Rogue, Phoenix and Moonstar

I got the green Hulk (Valkerie 2-pack), very loose waist, but otherwise decent, doesn't compare to the Hulk from the Toybiz 2-packs though. I'm sure red Hulk is fine for posing etc, I have the BAF and it's very stable.

I have yet to get one myself, but others say they're pretty good. The construction and plastic quality is near identical to the official release. It's the paint (mostly in the airbrushed shading) that can be iffy.

I fully support this post!

[Nymesys Prime]

I like that idea..i think a 3 or 5 pack works better than a case release set. 1 per case has too much potential for artificially creating a rare figure. 2 waves of 3 or single wave of a 5 packs eliminates this. Plus with all the swappers out there single cases will have the shelves stocked with swap toy-biz figs.

The reason the 1 per case figures are expensive is because of the overpacking of other figures in the case and what you are "stuck" with when buying a whole one. Emma Frost for example, costs anywhere from 80-100 on the secondary market because of the extra four figures you have to buy to get her from Diamond Distributors. It doesn't help that nobody wants Sabretooth or Wolverine (Cyclops sells though) so even if you intend on keeping a set and sell the extra Cyclops, you have a Sabretooth and two Wolverines (an extra $60 worth of figures) that you can not move. With all of the figures at one per case character availability is truly subject to popularity, and there is no artificial rarity created. BAFs drive up the prices on some figures too, but if you either leave the BAF out or pack the pieces evenly the problem is solved. DC Universe Classics wave 2 (the Grodd series) was the last time I remember a case assortment being perfectly fit for retail, and as a result was impossible to find. You really just had to choose if you wanted Superman Red or Blue but there were 2 of everyone in the case.

I think a 5 pack, and even a 3 pack is too much of a financial commitment for what might be considered a niche market. I can see alot more people pulling the trigger on White Phoenix at $22 than spending $50-100 to get it in a multipack. The same goes for most of the characters i proposed.

The Black Widow i had in mind was the same costume as the ARTFX statue, which is pretty much just the 2 pack version but I'd need a new head and the Moonstone body. Maybe without cleavage like this:

[hitman2099]

the only way that an all female wave could fly is if its sold as a Diamond Exclusive of some sort of if its sold thru hasbrotoyshop.com.

It would be a tough sale for major retailers to accept all female action figures and convince them that they will be profitable ENOUGH to their wants

[hitman2099]

Another reason why an all female wave is a tough sale is because there are re-releases of figures that hasbro would like to make that may or may not be femail, along with those that should be released that havent even been planned to be made like Abomb, Penance, Songbird, Sauron, Morph (X-Men 90s cartoon, ok this one is my personal wish lol), Bastion, all or some of the Starjammers, Vulcan, Darkhawk, Lilandra, the rest of Alpha, Squirrel Girl, the new Nova, "the warriors three", Apocolypse Twins, SIlver Samurai, Maelstrom, the newe Ghost Rider, the new Thor, and you can keep going

You can also do a wave of just Phoenix Five or people who are in phoenix power forms

Or even a wave where its just civilian clothed heroes. Like a civilian Tony Stark or Hawkeye, Cyclops, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Angel, general thunderbolt, Luke Cage, etc.
