New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

Oooooh a new Surfer and Adam Worlock would be ideal. Many more awesome cosmic characters to be had... STARFOX, NEBULA, MOONDRAGON, QUASAR, MONICA RAMBEAUX (what ever she goes by now) STARHAWK, VANCE ASTRO, YONDU... MAN... I could go on and on.

...but yes, I also want a new surfer with multiple hands like Spidey and Fist.

is that a legends surfer or MS? i guess the truth of the matter is Silver surfer is not as popular as he used to be, therefore i guess he's not a priority. even though i also wouldnt mind a nice surfer figure.

TheBlueMarvel · 04-03-2015, 09:05 PM

New page...I can post again.

ML...You did mention the Marvel Superheroes and Select...so, this doesn't really qualify. However, I don't need much reason to extol my favorite hero...ever. Well, he and Spidey are very, very close...Norrin is always popular in my book. Surfer currently has a book out, of which I'm awaiting the second volume of the TPB...

DnA run Warlock is on my top 3 of wants for that lineup behind Cosmo and Phyla. I have not been able to justify paying Evilbay prices for the Red Hulk wave Warlock and I like the modern (I can call 2008 modern right? LOL) rendition so much more.

On another note, I would love to have some of the original Guardians as well. I never read the original series but the new Guardians 3000 book has been pretty great. Not surprising though since Abnett is writing it.

I did not have the heart to tell you after I read your post last night. Yeah, BBTS has had the rev case on pre-order for about 3 weeks or so now. It is not due out until late this month or early May I believe.

That look was used in Starlin's Infinity Revelation, which was released last year so that's modern without a doubt.

Starlord67 · 04-04-2015, 11:54 AM

I'm a big fan of the original Guardians and hope they get some Marvel Legends love sometime soon.

Poison Shadow · 04-04-2015, 05:11 PM

So, got the new Spider-Woman and Hulk to swap with the Marvel Select versions I've had in my display.

If anyone is interested, I'm trying to sell two bundles of BAF pieces. PM if interested.
Thanos head, left arm and right arm - $20 shipped in USA
Hobgoblin right Arm, fire sword, left leg and right leg - $25 shipped in USA

Trivial Psychic · 04-04-2015, 10:18 PM

Just curious...has anyone else had issues with the swivel joints of their Thanos BAF wave figures, particularly in the wrists? I had three figures straight out of the package (Cap, Iron Man, and Batroc) that required a ridiculous (not to mention scary) amount of hot water and blowdryer heat manipulation to get them working properly. In the case of Iron Man, I thought I was gonna snap his closed fist hand right off, and with Cap, I still can't get the finger pointing hand to swivel at all, despite several treatments already.

My Iron Man fist hand snapped off before I realized it was tight. All the other stuff was ok.

No. But strangely, I chose to heat them all with a blow dryer and high intensity-lamp right after taking them out of the package, and just before any attempts to manipulate them. This isn't a regular precaution, or ritual I practice when receiving figures, it was actually a departure from the norm. They arrived feeling very cold to the touch, so I figured giving them an artificial thaw couldn't hurt...

I think my experience of receiving three 4H Gothitropolis figures this winter, in which I had to heat the right thigh-swivel for two of them, made me believe that these Hasbro figs could benefit from a 'zap' of heat.

Pravus Prime · 04-05-2015, 08:25 AM

I was out the other day and stopped at TRU, to my surprised had both the Thanos and Hobgoblin waves on the shelf. The only figure I really looked at was Iron Man, but he had several issues (scratches on the IM face, slop on the moustache on the unmasked, and some thigh paint issues), so I put him back.

I'd really like it if Amazon dropped the pre-order for the 4 pack though. Any day now!

trebleshot · 04-05-2015, 09:44 AM

Saw the new wave of Avengers and to my surprise, the only one missing was Captain America. While I'd love to have the Thanos, Spider-Woman and Hulk from that wave, I'm not really feeling getting the rest simply to complete another BAF. Although I am happy to see that I'd only have to get 5 figures if I wanted to do it.

I've seen all of the Hobgoblin wave too and I simply can't pull the trigger on it either, as tempting as the reviews have made it for me. I guess I will just have to live vicariously through the photos.

Saw two IMs with the same issue,luckily I only wanted Hulk.

Man, the thanos wave has some really horrible paint.
My hulk is great but everyone else has either slop on places that shouldnt have paint or missing paint/scratches/rubbed off paint in parts that should be painted.

The spider women I have straight up has a huge nasty touch up over her belly button area where they tried to fix where no paint had gotten. The yellow doesn't even match the yellow on the figure lol

Hopefully this isn't the price we have to pay for more ledgends waves per year...

donmeca2020 · 04-05-2015, 11:30 AM

finally had time to take these out of their boxes.... i was a tad shocked to see they were abit smaller then regular marvel select scale, but i still think they are cool !!! i like the way Spidey 2099's paint looks mettalic. Spidey looks pretty close to a Ramos version in my eyes. Mayday is nice was a little harder to pose. and superior has been sitting boxed on my shelf since last year... just never figured out what i would do with him til now.

sorry for the lack of legends remember im new at collecting these legends.

3233rafael · 04-05-2015, 11:45 AM

Don't know what retail price will be for this set but at least prices are going down...

Look at this on eBay:

Marvel Legends Infinite Series Avengers 5-Pack: Ultron, Thor, HULK, Iron man, CA

305Batman · 04-05-2015, 11:55 AM

That's not bad at all!

ireign · 04-05-2015, 02:07 PM

Man so that 5 pack is indeed real. Hasbro is really milking the shit out of us collectors with all of these back to back releases this year! The 4 pack is coming out soon along with the Hulkbuster and Rhino waves during the summer. BnN exclusive wave in the fall?

I'm sure a lot of you will disagree but our wallets could use a breather lol. It's a bit overwhelming!

Starlord67 · 04-05-2015, 05:21 PM

I love all the "Legends" love but I am quickly burning through my toy budget. The SDCC exclusive will be revealed soon and probably more Legends at SDCC... Whew!!

ChuckSass · 04-05-2015, 06:06 PM

Couldn't they have slipped in A comic widow instead of another ironman Thor or cap?

I agree i've been on a spending spree as of lately when it comes to toys. predators,legends, my Marvel Select Carnage should be on its way any time now.

I'm ready for the other waves though. Scarlet spider will look mighty fine on my shelf with the others !! anybody find out any concrete info when these other waves are dropping?

Also the pictures there show a clear "disney store" logo in the upper right hand corner, so we know where it'll show up eventually.
