Just looked it up. Giant man looks like he's gunna be HUGE

[Trivial Psychic]

Just looked it up myself. I was lukewarm about the wave initially, but I feel better about them seeing them in packaging. Easy to see now what's changed with the new Cap, as he has less white on his body.

Giant Man does look like he's gonna be a big one...standing in at least over 12 inches tall, possibly 14 inches like Apocalypse back in the ToyBiz days...

Hey I posted this somewhere else, but was wondering

Where can I buy these figure stands for my marvel legends figures? I'd totally buy a ton of them

Picture is from ToyFair 2016

It's a piece of plastic the figures are glued to.

[xjuza]

i hope this new spider-man body is only going to be for this figure, cause im still waiting for an updated scarlet spider (kaine) and i wouldnt want him to be smaller then the other current line up. i mean yea they new spiderman will fit more in with the current other heroes that legends has, but not for the spider men theme figures. i mean he looks the same size as miles. which again is a great size for an avangers display but not spiderman themed, which is a main reason i will buy the figure.

Captain America
Winter Soldier
Falcon
Hawkeye
Scarlet Witch

Iron Man Mark 47
Black Widow
War Machine Mark 3
Vision
Black Panther

The two wild cards are Spider-Man and Ant-Man.

Boy, oh boy, wait until Infinity War...LOL.

I see that Wave 2 of the Civil War wave are starting to appear on Ebay. I posted this a while ago and even I thought I was crazy, but 3 months later and all we are missing are Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Vision. There's a possibility for a 3 pack but that's being too optimistic. I know a lot of people don't care for movie figures, but I think even I just realized that the MCU is BIG. It's the biggest movie franchise of all time, and the sole purpose of them changing costumes every movie is to sell merchandise, including Marvel Legends. Hasbro has done a wonderful job of releasing figures for the movies, and seeing how big these movies are, I just don't see them slowing down. Here's hoping for a full Marvel Legends Civil War Display.

I think that the new Spider-Man is supposed to be Ultimate Spider-Man, so a teenage version. I also think they share the mold. I am hopeful that with this body type, they can give us other teenage characters like a proper WWII Bucky and maybe some of the younger X-Men like Anole.

[hasbroherofan]

Damn, the Giant-Man BAF looks huge.

There's a lot of smaller teenagers they could use the new Spider-buck for. Nova immediately comes to mind.

x-men need to stick to main characters its not like they can be put in other waves, and Anole (never really heard of them)? i mean the buck would be cool for chamber, x-man, or nightcrawler.

I really don't see that there is anything wrong with getting some non main X-Men characters. When we consider all the non main characters we are getting outside of the X-Men offerings, I feel like to say such a thing would be a double standard.

[Spyne98]

I agree with Nash. There are a lot of non main characters that we have gotten. Like Cotton Mouth, or Machine Man, or Red Guardian. I think the mutants need some love too. Another Wolverine or Cyclops... not so much. But Generation X characters, or 90's X-Force and X-Factor. Bring it on! Considering some of them were depicted as teens during the 90's, that new Spider-Man buck could really work.

Not to mention, Anole has been a major player in the X-Books in the past decade - not Scott/Logan-tier, but definitely second tier and constantly around.

[Kirathis]

Yes, the new traditional looking Spider-Man is Ultimate Spidey Peter Parker. He's about 16-17 through most of his run. Miles is slightly younger but was generally drawn to be about the same size so no surprise that they are using the same buck for both.

As for the X characters, there are so few of them made right now that if all they do is main characters, each time we get an X wave it would be the same characters over and over again.

[Captain Nash]

going back to the X-characters, if a second wave is in the works, maybe for next year, the ones I can see Hasbro doing are:

Colossus, Nightcrawler, Psylocke (jim lee or other?), Storm (jim lee) Cyclops (Jim lee), Gambit (Jim Lee), Angel and Bishop or X-23, as the other A-lister X-Men that were not included in this wave. Though I really want to see other completely new figures made, and will posit that a new Banshee is absolutely needed, I can see them going this route to cover all the popular bases.

[donmeca2020]

so considering the new cap wave is now landing on ebay, that means that they should be in stores for all you northers and west coasters very soon, and that means us collectors down south will have another month or two until they drop here.....

Sometimes i hate living in south florida....

and whats wrong with the main ones? youre telling me everyone would rather have an anole figure over a updated gambit? or nightcrawler. and i hope they just stick with the now era of x-men , cause the jim lee are cool and all but most the x-men they did is based on marvel now, to keep it being flooded with the same x-man they should just keep it now. i mean storm is now, cyclops is now havok is now, jubilee is now, i think iceman and cable is supposed to be too (idk confused on that one). btw that was one thing that stopped me from buying the magneto well that, and his legs werent updated.

No, I did not say that. Firstly, it should be pointed out that everyone has their own idea of what is considered a "main" character. As Boy Blunder pointed out, "Anole has been a major player in the X-books in the past decade". It would be fair to say many X fans would now consider him a "main" character and could very well like to have a figure of him.

Secondly, what I was stating is that, if X waves start being produced with some regularity, having the same characters in every wave would become annoying for many long-term collectors. Sort of on the same level as the fact nearly every Avengers wave has Cap, Iron Man or both. In that case, yes, I would very much rather have an Anole than an umpteenth version of say Wolverine. Naturally not everyone will agree but I can speak from experience on this thread that most of us tend to groan when yet another Cap or Iron Man shows up in a wave.

Though none of those figures were released in the same assortment. Those figures were each the "fringe" character from their respective waves. Hasbro's current trend has about 1 (2 if lucky) fringe characters in each wave. You gotta have the Iron Mans, Spideys, and Wolvies, if you want the Cotton Mouths, Machine Men, or Red Guardians. Necessary evils and all that.

I see Hasbro doing something like this as well. With X-men Legends being a relatively "new" venture, I see Hasbro taking the "Better safe, than sorry" strategy and packing the waves with A-Listers. Once they build up the X-men Legends brand, I see them adding in more "fringe" characters.

Cheapest I've found Spider Gwen is 29.99 ..... walmart had like 3 cases of that wave, 15.83 ea. complete except for Spider Gwen; what type of SH- is that man

There is nothing wrong with the main ones. I would say the 12 X-men from the Blue and Gold run from the early 90s, Cable, Deadpool, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, Emma and X-23 are far and away your core X-Men and it's understandable there would be a focus on those.

That does not mean though that people are not fans of other characters. And if we have wave after wave of the same characters it WILL get old. The first 2-3 waves maybe not, and it's almost a given that Hasbro will want to cover their bases, after they're done once, will that be ALL that people want to see?

Also, just because Marvel Now is the now, it won't be forever. At some point it will be Marvel then. Just as many people have a sense of nostalgia for the Jim Lee or Byrne X-Men that's their right, if what you like is Marvel Now, that's great, you're right to. But the line and designs will move on to something else, and that will be the focus then. Focus, but it shouldn't be purely that. I think a throwback design is not a bad thing to include at times.

Finally, I do not recommend begrudging people's want of non core characters. We all have our favorites, some are core and some are more obscure. It won't seem as logical to stick to core characters when a second tier character you want made hasn't been made because of the want of Hasbro to stick to only core characters.

ah ok i get it, i was thinking they meant if marvel legends stead the same pace of one x-men wave a year, but you mean if they do like two or three waves a year. but i would still love the whole theme to complete the x-men now xD maybe with the younger versions made too with that voltron look going on.
