New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

@DarkToyLord

Those Boss Fight figures are 3.75 and they look great. With a couple of additional (successful) 3.75 kickstarters, I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro renewed its efforts on the Marvel 3.75 line.

Much like Wrecking Crew people are now kicking themselves for not picking up the guys when they were released. Oh also I guess Constrictor has been released and could go in that group.

The only serp soce i liked was pink haired diamonback. The rest seemed meh.

Great idea! Onslaught is literally one of most "shadowy" drawn Marvel characters. Looks perfect!

That is why it is worthless to me to have Bulldozer when I don't have the other 3.

Cottonmouth, on the other hand, is in my collection with the hope that we are going to get more members of the Serpent Society. I would love Bushmaster, but I'm not sure Hasbro will ever do him since he requires a specialized body that can't be reused later unless they want to do Neon Viper Bushmaster.

Your whole post had me rolling but that was great. Thanks for the laughs.

The really sad part is they could do so much more with the smaller line. Look at SH Figuarts. They are about midway between the size of the Marvel lines. Granted they are made more for a collector market than mass market.

Thanks a lot. I already have it prepped for when the magneto head comes out.

Cap wolf you can skip (I did) , the onslaught piece (cape) is not necessary, I have seen Onslaught drawn without it. Cap wolf will pegwarm when he is on clearance then thats the time to get him. Whirlwind and cottonmouth will be for trade later.

3. Jim Lee Gambit
4. Shadowcat in her 80's costume.
5. Mr. Sinister
6. Marvel Girl in her late 60's/early 70's miniskirt
7. Firestar

10. Silver Samurai
11. 90's Sunspot
12. Toad

20. Classic Sebastian Shaw
21. Classic White Queen
22. Classic Mystique
23. Speedo Namor
24. Classic Quicksilver

I just wish tasky came with his turtle shelll. Yah im definitely offloading whirlwind and cottonmouth. I was never a fan of them. Id keep cap if i didnt have the tarjay 3 pack one which is my definitive cap. Maybe someone will want the figs, other than tasky of course.

Charliegone · 04-01-2016, 08:14 PM

Anyone get their Dorkside Cap Onslaught wave yet? Seems like I've been waiting forever.

I saw one whole side of an end aisle display at Wal Mart that had 2 cases worth of the Onslaught wave in it. I found it funny that the display is for Civil War but did not have the Civil War figures in it. I was excited for a split second.

So out of your top 21 there's only one figure that hasn't seen a 6 inch release before?!?
At least you can say that both ToyBiz and Hasbro have had good character selections.

(to be fair, I'd like most of these redone as well, but in a healthy mix of unreleased characters)

Uhm ... well over a month ago. Maybe send a friendly inquiry their way? They've always been super kind and helpful to me.

warmachine6 · 04-02-2016, 02:12 AM

@daetrin lol yeah i think the only obscure character for me i saw were 3 which were scoruge \ demolotion man,cottonmouth and Judith chambers
most of them have be issued a new mold.
I just want to get characters i know of, that also are not really up to date on comics at the moment. This was also from my check list on who to get
so spitfire being the only character nobody has made unless as a custom

early buyer from the first preorder and got my set pretty darn fast.

donmeca2020 · 04-02-2016, 11:45 AM

anyone preorder the latest cap wave? i've been tempted however i really only want a few of them out of the entire wave.... you guys who've been collecting already know how it is when you get stuck with figures you don't want.

Trivial Psychic · 04-02-2016, 11:46 AM

Dorkside has been taking a while with everyone it seems. I'm still waiting on my Kanan and Ahsoka Black Series orders, which kinda irritates me since I keep seeing new reviews popping up on a daily basis on Youtube, not to mention people here on the Ark finding him in the wild.

I also had pre-ordered Jango, but had found him in the wild a while back. I just remembered about it, and ended up cancelling it early last week, and it too still had not shipped.

I went ahead and preordered the wave from BBTS since I already have store credit for them. Really wanted Black Panther and Nuke, sort of wanted Nick Fury and Red Guardian, Iron-Man seemed decent enough and I had/have zero interest in the new Captain America figure. Then seeing Giant-Man, it looks like a really awesome BAF, maybe the best one we've gotten from Hasbro. 5/7 ain't bad so I figured why not lol.

Boy Blunder · 04-02-2016, 03:35 PM

Bless that random Walmart pricing - nabbed Whirlwind and Demolition Man today for that very nice price. Now Onslaught is almost finished - just need the right arm from Cottonmouth, and then the X-Men wave for the proper head.

Incidentally, anyone looking to unload that arm and/or buy the Red Skull head?

VonPooten · 04-02-2016, 04:49 PM

Some fabric cape appreciation, as they are surprisingly easy to make and add another dimension to your displays.

I love those man. And i want that polaris!

SymbiSpidey · 04-02-2016, 06:18 PM

Wow that Polaris custom looks amazing!

And do we have a rough estimate of when BBTS will get the new Cap wave in? And for that matter when Namor and Punisher come out, as well as the already announced waves?

redfox · 04-02-2016, 07:17 PM

@VonPooten- I love the long, flowing, dramatic capes and yours look fantastic!!

AND DAT POLARIS THO!!!
