'Bucky Cap' is the standard heroic build, used on your average hero/villain. Examples include the aforementioned (and shown earlier) Bucky Barnes Captain America; Mandroid-series Baron Zemo; Ultron-series Giant Man; Hobgoblin-series Daredevil; Warlock-series Cyclops; and many, many more.
'Grim Reaper' is the slightly bulkier heroic build, bigger than the Bucky Cap body, but not as big as, say, Tiger Shark or Captain Britain. While the Ultron-series Grim Reaper was not necessarily the first figure to use the body-type, a lot of people ID it that way as shorthand. Other figures include the Abomination-series Wonder Man; Walgreens-exclusive Punisher; and quite a few others (these are all off the top of my head, mind).

So this is very interesting! I was out for lunch and ran by Walgreens, saw an opened case of the X-Men legends, which matches up with what people have been seeing at Walgreens. What was interesting is that the case had two Polarises (Polaris? Polarium? Polari?), two OML and one of each of the rest except none of Cyclops. It was a full case.

Maybe the retailers are getting different cases....or this could have been a fluke.

The newest editions at home...

Love that Blastaar. Every SDCC set the last few year's there's always at least one figure that is a "must have", that was the figure from the 2014 set for me. Though the rest of the set was nice too.

Im more than likely going to preorder this entire wave, however im already thinking of getting rid of that vulture, im also on the fence about the homemade costume spidey as well.

Found the X-Men wave at my Walgreens, no Cyclops or Colossus in sight.

Oh okay, thanks this helps. Yeah, I hear Bucky Cap mentioned a lot.

I checked 3 Walgreens in the area, no X-Men figures.

I'm excited!

Thanks, Arkers...I will check my local Walgreens soon for the X Wave...I thought they were going to be exclusive to Taget? Guess not, very happy about this..Also, like others, saw no Abomination or Space Venom Wave is mass or at all at Walmart, Target, or Toys R Us...I would say in my area Marvel Legends are being distributed less and less over the last 3 years, and the new waves have not been consistently shipped out, and old stock is abundant...My fears for X-Men wave no hitting my area are well warranted, in my case (Warklock BAF), no pun intended...lol...Any one have a fix for the Psycke figure of the X Wave, yet!..I reading reviews and the yellow bands around the legs seem to be very troublesome for most collectors...

[Order 66]

I see the Guardians wave is finally on Amazon at reduced retail on everyone but Angela. Hopefully in a month or two Cyclops will show up at a reasonable price.

Target just had a "first" shot with this wave- sort of an exclusive "window" I'm still waiting on them from my EE rep because of it- With Walgreens finally putting them out it probably won't be long before Walmart (and my EE guy) finally get theirs

dude walgreens here in florida don't get all the goodies like everyone else does. some either have next to nothing of toys or they're still stocking marvel legends from 3 years ago....


In other news today for myself, Darkhawk came in the mail today. Amazon delivered early. however this one has bad paint on him, and once again the helmet blemish lol. i'll hold onto him until i find a clean on out in the wild.

[EvilMonkeyPope]

I wanted to like Polaris, but it's a mediocre execution of a costume I don't like. Unfortunately the base figures I'm interested in customizing into my ideal Polaris are quite pricey.

Well that sucks. I guess I should prepare to have Amazon send me replacement after replacement until I get one that is right.

Angela: Dragon Rider...Having way too much fun with this figure.

[Weapon X]

What franchise are those figures from?

[Dr Kain]

That's Ra from Yu-Gi-Oh!.

What sort of stands are you guys using? I don't want to break the bank, but I do want to buy a few to get a big dislpay up.

[Archangel]

How big does the Mavel Select Gambit stand next to the Legends figures? I have an old ToyBiz Gambit, but I've never been thrilled with him. The Select figure looks pretty sharp.

[Augustus_Cole]

Just watched the first ep of Iron Fist....
and wow...my personal opinion...
i give it like 4 out of 10...it was like a CW show...or worse..
the writing..the action sequences (what minor ones there were)..the directing...nothing was really good to me....hoping it'll pick up...

************************************************** ****************

I thought this was a cool Drax (original Drax) custom....
Marvel Legends Custom figures | eBay


************************************************** **************



My pickups yesterday





as others have stated...this is a really good Groot figure...Rocket is pretty damn good too..

Gamora...while a nice...her legs really are too long...look where her center of gravity is vs. her leg length...that's some high %@$$*

I would guess he's too big for Legends, most if not all Select figures are in 7" scale. Really only the big characters (Hulk, Thanos, Juggernaut, etc.) can work with Legends.

[Archangel]

I figured that, but I saw a couple images earlier in the thread with the Select Gambit in their ML collection. Hopefully we get a new ML Gambit (that doesn't look like Channing Tatum) in the near future.
