Nice score, Nite! lol

[AFU]

Got these these this afternoon at Wal-Mart...And, at regular price!...Sorry scalpers!..IMO, MS Thanos size is perfect squat and burly, and the costume is comic accurate...I too, have the BAF Thanos...While I love the figure, Thanos is a bit on the small size, and like the costume, but not better than the costume on MS Thanos...

Note: Hasbro has to do a double wave, one for comic fans and one for movie fans...Maybe to BAFs...Something for all!

[Nostalgic]

I saw a couple of the new GOTG wave, but not the ones I'm looking for (always the way). Sooner than I expected, though.

Sorry but the MS line is in the 7'inch scale and Only the Watcher ever was compatible with the ML line be it the Toy Biz or Hasbro versions. Thanos is 6'8 not 7'8 . he has never been bigger than the Hulk or even his same hgt. But I do forget that artists nowadays tend to say to heck with what their listed hgts are supposed to be and are now turning the Hulk, Juggernaut, Thanos into 8-9 ft giants.

Juggernaut was originally 6'10-900lbs and Still slightly smaller than the Hulk who at the time was always listed at 7ft, 1000lbs. Now of course, they have to increase both in hgt and wgt cuz I guess being 6'10 & 7ft tall just isn't considered big enough for today's crowd. Even Colossus was never drawn as being 7'5 by John Byrne & Jim Lee, 2 of the best X-men artists ever. He was always drawn at around the 7ft mark. If a classic Bronze age Stalin Thanos is ever done, he should be no taller than 6.5 inches tall but with a more massive squat build. Or give me the infinity gauntlet 90s Ron Lim Thanos. Lim also knew how to draw Thanos at his correct scale. Lim also drew an awesome Silver Surfer! As did the master, George Perez, he always drew all his characters in their correct hgts/scale. Nowadays we have 7 ft Thors, 9 ft Hulks, even the Thing who is supposed to be just 6ft tall,is now drawn Hulk sized. I pray that when Hasbro does the Thing figure, that they do him at his correct scale and not 7 inch scale. Thing should be 6 inches tall and very wide/squat. The articulation count should not be in the 20s on him. Thing is a brawler and doesn't need so many POA as he does not do somersaults/backflips or karate kicks. Keep the POA in the low-mid teens. Give him alternate fists & open hands. Too much POA on him would break up the sculpt. The 2 pack TB Thing that came out in 2010 with Reed, was perfect in hgt, sculpt and POA. I wish I had not sold it off yrs ago.

Some Select figures definitely work with Legends because different artists have made some of those characters (like Thanos) much larger than their classic sizes. A few Select large characters are only slightly larger than their Hasbro BAF counterparts such as Juggernaut, Rhino, and Thanos. Now the Abomination Select on the other hand dwarfs the BAF but I know a lot of people want Abomination's size to match his name and the BAF doesn't really cut it. Standard-sized characters do not work though, I can't put my select movie Ant-Man next to my MCU legends because Paul Rudd's not a giant.

BTW that Thing two pack with Mr. Fantastic is by Hasbro and it was 2008, Toybiz was long gone by then. Still a good Thing figure.

[warmachine6]

Would anyone be able to hook us up with a Dark Phoenix 2 pack ?
I like in the UK and i spoke to our TRU , and they said they won't be getting these figures.... :'(
please send us a PM ,that way i will get notified.

I agree with you to a certain extent. Lim's Thanos was ideal appearance wise. Now on with the selects. They are slightyly taller and it doesn't work with all characters. Both my Venom and Carnage are the same height and tall which venom should be larger then carnage however they used the same mold.

But as i said in my prior post Rhino,red hulk,silvestri hulk, juggs, and abomination look correct. As sabah said as well select abomination looks right and much larger compared to the baf one. Hell most the hulk legends i've saw thus far look weak and only look slightly larger then the bucky/cap mold
..

Me personally i want large figures for large characters. I don't need thr heavy hitters from marvel compareable to miles morales in size. Just won't do it for me.

[Spyne98]

I had the Select Juggernaut and ended up selling him. He was one heavy figure. I am happy with the BAF, but that's just me. I also really like the Select Thanos and Colossus. I have both of them as my main versions of the characters.
On another note, my friend found me a WalMart Black Panther. He looks great. I wasn't going to buy him because I have the Hit Monkey wave one, but he looks so good. Now I gotta sell the other one.

I think you're kind of overestimating how much attention people pay to heights. Most of those characters can be fudged depending on the artist anyway since the sizes are almost never consistent from artist to artist.

But it used to be consistent, that's his point. Somewhere along the line artists stopped paying attention.

That's the beauty of comics. Personally I always pictured Juggernaut as the 9'5'' beast who stands eye to eye with the Hulk. Thing I always saw smaller but girthy. I always liked how the characters were drawn in the Capcom fighter games.

[TheBlueMarvel]

Proportional rubrics for heroes, like those found in the "Marvel Universe," are largely a thing of the past. And by extension, the scaling of figs in correlation to what's presented currently in comics has become a fool's errand. It's safe to say that between figs, movies, and books little to nothing matters anymore as it pertains to height and weight presentations. Hell, power sets don't even matter much any longer; I've read recent comments explaining that heroes' "peaks" are determined by feats, not actual powers when explaining how the Living Tribunal could be killed by Hyperion (really, WTF?).

Everything is now a matter of artistic expression, personal preference/character popularity, and the 'era' on which one was weaned within comic culture. I'm a Gen-X-er, so my sensibilities are heavily steeped in "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" and the "Marvel Universe." I bought HtDtMW when it came out (1884; when I was a wee tyke) and it taught me many things about illustrating and Marvel as a whole. What I learned was that Marvel had guidelines for the presentation of their characters, which in turn were enforced by lineal talents from the Buscema, Romita, and Kubert families (just to name a few). So, for me, and similar to what Parademon1 laid out (although I disagree about Uatu, despite using him in recent photos and his height being variable, the fig is too short for even the Legends line - additionally, I'd add Select Mephisto and Destroyer to your "acceptable" list), the proportions in today's comics and the scale of many figures are totally out of whack. That said, Baby Boomer comic fans might say the same thing about my bronze & copper-age impressions...and we all know, Millennials have no F'n clue about anything. (I kid, I kid...somebody has to consume this new tripe! ...again I joke lol)

In any event, I'd say put into your collection or take pics of whatever makes sense to you. The books no longer have a standard for presentation of these heroes (or a standard for almost anything else, for that matter) and we live in age where almost anything goes...not unlike (purposeful use a double negative) "The Lord of the Flies"....

I don't count Japanese interpretations of American media...

No, it was some ridiculous hypothetical debate I read between yougins' on a VS thread...don't quote me, but I believe some Beyonders offed Tribunal. I don't know for sure, I only read trades of stories in which I have an interest...

Edit: and for posterity..."How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" came out in 1984 not "1884," as my typo indicates...man, that'd make me something other than a Gen-X-er...an 'Immortal-er' would be more like it...

[Trivial Psychic]

Iron Fist: 5'11". Akuma: 5'10".

Whatever...these two look good together...

Same. That's my ideal Juggy.

[AFU]

The debate on size of figure should be your preference:

1. The recent Deadpool is great, but I prefer the Toybiz 2 pack version with Warpath.
2. The MS Colossus is another great figure, But prefer my Toybiz version in classic costume.
3. ToyBiz made a great FF Classic Thing, but the MS version is badass to me.
4. The BAF Abomination is awesome, but so is the much bigger MS version.
5. And, love the Toybiz BAF and 6 inch Apocalypse equally , even though sizes are different.
6. Pizza Spiderman is one of the best figures from Hasbro to date, but the skinny McFarlane Spidey is still my all time favorite.

Not really worried about size per se, more worried about how the artist captures the figures likeness, together with the functionality of the figure...

juggster is not bigger than hulk

[Boy Blunder]

Depending On The Artist is always at play with comics characters.

Also, the "official" height/weight charts are shite. A character who's over 5 feet would not weigh only 130 lbs unless they were a goddamn twig. Those stats are straight-up bupkus.

That first bit isn't entirely true of comics. Sure, all artists have their own interpretations for characters due to each (hopefully...) having their own idiosyncratic style. However, whether you are inclined to believe so or not, Marvel at one point had strict guidelines (for better or worse) dictating how their characters were to be depicted across the medium.

About that second bit, not that I disagree, but tell that to your doctor and see what she/he says...

The first looks to be Erik Larson, who, although I like some of his Savage Dragon work, can be regarded as all over the place with his proportions...and the second looks like privately commissioned work...and not very good commissioned work at that...I doubt that dude's gonna find steady work within the industry...jus' sayin'...
