I still have to snag one too. The only thing I didn't find at Toysrus before they closed.

Edit: Actually that's not true, I never found the Shuri Panther and Klaw 2 pack either.

Edit 2: Crap, I take it all back

I forgot about the Antman and Stinger 2 pack AND the Thor/Groot/Rocket 3 pack.

Alternatively, Ringside Collectibles still carries their Elite Scale Ring exclusive, which was the ring (same scale as the three I just mentioned) and comes with the ring skirts for Wrestlemania 32 and Raw. Ringside is the BBTS of Wrestling Toys, and is your best bet for finding them at a good price. I got my ring at TRU a while back when they finally started their fire sale for a good price, but due to the figures they come with (currently the only places you can get Goldberg or Jinder Mahal) the tend to go for a higher price on the secondary market.

Thanks!!! i found one without the figure that seems to be a decent price. Any info on any custom skirts that are things OTHER than wrestling?? eg. Boxing/MMA/GENERIC wrestling..??...thanks..

I might be looking into downsizing some of my collection soon as well.....nothing too crazy but a lot of redundancy....no point in having like 5 versions of the same character when realistically only one is going to be displayed....unless I'm just digging the figure that much. I'm probably going to keep all of the MCU Thors I have at the very least.

Civil War Black Panther is probably getting sold when we get that new one with the Chadwick Boseman head in December.

This may sound strange but I really want a Kingpin in his skivvies. I'm reading Frank Miller's run on Daredevil right now and it seems Kingpin often liked to practice his martial arts in his underwear.

On a related note, it's kind of funny hearing some of you complain about having to buy the same wave twice to have a Shadow King and a Kingpin figure. No way would I do that (particularly since I don't want most of this wave anyway). I'd be good with just swapping heads and having the figure rotate between different displays (X-Men, Daredevil & Spider-man).

Me too. Hell, I'd even support paying more for deluxes and keeping the standard legends at around $20. It seems like Star Wars Black Series is going this route.

Also does the new cape fit the old Dr. Strange?

Yeah, that Time Stone effect annoys me too. I'm probably going to remove it at some point.
You know this actually brings up a minor gripe I have with some of the 10th anniversary figures. A few of them are too scene specific for my tastes. I don't want to display Strange always using the Time Stone, Pepper in workout clothes or Hulk always under the influence of the Scarlet Witch.

As for Strange's cape, the new cape is supposedly more accurate but has a peg. The problem is the old Strange figure does not have a peg hole on the back.

That new head puts the old one to shame in so many ways.

I sold all of my comic book figures this summer to focus on MCU Marvel Legends. Last time I counted I was up to 144, but I may need to do an update. It took everything I had to pass on The Thing when I saw him last week. I keep telling myself "be patient and we will see them in the MCU soon (I'm betting by 2021)". And for the longest time I was against having the battle damaged Iron Man and Captain America, 2 extra Star Lords, BAF Thanos, etc....but I finally found a way to display them that justifies it for me. Instead of displaying my figures by films and phases, I now display them by franchise. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man & The Wasp, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther. Makes much more sense and allows me to save space for future MCU Marvel Legends (Sequels to existing franchises, Captain Marvel, The Eternals, Fantastic 4, X-Men, Black Widow) for my Detolfs.

If you're going strictly the MCU route, then the way you have them displayed makes perfect sense. Definitely makes it easier to know where to put the 10,000 Iron-Man figures we've received lol.

Me, I'm cool with just having an MCU Heroes display and MCU Villains display (and it's pretty awesome that we actually have enough villains now to fill a display. Before last year, I think all we had were Ultron, Winter Soldier and Loki if I'm not mistaken. I guess Baron Mordo sorta counts?).

One thing is finding out a way to get rid of my extra Star-Lords, since I've basically kitbashed the 3 we got last year into what I consider my "ultimate" Star-Lord. I guess one can be moved to a comic Guardians display though.

I agree. I mean im not that into ff but damn its solid. If they'd used a smaller body for torch its be the perfect representation of the team.

LMDBO!!!!

Add Iron Monger to the list of villains. And you are so correct about us finally having villains to go opposite our heroes.

I almost don't want to count that Iron Monger because it's technically not Legends and too small lol

I'd love to see Hasbro do a proper Marvel Legends Movie Iron-Monger in proper scale, somewhere in-between Gladiator Hulk and Hulkbuster. He's by far the best villain from any of the Iron-Man movies.

Loving the look of this set more and more. How does the AIM Beekeeper head look on the repainted Paladin body? Goofy, or just ridiculous enough to work?

Goofily ridonculous enough to work.

Tim · 10-09-2018, 10:10 AM

Just picked up a Iron monger(Mcu) legends scale from letgo. He was only $2 so I definitely jumped at that to put him in my Mcu display.

Bo Ttef · 10-09-2018, 11:34 AM

Originally I was going to build it as a just a big MCU anniversary diorama with a battle tearing up the streets and subway... But after building the set I decided not to "battle damage" it so I just briefly tossed the MCU (and some Sony guys that haven't been re-done yet) figures in to see how big of a collection it would end up being... There's a lot of 'em (Mordo went with the bad guys since his last act in Doc Strange clearly shows him no longer on the side of good...)

Had I gone the battle route (and I still might I guess) Here are the rough breakdowns of what it would eventually show...

Do not like it at all. I wouldn't display it like that...even "joking around"...

Bo Ttef · 10-09-2018, 11:59 AM

....but the entire MCU (other than YellowJacket because it's such an awesome figure) is packed in a plastic bin the garage now... Ha!

Ha like wise. That’s the only Mcu Hulk I own. I never cared for the legends one. I felt they were too small
Awesome collection btw. That Shuri and Hawkeye customs look badass man.
