New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

The lack of accessories on Warpath is a little underwhelming. We’ve been waiting on this guy for a while, and he comes with no weapons and a RBF head. Give me a berserker head on this guy and some knives!

Yeah I'm not sure why Hasbro didn't pack any knives with him.

Fortunately, I should have plenty of knives lying around for him to use.

Doesnt any Marvel Legends Deadpool figure have a knife?

Thor Laserpunch · 06-09-2020, 06:27 AM

It was pointed out in another thread that Warpath didn’t have the knives with that costume, they didn’t come until much later.

They're spending a TON of money on Mercari and Ebay...

Y'know, all this talk about Warpath and his knives... did he even HAVE those knives in the old X-Force days when he was wearing this costume? Or was he just the team's punchy-punchy man who left the blades to Shatterstar?

Punchy-punchy man until after House of M. Storm and Black Panther gave Warpath the vibranium knives.

Dustin bet me to it. As someone who read X-Force from issue 1, I can safely say he didn't use knives until the Brubaker X-Men run. Or at the very least, they didn't become his trademark until then. I always forget that he can fly too.

But he didn't fly under Ellis's writing under the "revolution era", not that you can't make this figure's era count for flying too. Personally I try to forget that Ellis's run is canon.

I love some of Ellis' stuff, but his run is where Synch got killed off in Generation X, so I likewise ignore it.

That is correct, those knives were a gift from Storm and made out of vibranium, Uncanny X-Men #475, 09/06

oh yes that's right! Man, not to derail but sometimes Ellis is SOOOO good and sometimes it's just horrible. I'm usually one side or another for most writers but he's extreme either way.

But to bring it back to LEgends, no figures from that era of Gen X or X-Force!

Agreed. To be fair, he was a co-plotter on the Revolution stuff, and even the parts that were Claremont were poorly recieved.

And yeah, going back to Legends, there's nothing from that period I want figures of, but please do give us some Gen-Xers! Regardless of costume choices, I'd love to have the whole team in some form or another. Especially Synch, Chamber, Husk, and Penance/Hollow.

Id like chamber to have three heads, wrapped, unwrapped and fixed!

Starlord67 · 06-09-2020, 01:35 PM

I still want Psylocke/Betsy Braddock in her ARMOR and her puffy sleeve costume! I doubt we will see the second but you just never know.

Also we need a new Longshot!

I imagine if people are already getting their hands on these, in packaging, we might not have too long of a wait after all. Maybe we'll start seeing some new stuff end of July/August.

I know of at least 3 reviewers that got their hands on the vintage Spider-Man wave already.

Yeah, MCUcollector24 said he way overpaid to get the wave to do reviews

I looked on ebay, I only see preorders.

It's an app similar to eBay, but without the auctions.

Also, if you guys are looking for the AoA wave, I'd check Wal-Mart. My local Wal-Mart here in Houston had at least 3 whole cases on the shelves. I already had the wave so I didn't need any.

Dr Kain · 06-09-2020, 07:15 PM

So YouTuber MCUCollector24 got the Spidey wave and the MJ head DOES indeed fit on the MJ body from the TRu 2 pack. Also, the Norman head fits great on the Everett Ross body. Oh, and the wall crawling hands from the Spidey that came with MJ are compatible with the enw Spidey. God dammit I can not wait for these to come out.

Veronica Mars · 06-09-2020, 07:15 PM

As far as AoA goes I'm really only getting Morph to go with Blink. What other Exiles do you guys think should be put in the line? Mimic and Nocturne for sure, but the team's roster was so fluid

Nocturne and Mimic, for sure. I'd love an Exiles Thunderbird, though he'd definitely be BAF/deluxe-sized. Sunfire, without a doubt. Maybe Magnus, despite his short run. Heather, either in human form or in white Sasquatch form. Beak and Namorita are contenders, too.

And another excuse for an AoA Sabretooth.
