New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

By "classic Absorbing Man", do you mean the purple pants version, cause I prefer that look for a new standard sized figure of Absorbing Man.

sh002 · 07-29-2020, 02:36 PM

Cool.

StuartGreen2019 · 07-29-2020, 02:38 PM

@Hulkwummy - Yes, I did. I included the photo of the 1993 Marvel Masterpieces Absorbing Man card with the purple pants in my post. Hasbro has so many characters left to make into figures for the first time and/or re-make, I'm sure it'll be a while before we get to him. Whenever they do, though, it'll be worth the wait.

I also added to my post by mentioning classic green savage Hulk that's not a Build-A-Figure, exclusive or two-pack, classic Spidey with the side arms of the chest emblem, classic red suit Daredevil, red suit Angel with the halo on his chest, Mr. Hyde, classic Luke Cage, orange-and-black suit Leader with the "giant brain" head and classic Kaine. I just couldn't resist.

And keep in mind, everything I included on my wishlists was the SHORT version. The Top 10 lists are never enough, especially since X-Men characters (rightfully) fill up the selections most of the time.

@sh002 - Nice photos! Fingers crossed we'll see some new figures over the next few days. It'd be a shame if we had to wait till October or so for the next big reveals.

Glad I got the Nimrod set on preorder but that Psylocke outfit does nothing for me.

I’ll let you know either way. After spending $3k plus on Legends in under a month while unemployed, I’m really trying to use my $10 in Walgreens rewards on that bad boy.

Starlord67 · 07-29-2020, 02:56 PM

Man...the Hellfire Club set is absolutely beautiful!! Love the capes on the ladies..headsculpts are great! I'll be using the Selene head for sure but that Jean Head is Awesome!

Hulkwummy · 07-29-2020, 03:20 PM

I like the Thunderbird figure, the boot cuffs could use a little fixing up, but other than that, great figure.

Thor Laserpunch · 07-29-2020, 03:24 PM

They just didn’t slide the fringe dealies all the way up. I think he looks pretty good.

Captain Nash · 07-29-2020, 03:46 PM

I really need to see a picture of the Selene head on Jean. I mean, I know I'm going to get this set (hopefully not from ebay but it is what it is), but I'm reading things that the shading is off in skin tone. That's....disappointing if true and not just lighting.

They're mostly pretty dry, at least around me... unless you want Magik. They've got tons of those.

Thor Laserpunch · 07-29-2020, 04:28 PM

Doesn’t hurt to check. She was out around Wayne. I checked maybe 7 stores in mid-Delaware earlier this week and haven’t seen anything. Even IM 2020 is mostly gone.

Anyone else to reading these? Along with Excalibur, they didn't quite shove the new X-Men agenda down your throat. Hellions has the a bit of horror comic feel to it, and the new X-Factor seems like it's going to be a nod to the mystery/crime genre. I think it's definitely time for an updated Rachel and Daken

JCarterVA · 07-29-2020, 05:05 PM

Target order arrived 2 days early. Green Goblin, Sunspot, Gwen, MJ and Electro are all amazing. Overall Peter is good except the glasses. Has anyone removed them? Does it ruin the figure?

I've heard a lot people replacing the glasses with the glasses from the lightning series blue ranger

I haven't yet, but definitely plan on it. I don't love the X-Men's current situation, but I really like all the stories surrounding it. So far I'm trusting they have a plan that will make the staging worth it.

Seconded! (Other than Wolverine, anyway.)

Hulkwummy · 07-29-2020, 07:27 PM

Anybody want Hasbro to remake the Jim Lee Jubilee figure with the Build-A-Figure head sculpt? Just asking.

I’d gladly buy another Wolverine to get this version of the team.

This could be a battle ravaged Wolvie from his fight with the Reavers.

Nope! I have both figures, and the headsculpts on the 90s Jubilee are better!

Hulkwummy · 07-29-2020, 09:17 PM

Personally for me, they should have reused the Build-a-Figure head sculpt for the 90s Jim Lee figure, because she rarely wears her glasses over her eyes, she mostly wears them in her hair, the only times she wears the glasses on hers eyes is when she's using her powers to blind her enemies.

MeLikeJinx · 07-29-2020, 09:43 PM

Man... I wonder how many different Storms we will end up with when all is said and done. I don't even really like Storm and I already have 3 of her.
