New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

Damn. I can't believe another unlikely character in my top ten got made. But it sucks that Armadillo is a Build-a-figure in this No Way Home wave. I was getting Shriek anyway but I'm surprised by how Morlun turned me around on not wanting him. I wish I had a friend around that was one of those strictly MCU people because that would make life a whole lot easier. But I want this guy so much that I'll just try the secondary market. I've honestly been having a lot of weird luck lately with my obscure and random wants. Xemnu, Frogman, Stilt-man, White Rabbit, Jocasta, Psycho Man. Also Meggan is very nice. I still just might buy the whole set because I could see Shadowcat going up on the aftermarket and I'd rather have her before deciding whether I want her or not. Those skrulls look really nice. I like their laser guns. Also pretty cool to see how Galactus is coming along. Only 300 now from Silver Surfer. This one has a much better headsculpt too.

As of this post now, just 180 away from unlocking SS!

Glad this HasLab is starting to pick up the pace, again. Looking forward to seeing the next tiers, especially the fourth one that Jesse Falcon was gushing over in the initial Galactus reveal video.

Love the troop builders, wish I could get them in Australia. About time we saw a new comic Maria Hill used as a female SHIELD army builder base though.
The 3-pack is great, and I the only one who likes Meggans smile?

I'm going to wait until we have her in hand to pass final judgement but in the pics, it's a lot

Dr Kain · 08-26-2021, 09:35 PM

Finally backed Galactus. Give me that new Surfer!

I'm still hoping that a Kirby inspired head is one of the tiers.

Boogieman4hire · 08-26-2021, 10:14 PM

47 orders away from Silver Surfer.

Boogieman4hire · 08-26-2021, 10:49 PM

29 now. There's only a sliver till we see Silver.
EDIT: Don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22!

Boogieman4hire · 08-26-2021, 11:48 PM

17003. There's no ignorin' but we've got Norrin. Tell your Dad we have Radd.

TheBlueMarvel · 08-27-2021, 04:25 AM

About Morlun...I didn't want to nitpick yesterday, however I do hope he gets fists; he did do a lot of beating the hell out of Peter and the prospect of having to sort a fist solution for Morlun (along with Namor/Wonder Man/& older versions of Cap - middle-large body mold) is disheartening. The coloring also feels a bit off and he wore more of a loose fitting turtleneck/wrap than an ascot - the character's ostentatious enough (damn near wearing a cut-away tux) without giving him an ascot to boot. I still like the fig, as the height seems suitable (hoping for a 7" figure). Morlun was gaunt, but he had a tall and corded physique much a Hugh Jackman, or Chris Hemsworth (before he packed on recent muscle), or maybe a Dwight Howard build might best describe what I'm getting at. This figures satisfies in that regard, but there are some small things regarding the presentation about which I have druthers. I prefer Morlun's initial JRJR depiction over what has come since, but all the looks are close enough to the foundation for me to be excited for the toy.

Also, I'm not exactly feeling the new Surfer head nor color, as distinguishing as the elements might be in separating it from the previous Surfers. However, I did place an additional order for two more (as promised, Hasbro, if you pay attention to these threads) to help the efforts. I'm sincerely hoping for at least Firelord on the next stretch. But if subsequent goals include Redshift, Morg, and Stardust, well, I might just triple dip (again, Hasbro, if you are paying attention).

Dr Kain · 08-27-2021, 07:53 AM

I'm hoping for a Jack Kirby-esque head in the next tier, but if it's going to be a herald, then let it be Terrax.

I'm not actually sure that there's going to be a 'next' tier based on the language used on one of the Ark's front-page update articles.

Sucks ass, if that's true.

Who says I'm selling those jammies! Lol The Galacti (I like that plurative term progression, by the way) ARE the investment. I'll give one to my bud (as with one of the upcoming Sentinels) and auction two to the highest bidders. I'll wait to see what Nova and Surfer are drawing by X-mass 2022 to determine whether I will auction them individually.

Dan said there was more room for other tiers beyond the silhouettes of SS and Nova though.

Dull gray? He looks more accurate in colors to the comics to me.

Red said the same earlier. I hope you are both right.

Mobb One · 08-27-2021, 03:31 PM

Tier 3 is MORG!!! 20K unlock

check Hasbro pulse social media accounts

Starlord67 · 08-27-2021, 04:03 PM

Morg!! Heck yes!!!

hasbroherofan · 08-27-2021, 04:05 PM

Archangel · 08-27-2021, 04:24 PM

Awesome, I’m glad it’s nothing that would tempt me to army build like the Sentinel. I hope they find more backers and unlock him.

Captain Nash · 08-27-2021, 04:31 PM

Hey those that want Morg, Ihope they get that tier, it's a cool reveal.

Preordered Morlun today even though he's a 2022 release. Will figure out what to do with that, ha. I'm just glad my #1 spider-man related want is getting made.

Dr Kain · 08-27-2021, 04:38 PM

Not familiar with Morg, so that's disappointing. Would it have been so hard to have given us a Kirby inspired head?
