I don't know if any of you guys saw, as I didn't see this mentioned anywhere recently, but in a Dan Who Reviews video, Dan talked with his friend Rich about a leaked listing of a second wave of "Marvel Legends: Gamerverse" figures that included Colossus/Iceman, Gambit/Rogue, Magneto/Storm, Cyclops/Hulk, and Spider-Man/Doctor Doom. Blackheart and Capcom Sentinel were listed as Deluxe releases. Dan and Rich thought the listings were not real, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they did a second wave. Since Dan Yun said he was aware fans were disappointed with the head sculpts for the Maximum Series Hulk, maybe we'll see a "Gamerverse" Hulk figure sooner than later. And since "X-Men '97" Cyclops got a re-release recently, they can easily just give him new head sculpts and an optic blast to pair him with Hulk or someone else.

I swear, if I have to buy another fucking Iceman just to get a pinless Colossus I'm going to be pissed! In fact, I'm going to send the new one right back to Amazon as I still haven't thrown out his packaging.

That's showin' em! They're gonna be like,"Holy Shit! That Dr. Kain guy must be SO PISSED! He's returnin' stuff! Hasbro better get their act together! Or he may return MORE STUFF! But uh...why's he buying the stuff to begin with? Well, because he likes buying stuff to bitch about it then return stuff! DUH!"

lol

I don't actually do the last part though unless a figure really sucks ass. The last time I did that was a Cheetor figure that came out in the Transformers classics line. I had the Target employee laughing with the insults I was making about how bad the figure was.

EvilMonkeyPope · 12-03-2025, 05:49 PM

Hasbro Pulse has the 97 Sentinel at $175 in my order history, but then when I look at the item page it jumps to $220. Does anyone understand the discrepancy?

I think some need to pump their brakes…

We all know that “if” there is another Iceman, he will have some tweaks to him…

Depending on the tweaks, like paint apps, eye color, and new translucent color, I can be swayed! But, let’s wait till the end product!

Note: I love my new Iceman, he is my favorite version yet! Too me, he is far better than the rest that came before him, by far! Can Hasbro improve the Iceman figure, yes! But, give them a chance to get the finished product out before criticizing unjustly…

Note 2: The Marvel Legends teams have done a great job overall, Don’t believe me, try to make your top ten ML right now or even top 15! To me, it’s tough, and the year is not over!

Note 3: Hasbro, please develop a point system like Nike, Adidas or Reebok! This would allow Pulse Membership members or fans of ML to purchase more products at a discount, and keep fans happy loyal to some extent! Have had a Pulse membership for longest, just getting free shipping basically is really lame, imo!

Dr Kain · 12-03-2025, 09:26 PM

I opened up Mystique. Her having pinless legs and double joint elbows is awesome. I didn't realize her dress wasn't painted on her back, so her blue skin looks weird having TWO peg holes in the back of it. No idea why there are two when the previous figure only had one.

If you didn't already buy them you have to pay a tarrifying tax on them.

Anyway, Walmart has shipped my Mysterios. YAY!!

EvilMonkeyPope · 12-03-2025, 10:20 PM

But it won't let the Sentinel be added to carts at the possible tariff price?

StuartGreen2019 · 12-04-2025, 01:45 PM

The leaked listing was real! There's a new "Marvel Legends: Spider-Man" figure of the Lizard being released and he's got two Todd McFarlane-esque head sculpts too!

There's also a new 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' figure of Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man!
https://x.com/preterniadotcom/status...343202/photo/1

A new Red She-Hulk was also revealed. Maybe she's in the rumored "The Incredible Hulk" wave?

Dr Kain · 12-04-2025, 02:18 PM

Wait, so they're rereleasing the BAF Lizard over the superior vintage carded one? Worse, it still comes with the horrid velociraptor head AND that awful tail? The least they could have done was included the bendy wire tail refitted for that figure.

On board for both, and the Lizaed suppose to be the BAF Lizard repainted from ML wave from the past, and will be coming with extra head(s)!

Veronica Mars · 12-04-2025, 04:03 PM

Why are they reusing the Gray She-Hulk instead of the new one? Typical 2 steps forward 1 step back

jwyss234 · 12-04-2025, 06:11 PM

Here's some clear images of The Amazing Spider-Man, the deluxe Lizard, and Red She-Hulk.

The new colors on Spider-Man aren't movie accurate, but it does look nice. I'll be interested to see if they've addressed any of the QC issues with the hips being too tight.
I'm very excited to see the Lizard. I was looking over the old ToyBiz 5 inch Spider-Man line the another day, and wishing that we could get a Lizard like the one in the Web Force series. Lo and behold, he was revealed about a day later.
I can't say much about Red She-Hulk. I know she's Betty Ross, but I'm not familar with the character beyond that. Hopefully we'll get more Hulk related characters.

Dr Kain · 12-04-2025, 10:25 PM

Funny how everyone hated that Lizard for its horrible tail, the knees that are useless and immobile, and him having to be hunched over at all times, but now that they put a McFarlane head on him, everyone is saying he is the greatest Lizard figure ever. I just don't get it.

The main problem I had with the BAF was the dinosaur head with the long tongue. I had it my display for a while, and only sold it because I assumed that a new version would eventually get released with a new head.

Spyne98 · 12-05-2025, 11:37 AM

Was anyone able to get lizard? The Amazon link says currently unavailable. I'm assuming maybe it just didn't go up yet.

Was able to get one from Amazon! Tried to get another one, but could not! Love this Lizard mold, I have the old BAF Lizard, and I have the recent ML Retro Lizard…I feel the BAF mold is better than the retro carded mold! And, size comparisons, there is none, the BAF wins easily and looks monstrous and more lizard like that the retro carded mold, imo!

Hulkwummy · 12-05-2025, 08:16 PM

They should use the Red She-Hulk's head sculpt for a new Tigra figure, more accurately the hair, I want Tigra's hair to cover both her ears.

Rertro Card Lizard is a classic Silver Age style. That version is a more modern take on him.

Yeah, agreed. I've always liked the BAF Lizard and it's preferrable by a wide margin, for me, to the retro buck. Even with the "dinosaur" head. That McFar-head is as bad as it was when he first drew it. I ordered one, but I'll never use that head.

Dr Kain · Yesterday, 07:29 PM

Mysterio arrived today.

For obviously having less details than the comic version, he's actually pretty awesome looking in person. It's also nice that he's not looser than a hooker's bra strap like the comic version is. The cape actually plugs into the hole and stays in for the most part. The Quentin head is equally impressive.

AFU · Today, 05:52 AM

Does anyone know of someone or business that makes, repaints, or would detail the head sculpts of action figure, for a fee of course!

Sometimes, I want new headscuplts for the figures, especially in toy lines that fall into the 6 inch category. I know some will say, do it yourself, but I don’t want to go that route, I’m bad at customizing…Lol
