So...looks like those Marvel vs. CAPCOM Legends rumors actually have some truth to it...

Shame it just so happens to be another Iron Man, especially when there will be some characters in the game we haven't seen just yet...at least in those incarnations...

Really hoping that Jedah from Darkstalkers is one of the characters on the CAPCOM side, being that he is rumored to be appearing in the game. A Strider Hiryu I would be sweet as well.

Of course it's an ironman

Lol, you just beat me

Given that most movie villains never return and are usually underdeveloped, there isn't a lot of upside to doing figures of the MCU villains. It sucks because I still want a Hugo Weaving Red Skull figure but after MCU Yellowjacket (who was barely in the movie and had a generic, forgettable costume) I can understand why they'd want to skip some villains. And with 2-3 movies a year and the majority of fans still wanting comic based figures, Hasbro needs to limit movie based figures.

Are those actually 6" figures? Because the cardboard packaging looks similar to the current 3.75" 2 packs which Hasbro is now calling Marvel Legends too. And the Iron Man looks like the Mark 3 armor from the first Iron Man movie and Hasbro has a pretty decent 3.75" Mark 3 figure from the Iron Man 2 line.

"Its good to be the king!"- (in best mel brooks voice.)

Judging from the body mold on that Iron Man, it looks as if these figures might actually be of the 3.75" variety. While it's not of great clarity, it looks as if there's no thigh swivel on the Iron Man, and is a repaint/kitbash of the recent ANAD Iron Man and the other Iron Man you mentioned from the smaller line.

I really wish Hasbro would stop calling the smaller line Legends. Does nothing but generate confusion, and in this case...false hype. I'm saddened now...

Just noticed that Iron Man has an elbow swivel which definitely makes it a 3.75" figure. Based on the color red and the arc reactor shape, I still say it's this version of the Mark III: http://www.mjstoy.com/images/653569454441/mjs.jpg
I looked on Fwoosh to see if there was any additional info but all I found was a lot of posts insist this 2 pack was 6" scale.

The source I got the picture from lists it as 6 inch, guess time will tell

I'd love to see Hasbro's take on Morrigan given how much their female sculpts have improved.

Also I wonder if the "Gamerverse" logo means we'll be seeing a line of game-based figs. Maybe something for the new Spider-Man game.

Definitely 6" Legends and not 3.75" Legends.

The "card" that states the information of what it is is about 3" tall. If the figure were to stand next to it, it would double that in height.

You might be right...I didn't take that card issue into account, and if memory serves me correctly, if it's 3.75 scale...you'd be the guy to talk to. =)

Another thing I just remembered, most of the MCU Iron Man figures use that older ball styled hip joint, which eliminates the thigh cut as the whole leg turns at the swivel. Might explain why it looks similar to the 3.75 stuff.

Though, someone else made a good point online that it looks like the box has been placed right next to a 1/4" scale statue of Ryu that is supposed to come out in the near future. (You can see the reflection of the foot and leg in the glass case behind the figure, with the 0the foot just barely peeking in the corner of the shot.)

If that is indeed the statue, the statue would stand around 18 inches tall, meaning that the box doesn't scale up to it properly, and it's definitely not 6 inch Legends.

Or...dare I say it...these figures could be of a different scale altogether, like the animated GoTG and Spider-Man animated figures. If so...ewww....

I know my 3.75" for sure...

I had heard some.stirring in the woods about a possible new 3.75" set that could be a 6" set as well. Thought I'd pop in here to see what you guys were saying. I then looked at the pic and used my Scooby Doo knowledge to deduce that by size referencing the figures....

Also, for a second reference- note the reflections. The Mega Man card art is roughly the size of the figure. The reflection on the right hand size is comparable to the reflection behind it of a man's left shoulder and biceps. No way would a 3.75" be close to a size match of the upper arm bone.

#science

If this is in the 6" scale, this might be the first time I willingly buy an Iron Man figure.

Because I will support the hell out of any and all MMX merch.

I don't even know why they bothered changing the name...doesn't seem to have a notable effect on the sales of the 3.75" line.

lol

who's mel books?

Saw another comment that suggested using the peg hole for scale. The peg hooks for toys are a standard size regardless of the action figure scale or the store selling them. The Iron Man in that picture could put his head through the peg hole of that Marvel vs Capcom packaging.

For size comparison, Exhibit A (please excuse the poor paint on the one Iron Man):

The 6" figure couldn't put his head through that peg hole but the 3.75" figure could.

Google is a good tool. Robin Hood Men in Tights, Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, The Producers, Young Frankenstein, History of the World Part 1, etc etc etc. A legend in Hollywood comedy.

ohh ok, spaceballs is a good movie

You left out High Anxiety and Silent Movie :p

And to be or not to be, twelve chairs, life stinks and dracula dead and lovin it! He also, along with carl reiner, created the classic tv show Get Smart.

The peg hook would have to be much larger for TWO 6" figures though. Also, that standard peg hook is for ONE figure in the centre. With this being non centred weight, the peg hole would need to compensate for the extra weight and "swing" when moved on a peg.

I don't see that reflection you are mentioning. The only one I see in the glass is the leg and ankle to the Ryu statue I mentioned. Where are you looking exactly?

I'm convinced these are smaller than 6 inches after looking closer at Mega Man. They may not be 3.75", but they are definitely not 6". MegaMan is carrying a lot of traits that aren't typical for 6" legends...such as a lack of ab crunch, and what looks to be swivel joints at the elbow and knees as opposed to the traditional double jointed ones found on 6" legends. While there are some Marvel Legends figures that have swivel joints, this is usually a trait of the female figures and larger characters/BAFs, and not the standard for the male bodies. In addition, that Iron Man also looks a lot like he has elbow swivels, which would make no sense, since nearly every modern Legends figure of him, be it MCU or comic styled, has double joints.

Of course, this could be more easily solved if Hasbro would simply stop calling Marvel UNIVERSE figures, Marvel Legends.

The peg hole would stay the same for a 2 pack because the peg hook is going to stay the same. It doesn't matter if the peg hook will be holding 7" Neca figures, 6" Marvel Legends, 3.75" Marvel Legends, 2" Minimates, or a 2 pack; the peg hook stays the same for all of them. Here are the facts:
1. The packaging for the MvC 2 pack lines up with the 3.75" Marvel Legends 2 packs, not the 6" 2 packs.
2. The articulation for the MvC figures lines up with the 3.75" Marvel Legends, not the 6" Legends.
3. The 6" 2 packs don't even go on a peg hook anymore. They sit on the shelf.
4. The only 6" Iron Man with an elbow swivel was the Mark I from the first movie. All other Iron Man figures have double jointed elbows and bicep swivels.
