VashTS. Would your name be Daniel by any chance? You remind me of a guy I once knew...

Anyway. I can say I am fairly close to owning every Marvel Legend in existence I also collect DCUC, Play Arts, Hot Toys,Neca, Japanese imports such as Figma, Revoltech, & Figurarts. I am have OCD and an amazing eye for detail. I won't bore you all with me "intelligence" or my IQ score but I just wanted to give everyone a framework for my statement.

Marvel Legends is my benchmark collection in which ALL other toylines are judged. They are an amazing combination of sculpt, paint, AND price point. Hasbro when they first got the line stumbled pretty bad but now I can happily say most taste test challenges Hasbro v Toybiz well hasbro wins.


-Black Widow v Black Widow -Hasbro has not one but TWO Black widows that surpass the toybiz one

-Jean Grey v Jean Grey -tie!

-Elektra v Elektra -Hasbro wins

I am sure I am forgetting some but that was all from the top of my head. As you can see Hasbro wins or ties WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more then they lose

Girl you're crazy, the Hasbro Black Widow looks like a grandma, the Toy biz had a much prettier face, the Scarlet takes the cake though.

and the Hasbro Jean mops the floor with the Phoenix, the only good thing was the head sculpt on the old one,

as for Elektra The Toy Biz one is much much better

If Hasbro releases another Emma it has to be the Hellfire Club version.

Another modern/astonishing version would be redundant.

I was gonna turn it in to management but TRU employees or any retailer dont understand unless you explain to them that 1) without the BAF piece the figure losses most of its value to the customer 2) Customers should not be allowed to purchase two of the same figure when it comes to Marvel Legends so we dont run into a situation of 50 Wolverines and Cyclops. I imagine scalpers also purchase the whole set and hold on to it until a new shipment is requested then return all the figures they bought.

On a side note I have a Havok or Rocket in box with BAF to trade for Scarlet Widow ( I never saw her in retail ).

Emma would be a shoe-in of course, but which other characters need a re-release? Deadpool? 2-pack Winter Soldier? X-Force Warpath? I stÍll don't have the latter two, and cannot see affording them in the near future lol.

I do understand the wants, but I'm not sure Hasbro would even do such a thing. If they made a henchman 3-pack, it would definitely sell out IMO.

This is why I hate the BaF gimmick. There's always a rare figure with a piece you need, or just multiple figures you don't want at all, but you want the BaF so you have to get them. Then aftermarket prices are never kind, $50 for a Groot is ludicrous, that's implying that just over $8 of every legend is for the BaF piece alone.

The reason I don't think fans would be very positive about the Marvel-Now Emma is that many long-term fans are familiar with the classic look, and the Marvel-Now costume is guaranteed to go away eventually and return to something more formulaic. The new costumes should be the variants because less collectors actually read the material and will be unfamiliar with the look, the more identifiable costumes should be main/mass release since that's what they know. It would be like if the Wolverine that was just released was his newest costume instead of the familiar yellow and blue tiger-stripes, it would deter the typical collector who is usually only a casual reader.

like you I have been looking for a DP but outside the KO's I haven't found a legit one at reasonable cost. Realistically DP doesn't need another release unless there is a major change with him...if they had released the Red version of Marvel Legends Epic Heroes in the US we would be all good..but they did the grey version instead so we got screwed...

Interesting side note from the same show though, Hasbro is trying to get 2 waves of Legends figures greenlit for X-Men Age of Apocalypse, and if it happens, Phoenix 5 Cyclops would possibly be released (which would also seem to be an ideal time for Rogue, White Phoenix, Moonstar, and other X associated characters with cancelled figures to get released as well).

how much does it cost to get into sdcc? I'm tired of paying ebay prices for sdcc exclusives.

With Magik presumably coming, and Moonstar already made and shelved yet who knows might make a reappearance, Madrox, Polaris and to a lesser degree Sunspot Blink, Syrin Marrow and Dazzler would be my wants for X-Men heroes legends. Villains are another story but the list is getting less and less. Two waves of X-men: Apocalypse figures would be awesome.

If we got that we'd have Cannonball, Moonstar Sunspot and Magik of New Mutants. The rest of the New Mutants I could care less about. It's just irritating we have only Cannonball out of that whole thing (not counting characters who were part of the X-Force run). Though if they released a Wolfsbane I would probably buy it if I could find it cheap.
