Then they act like they get all sorts of people BEGGING for them during the announcement. When in fact they likely got one email 4 years ago saying "ever gonna do a morph?" and thats it.

GIVE us the core heroes/villains first then start tossing out whatever character you think we want that maybe appeared in 2 episodes.

This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen in this forum and given some of the regulars here that's saying something.

Morph was killed in the series premiere but was brought back to life by Sinister in Season Two. He was a recurring character after that.

Everyone who watched the X-Men cartoon (probably the majority of Marvel Legends collectors) knows who Morph is.

Once this VHS line was announced there's no way Hasbro didn't receive requests for Morph.

The list of "core" Marvel Legends that need a figure (or an update) is getting shorter and shorter. This inclusion really isn't a stretch.

And by the way, criticizing Hasbro for making this figure while demanding Firelord be made stinks of hypocrisy.

They could release him and the other non-Captain America "Six American Warriors" (Black Marvel, Destroyer, Thunderer, Miss America) in the Spider-Man TAS retro line!

I’d be curious to know which “core heroes and villains” this guy thinks haven’t been done in the last few years. …Mandarin?

I for one love Morph. The plotline of his death starting off the series always resonated with me and helped get me instantly hooked. That aside, the other positive i see here is that if they're making Morph, it implies they are making more. I'm personally expecting this line to continue until i have a marvel legends version of that shot in the end of the opening sequence where all the heroes and all the (major) villains are running toward each other. If we get figures like (animated series cell shaded) Apocalypse, Sabretooth, Magneto, Archangel, etc. - this line could be really awesome once all together.

Morph could have been an “extra” head to swap on the Forge body, though that one had cuffed boots. So it’s cool he got his own release

Not me, my pre-adolescent brain loved Morph and his whole story of being brainwashed to turn against his friends. :)

Perhaps, but they helped keep the character fresh in the minds of young viewers (I mean, heck, Deadpool only appeared once in the series, and then only as a doppelganger created by Evil!Morph while browbeating Wolverine). :p

Morph is the shape-shifter, so the extra heads should rightfully be included with his body.

I dunno... I mean, I don't agree with OP, but I've definitely seen much dumber comments here. I mean, just the other day some complete moron complained about the Mojo box set while calling out others for complaining about the Mojo box set. Pretty dumb.

hasbroherofan 05-23-2022 09:56 AM

Of all the very legit criticisms you can make of ML, “They should be giving us the core heroes and villains first” is probably the most baffling I’ve seen in quite a while. Even in this specific animated sub-line, Morph was preceded by A-listers like Wolverine, Storm and Jean Grey.

AAA 05-23-2022 10:18 AM

Cool... can we get a Morph without the cell shading to match the rest of my X-men?

Should be an easy repaint...

Dormamu 05-23-2022 10:42 AM

If anyone watched the Pulse-a-thon a few months back, they you'd know that the Hasbro marketing team treated this as a special favor to the cartoon producers, because Morph was an important driver for a lot of the characterizations in the 90s toon.

What would be unsaid icing on the cake would be if the ball joint for his head fits a bunch of other already released Marvel Legend figures. After all, what is a shapeshifter who can't shape shift?

Wow. Can we get those legs on a new Cyclops, please? :eeek

Venzhe 05-23-2022 11:53 AM

I’m sure those legs will be on an animated Cyclops soon.

You mean there was a guy here calling out some crybaby for being mad at Hasbro for giving him what he wanted? And this is less intelligent than the blatant lies of the OP? Sure bud.

By the way, saying Hasbro "wasted resources" on Mojo, Dazzler, and Longshot and calling them "80's trash" wasn't a complaint. It's a testament to the line that Hasbro is willing to flesh out all corners in the Marvel Universe, and maybe you guys should be a little more grateful as opposed to finding reasons to b****. Do you see ANY other toy line going this deep into the bench? Maybe Super7 and NECA with TMNT?

Guess that went over your head. What a shock. Maybe you should watch who you call a moron.

Harbinger 05-23-2022 12:56 PM

Morph looks utterly perfect. Its just sad he doesnt have swappable arms, but thats my only gripe.

Girls, you're both pretty.


Anyway back to Morph, he's got generic ML face syndrome, but still an instant buy for me.

EvilMonkeyPope 05-23-2022 05:25 PM

Why does his evil face look right but not his regular one?

Personally, I feel like the "normal" head should be grinning, but that's not a deal breaker.

MeLikeJinx 05-23-2022 07:27 PM

When you can barely see the cel shading what is even the point of the cel shading... even though it is better when you can barely see it. Great evil headsculpt though I must say.

Venzhe 05-23-2022 08:31 PM

I agree about the normal face having the generic ML curse. Both the expression is wrong for Morph and the deep lines the animation did for his cheekbones didn’t translate to the sculpts at all. The issue is less noticeable in the evil sculpt because it has a proper expression and the additional paint. Will buy and just use the evil head.

Yeah, I always went back and forth on whether he'd be going on the hero or villian side of my shelves; I think the evil head kinda makes my mind up for me there.

manic mailman 05-24-2022 01:41 PM

that regular morph head sucks
the villain one is good.
the single jointed arms suck
the new legs are good

and ya morph is a highly fan demanded character for years.
plus wolverine talks about him like every epsiode.
which is hilarious because he was rude to him for the brief time he knew him.
