That is a straight up stroke of luck. I gave up on finding the failmart bw here. It just aint happenin.

I thought about doing something similar, but the I'd want to finish painting the black widow on her back and I'm just not up to that right now

Stopped by Target on the way home from Moo thru (fresh ice cream place out in the middle of farm country in VA). They had entire wave of BW, Target BW Exclusive, Deluxe BW, AoA wave missing Jean Grey, Ms Marvel and Rage from Gamerverse, Thing from FF line. I have never seen that much ML at that Target.

Thanks! The exclusive Widow has been decimated from my area, too. This one on the clearance aisle definitely took me by surprise. In hand, the box has taken quite a beating and the back of the box has that odd, rough texture of wet cardboard that's been dried. I can only assume someone tried to hide the figure under an aisle or somewhere in the store, and then the box was damaged/discovered during cleaning ,mopping ,etc.

Just listened through the Marvel Livestream, again... Once again so excited/terrified of the upcoming X-men related SDCC releases.

Luckily in the past, the SDCC exclusives have been figures that I could just generally do with-out or just cherry pick online at a later date...Don't think I'm gonna have that option this year.

What do you guys think about the SDCC exclusives? I've heard quite a bit of speculation on the comic release, but very little on the cinematic exclusive.

Well Red Hulk arrived today...I must say this is one solid figure!! Love it!

Don't care what it is (Strike team?) I must have both!

Natasha arrived today, I think she's perfect, but something's a little off. Can't put my finger on it...

there seems to be a consensus the comic oriented release is likely The Hellfire Club in some iteration. Shaw was teased but not mentioned. Of course, Hasbro could easily put a Shaw out in non SDCC set with no problem, but I doubt they'd do the same for some of the more risque dressed members, mostly the women. Though I'm sure at some point they will find a way to adjust Emma's outfit and get her released more widely.

The movie set, I honestly have no idea. I do know that I am likely to either get absolutely nothing from the X-verse movie lines, or go whole hog and get almost everything. Due to lack of space and trying to cut back on cost, it's almost certainly going to be the latter for me. If I had to guess though I'd say a set from Fox's most widely praised main X-Men line movie, DOFP: Storm, Wolverine, Kitty, Iceman, Bishop, and Blink. Or less likely, possibly the Dark Phoenix line up: Storm, Jean, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and two of either Beast, Mystique and Quicksilver. Or a five pack from either of those sets.


:p That's fantastic!

and I was reading on Fwoosh that Dorkside got their AOA cases in and are shipping them out this week/maybe next week? No word on Black Widow waves singles..but I'm sure soon.

Isn't 2020 suppose to be a big year for the X-Men in terms of Marvel Legends Figures?

I think if White Rabbit can be released in a coat, bustier and spanky pants, and Psylocke and Warbird can have French cut play suits, it's not risque that's holding up characters like Emma and Tigra

You can take my Emma, but you’ll never take my spanky pants.

Well they did say more Team Sets were in the works like the Alpha Flight set. And they said they had a new troop builder that was not a repack. SOOOO That would lead me to believe it could very well be a Hellfire Club Soldier (Hand ninja is a close second), that would be a pretty basic body with a new head. AND if the shoe tease is for Shaw, That would lead me to conclude the next ( Amazon) box set might be Hellfire Club Set w/ White Queen Emma, Shaw, Black Queen Selene ( with Jean Grey alternate head) and possibly Mastermind and Pierce.

Personally I want a classic comic 2 pack of early appearance Mystique with her dark grey skin a new head sculpt to match and Destiny with alternate unmasked head .

I should have Sugarman complete by Friday.

I hope wave 2 gives us Holocaust

While some wouldn't be able to afford $200-500 on a well done Large Sentinel, many others would and it could potentially bring more eyes to the Legends line with collectors that normally don't buy them. I'm sure you could afford $200 by cutting back on other collectible purchases or selling some of what you own.

That sounds about right, except I"m thinking its the "SDCC" set instead of Amazon. either way, it would make perfect sense for the trooper builder to be the Hellfire Club Soldier. Also the line up for the pack sounds right, I'd be totally fine if the way we got Selene was just through an alternate head.

Poor Leland though, I think most of us that have listed a 5 pack have left him out. But for practical reasons, he would be the one requiring the most new parts if we take the victorian era outfits reuse for more standard sized figures into account.

Quick questions:
How well do Mezco One:12 figures scale with Marvel Legends?

I only ask because I want to do a DC vs Marvel display but I refuse to touch the McFarlane figures and the Mattel Multiverse figures are getting harder to obtain, with some getting close to hitting One:12/Figma prices.

Don't worry about it. Trying to use logic with Dr Kain is like beating your head against a brick wall. The wall won't change and you'll end up with a headache.

And here I'll just be happy if I can find her for the standard $20 price tag. But now you have me worried that my stores did get her instock and then put her right in their clearance isle on the other side of the store.

No, what I mean is I can't justify dropping $200 on a single toy anymore. I'd rather spend that $200 getting several figures. Hell, I just rebought 16 MCU films in 4K for $260 and then made $120 selling off the digital copies.

Pretty much the Same- That's Mezco Frank on the end... the WarMachine Frank is also using a Mezco head- I put Mezco heads on Legends all the time...

I'm with you there. It's not about "can't afford it," it's about "am I really down with spending that much on one thing?" I mean, even spending a cool hundy on Spiral was a matter of considering how soon she'd get remade, and how much more her price will rise on the aftermarket until she is remade. I'd much rather have used that for about five other figures if given the choice, but she's been a grail for long enough that I could justify it.

I was thinking either that or as the Comic-Con exclusive this year, especially since they recently sculpted a classic Emma head. Plus you're probably not gonna see the classic Hellfire Club women at retail, so that might be an alternative.

2099
 

Hey I have a question, why has the 2099 characters been ignored by our Marvel Legends team at Hasbro? I am so happy that Age of Apocalypse is coming out right now and I have been wishing for them to start making that line and now I move on to another project of systematic harassment for 2099 characters to hit our shelves one day.

I feel like Spiral has to be pretty high on Hasbro's list of updates to do. She's one of the 28 characters listed by Wikipedia as the X-Men's central rogues' gallery, of which 15 have already been done or are more or less confirmed for this year. At the rate they're ramping up X-Men releases the other 13 should pretty much all be out by 2022 or so, and Spiral has a pretty vocal fanbase (myself included).

I'd take Doom and Cap 2099.

But as to your question, Legends seems to not do too many alternate universes period. Even in the Ultimate line, they've only done a few characters (Cap, Iron Man, Miles Morales, that TERRIBLE Wolverine, ect.)
