Rumored Iron Man wave thoughts

90's modular Iron Man

There is that rumored US Agent Rektangular leaked forever ago that we still haven't seen...

Having looked it up, I’m seeing what you mean. I wouldn’t mind seeing this version, especially if they went with a less metallic blue than the last release. https://www.figurerealm.com/gallerie...Blizzard-2.jpg

As long as a potential Retro Iron Man wave has a Hypnotia finally making her plastic debut, I'll be happy.

Grabbed Retro Gambit and Rogue today. Rogue's glove-holding hand definitely needs some heat treatment.

I figure if he's still happening, it'll either be in a MCU Disney+ wave or an Avengers/Iron Man wave.

I'm not a fan of MCU figures, but I'm definitely here for a Hailee Steinfeld Kate Bishop figure

I hope we finally get an Echo as well (in addition to the inevitable MCU version they'll make). She's always been one of my favorite C-list street level heroes.

That would be cool, I wonder if they'll also do Elektra in her DD costume

Man... Target's Disney, Star Wars & Marvel mix and match buy 2 get 1 free deal really spoils you. I don't even feel like hunting today knowing I won't get anything free anymore. After I bought two Marvel figs... there weren't any other good Marvel or Star Wars figs on the pegs, so I just got a Baby Yoda plushie as my free item. It is something I would have never paid for, but since it was free... now I have a Baby Yoda plushie... which I also kinda regret, since the plushie kinda looks more like the grey alien from Communion instead of Baby Yoda because of the solid black eyes.

Click on the tab on the top left and click on that link. Only the figures from that link qualify for the sale.

Target now has a $10 off $50 and $25 off $100 sale on toys. Plus there’s a 10% off Target gift cards sale. Not the same as the B2G1 free sale but there’s at least more discounts happening.

Classic Ultron is perfect as is, I hope there is a waist swivel under the belt though with the mid torso articulation, he will still be able to be posed in good action shots. Perez Ultron is not a shiny metallic armor, so no reason it should be rendered as such. ML classic Ultron is a vast improvement over that outta scale MS version which I never bought due to it being wonky looking & outta scale.

Steel Serpent's costume was similar, but different enough in the collar and general construction that using any Danny fig. as a direct template could easily be interpreted as cheap/lazy on Hasbro's part. Not that they would care about that as it hasn't stopped them from retailing copious amounts of repaints and bare minimum 'retools' that feature little more than new heads and minor accoutrements like pouched belts and oddly placed straps. Additionally, Serpent has a very different body type than Fist. While not as big as the Thunderer, Steel Serpent is much more stocky in build than Iron Fist.

I hope you are right, but I'm not sure how you can definitively state what you have without having the fig in hand. While the removal of the ab crunch worked out (for the most part - I've still druthers...) with Doom and Kang, some of us have higher expectations of figure pose-range and articulation. Something might be good enough for you, but you aren't the arbiter for the wants of others.

Edit: Also, I disagree with your point about the luster of the fig's paint versus classic illustrations of Ultron. Ironically, the Perez photo you've used has three visible highlights of gleam (left shoulder, right forearm, and right knee) along with numerous other shading details commonly used by artists to denote a highly refractive metallic surface.

As mentioned earlier, you are entitled to your opinion, but there are always going to be differences out there, even from individuals that also view the Perez 'look' as preferred and iconic, if not definitive or signature.

...you can always quote something I say if you want to have a dialogue, dude. Talking around someone or something can come off as passive aggression. Message threads exist for the purpose of the exchange of ideas on various subjects and I obviously have no qualms about communicating directly to anyone...

Edit: In rereading, again, I realized you also referenced my size concerns as well...My comments didn't revolve around 'scale', they were direct references to 'size' with inch (") references. I also believe the Select version to be too large and didn't buy it for the same reasons. However, Hasbro's other comic canon Legends Ultrons do not have the stature I'd want for the figure. If the upcoming Ultron stands at 6", I will be disappointed because that would make my favorite automaton diminutive in comparison to other characters. To help drive what I'm getting at, the mid-large male mold that Namor is on is roughly 6.5". This should help provide perspective for my statement that I hope Ultron is closer to 7" than 6". Again, I'm here if you want to discuss.

Did it?

It didn't matter much to me because outside of the one purchase I made last Sunday, my Targets haven't stocked anything new in months. If they had the Stilt Man wave it would have been handy or some Star Wars figures I wouldn't have minded actually buying (isn't there supposed to be figures in a new packaging style?), but my toy isles have looked like wastelands since May and have hardly been stocked since.

I figured out what you were referring to. Thanks.

Target delayed my Rogue pre-order again. Originally she was supposed to get here last week, then this week, and now she’s not supposed to be arriving until next Tuesday (the 15th). She had been “preparing to ship” for two weeks. And now she’s in Ontario, which is a nice change of pace, as weird as it is that she’s in another country. Maybe she’s fighting Wendigo.

I'm all with you on the scale issue. When I say I want him in 6' scale, I mean the Hasbro 6' scale which is more like 6.5 inches in hgt , so I hope he is as tall as the 80th anniv Ironman fig.

As far as the Perez Ultron, that for me is his most iconic & favorite version ever & am estatic that Hasbro finally did him based on Perez version & not some other artist crap rendition such as the famous TB Dog Face Ultron or any toon based crap version such as the one from the Avengers united crapfest toon.

Ok, then it's pretty much established that we see eye to eye on a couple of things. Honestly, I'd be comfortable with Ultron being slightly larger than 80th Iron Man. And, yeah, the TB Legendary Rider Ultron was, let's say, "interesting." The memory banks are fuzzy, but I believe it was based on Alkhema, Ultron's second attempt at a mechanized bride. Toy Biz dropped the ball on the end-production pretty badly because I seem to remember a more impressive looking proto...

And yeah, we both share a fandom for Ultron, no doubt...

But, in any event, the Alkhema (?) misfires make for decent enough Ultron-drones...

Select is absolute perfection as far as I'm concerned- but that won't stop me from getting a few Legends as drones (so hopefully they are a bit smaller than "Prime")

Amd while I can't wait to add the new MODOK to my bad-guys shelf, it won't be taking the Toybiz place in the AIM dio.

I'm also really glad I bailed on MEZCO's white Magneto- the ML version looks soooo good. I think those are the only "replacement" options shown that already have existing figures from other lines- Can't wait for Tri-Sentinel (Theta?) and Omega to join the massive Sentinel army growing on the desk behind me-

I had to Wikipedia Century and Hypnotia. I'm guessing they are mostly from the Iron Man cartoon.
Century looks to me like a generic 90's bad guy, but I was shocked at Hypnotia, as she looks like taking a big design clue from Marionette from the Micronauts.
Now, who's leaked that Iron Man list? I must have missed it somehow.

Re: Ultron.
I own the Marvel Select one, and he is lovely, but the ball joints are not great, thou ok for a robot, and the size is too large for ML.
Similar to the MS Colossus, you can fudge it, but it's not quite right, kind of thing.
As to which one is the "classic Ultron" that differs, from fan to fan. Of course down to the nature of when and where you saw him first.
I can see, ML is moving a bit more towards 80's/ 90's with some 70's thrown in. I can see by the ages of the Hasbro team and the fanbase that there's a trend to go 90's forward.
I wonder why that is. Is it because the older fans don't care about collecting, or rather the explosion of Marvel Spider-man and X-men plus cartoons, have left a stronger Mark?
I guess the later.
Nonetheless, I am thrill at the depth of characters within the MU being produced. It's wonderful.
DC had a good run with Mattel, but it seems, the current focus is about only two characters (Bats and Harley). I always remember a quote from the (sometimes naughty) Stan Lee, saying something like Marvel characters and popular, DC are not, Nuff said.
Again, when someone like me has to google a Marvel Character like Hypnotia (and yes, I own Phantazia figurine from McDonals) , and I get a bit excited about this or that character, and want to learn more, I'd say the Hasbro people are doing a-okey.
Heck, I got my Jocasta, and now Ultron right? Life's good.

@TheBlueMarvel


I think the TB Ultron also had some elements from his Ultimate Alliance appearance thrown in as well, but those elements could've just been taken from the comics anyway :p

Yeah, that makes sense too as they share some features. Like I said, my memory is unreliable, at best! ;)


Edit:

I found it! The internet has some use still after all...

Apparently it was an illustration of what they had planned and it was impressive, if not entirely familiar as Ultron: Marvel Legends Ultron addendum | OAFE – Blog

Nothing to do with Alkhema at all, apparently my memory made up that part. :p Insomuch as the final product is concerned, I think they would have been better off with the proto head...

If there is a Iron Man Vintage wave I hope there's a rerelease of Dreadknight. I always wanted the one from the SDCC Raft Boxset but I never got around to buying it. And though I'm sure the sentiment of mostly everyone is we need a straightup comic Mandarin, I would want a green one like in the 90s show. I can't help picturing him like that in my mind's eye.

Went to a Walmart store earlier today and didnt find much for Marvel legends. all the Walmart store had were these

new Falcon of the Hulk Mr Fix It build a figure wave
Tom Cassidy and Sunspot of the Strong Man build a figure wave
the the rest were of Mr Fantastic and at least 2 or 3 of the Abomination wave

Nothing special to get excited over. Tomorrow or even Tuesday im doing some some more shopping and to look around in a different Walmart to see if Im lucky finding anything good

As long as a comic Whiplash in his classic costume is in there somewhere then i'm all for an IM wave.

“Take this vile heroine! LIME JELLO BLAST ACTIVATE!”

While I originally had no interest or intention of picking up the Cyborg Spider-Man figure, I ended up grabbing him during the buy two sale at Target last week...he was free...so why not?

A couple of thoughts...

1. It's kinda amazing that as many times as we've seen this body used with other Spider-Man figures, we have never seen a Spider-Man in a costume as close to the classic version of his costume on this body as we did with this figure. Just thought that a bit strange.
2. The figure itself is not all that bad, despite my not having any sort of attachment to it. It's well painted and fun to mess around with, although the butterfly joints will chew the paint on the arms if you are not careful.
3. Really hated that almost translucent grey plastic they used for the bionic arm...ended up giving mine a bit of a heavy wash, and really liked how it turned out. That over-sized robot hand though...someone dropped the ball there. Makes the figure feel kitbashed and not in a good way...
4. The 90's were a strange and XXXTREME!!111 time indeed...

I would love an Echo and would plan on getting both comic and MCU versions of her. Hopefully she is coming sooner than later. I also enjoy Elektra's new Daredevil look. It keeps to her personal design elements while adding the iconic Daredevil mask/helmet. Id be interested in one as a Legends figure.

Im enjoying everyone's wants for a retro FF wave and the rumored Iron Man wave. Hypnotia would be a fun choice in an Iron Man wave. Obscure with a connection to the 90s cartoon, shes got an eye catching look. I hope Hasbro uses this Iron Man wave to really go for making a lot of villians instead of over doing it on Iron Man armors. Though if they need more armor suggestions Id like to see an Ultimate Black Widow armor. I know its been awhile since they've done anyone from the Ultimate universe but if they have to hit an armor quota per Iron Man wave why not? Is it known yet if the Iron Man wave is retro or a regular wave?
