I'm sorry, but how insulting is it to think it would be cool for kids to pop Hulk's leg off and put it on ghost rider while he has a Spiderman arm?! I mean, how stupid of a gimmick in the first place to think this would be a great toy? Coming from MU and all its awesomeness that flew off shelves; made nations swarm every store (that sold them) in thier county to find the new wave hot off the delivery truck; to peg warming "New" bunk molds they already knew would highly dissappont followers of the line.

As great as Legends are looking, and the appeal to collect some pretty great figures; the ideology and deception behind the new guy's "vision" to sparse our line into weak bucks; fuels the contempt to pass on Legends because I do not want to be brought in-line with their pigeonhole tactic, by depriving us while Legends receive healthy waves that come often and are plentiful in stores that sell them. Granted, I am still excited about some of the upcoming figures (Spiderman Noir); but the ones with the new buck just incites my saltiness; especially on really good characters that fans wanted (Bishop, Beast, Chameleon).

Yeah I don't know any kids that buy those crappy mashers (I have kids with a boat load of cousins). I saw 1 kid 1 time ask his parents for those things. I did see a wolverine with swappable heads. It's a shame they won't put that amount of resources into MU with all those accessories.
