I used to collect marvel legends back in the toybiz days, though have long since sold them off, but the pics of cable, apocalypse and the brown wolvie reissue at SDCC (I think?) got me really hyped for them again. I picked up a bucky captain america from ebay, still packaged, to dip my toe in the water, but I have to say, it totally put me off getting any more. It was mainly the type of plastic used I think - apart from various limbs coming warped out of the package, the whole figure just feels 'bendy' almost, with the knees the worst suffering joints.

Is this just how they are made? I remember it a little from the mls I had, maybe, but in my head they were a whole lot more sturdy and used much stiffer plastic. I'd really like to pick up a decent figure of wolverine and some other key characters, but was just totally put off the in-hand experience - was that just a particular figure or wave, or is that just how mls are now?

In the interests of not being totally negative, though they were let down by the plastic/build quality, I was really impressed with the sculpt and accessories in general.

Though Hasbro Marvel Legends do occasionally suffer from somewhat gummy joints, in my general experience, they've felt quite sturdy, and not as fragile as ToyBiz MLs. I think if you're looking to get back into MLs, pick up some of the ones that interest you and see how you like them.
