Jeez, this Guardians wave is so underwhelming. Everyone in the same uniform makes them look boring. The lack of alternate heads with some kind of expression - angry, smiling, etc. - makes the Guardians themselves look bored. It's like how Roger Sweet described figures before "Masters of the Universe" came out - they all have blank expressions and look standing at attention. Adam Warlock also looks unfinished, with his minimal paint application and unpainted eyes. I'm also worried about future Marvel Legends figures going forward if we're only getting one accessory or two, plus or including the Build-A-Figure, for each figure going forward to keep the $25 price. After reading the leaked list of 2023 figures, I was thrilled to see what Marvel Legends was going to do this year. After seeing the Guardians figures, my excitement has diminished considerably.

Also, Hasbro, please make more non-movie Spider-Man figures of classic characters A.S.A.P. please! I'd love to see non-exclusive, easy-to-find, sold-separately Retro Spider-Man figures for characters like the Chameleon, the Vulture, Doctor Octopus with bendable wire tentacles (in his green-and-orange suit on a better body mold or his white Armani suit, take your pick), Sandman (in his classic look on a bigger, better body mold or in his Frightful Four era green armored suit, please), the Beetle, purple-and-blue suit Boomerang, Hydro-Man, Jack O'Lantern, and suit-and-tie Tombstone get made, please. It'd also be nice to get sold-separately figures of classic Eddie Brock Venom and classic Carnage, please. Then again, it'd be great to see resculpted, improved figures of classic Green Goblin with the bat-wing Goblin Glider and a better head sculpt with better eyes and a classic Hobgoblin with alternate heads, for the feet to actually stay on the Glider, and for the figure's face, costume and glider to actually look like his comic book counterpart. That Retro Hobgoblin figure was just awful.
