Hell, I didn’t as a kid either, but now that I have developed finer tastes as an adult, I’m all over this and have wanted it since RoML. Yellowjacket, which I also want, can be the wider release, but this set’s version is the deep-cut that I most wanted as a collector. Additionally, now that we’ve the proper Mockingbird, I’ll order the upcoming Hawkeye. They should’ve teased this reveal sooner. And they fixed Iron Man’s coloring - a tweak that I wanted and expected, but now I get what I want, while others who don’t care about my persnickety needs won't have to buy it for a BAF part. There’re things to complain about, but on balance, I find this to be a great set and it was delivered exactly as it should be – in a set….now for the price.

A few months ago (I think following the Starlord reveal) I made a glib comment about the Legends team serving up contrition-releases following a disastrous Haslab and heaping amounts of fan animus generated by price increases, windowless boxes (which still don’t bother me because I buy everything online/sight unseen), and tepid production efforts. I’m convinced of it now and I'm very happy for it! It appears that Hasbro is finally glomming onto which era of comic fans is actually buying the lion’s share of their products and I’m here for it! Keep going Legends team, I look forward to more bronze age fan service. The 90’s anything is an easy choice. The X-men are also a no-brainer. But this dial-up demonstrates sophistication IMO and a deeper understanding/pinpointing of who’s buying this shit.

Ha! The speed-suit was my first thought seeing it too.
