What's Your Favorite Marvel Legends figure?

mrmr · 04-26-2011, 07:58 AM

There are so many. Deadpool, yes, is really awesome, if only mine had tighter hand grip joints. I love the first Iron Man to death and every resulting remold (War Machine, Silver Centurion, Magneto). The second Ghost Rider is definetly at the top, along with Silver Surfer and Colossus.

Collecting them from the beginning, it's hard to pick. But Hasbro never really gave me much to work with with shitty distribution and boring characters. But from the few of theirs I have Xorn comes out on top. I hope they step up their game in terms of distribution and characters. I would kill for a ML Legion.

I love Hulkbuster Ironman took me forever to find him too. Should've picked up Silver Centurion Iron Man, Modern Iron Man and both Ghost Riders when I had the chance.

Hmmm that is a great iron man figure, having a far better sculpt than the first ml iron man. They could retool this as silver centurion like they did with the first one.

The sculpt from the BAF wave Deadpool is better proportioned but aside from that, this is my favorite Deadpool too.

Oh yeah it'd be real easy too.. Some people on figurerealm.com made some customs to doing that. All they would really need to do is modify the gloves, boots and head sculpts just a little bit, change the circle to a triangle, add a backpack. and paint him red and silver.

Dude id buy that

WindsofHorus · 04-26-2011, 12:20 PM

Here's one of the customs I was talking about. Hasbro could be making bank off this easily. Only thing missing is that the boots coming to a point.

behindthemask · 04-26-2011, 05:16 PM

I'm not saying because the stealth version is $160 online it's the best, I'm saying that out of the 3 versions he's my favoite, rare as fuck, and is in the same price point as Deadpool for many is considered the holy grail of Marvel Legends as far as collectability, rarity, and staying power, some Ml figures cost the same to buy online as the day they came out, and some are 5-10x the original $15-20 sticker price, to me a figure is awesome due to paint, sculpt, and articulation, and accessories, but rarity and value do add to the overall appeal, If I got a deadpool figure that's awesome, but I know it's 1 in a million to find and worth $1000 I like it even more, if everyone got 1 in the mail for free from hasbro for being a live.. I will like it but not as much due to so many ppl having it. if that makes sence?

scarecrow · 04-26-2011, 05:31 PM

I really loved the Union Jack figure, the paint apps were ridiculously crisp, and the head sculpt was simple but really well done, if not a little bit undersized.

Xcaliber037 · 04-26-2011, 06:36 PM

I couldn't just choose just one. Some are obviously not Marvel legends but they're related I guess. If I had to choose one.... It's a toss up between series 6 Deadpool or McFarlane Spider-Man. (I know this spidy is not ML... I don't care)

Stick this version next to the Silver Centurian and you get the best team up ever from IM #215:

WindsofHorus · 04-26-2011, 08:28 PM

That's one of my favorite covers of all time right there!

I get what your saying completely. I do agree completely that rarity make them more appealing. Perhaps I just misunderstood what you were saying, but I was under the impression that you were saying that because Deadpool, Toad and Stealth Iron Man are rare that makes them great.

I have to say (as someone who loves Iron Man and has all the Iron Man ML (excluding the Modular armor variant and the Gold and Stealth series one variants) that the Hasbro Classic armor mold is better. I get why people love the first one, and I'm not trying to take away from it, they're great figures. But Hasbro's just looks so much smoother. I think what makes it for me is the better looking head sculpt.

Jason Abbadon · 04-26-2011, 09:53 PM

On an Iron man it's all about the eyes...that's why both the ML and MU (Iron Man 2 technicly) Silver Centurian figures are awesome.
They capture that pissed off look that Mark Bright drew in the helmet.

It's also one reason why the first MU Iron Man figs sucked so damn hard- the body was waaay too slim and the helmet was...it was wrong.

Jason Abbadon · 04-27-2011, 04:10 AM

Broke mine out last night to read it again- still a great story with A.I.M. as the bad guys- you could re-crreate the whole thing with action figures!
The very next cover was traumatic for me....but thankfully Rhodey survived to become an even greater character!

WindsofHorus · 04-27-2011, 08:05 AM

I have both of those Issues (as well as the Ghost issues, Armor Wars, Demon In A Bottle and the First Camelot story) signed by Bob Layton and David Michelinie.. In terms of my comics, they're my favorite things I have.

That is probably my all time favorite Spidey figure. And they don't have to be from ML just ML style. (IE Spidey lines, X-Men lines, the six inch movie figues, etc.)

Xcaliber037 · 04-29-2011, 11:50 AM

Yea Mcafarlane spidy rocks! By the way you can make some seriously cool webbing from the silverish twisty ties from transformers or other action figures.

Most indeededly. I used to have mine hanging from the ceiling until I had to take him down.

snake5289 · 04-30-2011, 12:34 PM

This is the best pic I can get but here's the repainted DD I did.

snake5289 · 05-04-2011, 05:33 PM

Bump

It's a Barrett M82A1 50 caliber from a Mcfarlane military sniper figure. I custom made the muzzle break. I didn't have one an that's one of Barrett's signature looks. In fact without it it might tear your shoulder off.

gpmartin414 · 05-05-2011, 11:47 AM

Probably Modern Iron Man, followed closely by Hasbro Deadpool.
