Hasbro's Marvel figures

Seems like we're completely cut off from new ML up here - we haven't seen anything past the exclusive TRU wave.

Sadly, I'm thinking about clearing mine out and starting fresh on the smaller figures they're putting out now. I just like the scale better.

If anyone needs any older ML they missed (in great shape, complete with all accessories) start letting me know now.

I hope your not referring to those ML Showdown figures that come with the "game pieces". Those are horrible! The limbs pop off at the slightest touch. I purchased the tiny Silver Surfer to go with my ML Galactus BAF and I shit you not, his torso popped in two IN THE FUCKING PACKAGE. Luckily, the joint snapped back together and I only have him displayed in the background. But jesus tits, those things suck. Be warned.

I will heed your advice and stay away from them as well. The last thing I need to do is start buying another line of toys. I just got turned on by the Magneto & Colossus 2 pack.

There is some stuff in that line that makes me want to pick them up, and if they had done them as regular Marvel Legends they would be awesome, like the Mr. Fantastic/Mole Man two pack, the green trunked Namor with a fucking hammerhead shark, etc. But seeing how flimsy the figures are, there's no way to get any enjoyment out of them.

That's truly too bad. The Mole Man figure looked awesome, I have to agree.

Hasblo Marvel Legends Update.

These things suck. Oh yeah. Emma Frost is wearing a diaper. And has the most god awful head ever sculpted. I hearby request Hasbro call a mulligan for this one. I only found Beast, Banshee and Emma. The movie Beast is an okay figure....except that its Movie Beast. Aren't there like 500 Marvel characters they could've made before this turd. And my friend got a Hulk with a missing paint app on his left arm (its green instead of the silver shown on the package.) And they already redecoing the Annihilus so the BAF will look mottled and gay with different colors. It's like I'm having a flashback to my Star Wars days.

here's another ultra depressing thought.

Marvel. GIJoe. Star Wars. Transformers.

Hasbro has a monopoly on my toy collecting. If not for DCDirect and Mattel's Superman/Batman figures I would cry. Okay, i don't get Star Wars anymore and I dont really buy GIJoe unless they start making some wicked GIJoe Legends instead of that crap Sigma Six, but the principal still stands.

I wouldn't get this feeling with Toybiz that the whole line was crap. They would stumble every once in awhile, but for the most part I was happy with their product. And that was because they earned it by making good stuff most of the time. Right out of the gate, Hasbro has made me wary of the fact that they suck. I fucking hate you Hasbro. You pieces of shit!

I've seen them all. Surprisingly, I passed. $2 more for a drop in quality is not acceptable.

Banshee's skin is actually a brighter yellow than his costume, for God's sake!

Surprise - they haven't shown up here yet. From the pictures, I won't be buying any of them either. Another line down the drain.

I like the reviews that try to rationalize Emma Frost as not sucking that badly. I'm sorry, but for as long as everybody has been clamoring for her and for that level of shittiness, Hasbro could not have done that accidentally. They even knew far enough in advance, they could have sculpted a new head. How fucking hard is that, you assholes??!

I'm not sure if its chain-wide or just a local glut, but Marvel Legends are $3.00 at WalMart. I picked up Mister Sinister tonight. I believe they also had Thing, Sentry, Ultron, AF #15 Spidey, Taskmaster and the one that looks like Ghost Rider. If anybody is in need let me know.

Also, does anyone need the Sentinel's right leg before I throw it away?

Post by **vynsane** » Fri Jan 12, 2007 9:20 am

don't throw it away... if no one here needs it, throw it on ebay! after all, anything you get for it is totally found money!

like here!

two days left and it's already up to $4.54! you could pay for all the ML's you bought at $3 a piece with a sentinel leg!

Antropov · Post by **Antropov** » Fri Jan 12, 2007 9:23 am

Sweet carp. That never even crossed my mind. $5 for the leg? That makes it ~$30 total, which ain't too bad.

How True!

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 4:15 pm

WAVE 3 has

1st Appearance Captain America
Bucky (I'm assuming to go with Cap)
Blacknight
X3 Collusus
Astonishing Cyclops
Marvel Girl ( Rachel Summers version)
HYDRA Agent
Danger ( the stupid Danger Room come to life villain)

No signs of a BAF yet. I recommend Surtur or Ymir.

And the word "Legends" applies why?

Seriously. They should just fucking make a Sleepwalker/Eight-Ball two-pack.
