Rachel Summers is a hottie - but I'm sure they'll ruin her as badly as they did Emma Frost.

Astonishing Cyke is a good idea for a figure, but again it will blow so I won't get it.

To be honest, I'm not sure why I'm reading this thread having decided some time ago stop collecting Marvel Legends. Please excuse my negativity.

I keep making regular stops at TRU and Target a couple times a week and I realize that there is nothing for me to even look for. I've got the new wave of HML. TF Alternators are all but dried up. I've given up on GIJoe Sigma Six. I don't get Star Wars at all anymore. And I'm not excited about anything on the horizon. It's a shitty time to be a toy collector.

I haven't been going very much at all since the move. There are no SW figures coming up here until March or April (I had to preorder the last 2 waves from an online store), I'm not getting ML, my son has enough Pyrates to last a lifetime and Miranda's sick of Little Pet Shop. The only thing we've been getting with any regularity at all is Playmobile.

I actually finally saw the "new" Hasbro Marvel Legends yesterday at Toys R Us.... and they're even worse than the pics. Banshee is so fucking yellow - yes, I realize that's been said here before.... but what the fuck? Planet Hulk's face was fine, but the gapping in his chest joint was SO wide... I just couldn't buy him. I hated Kelsey Grammar as Beast, so that one was out... Emma Frost looked nothing like the pictures I'd seen of her (which was fine), but she sure didn't look like Emma Frost (which wasn't fine).

The only figure I didn't get a look at was Iron Man, so I'll have to reserve judgement on him.

On the other hand, I saw the last 2 Toy Biz waves at my comic store and am definitely getting Beta Ray Bill and Captain Marvel. Luke Cage might make the cut as well, as might Jessica Drew. I won't be getting Longshot or Wasp though.

I saw these today and they look like complete shit. I also saw the Ghost Rider figures, the looked like shit too.

Man, these shitbags are really flying off the shelves!

Good God, I haven't seen this many ML on the pegs in probably 2 years or more.

Post Holidays, TRU all of the sudden has endcaps clogged with the last 4 waves of ToyBiz figures.

The Ghost Rider figures do suck ass. I'm thinking the Spider-Man 3 figures are going to blow as well.

Well in some GOOD ML news, my comic store finally got in the last 2 ToyBiz waves AND they decided to put them on sale for reasonable prices, due to the line ending. I finished my collection today by buying the following 6 figures (needed to buy 6 to get the deal):

Spider-Woman
Captain Marvel
Baron Zemo (with mask - they had both but I love the mask)
Moon Knight
Beta Ray Bill
Luke Cage

I must say, they make a very nice collection. I was thinking of selling the whole shooting match, but I'm going to hang on to them for a while yet.

Black Bolt: Overdue, but who cares with Hasbro in charge?

X-3 Angel: Wooo boy.

Goblin Queen: About as unnecessary a resculpt as you can imagine.

Firestar: Yup, she was my first choice.

Storm: Depends on which Storm. But, again, Hasbro's got the wheel, so who cares?

Ord: Who?

Strong Guy: God DAMN it, why couldn't ToyBiz have made him instead?

Hey, I've been waiting to set up my Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends Diorama...and god willing, soon I will be able to do that. So thank you Hasbro!!!

Scratch that.

You guys are all fucking cocklickers. I'm going to sick Snigtad on you.

I have a perfectly good storm, I will NOT buy X3 Angel, ORD (from Astonishing X-Men - an alien villain that comes back to wipe out the team so that Colossus doesn't wipe out his entire race - if I'm not mistaken) might be interesting, but FAR from a Legend in my mind.... and Firestar, well that just ain't happening. I'm done, unless I find figures from older waves that I still want (ie 1st App Iron Man).
