Re: Marvel Legends discussion

Is the new Doctor Strange figure the same as the one we just got in the No Way Home wave? Are they seriously double-dipping in the very next wave?

Idk how you price that more than the Marvel Select Hulk, when it's the objectively better figure.
And that earlier Hulk and 1st Appearance Wolverine was something of a pegwarmer, so how a $56 singular Hulk is going to sell well is beyond me. I don't like the two headscupts either.

It has the outlines that's akin to the comic strange's deco (logo of himself and cape), and the Eye of Agamotto seems to be molded onto the body.



In comparison, NWH's Strange has the robe design, and the Eye of Agamotto is free-flowing. Head sculpt seems really similar between both.

Personally, I like NWH Strange, but I don't think anyone can go wrong with either of these.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

Yeah they're both good. Personally, I don't know if I want one though.

Got the Marvel Select Strange a few years back, and it still holds up.




He just has to be positioned in a legs-bent action pose to blend in with the MLs.

Gamestop has it listed for $64.99! 2 pack price! I have to hope this is an error like Mastro was initially and it gets corrected. I saw it for $44.99 at https://outruncollectibles.ca/ which seems way more reasonable. Any one ever order from them because now I'm tempted.

Indeed. It was $44.99 but now they corrected (upped) the price. Crazy price on this.

But it comes with four whole extra pieces of plastic, and a package you're not even going to open!

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

With the way things are going, I am guessing we may hit $39.99 for the standard ML6 (and Star Wars Black Series) releases by end of 2022. I hope I am wrong, but the price creep is real.

Like this Strange with Magic Effect, Hasbro seems to want to "Deluxe" everything now to try to see what collectors will absorb with their wallets.
