Re: Marvel Legends discussion

For anyone who's curious, Marvelousnews.com posted some comparison pics of the Walmart exclusives (6-armed Spider-Man/Morbius 2-pack, Joe Fixit and Bucky Captain America) with pics of the original figures of those characters.

The originals are on the right side of each photo.

WOW!


That Bucky Cap is miles better (and bigger) than the original. Look how tiny that original Bucky Cap mold is compared to the current Vulcan mold.


Same goes for the Joe Fixit...much better with the new exclusive.


Spidey and Morbius don't look appreciably better than their original releases.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

They just released new pictures of the new infinity saga wave. Iron Man and War Machine I might get but this whole wave appears to be re-use and repaints that will probably be $45-$50. I don't really think I want to spend that much on old bucks.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

Yeah! This is probably what they meant by an MCU announcement this week.

I guess the NWH Wave 2 will be announced next month.


These figures seem like a necessary evil for Hasbro to release. Obviously the current MCU characters won't sell as well as these OGs from Phases 1-3. So they'll regularly be re-done and re-released.

I don't mind them re-releasing old MCU figures but it's frustrating when they are re-issuing figures like that very flawed War Machine when we should be getting a War Machine Mk 1 instead as we still don't have a modern version of that suit in Legends form..

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

Pretty sure there are new heads for most of these figures, but other than that I don't think there is much new outside of some paint apps.

Pic of the exclusive Nova (in his red Kid Nova costume from New Warriors # 1) figure and kit that is available for anyone who signs up for a Marvel Unlimited online comic subscription.

Is that available for Canadians?


I thought I read somewhere that it was available to us.

From what I read only Marvel Unlimited is available to Canadians. Not Marvel Unlimited plus which is how you would get the figure..
