Um, ok? Really cute, but I don't know what I'd do with it...

Can you feel the power of our latest Youtooz? Well can you?! Because Deadpool and Wolverine make their return with the most electrifying pair of figures we’ve ever unleashed! At 4.6 inches tall, this powerful scene sees Deadpool and Wolverine grasping each other's arms as they smash their hands (or claws) into the blue and yellow pillars at either side to let a dimension-ending power wrap through their bodies. With Wolverine letting out a pained yell from his mutton-chopped face as his bare chest glows red with electrical heat, Deadpool looks over to say some witty final words which are hidden by his thick red mask. The exterior of their packaging seems the pair between two colored pillars with electricity coursing across their bodies. While the interior mimics rough paper which Deadpool has scrawled over, this then continues onto the protective sleeve where their figures can be seen through the large clear window at the packaging’s front. This collectible ships in a matte, embossed, protective outer sleeve and a custom-sized plastic protector for maximum protection during shipping. You can pre-order this from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com.

The Venomverse Deluxe Venom looks nice, as I wouldn't mind getting it just for a 4" Winged version of the character, since that seems to be a thing in the recent comics(I think it was the "King In Black" Storyline). I already got the Marvel Select 7" Venom version with the swapping heads and hands as my default Venom for my 6" figures, so I'm good with a 6" version of the character. I am curious if the real figure will have that slightly shine to it or not, as the photos seem to suggest that. Though it could also be photo shop pics as well. Having said that, I'm surprised that Hasbro didn't just re-released and repaint the Water Blasting Wings from that Epic Heroes Deluxe Green Venom with Water Blasting Wings from the 4" Web Splashers line they did released either late 2023 or early 2024, because it looks like a new set of wings for the upcoming figure. To see what I'm referring to, here's a link from Amazon.ca: - https://www.amazon.ca/Marvel-Splashers-Symbiote-Vehicle-Playset/dp/B0CFZMLF37 Will consider Iron Man as well, since it does look a bit unique. Not sure on Black Panther. Will have to see how Spidey looks, let alone if he is going to have multiple variants. I'm okay without Loki and Captain America. If they do that Black Widow Venom figure(Which I highly doubt, but you never know) from the recent comics, I'll consider that too.

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. First off today, if you haven't already, Please vote in the third part of the Best of Marvel Legends '24 where we look at Comic figures. (Click here). We are having quite a battle in all categories, but your vote could tip the scale for your favorite figure. Next up, I would like to announce that Nearcompleteset is now on BlueSky. If you are using that social media site you can follow us here - @komicncs.bsky.social. Lastly, we also look at the latest character to be made into a Marvel Legend with the forgotten side-kick of Spider-man, Bailey Briggs aka Spider-boy. This is a fairly new character but I'm glad to have him because you know, new character is still a new character.

Maybe that's why Dan has is fingers crossed and praying. Maybe there are plans for a livestream but it hasn't been confirmed by Hasbro

I think they would have announced that by now but you never know with them.

It's possible.

End of the year stream?

Jada is doing amazing work, but there's no way they have the production capacity for something like Marvel Legends. They're a much smaller company and the Street Fighter line, while amazing, struggles to get out a handful of figures a year. The figures themselves are some of the best on the market, but they need at least a few more years of growth before they can realistically handle a license as massive as Marvel.

I disagree that Hasbro has mistakes or blunders with ML--I think, in terms of marketing, they've been absolutely brilliant! I mean, they've given collectors CHOICE. How many versions of Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, etc??? Wolverine with GOLD belt-buckle, Wolverine with YELLOW belt-buckle. Wolverine with NO belt-buckle........and we buy every one!! Why, if Hasbro made the famed Malibu Stacy dolls........they could come with...........HATS!!! Gosh. Truth be told, I think the figures Hasbro has made have mostly been really good. There's been some morts, sure..........but also some masterpieces too. And like I said, there's been lots of choice along the way.

Great points. One thing I would add is the underlying issue here is that people didn't just suddenly decide another company should take the reins. The quality, accuracy, output, distribution etc. has been hit and miss, mostly miss, and over the years, that takes a toll on collectors. Many feel that the mistakes and blunders made are easily preventable, and that basically they're not being listened to. And that's on hasbo. They're got the tools, they've got the talent. They have the most sought after IPs around, so they should respect that as such. The Marvel line (done correctly) is basically a license to print money. I don't see them losing it anytime soon, but I'd rather it not be done at all if its not going to be done right.

Newcomer - Death's head Remake - Superior Spider-Man AU - Spider-shot Costume - Classic Jack O'Lantern Re-release - Secret Wars Wolverine Villain - Jack O'Lantern Female - Power Princess

Alright here's what I got. Best Newcomer Hallow's Eve - as soon as I saw her in the comics I knew I wanted a figure, like bad, I love her look, I was so happy to get a figure and it was all I hoped for. Best Remake Scarlet Spider - Scarlet Spider is one of my fav characters, ben in this costume, and I've been waiting for the best version to date and this was it, they did this amazing, the fact that it was so hard to find says that everyone thought the same. Alterenate Universe Spider-Shot - Spider-Shot is so cool looking to me, they did a stand up job on this. Best New Costume Armored Dracula - I've been asking for a dracula since forever, this is actually the version I wanted the most, and it's a winner. Best Re-Release / Repaint Cabal Dr. Doom/Doombot - I know ...yeah this figure when it was in the Super Skrull wave was a delight, but the re-do with a doombot head and soft goods, might just be one of my fav legends, it's classic doom, but now with more Doom bot, it's such a great looking figure. Best Villain Lady Mandarin (Psylocke) - I loved this one, really a magnificent looking figure IMO, had to win something for me. Best Female Power Princess - PP might be one of the best standard release female figures in a really long time, a whole new sculpt, so well executed, and I think it's a no brainer.

This was HARD. All caps. Newcomer - Lockjaw. I really wanted to pick Crystar but Lockjaw has been a want of mine for decades Remake - Dan Ketch's Ghost Rider AU - Bloodstorm Costume - Classic She-Hulk Re-release - Retro Carnage Villain - Armored Dracula Female - She-Hulk

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. Today we will look at the results of the second part of the Best of Marvel Legends '24. On Monday I asked you to pick the best figures that were either Exclusives or part of a Multi-pack. Well. you guys have decided and here are the results. Just to reminder you, the winners of these will move onto the Finals. Best Single Exclusive Winner with 45.45%: Target's Warbird Taking the top spot of the best Single Exclusive is the Target exclusive set of the 85th Anniversary, Warbird. Can she also take the best Female comic figure? we will find out next week. Taking second place, we have Death's Head with 25.00% and a very distance third with 9.09% is the retro carded Venom. The rest were Prof X Warlord with6.82% and Captain America (Secret Empire), Retro Carnage and Retro Quicksilver taking last place. Best Non-Exclusive 2-pack Winner with 48.89% : Luke Cage and Iron Fist Taking the non-exclusive 2-pack we have the Heroes for Hire 2-pack from the 85th anniversary line. Granted the rest was best Wolverine with another character but taking second place with 31.11% is the Sabretooth set followed by the Lilandra set and Lady Mandarin set with 6.67%. The f4 Wolverine and Spidey set was next with the Patch and Hulk tuxedo set taking last place. Best Exclusive 2-pack Winner with 31.82%: Giant man and The Wasp Now for the exclusive 2-pack, we have the first one that was really close by the Pulse Exclusive Giant-man and Wasp set. But they weren't without contest as taking second place with 27.27% was the Lockjaw and Crystal set and third with 13.64% was Punisher and Bushwacker. In order, the line up was Hydro man and Daredevil / Destiny and Rogue (Tied), The Sentinel 2-pack / Vulture and Spider-man (Tied) and Wong and Strange / Outriders 2-pack. The Morbius and Dr. Strange 2-pack and the Baron Zemo and Arnim Zola got no vote. Best Multipack (3 or more) Winner with 54.55%: The Cabal As you can tell by the votes and since there was only 2 candidate sets, this was really close but the Cabal set won out in the end. The SHIELD was a great set in it's own right but the fans have spoken. And that is the best Exclusive and Multipack of 2024. Thanks for all that voted. The next part will up later today and it's everyone's favorite so check back later.

This Venomverse has way to many gimmicks & translucent parts?! The only interesting figure is Venom himself. Those Mech Strike Avengers versions are already at discount stores & did not last very long at regular retail.

Scored Retro Iron Man wave Model 24 ( not model 20) Iron Man---actually to replace the old Toybiz "Model 20" ( again, actually Mk 24) that's still "okay". The new rendition is a nice solid figure, that is a clear step forward in proportions, but 2 steps back in terms of features. The Toybiz 24 has the removable faceplate and the poseable figures, which i still like. If I may editorialize for a moment here---this is a fundamental problem with ML and "upgrading" a figure--Hasbro plays trade-offs. Any improvements are lateral, not progressive. The Hasbro 24 still has flaws--no wrist improvement, no toe joint or fingers, no Toy Stark face under the faceplate etc, I get that's not Hasbro's regime anymore, but there's no real plussing in this figure. It's "nice", but it could also be a lot nicer and offer a lot more to make it really stand out. If you never got the ToyBiz rendition, the Hasbro 24 is excellent........but that Toybiz one was too, for it's time.

Shown below is the new Marvel Comics Iron Patriot 1/6th scale collectible figure from Hot Toys. Stay tuned for more details! After the invasion of the Skrulls, Norman Osborn emerged as the new world hero. When he decided to form a new team of Avengers, he realized that they needed to embody the heroic images of Captain America and Iron Man. Therefore, he created the Iron Patriot armor, a suit that combines elements of Iron Man's technology with the colors of the American flag. We are thrilled to present the Iron Patriot as a diecast 1/6th scale collectible figure inspired by Marvel Comics. This exclusive figure is available in a limited quantity of 3,000 units, exclusively in selected markets. Inspired by the Iron Patriot armor suit as seen in Marvel Comics, this meticulously crafted collectible is made from diecast material and skillfully painted in metallic red, blue, and silver. The figure features a newly developed helmet with an LED light-up function, a sleek armor design with 25 LED light-up points throughout the body, multiple pairs of interchangeable hands for dynamic poses, a circular Captain America shield, and a specially designed figure stand with its own LED light-up function. This Iron Patriot collectible figure will be an incredible addition to your Marvel collection!

That looks great! That's surely one of the best way to display X-Men.

If there going to do these newer characters can we get at least get a rek-rap out of it? It would be exciting if they started to do the Slingers, like Prodigy, hornet, etc. But I wish Cardiac got some love.

Sadly, I have only negative feelings about Spider-Boy, to me it's a symptom of mega-ultra-over milking of Spider-Man franchise, maybe in 10 years I will be proven wrong and we will have another great Spider-Verse characters but so far I do share the sentiment that there's other Spider characters and even remakes of older characters who deserved that slot.

Yeah, I might just buy a Marvel Legends Elektra, and pose it and my DD in front of my copy of DD 168...

The spider family is just over complicated imo. Just try explaining Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter to someone who doesn't know spider woman. Swarm should be one of those new made to order things.

Agree. And indeed it is lazy. Take an iconic cover from a heavily emotional story line and take a Standing There Man and kind of paint his costume to look like the guy on the cover. Couldn't make it less appealing if they tried.
