Interesting to see what character Captain Shaw will be.

Agreed and again, its all about getting the value for your dollar. Sure, people have been pining for a Lockjaw on this forum since it began....but did you ever think when they finally got around to making him, he'd have almost no articulation (looks like maybe 10 poa?) Especially when hasbo's already done fully articulated animals for both their GI Joseph and Marvel lines?? This is a figurine with an action figure for $70.00, practically the same trick they played for that Phoenix. Using inflation as the excuse just won't work- hasbo raises prices to increase their profits, and they can do it because they have virtually no competition with the Marvel line. Too many people are buying into the notion that its "inflation" or "they'll never make it again, so get it now".

Allfather Odin, you have arrived in toy form. I wait thy order whilst Fandral, Volstagg and I await our figures.

This figure could very well win the award for Most Bang for Your Buck of 2024, its other competitor is Let There Be Carnage Carnage. Depending on where you purchase it from. But its MSRP is the same as any other average size figure and the amount of accessories it comes with make it feel like a deluxe.

They definitely put love into this, but the reality is also that these aren't really marquee characters. If they're already doing smaller runs of even the big name characters and increasingly moving waves not tied to movies or TV shows to online-only, it wouldn't surprise me if these two were also produced in smaller numbers.

As confirmed by sources to Deadline, Todd Stashwick, known for his role in Star Trek: Picard, has been cast alongside Paul Bettany and James Spader in the forthcoming Vision-focused spinoff series of WandaVision on Disney+. Bettany, known for appearing in three Marvel films and WandaVision, will return to portray the character Vision in the series. Additionally, Spader will be reprising his role as Ultron within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Let there be Carnage wasn't that bad of a film.

I disagree. Look at all the often excellent promo pics that Hasbro releases across their brands, that are posted on-line. Using the Internet to showcase their products is really savvy because they don't have associated print costs for magazine ads. All they do is release an image on their own site and it get disseminated by others interested in sharing and promoting it. I mean, just look at all the toy retailers---those pics on their listings are provided BY Hasbro. Cross-sell is a good practise, in theory, but it's not really necessary ( and is somewhat redundant) when the Internet is so prolific. It's only been in the last decade or so that the toy industry has largely grudgingly conceded that children are no longer their consumer audience for action figures. It's adult males averaging around the ages of about 30-40, who are all using the Internet, and very largely aware of what product is out there and where to find it. Cross-sell is wasted graphic space on the packaging, and character bio info becomes problematic when multi-lingual text has to be given space. The image of a character on the back is there ONLY so that the package can be identified from the reverse if it is not placed face-front on a store shelf.

I don't know. To my POV, I think a lower production run says there's a lack of confidence in the item selling, so they want to hedge things. But that same thinking says that they would put LESS effort into the item itself--the design of this. Crystal looks incredible, LockJaw looks like a smart FRUGAL toy design for what it's trying to do. Someone really cared about this set, put some thought and effort into it, and it seems counter-intuitive to make LESS of something made really well.

I'm on both sides of this argument. I insta ordered, with zero hesitation due to the new characters. Like Reno, I'm always gonna get actually new characters. And yes Lockjaw will be solid, not hollow, just like Blob. But remember people did complain quite a bit about Blob. Meanwhile, I waited for Zemo to go onsale due to that lazy repaint of Zola. I am waiting for a sale on Strange and Wong for the same reason. Zemo is literally my favorite villain and Wong has been high on my needs list for years and years. But I need to offset some buys to make up for "must haves" like this one. I still feel like a rube for buying that Phoenix, but it looks like a great figure. Idk. If the Crystal and LJ set had been 65 I think there would have been considerably less griping, as weird as that sounds. I think a big big reason for the complaints is the speed of the increases. It took a decade to go from 7.99 to 14.99. Now the 22.99 pricing lasted about a year until it went to 25.99. We can rationally talk about ALL the outside and inside factors, but it doesn't feel right. And being that none of these are needs, as much as part of me thinks they are, it is harder and harder to swallow. I truly can't imaging the pain of you Canadians and Aussies. Every year I tell myself, this might be it. And then they "pull me back In!" with something I personally can't say no to. I will say at these prices, they are gonna have to chill tf out with the lazy repaints and letting obvious mistakes in body size and costume decor get past them. Especially if it comes with a baf piece. But for now, I still love getting and opening my new figures. Putting them with their teammates, or entering them into a giant battle on a living room bookcase, ect. And when I do that, I'm not thinking about money one bit. But at some point it'll be unavoidable.

It's not just Marvel legends , Hasbro are bad with all their products. Transformers, G.I. Joe, Star Wars in general have no info about other figures available. It is annoying especially when other companies like Mattel and Playmates do show other toys available.

This could go on sale as many predict for at least $60, however, there's depressing possibility that this price is the way it is because they had significantly lower production run this time and wanted to avoid having remaining stock go for liquidation like with previous releases that end up in Ollie's and such outlets. And it does seems like that smaller production runs are the new normal for the industry.

Oh, I get it and good for you for knowing where your line is and being able to say enough is enough. I'm that way with some things, but this line is my weakness. However I am drawing the line more and more with buying re-makes of the same characters over and over and just saying what I have is good enough. New previously unmade characters, though? I buy those 100% of the time, with no exceptions. I am like you with other things though, like vehicles. I refuse to pay over $25,000 for any new vehicle, ever. It also doesn't help that I refuse to drive a "car." Fortunately I work 100% from home and drive less than 6000 miles per year so the mid-sized SUV that I bought new in 2018 for under $20k still has less than 40,000 miles on it. At that rate I may never need to buy another one... at least until they outlaw internal combustion engines, but that's a completely different topic. ☺️ Inflation sucks, period -- and we all individually have to figure out what we're willing to pay for and what we're not.

Like I said, and was quoted--I'm out. There's some good sweet in that set, but too much sour in the price. I've had history with ML since BEFORE the beginning. I was paying $20 a pop in a small town while everyone else was paying $10 elsewhere---because I loved the line. Point of saying that: I wasn't giving up on it. But now i have reached a limit, and if moaning about it isn't just moaning......it's a signal that a threshold is being reached. Sure we all did voice complaints about it........and they were grudging ones. Personally, I got no grudge left in me. I have a cold hardcore stop. There is NOTHING Hasbro can do to pull me over that price threshold--it may as well be MEZCO One:12.

I'm not defending Hasbro's pricing decisions and everyone has to make their own decisions about their money and value, but for years these two characters have ranked highly on many published Top Ten Most Wanted lists. I've seen some people saying that Lockjaw should have been a BAF instead -- sure but then you're talking about an outlay of at least $150 instead of $70. It's funny to me that I've seen more hand wringing about pricing on this highly desired set than when they charged $70 for just Blob, or $60 for Odin or even Cyborg Spider-Woman. I'm pretty sure that Kang with Time Chair is going to be at this same price point also. Rumor has it that the Secret Wars set that is set to be unveiled next week is going to have a retail price of $33.99 each per figure. I expect people to lose their minds when the price for the Dragon Man figure is announced. Prices go up all the time. When I got into this line the Toy Biz 6" figures were $7.99 and generally had far better articulation, better paint and detail (at least for the time) than what we get today. It's not a cheap hobby, but at this point we should all know that prices only go up. Sure, I would have loved to have gotten this for like $40 instead but Hasbro probably simply would have chosen not to make it at that price point in 2024.

Not trying to be like that, but there really is a ton of griping about this price tag when it seemed pretty obvious this was how much this was going to cost in Canada, and it was pretty par for the course, look at how recent deluxe figures have been priced, Odin around 80-85, Hulkbuster same, Phoenix 70... you thought this was gonna be a hot deal? Lockjaw if released as a single figure would have been probably more then Odin or Hulkbuster, he's a substantial amount of plastic, so actually getting a 80 CDN lockjaw with a 40 CDN Crystal for 100 + taxes is kinda a hot deal in Canada. Marvel Legends are not baby's toys anymore it's not 2014 where these cost 17.99, or even 2017 when they cost 29.99, these cost 36.99 a standard figure without tax , and add shipping if that's yer move. just saying it is what it is, and the price moaners are sorta getting tired, buy or not, but like this is the reality, since covid these figure prices have skyrocketed, 2019 these figures were 31 in canada as of 2024 MSRP is 36.99 , Yikes yes, but it's what it is, Hasbro ain't changing prices for anyone. the complaining about price has been at an all time high and I'm not sure how people feel blindsided? am I thrilled no, does it still blow my mind Someone thought it was cute to pretend Phoenix and a stand was a 2 pack, no, but remember when TRU thought Spider Man Noir and a statue of spider-pig was a 85 dollar 2 pack? yeah...big huge lump of plastic lockjaw you can probably use as a doorstop and a crystal figure for 100 seems pretty Hawt right now.

In-hand review already? Lol, they probably got this and reviewed it before we could even order it. Sometimes Hasbro's introductions of new and upcoming figures really confuse me. Ah well, at least I don't have long to wait for my in-hand review, lol.

$100 CDN for this set?? It'd be over $130 with ship and sales taxes, all rolled in. Nope. Uh-uh. I'm out. Nice set, REALLY nice set, but...........over-priced by double. This and "made-to-order" is what will drive me out of Marvel Legends. 😞

The 70 quid price tag, put this out of my budget sadly.

I wonder how long until we get a Gold version to match the cover

Honestly hate that unhelmeted head sculpt it's creepy and bad, not sure what vibe is trying to convey either way sometimes I wonder who green lights these things, Helmeted head looks good, figure is good, figure is also not really something that I need personally, but did I buy it because I needed an Xavier yes, and it's cool for what it is, but then the day I get this they announce pre-orders for the Xavier I want..and now this feels like a I don't care that much purchase. This does look really nice with Lilandra though, the two do compliment each other.

Was pretty upset that this for one never went up on Amazon Canada when it should have, and appears not to be there, but then I waited all day until for work this to go up on Gamestop Canada, never did until it of course randomly went up at a time I had no clue about and sold out (I even checked when I could throughout the night), Getting really tired of this game in Canada, pre-orders go up randomly, maybe that day, maybe next month, who knows don't plan around it, and then to sell out. whatever.....

Agreed, the more I see this figure, which has been quite a bit, especially at Fan Expo, I just find this figure ugly, hate the head sculpt, Carnage never in my mind has had white teeth, and such a little amount of them, they look like buck burnt candle sticks, I'm so not interested in this figure, and My main ML thing is Symbiotes, we have far superior Carnage representations out there, Ultimate GG wave even being the earliest of the best still beats this IMO, this thing is sloppy and redundant since they re-released the better Venompool wave Carnage like no time ago. which even had an alt head, this isn't it. And yes it's crazy how a movie like Venom 2 sucked so much and Carnage was so crud in that movie with his easy to killness and massive size, they made that movie figure superb, this one is no good to me. This figure doesn;t even portray what they are trying for, it's not comic or animated because it matches no depiction of either of those (and we have both of those already), this is like a Temu kitbash, made by some guy who has no idea what's what. Sorry I said it.
