During tonight's Hasbro Premium Party event they revealed two new Marvel Legends. A new Domino with double-jointed arms and Cannonball with legs that will have alternate screaming head. This will be a 2-pack. Thanks to Dan Who for the update.

They look nice. Glad they are doing the double joint elbows on a female body. I think they should have at least given the launch effect since many of us will be buying this even though we own the figure already...yes that one without legs. Hasbro knows how to hit the wallet...lol.

Domino with double-jointed elbows is so awesome. I seriously hope they don't charge $50 again for a pair of legs though. 

I want to enjoy 2-packs, but 50 bucks for barely more accessories is not worth it.

Yeah, Dwight Stall was making it sound like double-elbows on the ladies is going to become a fairly regular thing moving forward.  They've started using them on the GI Joe Classified line too, if the pics I've seen of Lady Jaye are any indication.

This is definitely buy for me, I don’t care for Cannonball but Domino with double jointed elbows is good enough to justify buying two pack, although I would love alternate head for her without head tiara thing.

Ha! This is funny to me because it's a re-do of the 2-pack with the same 2 characters they released way back in 2007. I think I'm fine sticking with that one that I still have. LOL! I have no doubt that these new ones will be better figures, but I'm just not going to spend $ twice on the same 2-pack. No thanks!

These look good, but not super-exciting. I'm guessing this will be $40.00, not $50.00? Have any of the comic-based 2-packs been $50.00? 

The Storm-Thunderbird 2-pack was $50. iirc old man logan & hawkeye set was $50 as well, and the rogue/pyro 2-pack.  So i'm guessing this one will be $50 too

I wasn't able to log on until recently, so I missed this reveal. Did they say what retailer this is exclusive to?

They kept saying "Pulse" like it was an exclusive. Maybe a Pulse exclusive, maybe an internet Fan-only release.

as far as I can see they said available on pulse but that could just be the tag line.

What Domino suit is that? It's not the Liefeld X-Force version right? I think the pink is throwing me. Anyway, I probably won't get it, I'm happy with the other Cannonball, but I'm glad that those who wanted legs now have them lol.

Those were only $50 because they were released under the X-Men anniversary subline, unless Domino and Cannonball also are, they should be $40.

good point! certainly based on the minimal accessories, $40 seems more reasonable. and that is assuming it is in fact a 2-pack, which doesn't seem 100% confirmed (??)... maybe they just showed them together to remind people of the old toybiz 2-pack with these two.

So the top half of the new Cannonball has different paint apps right?

i get Hasbro usually differs paint apps when they re-release figures but doesn’t this one defeat the point of owning that legless POS they originally released? I’m mean, you can’t even set them side by side in a pre-flight / flight scene.. 

this set isn’t for me but that’s the kind of thing that would bug me every time I saw it.. 

obviously people can pick or choose but as an apology figure they kinda dropped the ball here. Kinda like decision to use that Derby and modern suit on Mr. Hyde in lue of his more classic look...

Hasbro being Hasbro. First you sell half a figure and later you put a complete repainted figure in a two pack to max profit.

Well there is precedence here. A few examples of Hasbro releasing inferior figures then getting them right in a box set for twice the price are Scarlet Witch, Red Guardian, both Iron Man and Iron Spidey,.. probably a few more I’m forgetting

I hear ya, but I doubt they will re-tool the top, so my guess is the legs will probably be removable, so the new top half can go with the powered up base or the legs that come with it. The Juggernaut BAF in the Colossus two pack was not re-tooled (it was still a BAF). And who knows, the two pack could have the powered up effect too! 🙂

Yeah i have seen some pics with just the legs that seem to suggest the torso can be removed. but who knows at this point

A blast effect included with this figure would make sense. If people suspect that this would be a $50 Set that accessory would help justify the price..
