[JayC]

Pixel-Dan interviews the folks at Hasbro to talk about the 3 3/4" Marvel Legends Retro line and reveal the newest wave which includes Nova, Firestar, Moon Knight and Amazing Fantasy 1st Appearance Spider-Man.

These will be going up for pre-order tomorrow (6/7) at 1pm ET at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth.

I really don't get why this line exists, it's a weird fake "nostalgic" what if thing, it's no secret wars (I know that Mattel somehow holds copyrights or something) and it's not even toy biz marvel superhero line, it doesn't even try to fill the niche left by Marvel Universe line, I get that they cannot get have a highly articulated line of 3 3/4 line like they used to but at least they could give this line better articulation like single jointed elbows and knees, some waist swivel. in nutshell I pretty much would like to see  something similar to Classic G.I. Joe articulation which would be less than MU but way better than this and with just one body for males and females each it would make some economical sense.

More articulation = more expensive. The whole point of these as with all the other companies doing these type of minimal articulation figures is to put something out there that is relatively cheap and that tries to tap into nostalgia. And yes they couldnt do the Mattel ones so I guess they decided this was the next best thing.

Oh wow they did a Moon Knight, I am surprised by this wave, it's a pretty big leap away from the mainstream characters they have been doing, Nova, Firestar and Moon Knight, cool!, I don't collect these but I will buy that Moon Knight just to put on my wall.

Uuuuugh! Are we not over this fad yet?

I think this line works for masked figures like spiderman...for jean grey and firestar, it feels like they need a face makeover..firestar looks scary with white eyes and mouth

The one thing I like about this line are the classic paint apps. This Nova and Moon Knight, for example, look better than their 6” figures imo.

All it would take for me to be all in on this line is a knee joint and a couple bucks cheaper (that'll never happen.) I'd love to have elbows too but knees would put them at the same articulation level as the 90s Marvel Superheroes line which is why I got into toys as a kid. That would get my nostalgia going way more than this. Moon Knight does look cool though.
