SDCC 2022 - Hasbro Gives A Teaser For Tomorrow's Marvel Legends Panel - What Could I Mean?

[Atlantis]

Terrax looks good. Razorback to me was always a bad joke, but he at least looks accurate.

It's Robbie Reyes and his Hell charger. There is literally no other option then that. 

Hell Charger could be cool, but if I had my say it would be an absolutely bananas, super detailed Ghost Rider with a different bike than the last one in the rider series, and it would come with a complimentary base, as well as tier add-in characters like Blackheart, Blackout, and The Orb! Or blow all of our minds and make it a Monsters Set that includes Ghost Rider on a new bike along with Marvel Monsters!

[Atlantis]

The notion that they say the love to do the "deep cuts" and "weirdos" is great, but they sure do slow walk the actual appearance of these figures. Gives me hope, though, that we may indeed see the likes of Equinox, Red Wolf, El Aguila, The Griffin.

Human Fly, that's a surprise. Too bad we don't have classic Yellowjacket yet. They blew it with the Beast. Perfect opportunity to do the Perez-Avengers era head. 

100% agree and with George’s  Recent passing, it could have been a nice tribute. 

Its not like that head doesn’t ALREADY EXSIST!! c’mon Hasbro, we know you have blue paint too...

I'm super happy with the updates to Beast, but 100% agree it would have taken almost zero effort to include the smiling gray Beast head in blue. And just for fun they coulda thrown in a Secret Invasion Skrull/Beast head!!!! 😉

[Hogun]

Hey Hasbro, what are you smoking to make you think that characters nobody has heard of should receive Marvel Legends before me and my friends?

[tarot]

I didn't realise until I watched the video but Firestar is on the new body...................have to get her now.

Yeah   they're doing Razorback.....that ridiculous, one-off CB craze trucker guy...before the WARRIORS THREE? Are you kidding me?!

The question is when.  2024? 2026?

[SpiderS]

Amazing revels, there isn't anything I was dying to see but nevertheless, all the figures look good, even loser heroes are pretty cool. Glad to see Symbiote team finally done, good head sculpts all around, Scorpion and Beast look beautiful, especially for straight up repaints although new Beast head is damn good it makes me consider getting it, they captured Jim Lee's art so well.

[McHogan]

Ok so I’m in the (very) minority here and liked the Loki in business casual from the  D+ wave.. that being said, whenever Loki was in possession of or in the vicinity of the tesseract he was in his Avengers 1 suit. ( ok,  except for a very brief scene in his series).. wouldn’t it have made sense to rerelease the tesseract with that suit?!?

[Kikipage1984]

Getting quite a few of these riot and agony for sure human fly and razorback I love obscure characters…..the fallen and terrax are definitely coming home gonna get 2 sentry’s so I can have him as void and update my old one white wolf also these are definite ones beast and scorpion are ones I am highly considering…..the haslab I am sure is Robbie Reyes so I am all in for that

[Dodge76]

Scorpion will be a grab for me. Riot and Agony are maybes. The rest are easy passes.

[Hordak Rules]

I'm not against having Razorback or Human Fly (they're obviously easy to do figures) but seriously where's my Stingray? Or Namorita?  Or Dr. Druid? Any of the Eternals in their comic outfits? My remaining Thunderbolts?

[Atlantis]

Same here, a lot of passes. I do like that Human Fly though. Can't tell from the pic but it doesn't look if he has the compound facets on the goggles the way he does in the comics. Wings look great, though. I thought we'd see Tarantula this time around.

Yeah, I agree they need to complete teams. Riot and Agony will complete the Life Foundation which is great. They need to complete the Jim Lee X-Men team and give us Jim Lee Banshee. I do not consider them complete till we get him. The same with Giant Size X-Men, we need a Banshee there as well. I am not even bothering with New Warriors because I know it will take years to finish that team. Rachel Summers should be announced this year in my opinion to complete Excalibur but I am not holding my breath.

[memocromatico]

Classic Loki and He who Remains are strong maybes. But maybes nonetheless.

I really thought we'd see tarantula as well

"...I'm not against having Razorback or Human Fly (they're obviously easy to do figures) but seriously where's my Stingray? Or Namorita?"

I think Namorita is one of characters I could see on the Shriek buck. If they do the irridescent green scale (like Ulik's armor)  one-piece or even bikini, it'll really pop and come out well. Namora, on the other hand, I feel needs a larger buck.

Stingray's another matter altogether. I'd like to see how they could pull that off. A plastic piece for the fins/wings wouldn't do, and I guess their next best bet would be something like the nylon "fabric" membrane they used on Siryn? 

Anyway I hear you. Its baffling  (that word again) that they make the choices they do, but if the Human Fly and Razorback (??) are coming, I imagine Tarantula and Man-Wolf aren't far behind?

[RoMe00150]

Definitely picking up Beast since I missed him the first time around. Symbiotes for sure only missing Scream and I'd like to complete the team, Human Fly & Razorback for me too love me some Spider-Man characters. Scorpion eh I'm not sure while I missed the first one I might track that one down instead since he has comic colors and not animated colors

[Air-Walker]

Super happy about the Beast re-release! Fly looks good though the screaming face is annoying, and I'm definitely getting Terrax. That new Black Panther is an absolute godsend, as I shall get it and swap out parts with the old WM exclusive version to make the perfect BP! Razorback...there's a whooooooole litany of characters I'd have expected to see before him, lol, but he looks great. I think I may get him too.

For Stingray, I wonder if they wouldn’t go the route on how they did SongBird., just on big piece that fits on his back. Maybe add smaller pieces for when he isn’t at “full mast”.. 

[monron999]

Damn, they weren't lying when they said they were digging deep. Human Fly and Razorback were an unexpected, yet welcome surprise. The rub is they'll probably end up being the best characters in another terrible wave. Whatever, if this year has taught me anything it's that cherry picking is a good thing.

I love the Fallen and I love that they used the Spider UK buck, but seeing it just infuriates me that they did Surfer (3rd time is not a charm) and Firelord an that stupid Sunfire buck. I have the original Terrax and I look at it quite often and if there are any differences in this one they're fairly minor, and actually it seems like this one's face sculpt is more simplistic.

While this new Scorpion has a more classic head sculpt and color scheme it looks like they pretty much used the exact same buck. It's a great looking buck but it's too small for Gargan. Did they even consult any reference material on this? So now we have a 5'10", 150 lb. Retro Electro on the Spider UK buck and a 6'2", 240 lb Retro Scorpion on a buck smaller than the new Spider-Man buck. Again, total failure on detail. The Toybiz version gets the win on this one. The biggest knock on Hasbro is their tendency latch on to some really inaccurate body molds and continue to insist on using them inaccurately.

Now they finally got something right with Sentry. They knew he was on the wrong mold with the Hyperion buck and they fixed it. It looks great. Clearly someone knows what they're doing so why is it so hard to get others like Silver Surfer right? Just use this mold, or even the damn Vulcan mold would be better at this point. Hopefully this is the start of a trend of Hasbro not being against going back and fixing old mistakes. If the exclusive route is the best way to do that I'm willing to deal with the frustration. I'll even pay scumbag scalpers if I need to.

While it would make sense that Agony would be in a wave with the Fly and Razorback with Riot as the BAF, something makes me feel like all those characters are to obscure for one wave. Not that I mind but that's not Hasbro's typical MO. Maybe they'll do a new Daredevil on the Vulcan mold. Not sure which Spidey will make the cut. Maybe the one at the end of No Way Home.

I swear, after the Gamerverse, Disney+ is the single worst thing to happen to the ML brand. Actor characters in street clothes and robes who barely look like they belong in a superhero universe. Weird, out of place characters from a What If? corner that don't fit in anywhere but they're own little niche. All making it so easy to save money but infuriating that they take up space that could have been better served. Again, I'm not against movie and TV characters but the endless repeats and drab characters are getting nauseating. I already bought your terrible Loki on the tiny, spaghetti limb, prepubescent teen choirboy buck. I don't need another one. Even the prospect of non jacket arms is not enough to sway me. And He Who Remains? It's just a dude. In a robe. They coulda thrown this cat in with the Eternals wave and he would a blended right in. I think I can wait till he shows up in a movie with a decent budget where he'll actually appear as Kang.

Beast with soft goods coat. Pass. I got my definitive Beast already. Good for those who want it but the tease was more like a fizzle. Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends? We asked for it so many years ago, but I'm over it. I got a good Spidey, I got Firestar, I got Iceman who is damned (like silver Surfer) to never be done correctly. A little bit of so-called cell shading isn't tempting me any. I'd like to have Fiestar on the Shriek mold but it's not worth the price of admission. Judging by the reaction of the crowd, who pretty much slobbered over everything else, not all that many seemed all that interested either. I think there's a likelihood this thing will undersell and end up on the etailer market. Maybe I'll pick it up on sale or even grab Firestar as a single.

Not a terrible panel by today's standard, but a far cry from the excitement generating panels from the good old days.

[Ironspider428]

I'm probably going to swap the heads between my Tesseract and D+ wave 1 Loki, the moving hair makes more sense for the scenes he used that sword in the show. Also I just realized that Kang has very similar sandals to Arthur Harrow. Potential future reuse? I need an Arthur for the Moon Knight display.
