Hasbro Marvel Legends Live-Stream For December 2022 - X-Men 3-Packs, Deluxe Blob And More

[SpiderS]

There are a lot of great reveals but sadly most problematic are the ones I need to get, WTF is with Emma's face? Are they homaging Annihilus Wave 1 Emma? Couldn't they reuse a perfectly fine head sculpt from the previous Emma figure? Also, why does Rogue have 5head? I really hope we won't get another retro Invisible woman situation again. 

[Air-Walker]

Yeah, Emma's face is a bit of a head scratcher, but I can make use of the figure; maybe a head/ hair swap. The only ones I have no real use for at all are the Fire-barfing guy and the kid with the pink mohawk. Still....a very small price to play for Ch'od!! 

[Dodge76]

I would love to grab everything but sadly I can't so the Banshee 3 pack and Emma Frost figures are the most likely for me. Rogue also. I am sticking with my old Blob BAF.

No no. Kid Omega is on the smaller Amazing Fantasy body. Gamerverse Spidey is on the RYV body. They are 2 different builds.

Okay, I see it now. I didn't get the Amazing Fantasy Spidey so I didn't realize they were separate builds. I guess somewhere in my journey to be more selective of what I buy I realized I didn't need EVERY Spidey. I do see the difference though, but it still doesn't change the fact that it's still a little much for a character like KO who doesn't necessarily have a need to be extra flexible. I'm all for mixing up the sculpts to get as much variety as possible but stuff like this just makes it worse when they use a buck like this for a character like KO and then turn around, and I guarantee they will, and not use it on a character where it is appropriate, but instead use a more restrictive or improperly scaled buck. We already see something similar with Fang. Sure, I love the Spider UK buck, but if there was ever ANY other character in the Marvel Universe that would have been appropriate for the Wolvie buck it would a been the 5'4" Fang. Literally the two shortest "Regular" sized male characters in the entire MU with similar muscular builds and they still manage to screw it up. I have a feeling they did it on purpose do they can do Wolverine in Fang costume in either a future X-Men wave or, more likely, a multipack where they'll have us all clamoring to get it so we can swap out the heads and build a proper Fang. Hasbro's shady like that.

[ransomz]

If Ch'od is the BAF then I will be getting the wave. Otherwise I'll be cherry picking. Monet. Corsair. Emma. That Cyclops looks cool but I already have three versions of him I like.

Mmhm agreed. Like I said a page or 2 back, this is such a missed opportunity. I would’ve gotten 2 of these if he had been on the Wolverine buck.  
Just another one of those figures you look at and wonder wth they were thinking. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this is one of their dirty little games being played here, like they tend to do from time to time. I definitely wanna see Wolverine happen in the Fang suit still. Maybe for good measure, they’d include a Fang head with a stoic expression or something.

Youre right and what really gets me, is that its so very uncalled for. Banshee's non screaming head vs the screaming one for example. What, his mutton chops disappear when he useds the sonic scream?? Are they gonna pull that for the classic green/yellow outfit too, just to make sure we buy it? Does any true fan really gonna buy the one and not the other? Oy!

He can grow mutton chops at will, it's his secondary mutation.

Hah if they give the classic green version 2 heads, watch the chops be on the screaming head and not the other + also have different skin/hair paint than the blue version’s 😄

Anyway, I have nearly zero interest in the 3-packs. The ladies look excellent imo but I’m just not liking the guys enough. Forge’s head doesn’t look very Jim Lee inspired. And this high-riding thigh band they all share just won’t—stop—bugging me! If that was done all for the sake of hiding the thigh cut then why didn’t they do that to the women? Or was it so they didn’t have to make new thighs for Wolverine? Are his hips the same piece as theirs? Whatever, I dunno.
If these sets ever see a significant price drop, I might reconsider picking them up. But until then, they remain a hard pass in my book.

Yes. Dwight mentioned that he designed Banshee's heads in different period for collectors to custom the green one before they reveal it in the future. A bit of shameless for an official Hasbro designer to say that lol

[Mochan]

What wrong with M is not her head, but her body. She and Husk were just teen girl at Gen X team and weren't that tall, and the shriek body mold looks too mature for them.

Those big armor have different versions in different artists' running. Even Chris Bachalo changed it for three times. Hasbro chose the version I personally dislike most, when Bachalo's drawing became so strange. Yet they still didn't do it right. Those strange dots should be the buckles! I will keep making the first version of Gen-X suit.

Well at least Chamber is perfect.😇

So are they hinting that they are going to release a green Banshee but with only one head? That would be really dumb.

I'm digging Emma Frost and Cyclops (although the face on Emma isn't 100% right in my opinion, I like the Walgreens long haired one better).

For me, with the expression and makeup, she has exactly the same mean face she showed in the Astonishing X-men running by John Cassaday.

No one knows when and what will happen. Until now we still not get a complete Lilandra figure.

And this is not the first time. Cannonball in the X-force three pack has an alternate head with square goggles, which should match with his later X-force suit.

[JayC]

Today's pre-orders are now available at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth and will help you round out these teams.

[MODADDYDODOK]

Dang I had only went to take a peek at what the prices looked like on Pulse and Rogue was already sold out. 🫣

Edit: Oh nvm she is back up. Hmm what to do, what to do 🤔. 
Meh, I can wait.

[NotNamed]

Still need that Rogue to complete the 275 cover.

[Sidewinder]

Is the Blob available on Amazon?  I can’t find him.

[Amazing_Spidey]

Disappointed with the Blob. He just looks like an obese guy you'd see walking around anywhere. The old BAF Blob was much better - he looked like a mutant. This Blob is an easy pass. As a matter of fact most of the pre-orders are a pass for me.

[MeGrimlock78]

I'm disappointed that Wolverine's colours don't quite match.  Looks like he got the "deluxe" belt too, with molded X instead of a printed one like the rest of the team.

Minor quibbles, I know, but when trying to make a unified look...

[monron999]

Initially I was disappointed with Forge's face sculpt, but these pictures are much better and it actually doesn't look all that bad. Now if we can just get new pictures of Fang where it is clear that the previous pictures only look like he was done on the Spider UK buck but is actually on the Wolverine buck we'd be all good. Monet's head is still tiny, and does anyone other than me think that Emma face sculpt looks like Snooki from Jersey Shore?

I'm pretty sure the colors will match.  JayC just grabbed pictures from different sources for his collages above.  But when Dan pulls out the in-package Wolverine and holds him up, it looks good to me.

[Outsiders]

Personally, I would have preferred to have each figure by themselves.  I only collect certain Marvel figures and I want the Gambit figure, but have no need for the Banshee or Psylocke.  Now I'm paying $79.99 for mainly one figure...

[tarot]

I do think it's expensive but 25 per figure is the standard now (as much as I hate it) and this is relatively cheap for what is an anniversary line. But at least they got this short-lived team out of the way.

As for Blob, they did mention he was part of the same subline as Mojo, Modok and Hydra Stomper and given his girt, I did expect him to be the same price. Expensive yes but the figure is miles better then the BAF.

I wonder if the previous Lilandra head would be compatible with their new body
