This is one of my favorite Captain America looks from the MCU, happy to see it getting some love.

FINALLY some Mafex NWH figures are on the horizon. Hopefully we see Andrew, the black and gold suit and the new suit eventually too.

it took over 14 years but another one of the old Prototypes have finally been made. Not much left only Bi-Beast and a proper Terror Inc

 

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw Lady Bullseye. I'm really surprised Bi-Beast still hasn't been made.

I bet Bi-Beast will be a BAF down the road, obivously updated from it's previous dark years prototype, Bi-Beast seems like an obvious choice for a BAF and can probably fit as one for various themed waves, Hulk, Thor, Avengers... he is def on Hasbro's radar since they were going to make him at some point, and he doesn't seem like a strong cadidate for a deluxe single release.

speaking of figures that never got made, allegedly Lilandra is going to get released next year in a Wolverine 2-pack for his anniversary, so more of the unmade stuff is coming down the pipeline, but this is just rumours. I'd really like to see them get to Terror Inc personally.

In for the whole knights wave and Justice/Power Princess

[tarot]

So... we can assume that Zarda, Vision and Justice are part of the next Avengers wave right? But where the hell will they put Crystar?

Maybe Crystar will be a solo release in some retro packaging

I hear you but I don't really see it as "extreme" scrutiny; either its done correctly and well, or its not.

They basically had it, 95% of the way there. But given that the belt is such a prominent feature of his classic outfit, AND that there are multiple examples of hasbo having the ability to similar belts (Baron Zemo, Puma, Yondu, even Drax), and they still blew it, that dropped it down drastically. Might they add it in time for production....probably not.  

Yes, I did note the paint up the forearm; they did that with the vintage Legends too. Putting him on an all-new buck was the best step forward. To your point of getting more comic based figures, I agree, and applaud such a move. They keep this up and we just might get a Killraven, fa Wonderman, Deadly Nightshade, and Red Wolf yet!

I just gotta continue to say how pleased I am to see Crystar, might be my fav thing Hasbro has shown at SDCC, I just can't beleive they gave us a Crystar, it's like a fever dream, for 1 I always wished they'd re-do Crystar figures and to plug him into the Marvel Legends line is so weird and wild, I love it, things like that make me really gush about the people over at the Legends stable, sometimes they really kick it to the Fans, this was one of those times, shout out to Randy from NECA for nudging these guys to do this one, Can Rom be in the future or Micronauts! 🤔 How about Brute Force!

[tarot]

we're not done yet.

🥹Ooooh!

hope you were right Tarot, with the Iron Man display, Iron Man Retro wave.

but even better which is a longshot Ghost Rider Retro wave, with Werewolf By Night in it. 🥺

Shown below is the new Hasbro Marvel Legends Shield Female Army Builder Figure alongside Detroit Steel and Female Hydra Agent figures. This has been confirmed to be the new army builder figure and will come with multiple heads.

[Lord_Scareglow]

Oh sweet, Shield female, nice, I do hope this is a two pack with Hydra female & Shield, that would be excellent, sign me up for that !

[Reno]

I'm definitely in for female Hydra and SHIELD army builder figures!

[Psychosomatic]

Glad to see the Female Army Builders!  Been suggesting it forever, but I'll say it again - with Hellfire Goons, Hydra Agents, Shield Agents, Hand, Aim, and Skrulls, a deluxe Army Builder Boxed Set is a no-brainer!

I think the update looks really great, but I agree that getting things that close and not taking it all the way to perfect is just baffling. Honestly, how does that happen?!

Perhaps they're finally listening to you! I totally agree, no-brainer for these. But I'll go a step further...there needs to be appropriate holsters and sheathes with weapons. Their GI Joe line gets it, so shouldn't be too hard.

Man I LOVE the red on that helmet visor. Almost looks like glass.

Yeah, like Transformers got an army builder set only a month ago, so why not Marvel Legends 

[leokearon]

I'm hoping the ladies will be in a two pack against each other.

[tarot]

Ironically both the Army builders are using the same build. I have been hearing it will be a 3-pack so maybe AIM will join them?

That's a great step further on the holsters, sheathes and weapons! The GI Joe line has a lot of great detail I would like to see used with Marvel Legends.

Dwight gave a hint that there is another character on this cover coming soon. Given that we have gotten all the X-men in Yellow and Blue, Magneto and Gladiator (though he could get a remake on the Hercules build) that leave Savage Land Rogue (extremely doubtful because well come on), Prof X, Zaladane, Deathbird and the one that was leaked Lilandra

 

[Inspection12e]

Cmon Deathbird!
