It's a simple reaction button on your every post. If somebody reacts to your post, you'd get a +1 rep. That's pretty much it. I guess posting things that people react to positively is the only way to gain it. But I don't think it should really be your purpose, just the conversation alone is mostly encouraging, even if you disagree1 point

The volume and quality of Marvel Legends being released right now and since about 2017 reminds me of how Hasbro treated G.I.Joe in 2008, after the success of the 25th Anniversary launch and onward to about 2010. There was so much product, so many exclusives, and so, so many of them were kitbashes or outlandish repaints. It choked even the biggest collectors (me), and left people wondering what did they really want...and, did they *really* want it? Though, I think the advantage to be seen from Marvel product being released this way is that it allows for fans to focus on different teams, character families, etc. With G.I.Joe the completionist mentality always seemed a lot stronger, at least from my prospective within the community. It seems like more people in the Marvel scene have less trouble saying "no" to obscure characters or character families they don't give a hoot about (for me, that's largely Spider-Man characters; #sorrynotsorry). In a weird way, it's sometimes relieving and fulfilling to walk into a store and see loads of Marvel characters that I don't want but I know that someone else does, because my wallet sighs some relief and I know a brand I love is thriving and my fellow collectors are (mostly) happy. With the exception of Gwen-Pool, I haven't seen many individual Marvel characters or waves completely choke up a toy aisle like G.I.Joe waves used to do, or like my beloved Black Series is doing right now. So, while I agree that there is A LOT coming out right now, I don't think it's altogether bad.1 point

To me it's the classic case of "be careful what you ask for". As long as I've been on these boards the general consensus has always been "more, more, more" and "enough is never enough". Well, therein lies the double edge sword. Hasbro gave us more, actually a lot more, more MCU Iron Man, More MCU Captain America, more MCU in general, more Wolverine, more Deadpool, more oddball crap like Caliban and Space Venom, and more recently Agent Anti-Venom and a buncha repaints and kit bash's no one ever asked for. Had enough yet? Not saying this is what everyone asked for but I would say that anyone arguing that this isn't what the overwhelming majority asked for would be on the losing side of that argument. As a completionist myself, I too am feeling the burn, but luckily I've narrowed my consumption to mostly comic related stuff (hoping DC will eventually get their 6" $#!+ together) and instead of getting it all I've adjusted my approach to only get what I need. New Quicksilver? Gotta have it. Cowboy Logan? Not so much. It is what it is my friend. I would much have it this way where I at least have the option to choose what to get due to too much product rather than feel like I have to buy EVERYTHING simply due to the lack or product and me just feeling like I have to scratch that itch.1 point

I think it's a given Classic Dr. Doom would fit this line perfectly , he's my number 1 choice, I mean I'd love to see Baron Mordo, Mephisto, Kang, Mandarin, Leader, Super Skrull and Annihilus , but those don't really count for what yer saying so my line up (using the format of figures we've already had released now being re-tooled) 1. Baron Zemo (honestly they can just basically re-release the Cap wave one) 2. Red Skull (Even more comic accurate please) 3. Ultron (to go with that head we got with vintage vision) 4. Green Goblin (it can even be a re-release of the recent one) 5. Hela (from the Vishanti Set) 6. Dread Knight (from Raft Set)1 point

I've never watched any movie in a cinema more than once. And so what if we don't want to see it again in the cinema, it doesn't make us any less of a fan.1 point

I would really love to see a classic Doctor Doom. The Infamous Iron Man figure looks cool and all, but I prefer a nice classic Doom.1 point

Yeah, if we're going with villains from the original X-Men toy lines, I'd like to see: Senyaka Spiral Exodus Sabretooth (80s Marauders costume) Pyro Black Tom Avalanche Ahab If we're going with Legends remakes: Spiral Lady Deathstrike Toad Pyro1 point

I always get the feeling that new figures in the Vintage Line with different cardbacks inspired by some of the other Toy Biz lines are imminent, and I'd be surprised to not see them sometime relatively soon.1 point

Oooh, now you've got me thinking/hoping for Vintage waves homaging the old Iron Man line. That'd be a great way to get a few of those comic Iron Man/War Machine figures that need updates out there (and as noted, a new Mandarin).1 point

Given the pattern, I doubt it'll be long before we see a Spider-Man themed vintage wave. In which case I think we'd have a pretty high likelihood of seeing Green Goblin, (Unfortunately) Venom, and maybe even a re-release for characters like Kraven, Chameleon or Mysterio. Obviously not all in one assortment but still. "General" Vintage waves seem like a place for Dr. Doom (though he's screaming for more of an update than just re-releasing the same Doom that's come out twice now). X-Men have a ton of options. Blob would be really nice to see again, though. Doubt they start regularly packing BAF-sized figures onto those cards, though. I'd note Silver Samurai DOES show that they're willing to do characters that don't already have Legends on these Vintage cards.1 point

If we're talking pure classic character, Then Dr. Doom is an absolute most. It is a shame that we don't have a new version yet. I would also like a new Mandarin. Maybe the suited body with new hands and hand. Green Goblin is a new head is also a good choice.1 point

Im assuming this will be world wide, if thats the case ill probably catch the movie again, I wanted to see it in theatres a second time but for some reason or other I didnt, Itll be good to see it again in the theatre and also help it get to #1 in the process.1 point

I liked Avatar. I thought it was a good movie but I am not sure why it did as well as it did. Didn't see it the theaters and I have seen every marvel movie on the big screen. End game deserves to beat it.1 point

The one thing I hate about not having the money for Marvel Legends when certain ones come out, the aftermarket prices. Iceman and especially Storm are going to be scalped really bad. I hope I can squeeze enough money out of the wallet to pick them up so I don't have to deal with that. I'd like to get more into Marvel Legends in general but they're killing me with all the releases. There's no breathing room. It's great for those who have the money or those who Legends are their main collection habit but not so much for the rest of us.1 point
