Thanks for continuing to do this. It was a welcome surprise this morning!

I definitely will. More figures for MCU shelves is never a bad thing and he'd round out the Civil War display nicely.

At least some of him is.

The idea of giving all female Marvel Legends figures is insane! Just consider how flimsy many of the Female Legends legs are now. Why would you want to replicate that in the arms? Before double jointed elbows are considered I would suggest a more important change would be increasing the overall sturdiness of the plastics used on the ML ladies. I mean half of them can barely even stand on there own... Not to mention the fact that the single jointed elbows just look soooooo much better. Why ruin a good sculpt just to add a few extra millimeters of elbow range?

I prefer how the Black series does it, Single joint but with better range.

Biggest gripe is exclusives. It makes no sense that Hasbro can't get this correct, even after years of piss poor performance and consumer outrage. There is nothing enjoyable about going to an "exclusive" vendor and finding that they sold out in nanoseconds, or that they received like one figure, or they never got the figures at all. Female figures have come a LONG way in the face dept; the improvements are miles ahead of what was offered even 5 years ago. Still, the female figures lack diversity- you wouldn't put Captain America on a Spider-Man buck so why put the Black Widow on Kate Bishop?? There's no reason why they cant have double elbows and calf rotation, and they absolutely need to look like the comic characters they're supposed to be. Teams/waves aren't completed. How did we get Major Vance Astro but none of the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy? Why haven't we seen Triton, Karnak, Gorgon and Lockjaw to go along with Black Bolt and Medusa to close out the Inhumans? Classic Defenders aren't complete, and whatever happened to the Starjammers? Blatant inaccuracies. No wings on FalconCap, no metal-look paint on Iron Man armor, coloring Omega Sentinel white instead of brown as she's from India, totally wrong scale for some figures, making female figures look like teen girls, shoddy paint jobs (too often seen on boots).

After reading the headline I was fixing to be all upset that an anticipated comic-based figure was going to be the build-a-figure for an MCU wave, but now, having seen him, I'm not so hot for that Mr. Hyde. He looks really well done, but it's not the design I was hoping for. I'll give it a year or two to see if he gets a deluxe release with a more classical look. If not, I can see snagging a completed one once the heat dies down on him. Anxious to see what else Hasbro has up their sleeve next Friday.

I think we always just must remember how amazing and generous it is that JayC and crew, and BBTS, hook us up with this!
