Holy cow. I just checked page 1. That is a very thorough list. Thanks for putting it together. So many interesting opportunities. I liked the villains teams too. For some reason I like the geriatric Brotherhood members from the 200's of Uncanny. Can you imagine if they made a three-pack of them? They'd probably be shelf-warmers if they made more than ten, but I'd buy them!

Costume Poll 7: Scarlet Witch
Chunkylover replied to leokearon's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
I was never interested in the Avengers until post Heroes Reborn. I would maybe be interested in more of the George Perez characters so I went with Transian. I like the Crossing, Transian, and Force Works looks because they are different. I'm not familiar or sympathetic enough to the character to notice the minor details separating most of her styles. As it is, I only have the Toy-Biz Scarlet Witch, and her hair fell off the head and doesn't sit right, and I'm content to stick with her even after seeing the three-pack version. -
Will there be more waves for comic specific events
Chunkylover replied to Pan's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Same here. It means money saved though. I wonder if aiming for hard core fans would benefit sales though. I bet that AoA wave sold really well for a comic based wave. -
Make a Comic Story Theme Wave
Chunkylover replied to leokearon's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
That's a great way to get some of those figures that have been in demand for a long time. I think I'd like one more Marauder in there. -
Well, they are not that good by today's standard, but maybe they were in their own context. I don't personally find the goofy bell bottom boots that most Marvel heroes had back in the day to have aged well. I think Strong Guy was intentionally goofy. His presence compliments the "cool" guys like Iron Man or Spiderman. They did explain his proportions as a result of his mutation. With that said, I never noticed the diaper.... Thanks.

Toybiz: Nostalgia or actually good figures?
Chunkylover replied to Dabboi's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
I happily display my Toy-Biz with my Hasbro, and I happily display my Hasbro with my Toy-Biz. I don't hate on either one. I think, in my display, they complement each other. Some of the TB articulation has gotten loose, but I expect that will happen over time with any plastic toy. It really is a fun time to collect. I don't think it's nostalgia for me. Nostalgia comes in to deciding to purchase or pass on certain figures and chase the BAF part on the secondary market. In the TB years I bought everything. Now I stick to X-Men, and even those are limited to before the Grant Morrison reboot, -

I'll only get them if they have comic-accurate teeth and feet.... -

Yes! And Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel, Titania, Volcana, Beyonder Doom. Have they done that version of Wasp? -

Heroes Reborn could be interesting. The Iron Man Armor has already been done and I'm sure would be popular. Hawkeye looks kind of cool. -
Repaints/retools that are worse than the originals
Chunkylover replied to Hogun's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Meh. He has that big rocket, and his hands fit in the handles for it, while still being posable for a repulsor ray blast. I'm just saying I'm happy with him and feel no need to replace him. If you want to talk about someone with too-long arms, the Toy-biz Juggernaut is waiting for you in his office.... -

I like the TB silver centurion. The arms are a little weird I suppose. I don't think it's terrible. -

Awwww, I like the Love Triangle Cyclops and Wolverine. -
Ideal Age of Apocalypse Wave 2
Chunkylover replied to tarot's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
You might be right about Magneto. I know there are subtle differences between his AoA and normal outfit, but the most notable one is the helmet and hair. I'd love that two-pack. I really liked that Rogue. I agree that I wouldn't want a Legion figure at this point. There are still some very important figures to do before him. He really should be released in a regular wave anyway.
