Custom Marvel Legends Deadpool as Bob Ross
Chunkylover replied to CRobTheCreator's topic in Marvelous Customs
That's great. A Deadpool variant worth the plastic. Good work! -
Oh, for sure. Age of Apocalypse Sabertooth for example. I am very happy when the Toybiz version is “good enough” to help me save money, though.

A Case For Rounded Waist Swivel in ML
Chunkylover replied to SpiderS's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
I don’t get the hate for ball joints. I remember as a kid collecting the five inch figures, ball joints were the best. I will grant that not all of the Toybiz figures had perfectly proportioned shoulder or hip ball joints, but neither were they all terrible. Hasbro has definitely made some improvements, though. No hate for the current products. -
Sweet. You have a lot of older figures. It’s fun to compare the 90’s Toy Biz figures to the new ones. They had some good figures, and so many.
-
Are you going to update that with the new Firestar? Checking out the background... sweet Ghostbusters building. You've got an older collection. Do you have a scene set up in front of the fire station? I see the Toybiz Iceman in front.

Yeah, I expected my "hot-take" to be not-so-hot after all. Hasbro has made a lot of new figures, and they can still redo some of the Toy-Biz figures. There are some of their own figures from the early days that need improvement. I mostly wonder what will happen to the industry after my generation calls it quits. We were so into toys in a way that kids today... are into TikTok? My new hot-take: Hasbro will pivot to creating figures of TikTok stars of yesterday and today!

In a few years Hasbro Legends will be primarily related to cinema rather than directly to the comics. I think we are in a moment in which people who grew up with action figures as kids are the primary purchasers: not kids, not present day comic readers. When the next generation pops up they will be rooted in Netflix and Marvel studios.

I knew Magneto should have more read on him. I didn't realize he had too much. Iceman does look too blue. It is a miss. I still think it looks cool.

I see. Too bad. I really like that version. It looks like artists differed on his boot color, some yellow some blue/black. They definitely should be boots, though. Oh well. They had to cut costs somewhere. Rictor's hair is really well done. I had the 90's version as a kid and the upper body, head, and hair were all one molded piece. It was so bad.

Really? I haven't gotten Cyclops yet. What is his problem? I was looking forward to getting him. I just picked up Sabertooth and he's pretty cool.

Unpopular Opinions Figure edition
Chunkylover replied to Dabboi's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Maybe. I saw someone mention the dramatic inferiority of the TB figs the other day. I kept my AoA Weapon X and sold the Hasbro one, but I will probably keep the Hasbro Sabertooth and burn the TB one with fire. I even sold the BAF Sugarman because, while it's articulation is not even close to Hasbro's, I like the OG TB Sugarman. -

Chunkylover replied to Dabboi's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Toy-biz figures fit well with modern Hasbro figures. I acknowledge they aren't perfect, but there are plenty of gripes about Hasbro's figures, too. -
Roy Thomas Kicks Off A New Era Of X-Men Legends
Chunkylover replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
This sounds interesting. The first cover is fun. It's nice to see all those random eras and characters mashed together. Edit: It was the first cover I saw, but it is the third cover in the first post. -
I meant Sunspot.
-
Yeah. I'm happy with what they have released, and agree they could include future characters in regular waves since some of those characters are in the main continuity. I think it would get harder to not want more if they kept doing more. If they did Gambit, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Exodus, they will would have started three new teams. How could fans not also want Sunfire, Switchback, and Dazzler. If we get them, how could we not also NEED Madri and Infinites? At some point that train will have to sail and maybe earlier is better? Or maybe they could do two- or three-packs in the future. They seem to like doing those.

This is the buck that keeps on giving! Granted, it isn’t a perfect Joseph, but it works for now. For a figure from Hasbro’s dark ages, it pretty versatile.
