What if Hasbro lost the license?
belmont13 replied to DarthOdette's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
I would most probably pass, one of the reasons I didn't get into the Marvel Universe line was that I wasn't interested in buying figures of characters I already owned in another scale, same thing happened with Black Series after collecting Star Wars since the Power of the Force days. As it is, I'm currently looking at my collection I have and asking myself do I need a figure of that character? If they made a figure of a character that I don't already own and want or a specific version that I would like that Hasbro didn't get around to making then maybe but even then I would have to see how they turn out. If Hasbro stopped making Marvel Legends, it would suck for me since there's little to nothing out there that interest me; DC can't seem to commit to a line or scale before restarting and releasing the same characters again, Black series is decent but again not looking to restart my Star Wars collection in another scale, Lightning collection looks really good but I'm only knowledgeable in MMPR and even then not that much, as of right now there's not a property being made into action figures out there that I feel so passionately about that I would commit to a line. -
Marvel Legends Sightings and Hauls thread

My wife went scouting for me and sent me a picture of that display. The pegs had labels for 80th anniversary and X-men retro but were empty. Looks like they finally found those Binary figures in their warehouse and are putting them out now. -
I'm starting to like this wave more and more, Shang Chi is my top want(finally!), followed by Vulture. I like the looks of the Spidey Variants some cool designs there. White Rabbit is the kind of obscure, silly thing that I like to get in Marvel Legends even if I haven't read that many stories with the character. The moment I saw the first image of Superior Octopus I know he would make a cool looking figure and here we are, he's going with my Hydra figures. I'm curious as to who the BAF will be but so far this wave is not half bad for me.

Marvel Legends Sightings and Hauls thread

I got my vintage Storm, Iceman and Silver Samurai delivered from Amazon last Thursday and I got my Prof. X with hoverchair from Hasbro Pulse on Monday so it's been a good week. I preordered the 80th Anniversary Cap from Walmart's website so I'm hoping that gets delivered soon. -
In Daisy's defense, in the comics she either wears a standard SHIELD uniform with the gaunlets or something similar like her debut outfit in Secret War. That said, I do wish they would have Chloe Bennet wear something different, more singular that doesn't come across as her raiding Black Widow's closet. They did all right with Mockingbird's outfit where it looked similar to her modern outfit but still fit in the universe they created, I kind of want something like that for Daisy on the show. As for the other shows Luke Cage always wears street clothes in the comics, even his first appearance didn't look much like a superhero outfit just a shirt and pants, the only exception being Secret War. Jessica Jones was introduced in civilian clothes in the comics and her superhero outfits were shown mostly in flashbacks and that time in the New Avengers annual where all of the super ladies band together to rescue Clint Barton. Daredevil got an outfit, eventually, not everyone liked it but at least he wore one, of course they ditched that in Season 3, unfortunately. Then there was Iron Fist, who couldn't bother to wear an outfit in the span of 2 seasons and Defenders despite having the most to lose considering he's the owner of a big corporation. Seriously, you are the owner of a multi billion dollar company and can provide Misty with a cutting edge prosthetic but can't make an otufit to protect your identity? Runaways don't really wear outfits and Cloak and Dagger, well that show has problems beyond the lack of outfits. I do agree that it's frustrating that most of these shows seem to not want to embrace the more comic book aspects of the characters they are adapting. I understand that not everything works but I'm sure they are some compromises they can reach.

I haven't even seen the first one, I hear it is pretty good all things considered it's just me personally I don't find Eddie Brock all that interesting without the Spider-Man connection. I'm curious to see what Andy Serkins can bring to the movie. As for Cletus Kassidy would have preferred Cameron Monaghan in the role but I'm sure Woody Harrelson will do well.

Gemma Chan In Talks To Join Marvel's 'The Eternals'
belmont13 replied to Outsiders's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I too, am wondering if she's gonna reprise her role from Captain Marvel or play a different character. I hope she reprises her role as I liked her in the movie and was looking forward to her becoming an antagonist in a future installment. I know very little about the Eternals and I'm still scratching my head as the fact they are getting a movie but so far it has a solid cast and I'm curious about how the final product turns out. -
I could see this working and She Hulk comics were for the most part PG enough(unless that changed) that could be adapted into a series for a "family friendly" network like ABC. Daredevil left me wanting more court room drama in my superhero shows. If they can get Mark Ruffalo to cameo it wouldn't hurt either.

Agents of SHIELD started meh but then got really good and only seemed to improve as it went on, last season was iffy with the space stuff but it was still a decent watch at worst. They could have ended the series last season and I would have been ok, this season is not particularly interesting and even characters that I found interesting are boring me. As for this project, it has potential, depending on the character and the writing/plot but I'm worried that ABC just read female centric Marvel series and jumped in without knowing what it was about, they did try to cancel Agents of SHIELD a few years back but Disney would not let them and then there's the Marvel Most Wanted debacle.
