Hasbro Marvel Legends Live-Stream For August 10 Coverage
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I realized there was something smart the Legends team could have done for Zombie Iron Man. Since the original MK 50 helmet was very badly designed, they could not have left Zombie Iron Man's neck exposed in the new upper torso, and they could also have designed new helmeted MK 50 head. That way, collectors could have used this figure's helmeted head to upgrade their previous MK 50. -
Hasbro Marvel Legends Live-Stream For August 10 Coverage
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
It stings a little bit that this is the best the MK 50 has looked in terms of base red color. And it also stings a little bit that this is the only Iron Man reveal between SDCC and this livestream combined. At least my wallet is happy about that fact. -
First Look At The MCU Ironheart Armor?!? - Spoilers -
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I was hoping this show was going to give the MCU the opportunity to adapt more Iron Man baddies, instead we're getting one of Bendis' pet characters. I mean, I don't hate The Hood, and I know Zeke Stane is going to be in it, but I wish we had more Iron Man villains instead. That being said, the armor looks great, it's a nice adaptation of Riri's Model 1 suit. -
Why is Hasbro billing the Everett Ross figure as part of the Legacy Collection for the first movie when he's also in this one? It's also interesting that they're shoving a Legacy Collection figure in the middle of a new-movie wave. I wonder if this will be common practise. Wouldn't surprise me if they do it to keep costs down but also have more movie-based figures.

Also found this image floating around of their MK 50. I'm stoked for it since its red looked a bit orangey in the promo pics, but here it looks like the appropriate shiny candy apply red.

I didn't expect MAFEX to make a battle damaged MK 85 considering their standard MK 85 came with two Infinity Stones-wielding hands. That being said, I'm glad they're making it, and I won't hesitate to pre-order it. Since I'm also getting the MAFEX Rescue, I didn't know whether to pose my MK 85 in battle with her, or to have it doing the snap. I contemplated getting a second copy, but I quickly decided it was too expensive. This release solves this issue. It also looks a hundred times better than Figuarts' version, and has sculpted battle damage in more parts than just the upper torso and shoulders.

The Ideal Legends Comic Spiderman
ADour replied to Emnems80's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
My ideal Spider-Man would be a middle point between Renew Your Vows Spidey and Amazing Friends Spidey. As tall as RYV Spidey, with its headsculpt and color palette, but with the muscle definition of AF Spidey and its neck disc hinge. But for the time being, I'm going to stick to RYV Spidey. -
New Marvel Select Beta Ray Bill Figure Revealed?!?
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
This checks out with the tidbits Zach Oat shared on The Fwoosh forums, with the Thor-related figure that isn't a Thor, and the Disney Store repaint. Gotta say, pretty interesting design choice for Beta Ray Bill, I'd assume they would go with classic Beta Ray Bill instead of his most recent costume. I don't care for it, but it looks fantastic. On the other hand... that Miles figure... it's not pretty. Even though it's badly posed, its sculpt and proportions don't look good. This is a shame considering DST's Spectacular Spider-Man was on its own level. Cool Spider-Ham statuette though. -
Ms. Marvel's New Look For The Marvels Revealed? - Spoilers -
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Really hope that new costume is only temporary. There was no need to change it. -
I have to say, I'm not entirely sold on this 3-pack. Holland Spidey should have been upgraded further. The Integrated Suit as it appears in the movie doesn't have the web-shooter bracelets, and the belt should end at a point. I think it's funny that Ryan said something along the lines of ensuring that they looked just like they did in the film, yet the Integrated Suit is still relegated to concept art look. That being said, I had to pull the trigger on these figures. Although it's very likely that they will be re-released in some capacitt, I don't want to take it for granted. And if anything, I could always re-sell them if something better comes out later down the line. I just hope the webline accessories aren't those old ones that keep reusing and reusing, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hasbro Officially Announces 6" Selfie Series
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Step 1) Get spare suited bodies Step 2) Find look-alikes of William Hurt, Sam Rockwell, Guy Pearce, Robert Redford, etc. Step 3) Bribe them to get figures of themselves made Step 4) Profit -
I think all of these hologram Iron Men are meant to mimic the holograms that Tony uses in his workshop to tinker with his armor's schematics (not that they're doing a good job at that here). The dynamic poses don't really fit that angle, but I guess they gotta showcase the figure some way. As for an actual practical use of an Iron Man hologram in battle, Tony has been shown projecting holograms of himself for crowd control.

IN HAND Images of MAFEX Infinity War Iron Man Mark-85
ADour replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I'm a tad bit bummed about the scale, I was hoping it would stand as tall as their MK 45, which would be perfect for Marvel Legends. Still, it's not a complete deal-breaker since in some of the comparion photos it seems to be taller than the Figuarts version (and it's definitely better proportioned). Plus, sometimes Hasbro's Iron Men seem a bit overly big, so I hope that's a factor into play. This figure also has very organic drop-down hips, so I imagine that dropping the hips just a bit will help it blend in with Legends. That being said, everything else about the figure looks fantastic. I can't wait to get it. -
Titan Hero Series Moon Knight Figure From Hasbro
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
While I'm also not a fan of Titan Hero Series, these are for kids and they seem to be selling well. And who knows, maybe for some of these younger Marvel fans, it's the first stage into the Marvel Legends pipeline. (That being said, I do feel like 6" basic figures are better pre-ML toys and I wish Hasbro would invest in them)
