Wonder if this figure was sculpted by the same person who did the MK 50 Iron Man, it has the similar "stocky torso, lanky arms" propotions. That aside, I gotta give credit to Diamond Select for their continuous inventiveness when it comes to accessories. Although the execution could be better, this is the first Spider-Man figure I can think of to have a plug-in spider-sense effect. Diamond Select were also similarly the first to make a spinning hammer effect for Thor.

Avengers Campus 1/6th scale Spider-Man Figure From Hot Toys
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Funnily enough, it's the other way round. This suit originated from the theme park and it was then repurposed for What If? -
Honestly, one of the things I'm hoping to out of this run is that Marvel finally gets this idea of making Tony low-tech and low-profile out of their system. Then we can get the return of the Tony Stark who used to build satellite research stations and utopic cities and fully-immersive VR landscapes.

I'm not sold on this armor. I understand the desire to make Ironheart look less like Iron Man in the comics, since they co-exist, but here in the MCU, Riri is going to be carrying the mantle. I'm not saying that Riri should have the exact same design language as Iron Man, but that doesn't meant it should go to the other end of the spectrum. This design looks more related to Radiant Red than it does to Iron Man.

Holy molly. Is ZD Toys gonna start making comic-based figures?

Hasbro Marvel Legends Live-Stream For August 10 Coverage
ADour replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
God, I'd love that. A brand-new pinless MK 50 with a myriad of nano-accessories. It'd be a perfect deluxe release. -
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.
