Theres other pictures where he has a flat hand and an open hand so he will have multiple hands for sure and the flat hand is obviously to do the hand stand pose. ;)
That sounds awesome. Most Beast figures look a little too naked for me. I'm sticking with the Tech Gear Beast from the X-Men Classics line from Toy Biz.

Amazing that we're getting a second Union Jack figure in the classic attire, and we still haven't gotten a Spitfire in any attire or the short-sleeved 90s Union Jack. These look good though. I wasn't reading Thunderbolts when Citizen Zemo or was around, but he looks like good custom fodder.

Zing! That wave was sooooo hard to get. Fortunately for me, I got the one I wanted, the Jean Grey. Anyway, I like the look of this Hawkeye. It might finally displace the Toybiz one in my collection.

Awesome! Thanks very much for sharing that link — I’m sure it’ll come in handy!
You're welcome! Best of luck with the stands!

Thanks for asking. It was something I started when my kids were really little, and I didn't want to explain to them about why I had figures of bad guys. My oldest especially is really, really sensitive. Now that they're older, it's more just a way to not have to buy everything.

Wow! I didn’t realize those were custom bases, at first. They look fantastic! And I love that they’re the ‘X’ logo. And your wife did an awesome job on the flight stand, for Angel. Especially seeing as he’s a winged character, you have to have him soaring above, like that. In the past, I’ve tried — and failed — using string, lol.
Thank you, thank you! The guy who made the bases seems to be out of business now, but they're really nice and solid. The link for how to make the flight stands is here: How to make action figure flight stands. We used chrome-colored wire hangers rather stripping down white ones. Metal stands have been good for me. More durable than plastic or string.

Thank you! My wife made Angel's flight stand, and the bases are custom. I technically still have the one you pictured here, but the kids play with it now. Great figure!

That’s a pretty good way to do it... I’m envious, lol. Most of the time, even when I find something discounted, it’s usually going to be something I really want. So, I don’t usually wind up with anything I’ll want to part with, later on. I’ve mostly gone through eBay and Amazon, for figure purchases. I tend to pick up a lot of anime related ‘prize’ figures, which usually cost about the same as market value Legends and Black Series figures. It’s the figures in the latter lines that skyrocket in price, when you haven’t preordered or caught them just after the initial release, that plagues me, most of the time. But alas, such is the life of a collector, lol.
Indeed! Best of luck!

I mainly collect MCU MLs so you can already tell how excited I am for this wave to come out.
This is the wave for you then!

That’s pretty cool... I’ve sadly missed out on a lot of the previous releases, between having to stringently alocate whatever funds I get to play with every month, toward one thing or another, or their just simply never showing up in my local stores. But, I love this Wasp design. The color and motif really stand out to me, for some reason. And this Ant-Man design is just all kinds of classic.
I hope you get to pick these up. Best of luck! I started my collection with a little seed money left over from the family budget. I watch for stuff on E-bay. When I find something under-priced, I pick it up and and either keep it or flip it for closer to market value. That way the collection more or less pays for itself.

I love him... Something about the head sculpt screams classic comic book style to me, while the look of the chair is giving me 90s X-Men cartoon vibes. The best of both worlds, lol.
Nice description! I like the Toybiz figure a bit better, but I might get this one for the chair.

I wonder how much that Kingpin figure weighs. It looks like a Toybiz-style BAF, and I mean that as a high compliment.

Hasbro is absolutely crushing it. They keep making the ToyBiz truthers look more and more stupid.
Toybiz was hit and miss. Because plastic was so much cheaper then, some of the things they did will never be duplicated at anything like Hasbro's current price points.

Nice. But...
I must be a terrible person because I couldn't care less about Gambit.
I agree, and thank you for not saying "could care less."

This is great coverage. Thanks for putting this information out for us.

I am still waiting on those Warriors Three Marvel Legends.
That would be tight. If this set came out, I might actually build an Asgardian wing for my collection.

Just had another thought. Cameron Hodge?
That would have been a freaky figure. Do you think we'll ever see one?

I really love the Ant-Man and Wasp figures... Especially seeing as they both come with miniature versions of each other! That’s cool.
I definitely agree. I'll probably pass on the Wasp figure, but I may get that Ant-Man. I have tiny and six-inch versions of Wasp in red and black, and a tiny Ant-Man and the BAF Giant-Man, but no six-inch Ant-Man.

Loving so many of these... Silver Sable, Gambit, Archangel, Hercules, Professor X, Scarlett Spider, that Miles and Gwen two-pack. I’m not really sold on the new Black Cat, though. I much prefer the former ML release.
What did you think of the Professor X?

I also like the Apocalypse accessory they added with Archangel.
That looks like an awesome figure. This is one of my favorite characters, but I prefer the original feather-winged version. I never got into the blue-and-pink-makes-me-look-tougher thing.

For the first time since this panel began, ZERO mention of any 3.75” in the works. I understand it has “been shelved” for awhile but to actually see nothing or hear no news saddens me. I now know what Buzz and Woody felt when Andy grew up..... left in the dark and forgotten.
That's got to be disappointing. Sorry that happened.

Is Hasbro Planning On Doing A 90's Comic Book Based Marvel Legends War Machine?
in Marvelous News's General Area
Posted
Any further word on this? I'd love a War Machine figure. I've always passed on it before, but now he's somehow my four-year-old daughter's favorite Avenger, so my collection looks a little incomplete without him.
