  1. Please don't try to sub in Dr. Doom!! NO. That'll go over about as well as trying to sub the Inhumans for mutants. Look how well THAT went over. I don't see why they can't just recast Kang. If he's dropped now, then whatever contract/agreement he had should be null and void. This could give them a chance to really think about what kind of story they're doing. Also, future movies (see what I did there) don't have to explain why the new actor looks different. Just take the time (HA) and do the story.
  2. Ok but I can't see how re-issuing the same figures is appealing either; from some of the comments here the consumers certainly don't seem to be into it. All I'm saying is if the MCU isn't available, hasbo still has a wide collection (80 years worth) of Marvel characters to make figures from.
  3. yeah youre right I forgot about the mask, he wore that when he was doing his solo thing before the X-Men. Good catch. Thing is, I like red, its my favorite color, but in that outfit it just looked wrong.
  4. I never like to predict what these guys will/won't do ( I mean who saw that Armpit For Hire coming) but were I you, I'd hold off painting anything 'cause its pretty safe bet they will probably do the yellow gloves/boots fairly soon after this one hits.
  5. A hideous mess to be sure, but not as bad as the shockingly horrid thing he wore briefly later....
  6. LOL not even wings. "Wing". One solid piece of plastic that fit in the back, poorly. And they've regularly messed up Ice Man but yes this was the worst ever done. Its all a rush job, looks like they got a bunch of kids to make them. But....fans bought it anyway. And that, friends, is all hasbo cares about. if you want better your wallet needs to say so. As you said earlier though with these upcoming wings, they can re-do the set. Could really be great if they put their minds to it.
  7. Instead of trying to pacify MCU collectors with the same already released figures, they should just let that go. The hasbo team knew (and certainly so did the fans) that the movie properties were going to get pushed back, so there should have been a contingency already in place. Just an idea, how about improving and re-issuing some figures that got butchered, or what about filling up some of these teams? For example when they did the Excalibur box set, they said Rachel Phoenix wasn't included "because they didn't have time". That was 2, 3 years ago. They could make her, Marinna, the rest of the Guardians and Starjammers for that matter, and have them ready to go for issues like this. There's a comic filler wave for ya.
  8. An embarrassment. I personally could never let that out of my factory. Now they have the true chance to redeem themselves.
  9. Yeah I agree, that "inflation" argument is just an excuse. Well were kids ever buying Legends before COVID....I doubt there were significant numbers. Pretty much the people buying then, were the ones buying before. In the past few decades hasbo and others have targeted adults (because what kid or what kid's mom is gonna pony up $20.00 on the regular for these things), and focused on adults' nostalgia so much so that kids just aren't the primary consumer for them. Even the toy reviewer sites blatantly scream "for adults" as a disclaimer. But hasbo doesn't make toys, they leverage toy/ game based IPs. They got the best IPs around. Marvel, Star Wars, GI Joe.....should be a license to print money. But they don't put any care into what they have. At any rate, the poor distribution, bad decisions and over pricing have gotten to where they can't be ignored any longer.
  10. I can't see them not doing the original darkblue outfit....at least for that one, the boots won't need to be painted on.
  11. Just as an aside, with that flame reveal being called "otherworldly" its likely not the OG Human Torch (although I WISH) or Rachel Phoenix (WAY overdue). Mephisto comes to mind...but also Son of Satan. OR maybe something like Nova (Frankie Ray)? Not seeing Nikki from Guardians using that peg...
  12. Yep, again,or STILL...they make some pretty odd and even self-defeating choices. For example, the Logan/Sabertooth 2 pack: they're definitely gonna re-use that Logan (maybe print the shirt in plaid or something), so even if you're a die-hard fan, you can wait on that one. And Sabertooth basically has been seen before...bigger size now, but yeah. Still never got a first appearance Sabertooth, here's where they could have done that. Angel is a strong enough and unique enough figure to stand (see what I did there) on its own, so I can't imagine they'll pair it another. Although, who knows. If they've got enough stinkers like Darwin left lying around they wanna get rid of, they might pull something like that.
  13. One issue I see with Red Widow is that her cape, unless its a very soft plastic, will hinder her arm articulation. Here's where a soft goods use would come in handy. Very glad that they're bringing her on board.
  14. Fingers crossed that it won't be too unreasonable. I've cut WAY back on Legends and one of the reasons is that they're priced too high for what you get. For the Angel, my "no sale, walk away" point was going to be how well (or poorly) the wings were executed. I noticed that Cap-Falc's wings are articulated as well. Nice. But since I already have custom wings for him, this one needs to have a reasonable price point if I'm gonna pick him up.
