If they had only included the red head sculpt this wouldve been fine. To add a head that doesnt reflect the correct skin tone is ridiculous. I agree with Nessex that representation matters, but also ACCURACY matters. Its baffling how they could have made this kind of mistake....so much so, that its hard to believe that it was a mistake. Outside of the Magneto figure, I'm pretty much passing on this wave....but again if they hadn't done this with the figure, I would have purchased it. -
MarvelousNews Photo Of The Day - "Assemble" By Darth Primus
Atlantis replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Looks sweet, but it would've been even better with the red/white Falcon soaring overhead. I love that figure, you can get him to so many flight poses! Makes me look forward to Classic Falcon, plus we definitely need a classic Luke Cage Power Man! And when are we gonna get the Blue Marvel?? C'mon Legends team! -
Costume Poll 7: Scarlet Witch
Atlantis replied to leokearon's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Classic all the way. The only other alt outfit for her that I like was the "goth" look she had for X-Men Evolutions animated series. But nothing says "Wanda" to me like her classic outfit. -
Good characters with figures with terrible execution
Atlantis replied to Hogun's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Wow, good one, I totally forgot about it. The only thing other than the outfit colors that they got right was the (excellent) head sculpt. Painting on the chain mail scales, giving him that buffed-out buck, not giving effects and maybe a more sinister head....all of these led to a major let down. -
bLAH. MEH. All the "news" coming out about this movie seems so.....anyway, I'm not all that interested. Z needs to eat a sandwich.

No sign of this in any of my local walgreens. Alaska's right next door to Canada and they got theirs so whats up!!

Thanks, now I can see it!

Hands down, Silver Centurion. The armor was markedly wider, bulkier than his classic red/golden suit and the figure should have had bigger shoulder pads to reflect this. It should also have had a calf swivel, but that's a minor issue. More importantly: no metallic paint. This alone would have made up for many of the other execution flaws for the figure. Sheer foolishness. Then there's the back pack. The SC armor had a distinctive, angular back pack that for some bizarre reason, was replaced for some rectangular thing that looked like it fell off some generic piece of factory junk. -
Is everyone sure that's the excalibur sword? It couldn't be the Black Knight's ebony sword?

New WandaVision News And Discussion

Highly doubt they could afford Pacino. But we still should get a Mephisto Legends figure. -
Grand! Wish the Legends boys would start on some of that Golden Age goodness.

TBH Mockingbird was meh for me (surprisingly I loved the modern outfit with the goggles they did a while back). Too much of a Black Canary rip- off and to add insult to injury, they paired her with Green Arrow Hawkeye to boot?? But that costume does hit the nostalgic bell for many collectors. It needs to be done. AND we also need to see Wonder Man in his red safari jacket, along with his full ionic form, and the original green and red outfit. Sorry but the one they did for the abomination wave just didn't cut it for me. AND! Since we're basically talking Avengers West Coast, we HAVE

Wait, what?? You like Swordsman but not Mantis? What is wrong with you? 🙂 Actually my concern is that they would put the both of them on totally wrong bucks. But if I can't get them in their correct outfits and body builds, it would all be a waste.

What I don't like about the Swordsman is that he just was never Avengers material. I really believe he was put on the team just to have him killed off, which frankly wasn't a bad idea (killing him wasnt bad, ever making him an Avenger was). While I've stated before that I want the 70s line-up roster, I wouldnt buy Swordsman and would feel quite content. Mantis, yes, Moondragon, yes. Swordsman....just die already. Loser.

I have to wonder why they seem so reluctant to use metallic-look paint on Iron Man. They did it for Daredevil's armored outfit, for a number of others....Yes we did get it for the 80yrs version but for Iron Man, this should be standard.
