Just noting your keen eye at pointing out the differences between the classic versions and what Hasbro actually made. Just as an aside, I never liked the effect they used for the Shocker....his powers didn't manifest like that. But, I guess they felt they had to go with something. -
I hear what youre saying. This is actually in line with the discussion on the topic of the Legends figure of Black Widow and how her proportions/build was smaller and less curvier than actress. Some felt we were objectifying, and I do see where that has happened in many other cases, but here I disagree. Bottom line, whatever youre portraying, should reflect the source matter when at all possible. Sadly that's not always done and more often than not, one doesn't even begin to resemble the other. The Dolph Lundgren Punisher movie was almost completely removed from the comic character. The CW Superman on Supergirl's show looks like cosplay. Then there's that joke over on Agents of Shield that was supposed to be Deathlok?? And please don't get me started on the idiotic choice of casting puny Finn Jones as the Living Weapon, Iron Fist. This guy never even heard of a gym. Nevertheless, we don't know yet what kind of USAgent this will be or what his power set is. So we could be pleasantly surprised with the final result....stay tuned.

OK....maybe this will bring it back around...Hercules did once date... the Black Widow.
-
Ah, but Hercules went beardless before, back in the 60s for a time. And its true, he really doesn't look like Marvel's version without it! Though I always wondered why they chose an orange & green motif for him....not traditionally associated with Greek colours….

Yes, the jacket did work for a few characters. I liked it on the X-Men's Rogue, and didn't mind it (TOO much) on Cyclops, but outside of certain missions for, say, the Fantastic Four, I couldn't see the point. And while he didn't have them, the ammo packs all these guys started wearing made NO sense since most of them didn't even have guns! I did like the cape-less Black Knight updated outfit that came out sometime after they stopped showing him wearing the jacket. And there was a pretty decent Legends figure done with that version as well. What did you think about that?
-
What in Hala possessed these people to make this trend of pouches/ammo packs and bomber jackets during the 90s plague? BWHAHAHAHA!
-
Yes, odd that we haven't seen the comic book Yelena yet. I hope if they ever do, they'll make her face look like this. Distinctive, nice hint of cruelty.

RUMOR: New Marvel Legends X-Men Wave coming in May
Atlantis replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Still waiting on that Hellfire Club wave.....hopefully get the REAL Emma Frost then -
Yeah that idiotic seam is a NO SALE for me. I hated that thing so much I left it in the box and just took the cycle for other figures to use ( goes nice with "vintage" Widow and Miles Spider-Man). Those accessories are cool but its not like we'll never see them again. Frankly I'm irritated that Hasbro would have ever allowed that to go to production.
-
Never cared for the grey suit. Was that Miller that came up with it? I know oftimes the black on the Black Widow came out as blue, but not sure what the point of the grey suit was. Grey Widow doesn't have the same impact. Didn't mind the short hairstyle. Depending on how hard it is to find this outside of walfart, I'll give it a shot....
-
Yeah. Its like Hasbro doesn't care how much they fumble it for the consumer. Please PLEASE tell me that white suit Widow isn't the same thing from the rider set that had that ridiculous seam going down her neck to the navel....
-
Ugh, another idiot move to use walblart as an exclusive outlet. Its already gone of course. Maybe it'll be back later. As to the figures themselves, they look good and its nice to see Hasbro upping their "effects" game. White Natasha's got a sling to her weapon now and dig the smoke effects! I never cared for the "grey" Widow but its a nice figure.
-
Right. I don't remember anyone having a problem with Bucky replacing Cap (don't get me started on how many Captain America's there were before the ridiculous Sam controversy- even the Red Skull bodysnatched Cap for a time), or the blonde Black Widow, the Crimson Dynamo, Union Jack, Red Hulks, need I go on. There's nothing in this announcement that says Jack Russell terrier is being wiped out in favor of this new guy. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they end up having both werewolves cross paths.
