Always enjoy your perspective, so here is a question: what do you think would happen to the legends line if they completed the teams? I think Hasbro knows this is what keeps us connected to the hobby - if we had completed teams we were happy with, would we collect new versions of characters, or be as engaged? I would (I will always replace a figure with a better version/costume/buck), but I wonder if Hasbro fears people would stop collecting if they got all the specific teams they wanted. Thoughts?
-
I still feel like Hasbro gets more right than they get wrong, but I agree there are some weird things they have gotten wrong that would have been easy to get right had they just been been more respectful of the needs of their base. I only have about 25 characters that are absolute must-haves, so walking away from the hobby would not be too hard to do. Sad to have to think about that though (been collecting for 25 years now).

Well put! I would prefer targeted waves (I loved getting two waves of AOA, and I think the upcoming X-Men 3 packs are a great idea), but I would also love welcome mixed waves as long as they keep MCU and Comic separate, and they focus the Comic waves on completing multiple teams (X-Force, New Mutants, Alpha Flight, Excalibur, Reavers, Starjammers, Marauders, Gen X) . I think Ch'od is actually a solid release (happy to get him as a BAF, but would have bought him as a single packed figure too). The reality is no matter what Hasbro does, we will always see what they could have done better or differently, because we are all so particular about our own collections.

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Legends Figures For 2022
Psychosomatic replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Yeah, Ronan is my most anticipated figure of 2023 too, followed by Blob! I forgot about the Excalibur set (I have a connection in the UK, so I get some sets early, and I thought that was one of them). Firelord almost made my list too (that one was much better than I expected)! -

No More Walgreens Exclusive Marvel Legends In 2023
Psychosomatic replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
This is such great news! While getting figures at Walgreens has gotten a little easier (online), it is still difficult. Not a fan of exclusives anyway, but I don't see that changing any time soon. -
My Father-In-Law always asks us for Christmas lists and this year I started giving him my list really early in the year (Pre-Order Marvel Legends figures). I highly suggest this tactic - I saved a lot of money on figures this year and got a bunch of toys for Christmas (felt like a kid again)! Merry Christmas to all!

Wonder if they will be bold enough to take a shot at Legends Haslab again this year. I don't think vehicles will ever have wide enough appeal to get funded, so they will need to get clever about future offerings (unique, priced reasonably, and not flipping off the base by including highly sought after characters that will only be released this way). Secret Invasion could be an interesting theme with say a set of characters with both regular heads and Skrull heads. War of the Realms could be a great theme too with a Frost Giant and supporting characters from the story. Marvel Monsters (Dracula, Werewolf by Night, Mummy, Zombie, Man-Thing, Blade). Just a few thoughts!

This is going to be a really expensive year! If you look at the release dates for everything we know about so far, we are only at around June for the Avengers wave and I assume the X-Men wave will be around the same time, so we are only halfway through, folks! My greatest hopes for the rest of 2023: The Original 5 X-Men team, Classic versions of Powerman and Iron Fist, Drax the Destroyer, Yondu, Wolfsbane, Dum Dum Dugan, Adam Warlock, Beta Ray Bill, Mephisto, and Sabretooth.

I think Blockbuster would work best on the Thanos/Controller Buck, but the Omega Red buck could work too. And YES, it is amazing that we still haven't gotten an Angel figure since the ToysRUs Boxed Set... I thought for sure we would have gotten a redo of the original X-Men team for the anniversary. Not complaining - we are getting a lot of great stuff for 2023 so far, but I hope we still get a boxed set of the original team, and at minimum, ANGEL.
