Great looking set! Love that Giant Man has the same head sculpt as the Haslab for consistency. Wonder if you could do a little Kitbash and use the lab coat and arms from Reed Richards if you don't like the soft goods coat.

Didn't have Nefaria or Whiplash on my Must-Have list, but definitely want them after seeing these. And that She-Hulk, WOW! This is a great looking wave. Now, can we please get a classic Valkyrie, Adam Warlock, Iron Fist, Marvel Monsters, Ghost Rider, Daredevil (on the Vulcan buck), Nebula, Mole Man, Mastermind, Destiny, Banshee, and First Appearance/Classic X-Men?

They have the same limbs; just different torsos. Otherwise, they definitely would’ve emphasized in the livestream that Dugan had an all new body.
Yeah, at first they looked like the same (Vulcan) bodies, but then there were pics that made it clear that each had a retooled torso.

The head sculpt reminds me of the original Toybiz Legends Cap. Really nice work.

Wish Sharon was in her shield outfit, it would have allowed more customisation
Still a great set, but I agree about Sharon's outfit. A Shield outfit Sharon, and a GW Bridge head too, would have ensured most folks would have bought two! Love this set though!

Long overdue release! I'm really liking this figure. I would like a blue costume option in the future. Maybe an original X-men boxed set?
I think I have asked for a re-do of the original x-men boxed set more than anything else on this site....that and maybe a re-do of the Marvel Monsters, and re-issues of characters with Skrull heads. Imagine how fun it would be to brainstorm with Hasbro Legends team.

I have been collecting Legends since the very beginning, and this wave recaptures the excitement of the old random Toybiz waves, and I love it. There will always be things we wish were different, but I think Hasbro gets it right way more often than they don’t. Hope to see a classic Adam Warlock, Valkyrie, Original X-Men, and Marvel Monsters soon.

All right, I’m not one who typically gripes about Hasbro (I think they get it right more often than they don’t) but this is just insulting to put out another Daredevil on the wrong buck. As much as I like the Hydro Man, the Daredevil miss will make me pass on this one.

They're not Happy Hogan's legs. The folds and knees are different. Plus they would make him way too tall.
Agreed! That’s why I said modified Happy legs.

Yes they have been pretty darn consistent with maintaining Wolvie's scale to this point. And that's something I give them much credit for. And I guess it could just be a matter of one's taste but I look at previous Logan figures where he's in jeans and they look way bulkier and consequently more accurate to me than these legs. Like seriously all they should have done is taken the same legs from either previous Wolverine or Logan figures and just tweak them with suit pants lines. It's not like they have some other super short character that needs a suit model. I'm sure it's a small thing that most people will have little to no trouble with but it's just one of those things that sticks in my craw.
Yeah, we'll see what it looks like in hand. Thank God they didn't use the regular suit pants legs...though I can't tell if these are new though, or just reused/modified Happy Hogan legs. Again, need to see it in hand.

I'm so very thankful for these pictures. It just cemented what I was starting to think. Wolverine is pretty much suffering from the same issue most suited body molds suffer from. Too small. Too skinny. Not at all consistent with any of his previous figures who were all wider in the shoulders and thicker in the thighs. Even the art from where they got this reference got that part right. Just look at those tiny legs. Had his thighs been thicker the coat wouldn't look so awkward and oversized as it does. A figure in a suit should have the same proportions as a character in spandex. Only with much smoother details. Sometimes I think they see these suited molds as an easy way to save on plastic. I was on the fence as well but now I'm totally off. I'm good with my Joe Fixit and though it would have been great to have had this Wolvie if the proportions had been done right I really can do without this basically one-off look of his. I know I'm sure he's worn a suit somewhere else at sometime but this set is based on one specific moment. Which I guess I really don't need. More money saved.
Hasbro has been ridiculously consistent about Wolverine scale since the Juggernaut wave version, and I think this one continues that trend. The arms, shoulders, and torso look to either be the same as the Old Man Logan figure, or quite similar. The feet are not typical suited figure feet (they are bigger and thicker) and the legs look close to what I would expect based on the size of the other Wolverine figures (I think they are new). The coat might be a bit wide at the bottom, but all in all, I think it looks great. We'll see how it looks in hand.

Not all of these are must haves for me, but this is a damn impressive list with many characters we have been asking for. An updated Iron Fist is a must have (guessing it will be the big collared version and he will come with a redecoed Powerman with multiple head sculpts), any version of Ghost Rider is welcomed, Man-Thing needed a better release than the Netflix wave, people have begged for Warbird, and Destiny for what seems like forever, Crossbones was done dirty with the horrible Hyperion buck (guessing this one will probably be on the Hercules buck), and Skaar, Hulkbuster, and Odin (guessing this one will be comic, since we just got an MCU version not too long ago) will be great to see. It feels like Venom is released as much as Wolverine, but I am sure there are plenty of folks who want more of him. Curious how the other characters will turn out, and if the Cap sets will be MCU or Comic (would love to finally see an Isaiah Bradley). Along with the upcoming Vision from the Void BAF wave, Wolverine sets (finally a proper Sabretooth), deluxe Angel, Haslab Giant-Man, and classic Wasp, this is looking like a strong year for Legends. Fingers crossed we get a Marvel Monsters Box set for Halloween, and an Original X-Men Team Box set for Christmas!

Several solid offerings, but I am most excited about the Shield 3 Pack (We need an updated Fury and Dugan).

People take movies way too seriously. You are going to be entertained. Sure, some movies try to convey a message but for the most part they are for entertainment. I went into this and had a good time. In fact I have had a good time for most post-Endgame MCU stuff. Do they have poor executions? Yes absolutely but I continue to watch them because I enjoy them.
I could go on forever about this. I agree, I have enjoyed the post Endgame stuff too and feel people are being way too hard on Marvel. Sure, there have been stinkers (Multiverse of Madness, Love and Thunder, Quantumania), but even the worst Marvel project is a triumph considering the interconnectedness to such a massive universe of films (nothing has ever been done at such a scale in cinema). All that being said, I wish Feige and team would go back and review earlier projects to get an idea of where they came from. I watched Ironman 1 over the holidays and it has an energy about it that would be great to see them recapture...you could tell they were hungry and had something to prove. Love to see them hungry again, but I think they are going to blow us away with Deadpool 3 and I think they are going to use that to right the ship in many ways. Hope I'm right.

Seems that taking shots at this movie and Marvel Studios is becoming a past time....I just saw the latest Indiana Jones and it was nowhere the stinkbomb people are saying it was. And I can be pretty demanding. I hope they don't let themselves fall victim to haters.
Felt the same about Indy. Definitely had flaws, but it was still a lot of fun.

I would think from a financial point of view, Hasbro is going to want to reuse those wings. A FA Angel would be a no-brainer. I'd be down for a new, well done, FA X-Men set. I've never been happy with any of the Iceman figures.
Totally agree about the wings...and about Iceman! An Original X-Men Boxed Set is such a no-brainer.

When are we going to get a new Original X-Men Boxed Set? I would pass on this Angel if I knew that set was coming. The recent Sandman figure gives an idea of what a proper Original Iceman could look too! I'm tired of beating this dead horse - c'mon, Hasbro!

While I want Doom in a MCU movie, they should NOT make him the fallback guy for Kang.
I don’t care if they recast Kang or rewrite it with Doom - I just want it to be great. When Marvel started they were hungry and it showed in their content. I think they got so used to being wildly successful that they got cocky and started thinking they couldn’t lose. Eternals wasn’t bad, but it was a departure from what audiences expected, and they needed something pretty significant to keep audiences engaged following Endgame. Black Widow was more of the same. No Way Home hit the mark (and brilliantly leveraged nostalgia), several of the Disney+ shows did as well, and Wakanda was pretty solid (and impressive given what they had to work around), but Multiverse of Madness was dreadful, Love and Thunder was wildly disappointing (especially after the triumph of Ragnarok), Quantumania was forgettable, and Marvels was just fine. They need to get hungry again and put out something of uncompromising quality, regardless of whether they recast or pivot (or do a combo). I want to be excited about Marvel films again and prove those who say the genre is dead wrong.

Now that we have those wings, hopefully Hasbro will take another shot at the original 5 Boxed set...
I have been asking for that for years, and I feel pretty confident they will do it soon.

I like all the 2 packs except the Psylock/Ninja Wovie. Surprised how much I like the Brood Wovie. That Sabretooth is the truth and I like the Wolvie too. That's the civilian one I wanted from his convo with Kurt right before Sloth rips through the ground and let's them know about the Morlocks being in danger. Love it.
Angel is the freakin Heater for me! Waited so long for him to be redone, and he's awesome!!!! Insta buy.
Thought the same about the Psylocke 2 pack too, but the Wolverine head sculpts are so good though!

That Sabretooth is perfect - Better than I could have asked for (and the Logan looks great too). The Brood Wolverine/Lilandra Pack - didn't see that coming, and I just mentioned the other day that it would be cool to see a deluxe Wolverine with Brood Replacement parts. The Hulk/Patch Pack is incredible too. Damn good reveals!

Well they got me. I didn't figure I'd be getting an X-Men 97 figures but here we are.
I thought the same, but ended up picking up the Bishop and Wolverine and they are fantastic. Definitely picking up a few of these too!

I hope they show off anything that will get me excited about this line. This year to me has not been a good year for collecting legends. I need more classic villians, too many heroes this year.
There was certainly a lot I wasn't interested in purchasing (mainly movie stuff), but in a year (I believe) with Hawkeye, Black Widow, Blob, Drax, Ronan, Yondu, Ant-Man, Clea, Wonderman, The Orb, Powerman, Vision, Star-Lord, X-Men 97 Wolverine, X-Men 97 Bishop, Female Hydra/Shield 2-Pack, Black Knight, Sersei, Destroyer, Avalanche, Dark Phoenix, Spiral, Longshot, Skrull 2-Pack, Joe Fixit, Emma Frost, Gray Hulk 2-Pack, and a Giant-Man Haslab, I would say it was a pretty solid year.

Fingers crossed for a re-do of an Original X-Men Boxed set.

Love damn near all of the figures that are rumored (especially Destiny, Mystique, and Iron Fist), but I am crossing my fingers for a revisited original X-Men Boxed set!. And a proper Adam Warlock!
