Seriously!! I've been checking EB games nearly every day to see if they're getting him. -
Most shocking omissions thus far
Air-Walker replied to Dabboi's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Machine Man 2020!! I thought this would have been the biggest no-brainer thus far, given we've now got his arch-nemesis (should have been a 2-pack actually). While I'd prefer to see a new figure properly and perfectly tooled to MM 2020's design and paint mods, Hasbro still could have gotten away with this with a simple repaint of the original version and with a new head. Really hoping that they're just holding out on us, man. Other than that? I'd switch surprised more than shocked that we still as yet do not have: Jocasta Classic Ultron Marina Any other classic Guardians of the Galaxy; poor Vance Astro is long in his loneliness on my shelf, lol. Firelord already!! -
I was thinking the exact same thing; a new MODOK figure would be in everyone's best interest! 🙂

Absolutely ridiculous, cash-grabby nonsense! That Norman Osborn never actually died from their classic encounter in AS #122 is one of the reasons why I stopped reading Marvel comics. That and the whole Clone Saga debacle, or things like Thanos never staying dead, etc. It's poor integrity imo, it's the Megacorp mentality too; characters are all 'franchises' now, and the dead ones are only really dead until some writer needs them in order to get attention for book sales. In terms of doing anything new....like actually creating a totally brand new character(s), with a brand new story/ universe, villains...Something like what Kirby did with the Eternals, or New Gods to cite some examples ...Imagine Marvel allowing someone to be that creative today? I think they could get more people interested in comics again if they took more creative chances instead of playing it safe. That and finding a way to make them less expensive.

I totally, unequivocally agree. The Guardsman is such a classic Villain/Frenemy/Hero he needs the complete love that can only be shown through metallic paint. And yes, alas for Guardian, my only (but substantial) disappointment with Hasbro's doings the last few years. They really did a disservice to that release by backing out of that gorgeous metallic scheme they gave the prototype.
-
And on that note, I really hope we get the Guardsman in ML; just finished reading his story line in the classic series and loved it. As for this new stuff, whatever. If it keeps people reading comics I'd say it's a good thing, but for me the classic and Silver Centurion designs are yet to be topped.

Marvel Legends Best Of X-Men Wave Coming From Hasbro?!?
Air-Walker replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Interesting. And yes, definitely sounds like a re-release wave. For my part, I'd be most interested in a Classic Storm that wasn't a frickin Target exclusive ($*U*#@! 🤬). Target exclusives are the Bane of Canadian Collectors since they stopped shipping to Canada. Any how, other than that, I'd love to get another crack at Psylocke (though I'd prefer to see a Betsy Braddock head) and Jim Lee Rogue. And maybe this time they can make a Blue Beast his classic head? Actually, I'd love to see professor X with the wheelchair and a more neutral coloured suit. BAF wise though?....Well, since we know it's not Nimrod or a regular Sentinel, maybe a new Blob? -
Awesome! And wow, in all the excitement I never saw that the figure comes with a Norman Osborn head!! Wicked man! I'm really hoping we see a redone Hobgoblin in this line!
-
Really glad I held off on the other one! I absolutely love his delightfully smug and villainous grin!
-
Lockjaw The Hellhorse (Dreadknight's steed) Aragorn Fenris Wolf/ Fenrir Fafnir (Haslab!....a guy can dream can't he?)
-
I'm a little confused with the picks with the wall crawling hands from Pizza Spidey; so they do fit this new body?
-
Good ol' Black Tom is all I'm interested in; he'll look great standing next to his BFF, Juggy on my shelf! These Deadpools though..He's like the new Wolverine, or Batman figures from the 90s, coming in all colours under the rainbow for all his many different action-suits, lol. Is he really that popular in comics these days to warrant so many variations?

Marvel Spider-Man vs. Venom Maquette From Sideshow
Air-Walker replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Cool! Now if only they'd make a Maquette of Ben Riley kicking the snot out of Venom too! 😎 -
By the Gods of Plastic I hope EBgames in Canada get's Moon Knight! Really excited for these figures overall though! Does anyone know if Hasbro has more reveals on the way? I remember them saying at Toyfair that they still had a lot of stuff for the year to show (and for the love of mercy, please let us have a Machine Man 2020 to square off against IM 2020!)
