I hadn't planned on getting the vintage wave Silver Samurai, but I found him on clearance at Walmart for only $5.00, so I picked him up.

There are a lot of characters who appeared in 2-packs that I wasn't interested in but would definitely want if they were repainted and released individually for $20.00. I'm thinking about Klaw, Arnim Zola, Cyclops with yellow trunks, etc.

Ant-Man is one of my favorite Marvel heroes, and I was so happy to get him in the vintage wave that I forgave them for simply repainting the Black Ant version. Yes, I would absolutely love a new version with a helmet that is more comic accurate. However... the version that we got isn't bad. I think of him as a more stylized version of when Scott Lang took over. But I would love to see a whole Hank Pym set (yes, another one!) that includes classic Ant-Man, Yellowjacket, Goliath, and Professor Pym from his West Coast Avengers days.

King & Queen: Black Bolt / Medusa - these two need to be redone Evolution: Mar-Vell / Captain Marvel - first appearance Mar-Vell in green and white Kree warrior outfit; other is red and blue Nega-bands costume with interchangeable head for white/blonde hair Enemies: Doctor Strange / Baron Mordo Heroes for Hire: Power Man / Iron Fist - classic versions of Luke Cage and Danny Rand Nightwing Restorations: Misty Knight / Colleen Wing West Coast Avengers: Tigra / Wonder Man - red jacket and sunglasses version of Simon Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: male / female - two bodies in tactical blue and gray uniforms, interchangeable heads to create Jimmy Woo, Jasper Sitwell, Clay Quartermain, Phil Coulson (male), and Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Maria Hill, Sharon Carter, Melinda May (female) There are so, so, soooo many more I could come up with. I also really like the idea of army builder packs for the Skrulls, the Kree, the Mindless Ones, the Leader's Humanoids, Hydra, A.I.M., etc.

I love that the Fantastic Four are getting their own wave(s), but I prefer classic looks to modern. Since the Walgreen's exclusive gave us the retro/classic look for Reed and Sue, I'd like to see the other iconic design, the blue and white costumes designed by John Byrne, made famous in the '80s and '90s and in the unreleased Roger Corman movie. Wave 2 Mister Fantastic - with bendy wire stretchable torso; arms and legs would be good, too, but torso is a must She-Hulk - Fantastic Four costume Mole Man - 3 1/2 inches tall, comes with 2 moloid creatures the size of a Marvel Universe figure Super-Skrull The Wizard Paste-Pot Pete BAF - Annihilus Wave 3 Invisible Woman - in costume, translucent shield effect like the new toy has Human Torch - Johnny Storm in costume, attachable flame effects Namor - reissue with cape and crown, alternate head with more comic-accurate hair and eyebrows Skrull Scientist Mad Thinker Invisible Woman - translucent BAF - Awesome Android Wave 4 Human Torch - flamed on, red body, black lines, yellowish flame effects Crystal - classic yellow Inhumans look Triton - Diablo Puppet Master Blastaar BAF - Dragon Man Wave 5 Thing - with blue pants Gorgon Triton Titania Firelord Impossible Man BAF - Ronan the Accuser

I bought Hawkeye from the Odin BAF wave and the Wasp from the Ultron BAF wave just five days before I saw the announcement for the second vintage wave that included versions of Hawkeye and the Wasp that I like better.

I have to say the Walgreen's Invisible Woman is my favorite for three reasons: 1) she was my very first Marvel Legends figure, my gateway into collecting this brand; 2) Sue is my favorite female Marvel superhero; and 3) it's a good-looking figure with cool interchangeable hands, an attractive body and head sculpt--and H.E.R.B.I.E.! Other female Marvel Legends I really like are: Spider-Gwen Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew, original costume) Black Widow (vintage wave) The Enchantress Female characters that I want Hasbro to release are: Captain Marvel II/Photon/Spectrum (classic Monica Rambeau) She-Hulk (either from the Savage or Sensational She-Hulk comics, not the new version) Magik (classic New Mutants costume with the eldritch armored arm and a reasonable-sized sword) Gamora (original appearance, green fishnet-looking costume) Satana, the Devil's Daughter (I doubt this will happen) Colleen Wing (my Misty Knight figure needs her partner) Clea (Doctor Strange's paramour) Tigra Princess Python (from the Circus of Crime, complete with giant bendy-wire snake that can wrap around her) Rogue (original green costume, hood, short hair) The Wasp is another one of my favorite Marvel women, and I have both of her comic figures, but I really would like to see another based on one of her more iconic costumes from either the '70s or '80s.

Even though I got into X-MEN in the early '90s at the end of the Jim Lee run and during the animated series, I don't feel a nostalgic longing for that era. I prefer Claremont's first hundred issues on the title, the era of Cockrum, Byrne, and Smith, so those are the X-Men figures I would like to see. On the heroic side, the X-Men I would like to see are: Storm (original costume designed by Dave Cockrum) Kitty Pryde (either in her classic training uniform or the blue Excalibre look) Magik (classic New Mutants costume with eldritch armored arm and a reasonably sized sword) Rogue (original green hooded costume, short hair) Cyclops (basically the same one from the Dark Phoenix two-pack with the optic blast features from the new Vintage wave) Villains Toad The Blob (I really haven't got a good look at the BAF version; if that works, fine) Mastermind White Queen (classic Hellfire Club Emma Frost) Pyro Destiny Avalanche And since this is all about flight-of-fancy wishes and whatnot, sure what the hell? I would really like four or five 18 inch tall Sentinels priced at $20 like a normal figure. 😄

Finally got Nightcrawler and yes, he’s terrific. I might post my Top 10 later when I get the chance.

I thought you meant Johnny wearing a polo shirt and khaki pants like he's working at Walgreens. 😂

Power Pack Alex Power / Zero G Julia Power / Lightspeed Jack Power / Mass Master Katie Power / Energizer In order to capture the real sense that these are little kids, these would all have to be brand new body molds, probably closer in scale to the 3 3/4 inch Marvel Universe figures than the average Marvel Legend figure. Just using the Ultimate Spidey body for Alex Power isn't going to cut it.

I haven't decided if I'm going to get this box set or not, but looking at the pics, I gotta say... I love the head sculpts on Northstar and Shaman!

The Kamala Ms. Marvel? I agree that figure could use some improvements. I'm really disappointed in the lack of articulation and movement on her arms with the interchangeable embiggened hands.

What is it about that version that you didn't like or want changed? What about those versions don't you like? Body mold? Paint? Accessories

Hasbro has been crushing it lately with their Marvel Legends releases, but let's face it, they don't hit the mark every time. Sometimes they make a figure that is great in every way except for one glaring problem, such as Doctor Octopus with the lame, non-bendy arms. Sometimes they release a figure that is universally loved, but you, personally, have some grievance against it, like, for me, Nightcrawler with straight/spiky hair. And sometimes they produce a figure that everyone should be excited for, except they don't use the classic, most iconic version but rather something current that will be outdated in a month, like the newly announced She-Hulk. (Seriously, I am so pi$$ed that they're wasting She-Hulk on dumbed-down gray version that debuted last year.) So, which Marvel Legends character, already produced by Hasbro, would you like them to redo? Which toy gets a mulligan? It could be a big thing, like completely redesign the body mold and design (Captain Britain), or a medium thing (replace the arms on Doc Ock), or a really small thing (recolor the 80th Scarlet Witch to make her legs and arms more pink like they should be). Which Marvel Legend would you like to see redone or corrected?
