New 3.75" Marvel Legends Retro Figures Revealed
sentinelofliberty41 replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
All it would take for me to be all in on this line is a knee joint and a couple bucks cheaper (that'll never happen.) I'd love to have elbows too but knees would put them at the same articulation level as the 90s Marvel Superheroes line which is why I got into toys as a kid. That would get my nostalgia going way more than this. Moon Knight does look cool though. -
Hasbro Toy Prices Going Up Again
sentinelofliberty41 replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
And that's why the Knull/Venom 2 Pack is my last Legends purchase. I get it but since my pay is staying the same while Legends increase' I have to back out. It's been fun though. -
I'm looking forward to this tomorrow. The Hawkeye on the bottom gives me hope that we might get a better version of him and if it does in fact have the skycycle, I'll put that with one of my Cap figures since he rode one too. Maybe since Jigsaw is there too we'll get more info on the second villains wave. Should be a good show tomorrow.

Marvel Legends Retro 3.75" Wave 5 Fully Revealed
sentinelofliberty41 replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
This right here. I know they're more decoration than toy so if they were a lower price point I'd grab a bunch and slap them all over my office. Its the same reason I don't collect anything from the ReAction line. Just too high for pretty art and a figure that isn't meant to be played with. -
I was just about to post this. The paint beneath his nose is really odd, otherwise this is a great headsculpt. I really like these and think Hasbro did a great job but the lack of wings for Sam shows me Hasbro cheaped out like usual. They know the wings are essential, they just didn't want to push the cost/pricing. I don't collect MCU but I will say complaints aside I could definitely see why someone would pick these up even without the wings.

New Marvel Legends Listings Discovered
sentinelofliberty41 replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I think it has a lot more to do with their policy of making figures that aren't quite the version everyone wants and then later releasing an "upgraded" version to resell the same figure/character, thus they use code names to keep things hush hush so any current product continues to sell. I really wish Toyfair had happened this year. I completely understand being safe over covid concerns but god I hate that we have no idea what's coming save for things like this and random guesses until they do video updates. -
I mean, it sucks but honestly I feel like that's about what I average paying for them anyway. Like I'm seeing others say, I'm really not surprised and 22.99 always felt like a placeholder pprice. Still,, Legends are the only toyline I collect and they're cheaper than anything else I'm interested in outside Marvel comics. Thank God I'm not a completionist, I just get who I like or have a personal attachment too.

I'm sure that's the long game. They'll likely do a release of this without all the extras and give it a shield that doesn't have the holes in it. Iron Man is a joke, Hulk has one of the stupidest headsculpts I've ever seen (them sideburns...oof.) Hasbro's choices for so many figures lately have me losing interest in what was once my favorite line. It feels scummy the way they've used the fandom to double dip on figures so many times.

I have this on preorder and I'm excited to get him but it still turns my stomach to think how much he costs. There's nothing in this that tells me it's worth this much. Sure, we get some effects but the electricity makes no sense for Cap, the swoop piece is ok and the bullet pings are neat but it still pisses me off they compromised the integrity of the shield for those. The holes will make displaying him annoying unless we get a fan fix. Also the stand will probably end up bent up in a drawer somewhere. Regardless, I love the headsculpts and this will always be my favorite look for Steve.

I'm not super interested in the race aspect of Sam's book since I think his merits came from the man he is, not really his skin color. I still might give it a shot but it does smell of mcu tie-in. As for Steve, I'm looking forward to it but I'm also a little apprehensive since I'm unfamiliar with the talent involved.
