Hasbro Announces Marvel Legends Live-Stream For August 10
Audie replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Maybe the stretch goals could be some GR villains. There’s aren’t really any for your display beyond Blackheart unless you use the Select Mephisto or maybe the movie Scarecrow. Wasn’t there some hint we could get Orb? He’s got a motorcycle too. That would rock -
That’s a fairly narrow view. Black Panther and Thunderbolt Ross don’t have the same status in the MCU or the MU proper. They’re not JUST “characters”. For one, BP is a headliner. Ross is A supporter. And Chadwick Boseman meant an incredible deal to a ton of people, not the least of which were black communities excited to represented by a major blockbuster character. Your argument that they are comparable is dubious as is supporting statements like ‘no one cared’ that they replaced hulk actors, because some people did have things to say about that. I actually think Boseman SHOULD be replaced because it’s a deprivation to lose the character and I think the actor would want both the story and the representation to continue, but not because of some misplaced idea that the actors are simply interchangeable on these characters.

Well I used to be annoyed at all the redo figures from the Toybiz and early Hasbro days but now I say ‘bring it on’, less for me to burn my cash on.

Why don’t you just go to a matinee in the suburbs when no one is there? Are the staff gonna come down the aisle with a flashlight to check that one dude? They sure don’t at my cinema. -
Marvel Legends Comic Book Based M’baku Custom Figure By one_oak_customs

So the answer to my question is that you DONT believe Disney will find an issue with it. Thanks. I think Man-Ape is a super cool character and I love this custom. I made a similar one myself a couple years ago. I’m just saying Disney and Hasbro are going to be painfully aware of the optics on that character and just avoid the classic look. -

Sounds stupid because it’s true about Disney? Or sounds stupid because you don’t think it’s true? I don’t think Disney wants to put a black man in a gorilla suit in their premiere action figure line and I bet Hasbro is just as hesitant. Also there will definitely be characters that never make it to the legends line. Marvel has over 1000 superheroes alone, to say nothing of at least as many villains, several dozen supporting characters that could be made, 40 thousand alternate costumes for Spidey, Wolvie , and Stark and multitudes of cosmic beings that are too large or too weird to make in plastic. But I’ll stand corrected if they ever crank out a Walrus-Man or Eon BAF. -

It would still be an African man dressed as a Gorilla. Disney won’t touch that with a 10 foot pole. -
