"Just what my wife wants....another f'n Iron Man" LMAO! Hasbro has never meant a repaint it didn't think was a good idea...

The odd looking head for Abomination is from the "Immortal Hulk" story arc, a personal favorite of mine. Without going into two much detail, at that point in the story the head represents a combined Emil Blonsky and Rick Jones.

There is "No Way" I would ever take this cheap knock off "Home" with me at any price. The figure is so far away from what Jamie Foxx looks like it's insulting. I'm sure it would have killed Hasbro to pay a royalty and make the figure look accurate.

So I order two of these the first 1/2 they are listed. Wait, wait, wait, WAIT, WAIT, order gets pushed back and back and back, until finally I get a cancellation notice. I don't want this to turn into another Beast with Lab Coat situation, so I end up buying one on eBay. They're so expensive I can't get another for my brother. Then of course, this happens. But I guarantee if I had never bought one on eBay, the next time I saw it, it would have had a triple digit price tag. F$%^ you Wal-Mart!

Haven't picked up any Maximumly expensive Series of figures and I won't start with Deadpool. Look at the figure from the Juggernaut wave. He has almost as many accessories, and I think I paid $20 for him. Yes, I get that Doop is the draw for this release, but other than that one piece all you are paying for are hands and recycled accessories. But on the plus side at least they didn't add a MTG card and up the bill to $100.

They're going to be adding TWO special MTG cards in with all ML figures and the cost is going to $60 per figure.

I'm not enough of a Punisher fan that I would spend money on a vehicle based on his brand. (It took me many years to just own a figure). I would much rather something from an X-Men property or even the Ghost Rider car at a much more realistic price point. In general, the problem with doing any vehicle is that they are, for the most part vehicles are not connected to the character. To me, Ghost Rider and his motorcycle would be the most "connected" pairing, or the Green / Hob Goblin and his glider, but both have had several iterations already.

I'd like a three pack with Sauron and Savage Land Rogue and Shanna. I can't travel all the way to Comic Con, so I hope Hasbro will post these figures for sale on the website, possibly give a time so that we can all have a chance to get the set....Oh wait....

I got an idea, let's rerelease a former BAF, enhance the paint job, give it some effects, stick two high demand, attractive female characters in the set, and then make sure it's an exclusive! Not only that, but promise their will be limited quantites on the website, BUT make it for the premium members, and not for the regular buyers. I mean why would you want to sell MORE units of something. You might make more money. They should handle sets like this one, more a long the lines of how they handled Dragon Man and Mephisto. But what do I know I only had my credit card lined up, waiting for them to take my money.

This comment is in response to those who don't mind this new "Electro" movie figure, and who I would normally suspect work with and support Hasbro, although I hesitate to call anyone a "shill". I too have been collecting since Wave One Toy Biz. (Actually before that - I collected the first, greatest line of all, Spider-Man "Classics" waves one and two with the chase figures and exclusives - the line that launched everything we have today). The Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, and a short time later, Toad, were $8 at the time and you received a reproduction comic, some type of stand, and a figure with a ton of articulation, and all new tooling. For $35 you now get a character with terrible sculpting, as they do not own the license of the man they are stealing from, a decent, (not great), amount of articulation, lighting effects already used in the recent female Electro figure, and an extra pair of hands. What justifies this extra cost? They are paying no fee to Jamie Foxx. Hasbro is constantly reusing parts. If this price stands and the figure sells well it will become the standard price for a Marvel Legends action figure. All we can do as collectors is vote with our wallets. Don't support this figure or expect to pay $35 for every Marvel Legends sub part offering in the near future.

$35 plus shipping, so $40 for a figure who Hasbro doesn't have Jamie Foxx's license to. Not in my lifetime would I ever pay that. Foxx should sue. Hasbro should hang their heads in shame.

Spider-Man, where he is my favorite character - maybe, depending on how much extra cash I had at the time, and how much I was "feeling" Marvel at the time. Right after seeing the upcoming MCU films - probably not, (although I know one doesn't have anything to do with the other), but if I went back through some of my favorite comic arcs - maybe. It would be the ONLY and I mean ONLY character I would spend that much money on. Let's face it, he can only have on head and one set of hands at a time.

It's weird when you want to laugh AT a company, and how its moronic idea blew up in its face, rather than feeling actually glad when something like this happens.

Overall some nice reveals. It's nice to have some figures to look forward to down the line. My only "nit pick" is Aunt May wearing a suit and tie on her upper half. Is she wearing Uncle Ben's clothes for some reason? 🙂
