Hasbro Marvel 4-inch Epic Heroes
A_Spidey_Fan replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
The Venomverse Deluxe Venom looks nice, as I wouldn't mind getting it just for a 4" Winged version of the character, since that seems to be a thing in the recent comics(I think it was the "King In Black" Storyline). I already got the Marvel Select 7" Venom version with the swapping heads and hands as my default Venom for my 6" figures, so I'm good with a 6" version of the character. I am curious if the real figure will have that slightly shine to it or not, as the photos seem to suggest that. Though it could also be photo shop pics as well. Having said that, I'm surprised that Hasbro didn't just re-released and repaint the Water Blasting Wings from that Epic Heroes Deluxe Green Venom with Water Blasting Wings from the 4" Web Splashers line they did released either late 2023 or early 2024, because it looks like a new set of wings for the upcoming figure. To see what I'm referring to, here's a link from Amazon.ca: - https://www.amazon.ca/Marvel-Splashers-Symbiote-Vehicle-Playset/dp/B0CFZMLF37 Will consider Iron Man as well, since it does look a bit unique. Not sure on Black Panther. Will have to see how Spidey looks, let alone if he is going to have multiple variants. I'm okay without Loki and Captain America. If they do that Black Widow Venom figure(Which I highly doubt, but you never know) from the recent comics, I'll consider that too. -
Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*

Glad to see that U.S. Agent is for sure getting a Shield of his own. I figured he would of when I heard he was going to be in this movie, but glad to see that for sure, he will. And having Valentina(Julia Louis-Dreyfus's character) as a Store Exclusive would make sense as well. I will most likely get U.S. Agent for sure from this line, and Maybe Bucky. Yelena Black Widow I'll wait and see, others will either be wait and see or for sure pass. Not sure if I need female Taskmaster, while I'm sort of warming up to female Ghost, but still not sure if I need her in my collection. Have to get a good look at how Red Guardian looks like in this movie, but since I got him from the Black Widow 2 Pack, I think I'll be okay with the 1 I have. -
I like the cloth cape for Doom, and if ever decide to get this set, it will only be for him. I also like how he comes with a swapping Doombot head, so that even if you already have a Doom or 2(Like myself), you could always use 1 figure as a Doombot. Don't need the other 2, but they are nice, and I'll be honest, it would of been even nicer if Taskmaster also had the felt cape too. Though I think I'd more be interested if they gave this Doom with a felt cape a Throne for him to sit on. Though I suppose, in order for that to work, his tunic(Or at least, the bottom part) would have to be felt too.

Alright, so Anthony Ramos as The Hood in costume looks good form the pic Lord_Scareglow provided. Pretty good over all. Probably the most easiest they ever had to do, since he's just wearing what looks like normal clothing over the Red Hood And Cape(With of course, them adding some texture similar to Dr. Strange's Cloak, but not complaining about that, as it adds to the Hood and Cape, making it look more than just some sort of simple Hood and Cape to me at least).

Marvel Legends Generation X Chamber Custom Figure By Morning Woof
A_Spidey_Fan replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous Customs
I really like your Scarlett Witch Morning_Woof. The thing that really sets it apart to me, is the addition of what I have to assume are "Magical/Cosmic" Sparkle/Stars effect on parts of her costume and hair. Even if Hasbro does do this costume for the character(Which I would consider personally), I can't see them doing the Sparkle/Stars effect on it because, you know, the usual for "Cost" issues that they, for some strange reason for a Multi-Billion Dollar Company who continues to raise the prices of their lines, Can't afford to do so. Sigh... Either way, great job overall. -
Fair enough in regards to the live action Transformers movies, as I find them personally entertaining. Though the 2 Mark Walberg ones, I did like them when I 1st saw them, but upon rewatching them, I didn't like them as much as when I 1st saw them in theatres. It's almost a year since I've seen Rise Of The Beasts(My brother may get the Blu-Ray copy sometime this summer), but from what I can recall, he seemed okay. Depending on how they write The Hood, and the directing, he could just as good as anyone doing The Hood well. It also depends on how they handle The Hood, and what changes(If any) are done to his comic book character's(Besides race), such as the character's personality, motivations, and such. And why he's in conflict with Ironheart. Though I should note, I'm not super familiar with The Hood himself, as I only heard of the character for the 1st time thanks to Marvel Legends, and more specifically, the uproar it caused when Hasbro 1st revel the figure as "The Angry Marvel Legends Fan" joke(Which I personally didn't take offence to). I did read a Free Comic Book issue of the Sony Spider-man video game comic book that GameStop in Canada were giving out last year that took place before the Sony Spider-man 2 Video Game, and it featured The Hood. However, I'm sure that The Hood in that Video Game Comic Book may have a different personality than in the regular Comics.

For sure going to get Cable from this Wave. Been waiting for a Blue and Yellow suit Cable for a long time after since Hasbro did that Cable in the Build A Juggernaut Wave. Though I'll be honest, I might have been okay with Hasbro's 1st Marvel Legends 6" Cable back around 2007 in that Wal-mart Exclusive 2 Pack with Marvel Girl had I gotten it(Far as I know, it never show up in Canada). However, from what I can tell, while that figure is tall(It's a repaint a Wolverine figure from the ToyBiz 2006 X-men line with a Cable head and Cable Arm, as that figure was tall), it didn't seem as tall as I think Cable should be. My only complaint about the Build A Zabu Wave Cable is that I wish he still came with some more guns and such, maybe adding in 1 Super Huge Gun. I might consider Wolfsbane, only to help add to my around 1990's X-Force team look. Depends on my budget and such. I know nothing of Red Widow, but I like her design. And Ka-Zar looks like cool. Would have to probably pass on them though. Maybe for Ka-Zar, down the road, they will do a Ka-Zar with Zabu 2 Pack(Think something like the Vehicle 2 Packs, where Zabu can be the "Vehicle").

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
A_Spidey_Fan replied to Outsiders's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I myself am going to play the wait and see Game, especially since the rumour is that the F4 in this movie are from a alternate dimension/timeline, and that they eventually wind up in the Main MCU somehow. While I too would of like to see Norrin Radd version instead of the Shalla-Bal version, for now, I am open to see what will happen, since this again is supposely not the main MCU. Though I can see how some people maybe fed up with the recent Marvel Movies replacing a male character with a female character, such as Ghost in Ant-man And The Wasp, Taskmaster in Black Widow, Shuri becoming Black Panther in the 2nd Black Panther movie, and Ironheart might end up as the New "Iron Man" like character(Especially since she is also a child genius). Some would argue that in the 2nd Dr. Strange Movie is more like a Wanda movie, since the movie seems to put a focus on her(I haven't seen it yet, just basing on what I've heard people mention about Dr. Strange 2). Though I will say for Ghost's case, you can argue that since the 1st 2 Ant-man movies have a Father/Daughter theme to them, having Bill Foster eventually become Ghost's father figure kind of makes sense for fitting in with the Father/Daughter theme of the movie. I've not seen the 3rd Ant-man movie yet, so I don't know if there is still a strong Father/Daughter theme to that movie or not(I'm sure it's there, but when comparing to the 1st 2 movies, I don't know how strong it is). I didn't add in Jane Foster Thor to the list because at the very least, there were essentially 2 Thor characters in Love And Thunder, instead of Jane replacing regular Thor. It also becomes a mute point in that eventually, both in the comics and the MCU, Jane Foster dies of cancer, so her term as Thor is short. And at the very least, it may help viewers get use to the idea of having other characters in the MCU to wield the Power Of Thor somehow at the same time as regular Thor, such as Bata Ray Bill, or Thunderstrike. -
When I saw this Dr. Strange in the Purple/Lavender Tunic, I thought Hasbro made a mistake, since I usually see Classic Strange in a Blue Tunic, not Purple, and thought that in the 1990's Cartoon, Strange had a Blue Tunic. But after doing a quick Internet search for some pics from the episode of the show where Strange appeared, I saw that I miss remembered it, as that it was indeed Purple in the show. I'm also guessing that back then, when the 1990's Spider-man Animated toyline came out, Strange in that line was wearing a Blue Tunic, not Purple, so that could of also play a role in me thinking that in the show, the Tunic was Blue, not Purple. Either way, neat that Hasbro went that route in making it Purple, as it could later in the regular line, give us a Blue Tunic with the proper White design on his tunic. But in the meanwhile, it makes this Strange a bit more unique as well.

Main Cast For The MCU Fantastic Four Movie Announced
A_Spidey_Fan replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I was wondering if Pedro Pascal had shaved his beard and mustache, he might look more like a Classic Reed Richards, instead of the more Modern look he has from time to time? It might make it easier for people to see him as Reed since most of us view Classic Clean Shaven Reed instead of modern Beard Reed. Having said that, the fact that Pedro is Chilean might be another reason why some people can't see him as Reed, since Reed is normally Caucasian. Though to me, if I didn't know a dam thing about Pedro and just looking at some of his photos(Especially any from Wonder Woman 1984 movie), I would of thought he could be Caucasian, or at least Mix. Me personally, I know he's popular now, but truth be told, I've never seen him in anything(As far as I know). His name could help get some butts in theatres. To me, I would have to see a trailer or 2 with him as Reed to really judge if he could nail the character or not. We'll see. -
Well, I consider myself a "True Marvel Legends Fan", but I don't have either of these in my collection. And I've been collecting since the late ToyBiz Days/Early Hasbro Years. And yeah, it's a Cash Grab for those who never got them before, as Hasbro is taking advantage of the recent Deadpool 3 Movie ad. But nothing wrong with them re-releasing them. No different than back in the ToyBiz days when some figures got re-released in different lines and what not. Heck, even in the 1990's and very early 2000's, ToyBiz in their 5" lines would re-release a number of figures in various different ways. Either way, if I already didn't have a good Regular looking Deadpool, I would of consider the Scooter set to also get the Deadpool Corps Animals. But I don't need it. Having said that, I do recall this set kind of peg warming at the time too, but who knows how it will go this time. I hope this is another way for Hasbro to bring back some Deluxe style figures with vehicles again, regardless if they are re-issues(Like Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider, and Comic Book Business Suit Professor X with Hover Chair), or some new ones(Like Danny Keith Ghost Rider, and Professor X in his Green Field jumpsuit with Hover Chair). I actually wanted that Retro style Deadpool back when it 1st came out, as the Metallic Blue really looks nice. However, at the time: (a.) I had to Pass on it because I was buying other Marvel Legends Products that I wanted more. (b.) The only time I ever saw it in a physical store was in a Comic Book store for about $80 Canadian(At the time, most regular 6" Marvel Legends were around $30 Canadian. Now a days, depending on the line and such, most regular 6" Marvel Legends are between $35-$40 Canadian). The only actual retailer that maybe carry it was GameStop Canada, but I never saw it there. I hope to get it this time at a more reasonable price.

Agree with everyone here that they should of included the extras from the various 2 Packs that these have been released in. Iron Man could of came with a Stark head, the extra weapons/accessories, and maybe even the snap finger. Iron Spider could of came with at least the Spider Legs, though I will admit, the "Kill Mode" head(Basically Spidey Eyes in Red) would of been neat as well. Even if they had made them each as a Deluxe Release in order to add in these accessories I think would of made them a bit more desireible, and I would of consider them. I will say that the reason why I've yet to buy any Single Released Iron Spider's(Regardless if it's the regular version, or the version with the Gold), the Spider Legs are an important aspect of the Iron Spider Suit.

Thanks for answering my question. Again, it's only because most 1st Appearance Spidey figures usually have a Red Spider, so to find out that it was Blue all along, is kind of a neat tibit for me. I currently don't have a 1st Appearance Spidey in my collection(Regardless if it's 4" or 6"), only because I've never felt the need for it, though I will admit, that 4" Marvel Legends 5POA Retro 1, I may consider, only because I think it's kind of unique how they did the web wings on that figure. Having said that, I will admit, this 6" with the Blue Spider at the back, sort of interests me, and would help stand out a bit more than my other 6" Spidey's, so I could consider it. We'll see. I like how this classic style Moon Knight has 2 swapping heads, so that you can have either the White Mask, or the Black Mask. I personally don't view Moon Knight as someone that I would get multiple versions of, at least in 6" scale, as I've really like the kind of modern armoured look, and even that Disney+ Series Mummy look. His business suit look isn't too bad, but I don't feel the need to get it, unless I want a pure white business suit for swapping head reasons. And for the record, I don't have any Moon Knight figures at this time. But the fact that it has 2 swapping different colour masks, I will admit, has me interested as well, enough to consider it as a maybe. All I know if this was maybe 2 or 3 years ago, before the price increases, these would of been "Strongly Consider" instead of "Maybe Consider". Can't blame you on that. There are times where I get a figure, only for them to do a minor upgrade a year or 2 later, and I will usually not double dip(Example: I got the 1st Ben Reliey 1990's Scarlett Spider in the regular Marvel Legends line, and then a few years later, they re-released it with a bit of a better deco, but also the unmasked Ben head, and I had to declare that I wouldn't double dip just for the Ben swapping head). Will admit for me, it may depend on the characters if I may double dip on the same costume but I can make exceptions, including if 1 has painted details and the other has sculpted(Think Captain America, and 1 having sculpted chainmail, and the other is painted), if it's been a good few years since I got a figure in a specific costume(Even more so if it's a better head sculpt, more accessories, and/or added a decent amount of joints), if feel there is a actual need or if I'm just happy with the older figure, if the new release is in a multipack that has a figure I really want, etc. 1 trap that I've so far haven't fallen for, is buying new Single release figure in the same costume of 1 I already have just because the new figure has Pin-Less Joints. They may get me with a Multipack if the Multipack has a figure or 2 I really want(That has already sort of happened with the Renew Your Vows 2 Pack, as I only really wanted the MJ as Spinneret figure, as the Pin-less Spidey was just a added bonus for something I didn't really need, but was okay to get), but not a Single Pack, at least so far.
