Marvel Legends X-Men Callisto Figure Revealed
joenubb replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I don't think the Callisto, Wyngarde, and shirtless Wolverine reveals are a new wave, and will most likely be single release fan channel exclusives like Punisher War Machine, Cowboy Logan, and Agent Venom were in 2019. -
I'm late in responding, but than man. Even though I know this wave won't be shipping for months I still like to look at pre-order in anticipation of adding this wave to my collection. It's got some heavy hitters in it.
-
I stopped into my local Target in upstate NY yesterday and today. No new Shang Chi Legends. The employee that was working did point out that they just re-stocked the Spider-Verse and House of X waves which looked great on the pegs together!

X-Men Rogue Limited Edition Bust From DST
joenubb replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
This is a great looking piece and I'm loving Paul Harding's sculpts on these busts. I snagged the Magneto he did several months ago and the dude nailed it! -
Teams that will never be complete?
joenubb replied to tarot's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
I'm in full agreement for both teams! I'm happy with the rate they've been releasing the Serpent Society, one member every one-two years, and GOTG from the 90's is one of my favorite teams of all time and I'm hoping against hope we get them sooner rather than later! New Warriors from 1990 too! -
Nice! Hasbro could use the Monster Venom BAF mold to make a Prime figure as a first foray into the Ultraverse.
-
I could be down for a few Ultraverse characters, and since Malibu comics was bought by Marvel years ago they could technically appear in the Legends line. Heck, a few Marvel characters were pulled into their universe during the 90's.
-
While I'm all for the Warriors three and the rest of Thor's supporting cast, you can't deny the popularity of the X-Men, especially the 90's run. Caliban was a supporting cast member for years, sometimes as an ally, sometimes as a villain (like the BAF version). The Stepford Cuckoos are popular and help complete the modern version of the team circa 2012. They might not be any interest to you, but they've been on my list. And for the record, Alpha Flight had it's own series that ran for over a decade so it's easy to see why they would get a boxed set before the Warriors Three. Although I hope we do get a boxed set of Hogun, Volstagg, and Fandral soon.
-
I'm very excited about this figure and the prospect of one fan channel exclusive per month. I think it's a great way to get older BAF's into collector's hands and other repainted figures.
-
While not my favorite costume either (I was hoping for his look from New Mutants #90-99) , the figure does look awesome and the only nit pick I could make is that the hair sculpt looks too long to me. Other than that, great looking fig. And even though we're getting the same wrist-mounted blast effects recycled ONCE again, kudos to Hasbro for the power effects that plug into his back. It looks very cool.
-
Agree. I kind of skipped through the Star Wars live panel in SWInsider.com and just finished watching the Transformers panel on Tformers.com. Looking forward to the Marvel panel!

Marvel Legends Sightings and Hauls thread
joenubb replied to aaozz9's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
I am loving this set but the only problem for me is Colossus' left hip is loose right out of the box. How is yours? And has anyone else this situation with Colossus? -
Thanks for the update JayC. I was starting to get antsy that we hadn't seen anything yet.
-
I'm going to make a prediction that we will be getting a character from X-Men 2099 revealed this weekend. My reasoning is Marvel recently added X-Men 2099 #1 to their free Marvel Comics app, and while they add new books all the time, my instincts tell me this addition is important. Last year when they revealed Nighthawk, issue #1 of the 1998 Nighthawk mini series was released on the marvel Comics app, and in my opinion X-Men 2099 is too random an issue to release without reason. We'll find out tomorrow for sure though. Can't wait!
-
Great breakdown on the history of the figure and I'm in complete agreement about the 80th being the absolute, hands down, best version. I like the other ones as well and think they're great in their own way, but nothing is touching the 80th Anniversary Iron Man. Although I would love to see him with the yellow instead of gold armor like the 2 pack figure as featured above (Sorry, double post)

Yes! I have been waiting so patiently for Hasbro to make the New Warriors. Just give me the characters and costumes from the first twenty-five issues. I'd love to see Marvel Boy with the full masked head plus a masked head with his hair exposed. We'll need Nova's red outfit from issue #1 and his blue/yellow costume. Speedball should come with some bubble effects too.
-
I think both are great figures on their own merit. And of course the costume differences really skew as to whether you prefer the classic look vs the modern look.

I agree. And I believe Best Buy does it the same way? Regardless, I'm tempted to snag some sets and take advantage of the 15% off. -
Marvel Legends Sightings and Hauls thread
joenubb replied to aaozz9's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
In upstate NY (Saratoga area) I've been making daily toy runs, and even during a trip to PA while visiting family I have been hitting the stores, and able to find all of these figures at Target. Thor and Colossus/Juggernaut were still in the back but the employees were very helpful about locating and fetching them for me. I've also seen the retro wave at my local GameStop except Storm.
-
I chose Arcade, Avalanche, Banshee, Deathbird, Firestar, Mesmero, Syrin, and Sunspot.
-
Good call! I'd love to see an alternate head showing her blue eyes.
-
I'm in complete agreement, brother! I grew up reading Classic X-Men so this is the perfect Colossus for me. The "X" belt does irritate my OCD a little, but not even close enough for this to be a real problem for me. With the classic TRU Cyke we got two years ago, the tiger stripe Wolverine from last year, and that we're getting this classic Colossus and Nightcrawler this year, I am so friggin' excited! Now can we please get a Cockrum style Storm?!?!
