Hasbro's Marvel figures

Ummm you can stop right there..... I'm not sure I want to know any more about the ballsucking you got from the Hydroman figure.

EDITED: I just went to see them - holy CRAP does the Shocker look nice! I'll likely by him and Hobby when they show up here next Christmas.

I wonder if i should send a preemptive e-mail to Hasbro saying they've already fucked the Marvel Line up and its still in the planning and development stages. Cause eventually my e-mail will become retroactively accurate. Douche balls.

FINALLY!!! Wal-Mart put out their Giant-Man series. I got everybody except AOA Wolvie. I also got the Young Avengers box set, but skipped on the Monsters set. I know there's a display shipper in the back with those pesky two-packs on it but I haven't seen them yet. I'll post later once I get tham all opened and "played" with. Right now I've only opened Ms Marvel and Shadowcat. It looks like Kitty is using Jessica Alba's body from FF movie line which is great since that is the best female ML body type so far. Carol Danvers is using the older Phoenix body, but since shes got a little Vavavoom it works.

Carol Danvers is currently my "Sexiest Lady in Comics". Vavavavoom indeed.

Looks like Sentry and Captain Britain are reusing Black Panther's body. And Scott "I'm Dead Now" Lang is reusing Iron Fist's. This wave is very satisfying in terms of who they chose. The last couple waves had high points and then the "The hell??!" choices. I mean, god bless X-23 and all, but she is hardly a LEGEND. Maestro and Hulkbuster Iron Man are fine figures indeed, but did we really need them before Titanium Man or Crimson Dynamo ( just two off the top of my head)? Good stuff.

Chux, not sure if I made this clear before, but I will gladly take whatever you can find for me from the Giant Man wave (though I'm not looking for the Young Avengers set, and have no idea what the two-packs contain). Hopefully it's not too late.

Two Packs are thus:

Captain America & Red Skull
Captain America Maskless & Baron Von Strucker
Daredevil & Kingpin ( White Suit)
Daredevil Maskless & Kingpin ( Black Suit)
Hulk & Leader ( Big Brain )
Hulk & Leader ( Kid'n'Play head)

Oh oh, I feel a double post coming on.....

The funny thing about the Young Avengers box set is that its already outdated.

Iron Lad is dead/transformed into the new Vision
Patriot changed his costume already.
Asgardian turned into Wiccan and changed costume already
Hulkling is a Skrull/Kree prince, and most likely will change his costume.

Way to go ToyBiz.

PS I have my Hulkling and Asgardian holding hands. You know...cause they're gay.

Are they starting to show up? I'm not really sure if there's anything in those 2 packs that I'm dying for - maybe the Kingpin, depending on how he looks. The Red Skull figure was supposed to suck - has it been redone here?

Have you guys been seeing the Mojo wave down there yet? The ads in the new comics make them look pretty good, along with the Shocker wave of Spidey figs AND the whole collection of X-Men figures. I've held off on X-Men so far... but was contemplating getting the 2 Stealth Beasts variations I saw at TRU today.

Have any prototype pics surfaced for the Hasbro-directed Marvel Legends yet? My box for these is getting pretty full anyhow... I won't be that broken up if they start to suck and I have to buy fewer of them.

No pics. No nothing. i just know Hasbro and we're gonna be paying $10+ for shittier figures. With less articulation. And they'll have to start over so yet another Hulk, Cap, Iron Man, Wolverine, etc...

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Fri May 19, 2006 1:28 pm

I haven't seen hide nor hair of the "Villains Wave" even. Let alone the Mojo wave.

I only recently saw 2 figures from the Onslaught wave here at the comic store - GG and Lady Deathstrike. The GG variant is an unmasked version... how awesome is that???

Post by **vynsane** » Sat May 20, 2006 11:21 am

aw, CRAP... that means i'm going to be buying two GG's??? and one is the "HTF" one i'm going to have to hunt down???!!!! maybe i could stave off my need to buy them both, but probably not...
