So, after having a look at both
Series 1 and
Series 2 that are on the way from Hasbro's Marvel Legends next year - what do you think? Do you see the drop off in quality that many have commented on (lesser paint apps/wash, less articulation, loss of bicep swivel, possible higher price)? What do you see for the future of the line, and your interest in it?
To be honest, I keep thinking there can't be much more that I'd be picking up - but I'd never have imagined we would have gotten some of the figures that we've seen in the line. Despite the difference in quality, I look forward to picking up some of the figures in Hasbro ML 1 and 2, but its finishing off a lot of the figures I was hoping we'd see (She Hulk, Hercules, Quicksilver, Yellowjacket, etc.). That, in combination with all of the great stuff that ToyBiz put out this year (and I haven't found ML 15 yet) has really fleshed things out nicely. I'm always looking for more figures/characters from Spidey's world, but even his rogues gallery is getting pretty complete (Chameleon, Hammerhead come to mind, as well as supporting characters). From the looks of things, "Spider-Man Classics" will be replaced by "Origins", which looks like mostly repainted figures. I'm looking forward to the Iron Spidey from that line, but I'm not sure if there is much else - at least from what has been seen so far. Anyways, what are your feelings on the Marvel lines at this point/and looking at Hasbro's efforts so far - where do you think things are headed? Are you complete enough in your collection that anything else is just gravy at this point?
