Marvel Legends

Loving the 90s Jean Grey. I hope it's not impossible to find.

I like that old/new style Hawkeye.  Is it one figure with interchangable head or two variations?  I have not had much luck coming across ML variants.

Iron Monger on ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvel-Legends-Iron-Man-3-baf-Iron-Monger-BAF-8-Inch-rare-rare-loose-pre-2013-/390556224226?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item5aeef70ae2

Thanks!  Anyone else here bidding on it?  I might just go this route as I didn't want to get all of the Iron Man figs anyway.

Looks good, I already have the 3 released parts. Will wait out for the other 3.

I got the latest wave of Legends from BBTS, and they really are some pretty nice figures.  Of the variant figures I received the Protector (instead of White Iron Fist), Hyperion (instead of Sentry), Red She Hulk (instead of Lyra/Savage She Hulk), and Archangel.  I still don't have room for all these, until I rearrange things, but I really think Hasbro has improved on the Legend figures after a somewhat rough start.  A nice looking line overall, although not very space friendly .

Finally lucked out with Amazon and got Archangel for 19.99.

Finally lucked out with Amazon and got Archangel for 19.99.

Thanks very much for mentioning this; I was able to get in on this deal as well. Much appreciated!

Looking at the Legends presence/news out of SDCC, and I have to say there is quite a bit I'm pretty excited about.  I've been getting more and more back into the Legends stuff, particularly with MU basically being on hiatus lately as well and the figures themselves have been pretty great.  Looking at the announcements, it sounds like these are the final couple waves of this year:

Wave 5 - Rocket Racoon
Wrecker/Bulldozer
Jean Grey (and variants)
Hawkeye (classic/modern)
Black Panther
Scarlet Spider

Wave 6 - Jubilee
Marvel Now Thor
Agent Venom
Radioactive Man/Tiger Shark
Moonstone/Songbird
Blizzard/Batroc the Leaper

After those last two waves, the Legends line will shift to a rotating movie focus (similar to Iron Man Legends and Wolverine Legends this year), and the following figures were announced or shown:

Captain America Legends
Marvel Now Captain America
Baron Zemo
Red Skull (Movie)
Captain America (Movie)
Black Widow (Movie)
Winter Soldier (Movie)

Spider-Man Legends
Black Cat
Ultimate Green Goblin (Build a Figure)

There was also mention of a comic Star Lord coming later on, so I'm guessing it might become "Guardians of the Galaxy Legends" or something like that later as well.  Even with the new approach, I have to say I'm pretty excited for what's on the way in this line.

I had an order arrive from BBTS this week, and it had the newest wave of Marvel Legends (Rocket Raccoon wave).  I have to say, this is a really solid wave all around.  One of my favorites in awhile.  As far as the breakdown of what was included in my set (not sure which variants are coming when):

Black Panther
Scarlet Spider
Jean Grey (regular)
Wrecker
Hawkeye (modern)

These five, along with the Rocket Racoon BAF are all pretty great.  I never had a Jean Grey in this scale (missed the Toy Biz version), and we're now one step away from the complete Wrecking Crew, which is pretty sweet too.  Hopefully these variants will be showing up, unlike the previous couple waves, so we can get Bulldozer, Phoenix, and Classic Hawkeye (which I also missed the TB version).  Hasbro had a bit of a rough start with the Legends stuff, but I think their recent stuff has been pretty top notch.

[JediJman]

Nice grab Brian!  Hoping to see these in stores eventually - I definitely want that classic Hawkeye.

I managed to find the new Iron Man 6" figures today for the first time.  First I found the Iron Patriot at Walmart, which had figures clearanced down from $15 to $11.  Then I hit up Target and found the modern Iron Man and Ultron figures.  Still need a few of the first wave before I can build Iron Monger though.

Looks like there were a few reveals for the Legends line at NYCC.  New packaging, and the themed wave concept begins with Captain America Infinite Legends, then transitions to Spider-Man Infinite Legends, and then later on I'm guessing Guardians of the Galaxy (lineups shown between SDCC and NYCC):

NYCC Reveals

Captain America Infinite Legends
BAF Mandroid
Marvel NOW Cap
Baron Zemo
Red Skull (Movie)
Hydra Soldier/AIM Soldier
Black Widow (Movie)
Winter Soldier (Movie)
Captain America (Movie)

And continues with Spider-Man Infinite Legends:

Spider-Man Infinite Legends
BAF Ultimate Green Goblin
Amazing Spider-Man (Movie)
Electro (Movie)
Black Cat
Carnage
Superior Spider-Man
Beetle

Really looking forward to both of these lines.  I was never able to get the Toy Biz Black Cat that came in the box set, so I'm really glad we're getting a new version.  The Mandroid BAF looks cool as well, and the lines in general are pretty good.

[JediJman]

These look cool - I will probably grab a few of them.  If they ever make it to retail...
