Yeah I saw Maestro, Wolverina, and Moon Knight last night @ Target, but it wasn't the classic Moon Knight costume I recall from the original comic, so I passed. They had a full endcap display up.

I saw the new Iron Man and Female Wolverine at the store last night, but none of the others or any two packs.  It is nice to see something new finally in this line.

Agreed.  I'm wondering what the upcoming Thor movie 2-pack is going to include...other than Thor.  The Hulk is supposed to play a significant role in Ragnarok, but there's always Loki to consider.  And Cate Blanchett's look as Hela was pretty cool in that image dump last week.  But on the figure front, a good MCU 3.75" scale Hulk seems overdue.  The one in the 3.75" Avengers line was pretty lame.

Sorry I'm not sure what thread to ask this in.

Other than Heroclix does anyone know if they've ever made an action figure for the character Legion?

None that I am aware of.  He wasn't in the Toybiz stuff and hasn't been in any of the Legends or Universe lines.

I did see portions of the new MU wave a while back at Target, specifically X-23 and Female Deadpool. I passed on them all to buy the 6 inch Old Man Logan

Thanks Justin.

Question 2

Other than the couple Heroclix versions has there ever been an action figure of Amahl Farouk/The Shadow King?

Dunno where else to post this but there are some new Marvel vs Capcom 3.75 inch figure packs at Target. There has been an Iron Man vs Mega Man set out for a while, but tonight I saw ScarJo Black Widow vs. Ryu (an awesome figure with multiple hands) and Spider-Man (with the outfit from the PS4 game) vs. Mr. Negative. I might pick up the Spidey set.

There is a sweet set with The Collector too that I've seen at GameStop.  :)

That Cap and Black Widow figure are nice, but I've only seen these at $20 a pop.  Way too much for me since I only want one figure at most from various packs.

I was in Target recently and came across the new Hasbro Marvel Epic Hero Series figures from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.  They're scaled similarly to the Marvel Universe figures, but have less detail.  I have to wonder what made Hasbro decide to get back into this particular scale of figures?

It's all Steve Evans. He is championing this line with the tag line "y'know, for KIDS." While we did get the SpiderVerse and GOTG3 movie figures in there, there is a subline of Avengers figures with transforming mechs and an upcoming water-squirting Spider Man subline. Right now there's a range of X-Men 97 figures hitting in the line, too, because Disney+ was supposed to start the new cartoon continuation nowish before it got delayed.

This took the place of the Retro Legends Figures that got put "on hiatus" after the last wave this spring, more or less, spinning the focus to what kids would want to play with, but Steve is a big fan of 3.75" scale and his work with Star Wars and Marvel has borne this out to our benefit time and again. We will see how this one goes.
