I love the boxed sets! They certainly help explain the lack of the Invisible Woman in the series. Having not bought the Torch yet and not opened my Mr. Fantastic yet, I am pleased with the set. Heck, my daughter loves playing with old Ben Grimm so it's just a big win for me. The spidey box sounds fantastic as well. I will buy it the second I see it.
I'm not so keen on their chase pieces. Phoenix and Black Widow are ok as chase, but Vision is too important to leave as a chase, much the same as Red Skull. They should be regular figures, easy to access.
Series VI is, um, ok. But I'm not so keen on Cable or movie Punisher. Deadpool is fine, but not overly a Legend IMO. Juggernaut is bloody brilliant, but I suspect they will not use enough plastic.
What's up with Series VII? Another Wolverine? Why? No other characters to make?
Ghost Rider? A new sculpt or just again? No real need is there? Isn't he still readily available? I know I saw several in Grand Forks last month. Apocalypse and Hawkeye are super choices, but War Machine? Um, I'm dredging the memory banks to remember this character, never mind Legend status. Blech. And I can only presume Stealth Armour Iron Man is a repeat.
Very strange goings on. I think they need to decide whether this is just an X + line or a Marvel Legends line. Are there going to be separate X-men figures? Are they of Legend status? Same comments for the spidey line. I am not satisfied with the current spiderman line at all. They are ok, but not quite the same quality (IMO) as the Marvel Legends stuff. Kraven, Daredevil and Morbius all earned the distinguised pass from me. I do not pass on many toys, so that cannot be good.
