Anyone keen on the return of Marvel Legends in 2012?
Whilst the Marvel Universe line got better with each wave, I just didn't like the size especially considering the price.
I'm looking into getting a preorder of these from BBTS but maybe they will come out here considering the Marvel Universe was stocked in Oz. I never had the chance to get the other incarantions of Marvel Legends so nice to start from the beginning.

hmmm are these the same size as the first ones then not those itty bitty expensive little buggers they pass off as action figures lately? If they come up with figures of characters Im after most likely, as of now the only one Im inclined to get is Blade and Constrictor. I wish they'd make at least 6-8 of the Secret Serpent society ( are they even still in business- sorry not a Marvel follower so dunno) - especially Bushmaster - reminds me of Golobulus:D

They're fantastic figures! These are mine from the Hasbro acquisitions thread I got in February, I'll post some out of pack pics later.
http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa340/gantz3/18022012560.jpg
The detail and sculpts alone are quite good, and the 6 inch scale is great. From pics I've seen and the few I have, they don't seem to match with the previous ToyBiz or Hasbro lines, they have gone for a more comic accurate look, similar to DC's figures they release for certain comic series lines.

Say $14.50 yeah, though add roughly $10 for shipping, still not the best.
I guarantee if Toys R Us do stock the new legends, they will be at a price point of $29.99.

I got the Extremis Iron Man as part of a package from BBTS the other day.
Damn, I'm impressed. The figure is just PERFECT.
Only flaw, and it's apparently a common one, is that the black paint used on the bottom of the helmet (mouth-line area) is a tad wonky. Mine is off a little, but it's pretty damn good compared to other people's.

I mean if its $14.50 in retail stores and six figures to build Terrax , that's a total of $87 (if you managed to get into the US or got someone to shipped from you).If its with a postage the lowest form of US mail (2 to 4 weeks max) and lets say its $50-$60 for the whole lot shipping. Then it would cost you around $137-$147 total, its not bad compared to buying it here for a whooping $200 at Kings.
They probably ordered it at Big Bad Toys for which it cost $23 each (I think) and as a bundle complete with shipping with series 1 would cost around $150 something (can't remember).
Toys R Us USA is $20 each and so yeah I think your right with $30.A source from Hasbro told me its coming out at TRU in the first week of April but no prices.
I went to Asia a month ago but did not get a chance to get them and got sold out.It costed $137 for the whole series 1 and its $22 each.
I am hoping for Hobby Co to import it, they are selling Dc universe (6 inch figures) for $14.95 while Kings sells the for $26-$30.

9th March 2012, 02:37 PM
I know what you mean, I think it works out cheaper getting from online overseas as you'll get the set and even with shipping charges at least you get the lot.
I hope TRU will stock these and would love it Hobbyco would sell it for less like the DCUC figures. Though they had so many of the same ones in a series e.g. Cyclotron, Cheetah.
Got admit, they look awesome! Sigh, guess no savings this month :p

Me too blown my money on carded from a friend:
Series 6 Wolverine (Brown Wolvy)
Gambit
Ant-man
Wasp
Faceoff Hulk
Mystique
Sabretooth
Kitty Pryde
As a bulk for $130 including shipping that's still better than the current wave 1.I still a have few ToyBiz left and a few Hasbro, anyone wants to sell their old Toybiz let me know.Only two more left for my X-men and mostly completed my Avengers just missing Iron-man series 1 and Hawkeye, also some Hasbro.
Extremis Armor is not great no Tony head and you have to buy the Hasbro two-pack to get the head.It does not fit in with the old Toybiz suits or Iron man movies toy 6 inch version.I have seen it and too effing skiny for an ironman and I was hoping to put this as my Avenger display.
TRU will stock these figures confirmed from my Hasbro source on April and the problem is price :mad: Gantz would be right in my opinion will be $30 too.

@Gantz, thanks for the piccies, nicely done.
I like with the unmasked Daken variant how they actually had the mask unfurled as what most unmasked figures tend to be, the cowl magically disappearing.
I now also noticed the neck point articulation, it can look a bit obtrusive, still a great figure and line and especially love the comic style packaging.

I was surprised to see these at TRU today, looks like wave one was skipped, I wanted that ghost rider :(
kobedumar
26th March 2012, 10:46 AM
I wanted wave 1 more than wave 2 and I think the blue ghost rider is cool.These are $25 each which is not bad but needs 7 figures to make Arnim Zola.Some of my friends got them for $16 as they did not have a price last week.

They belong to Fantomex :D her super big gun was a a little bent, so it was in some hot water to straighten it out, she really should have come with a huge arsenal!

5th April 2012, 10:55 PM
I've checked TRU Hurstville and Moore Park. Seems the common ones for Wave 2 are Drax, Fantomex, Cap Bucky and I saw Daken unmasked.
TRU in Miranda had nothing. Seems TRU is more focused on displaying the Avengers movie toyline for the movie out next month.
Looks like BBTS time!

Ah, that's a bit lame. At least you guys got a shot though! I only ask because I'm trying to pick up the two Wrecking Crew members. I've managed to secure everyone else I need from the first two waves.

Hey Meangreen,
I saw Bucky Cap and FF Spidey at Toys R Us once...
My LCS gets 'em in, they recently stocked wave 1. Thor is massive!
Meangreen
5th August 2012, 10:21 AM
Have you bought any of them Gantz? I'd advise you get Thor. He's worth an inflated price.
How much do they sell for at retail?
gantz
5th August 2012, 01:14 PM
Went in hopeful this morning they'd still have Thor and Zarathos Ghost Rider, all gone :(
They sell for $31.99 and $29.99 at Toys R Us (if they ever restock)
Looking forward to Punisher, Blade, and a few others from Wave 3
Meangreen
6th August 2012, 09:22 PM
Well thanks for the price info Gantz! I'll blame you for this :p
It just tipped me over the edge into ordering a random Wrecking Crew member for about $40 NZ shipped. It feels like a good enough deal to me, especially considering his size.
Gutsman Heavy
6th August 2012, 10:18 PM
Pre-ordered Deadpool and Blade/Punisher in the hopes for the classic 'pool and Blade. Otherwise I'll flog 'em on ebay.

He's got such a nice sculpt hasn't he? Pity the leg articulation is just not there. I hope they re-release him and address this in the upcoming Iron Man line next year.
gantz
10th August 2012, 08:49 AM
He's very shiny! :D
As he should be.
I found the leg articulation to be OK, the thigh swivel is decent I guess, though the ankles, what were they thinking, he is Iron Man! :confused:

Nice pic Gantz! I'm waiting for Thunderball to arrive then I might do a similar show and tell. After that all I'll be needing will be Piledriver, then the first two waves will be done for me.
Is the gold paint on your Extremis quite dark and almost reddish looking when viewed under artificial light? Mine is and I'd like to know if it's normal or it missed an application?

Deadpool's not released yet so you can take some time to get prepared. I'm glad to see he's been packed two to a case but he will still be pretty sought after. I have a feeling the X-Force variant will be common at first with the red and black coming out a bit later.

My gold is quite light from memory (and that pic) I will look tonight and let you know the results.
From the next Wave I'd love to get both Deadpools, Punisher and Blade, and Doom too!
Which wave is Red She-Hulk (Betty) in again?

Thanks gantz!
I'm only really looking for red Deadpool from the next wave. I want the classic Iron Man but not in the bright shiny shade they coloured him and without the big boot and glove extensions. Maybe Blade too, but he's at the bottom of the list.
I believe Red Shulkie is wave 4. She's a must buy. Hopefully the do a She-Hulk on that body too.

Do you have Fantomex Gantz? Or anyone else? I'm thinking of springing for him. Is he an okay figure?
gantz

I pick up the occasional MU here and there, Frank only cost $15 from LCS.

Same to you gantz.
Retail though? That's a foreign word to me. You'll find I say "ebay" and "BBTS" more often than not these days. Often in the same breath as "damn shipping"...
They're pretty much my newest ML for a wee while. You gotta get that Heroic Age Iron Man though. Really top notch. Iron Monger looks like it'll be great too.

Annoying though, the shelves were full of Wolverine and some dude with an atom on his chest. I saw some on the storage shelves way up high, naturally no staff around. So's I did the logical thing, one foot on the shelf, and reach up to nab all the crap up top. Of course Acrhy here was all the way at the back wasn't he? :-/ Found a red She-Hulk as well up there. Nice.
Would have grabbed Wolvey, Hulky as well. But jeebus $30 a pop!! that's a little like a ripoff in my books. i remember when these babies were $16... but that was before hasbro got involved.
Naturally they didn't scan at the checkout and the dude couldn't find the tag on the shelf... I found it just fine. It amazes me that people at TRU consistently have no idea about their products at all!

I was so happy walking out of the store :D. It was the only Archangel left in the racks too!

Right now though I came across the little versions - Marvel ones, Im so impressed with how poseable these little figures are as well.. I bought Hercules which I must say looks way better in poses than the big version they released years ago. waaay better, kinda sexy actually hehehe :D Plus got Angel - I have Archangel (small version too) way back so I was quite pleased to grab him - the wings are awesome! Also nabbed Psylocke, Professor X and Silver Surfer. As well the two pack Colossus Vs Juggernaut. Though the Hercules little figure still is quite my favourite!

nice Score there liege, I love that figure, it;s just too damn good (http://www.tetstoys.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/legends-archangel.html). And since I am linking stuff, here's my review of X-Force Wolverine (http://www.tetstoys.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/lgndwlvy.html)
Good score on Thor Xman. You should try to build Iron Monger too. He's impressive.
Is anyone out there going to try for the SDCC set this year?
It looks pretty good but I don't have too much interest in those Thunderbolts.
I caved and pre-ordered the Deadpool Taco packet set...:o Don't care for the Thunderbolts however. The IronMonger looks cool, but yeargh. All those Ironmen...:p
I couldn't resist Thor either. Such a great looking toy. I think he is shortpacked though as I found a shelf of what looked like a couple of boxes, but they only had 2 Thors. I love the way you can hang his hammer from his belt.

I think they have two separate lots running at different stores. I've seen this wave http://marvellegends.net/MarvelLegends/MarvelLegends02/MarvelLegends02.jpg at one store and the first wave with Thor, Iron Man (these guys http://itsallaboutchenming.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/wave-1.jpg) at another, with the Ironman wave at another.

Interesting the Arnim Zola wave has the variants; Big Time Spider-Man, Dark Wolverine w/mask on, etc. Wave 1 (Terrax BAF) was the first run, with blue Ghost Rider, regular Iron Man (as opposed to stealth), solid shield (as opposed to translucent) Captain America.
Don't collect these myself, but end up with a couple because a mate orders a case, and there's usually one or two double ups per case. Grabbed the masked Wolvie and Big Time Spider-Man for him from Target the other day.

27th June 2013, 02:12 PM
I should add, Target only have wave 1 (comic series) of Iron Man Legends, not wave 2 (with the Iron Man 3 Iron Man mk42 and Iron Patriot).
Hence, you can only get half a BAF Iron Monger (comics) if you only get the ones at Target.
Tetsuwan Convoy
27th June 2013, 02:45 PM
I'd like to know if target are going to continually get these guys in, or whether they are just finding stuff for the sales. Have seen some promising figures in later waves, one with a BAF Red hulk, which I could go for and since 18/24 bucks ain't too bad for these dudes (prefer 18 though;) ), it might make me go local.
*edit*
just saw that red hulk was from 2008 :(
No Spiral for me

They've got Iron Man Legends Wave 2 at your Target? Can I ask if there's any variants, or if it's just the Iron Patriot Rhodey and Mk42 Stark?
I understand there's a variant set coming out later this year with the Mandarin instead of whatever comic character is currently shipping in wave 2, and likely a War Machine instead of Iron Patriot...

They have both wave 1 and wave 2 in Target Rocky, but no variants, only the figures we know about so far.
I heard there's a gold Ultron coming somewhere in the future, so I guess that might be part of the variant wave, but it'd mean Mandarin would have to replace an Iron Man (or possibly the comic Iron Patriot) rather than the current silver Ultron.

Also, Here's a recent haul of mine with a fair bit of Legends content.

Has anyone spotted the Arnim Zola wave figures at any Targets in Sydney? I found 2 figures (Captain America and Thunderbolt) randomly at one Target but have yet to see this wave at any other Targets in my area. So has this wave appeared anywhere else in Sydney (aside from TRUs)?
Meangreen
18th July 2013, 08:23 PM
Well, that's a wrap folks!
Marvel Legends is gone once the newly revealed wave at SDCC is out. From there on out it's themed assortments to tie in with whatever marvel movie is at the box office.
Link to story (http://www.mucollectorclub.com/forum/content.php?372-Return-of-Marvel-Legends-ending)
Having said that, I like a lot of the reveals for the final wave and 6 inch marvel figures aren't going off the shelves permanently. Things could be worse.
XMan
23rd July 2013, 10:21 AM
I'm super OK with the new format for Legends. For me I get a more dedicated choice, at times I only want 1 or 2 from a line, but I can see how others may not really like it.
So will it be like it is for Iron Man 3? Comic Series then Movie Series?
Here is a pic of my Legends and Select :)

I like "Heroic Age" Hawkeye, But I've always had a soft spot for Hawkeye. Glad to FINALLY have a Jim Lee Jean Grey, really digging Black panther and Wrecker. ScarletSpider may grow on me but just not a fan of that Spidey mold.

Never mind. I managed to snag one off eBay for 25 dollars.
Goes to show how screwed up Australia's retail is when buying something from the other side of the world (USA) costs less than literally walking to the store across the road from my house.
Australia needs to wake up if they don't want retail to go the way of the Tasmanian Tiger.

Picked up a Black Widow from my local the other day. I may yet go back for the rest of the series if the fancy takes me, although North Rocky was missing Marvel Now Cap. I picked up Red Skull, Baron Zemo, and an AIM Scientist a while ago so it would only be $30 to finish the series.
