    Totally agree there MG. I bough Archangel from TRU, then went online and got the recent Wolvey. And while I was online discivered Juggy and colossus and got them too.

    On the plus side, they weren't that expensive and Juggy is just FRIKKING OOORRRSSSSUUUUMMM!



    Great, another line that I want to collect.

    Hmm, I have to compare 1st Hulk with Juggy and Colossus now... If he isn't a good size, then I have to find me another Hulk.

    I think you've force my hand Tetsu. Juggernaut is on my "to buy" list now.

    The saddest thing is that I can buy these from a local online store and get them for a price that's as good as I can get new Marvel Legends from overseas at.


    *Edit*

    Juggernaut ordered! Now I need some ML mutants for him to battle.

    Cain Marko has arrived. I'm in love with the painted and sculpted detail on this figure. And the weight? Massive!

    I thought I'd post a few quick shots of a shoulder charge pose.

    Oh Yeah, he is a thing of beauty all right!! Glad ya got one. I did a review of mine here. Some of the detail and paint is just brilliant!

    It also prompted me to get Colossus as well. he looks to be a good cale for the 6 inch Legends figures too.

    And. Fastball special capable.

    Have you done a Colossus review? His sculpt looks truly amazing but I feel he might be a little to big for mixing with legends.

    Working on the review now.

    But using a bit of maths, and going with Wolverine being 5foot 3 inches and Colossus at 7foot 5 in armoured mode, Wolverine is 15cm, Colossus 22. Wolverine as my base means 2.83cm = 1 Foot. Wolverine's 15cm works at 5.3. Colossus' 22cm = 7.77 So, close enough to 7 and a half feet. So it would seem that they are scaled to the right size. But that all goes pear shaped when you include Juggernaut, and if any of the other characters are the same height as Wolverine.

    I think that with the large or oversized characters it's easy enough to just go "ehhhh, who cares". I mean, Marvel Universe Galactus is taller than Marvel Legends Galactus, and Marvel Legends Sentinel is also taller than ML Galactus! For any character who's generically "bigger" than a regular size hero I say chuck out scale and just go with it. The same applies in reverse - MU Yellowjacket can stand with my ML figures "because I said so" if I like.
