pumpkinpatch Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The guy has no picture of it up other than the stock photo released by Hasbro which seems a bit dubious to me. To be honest, Hasbro has absolutely frigging butchered my love for this line. I am really glad to see a lot of B, C & even D list characters coming out.... but something about the newer figures feels... cheaper than the old ToyBiz figs. To be honest, the waiting time between waves, the even longer wait for running changes, the switch to little BAFs that should probably be be Pack-in's with a single figure, the price increases, the spotty distribution.... i don't know - maybe some of those issues were there when ToyBiz ran the show as well... but i think i was excited enough by what came out to over look price rises and 'the hunt'. Maybe minimates has spoiled me with regular releases and a deeper character selection? I've bought maybe 3 or 4 of the X characters from the last few waves of Hasbro ML... and i've opened 1. The rest are sitting in boxes in a cupboard. I'm wondering if it might be time to give away this habit. . . :/ seller claims pictures of the packaging will be up "ASAP" ...i really want my moonstar figure. the wait has been pretty painful. i was convinced hasbro just cancelled the running changes for this wave...this gives me a little hope Sold Moon Prism Power, Make Up!

TM2 Dinobot Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think that's the S.F.Arts I mentioned a while back in the Figma thread. Seems to have the same joints. Where's you pull that from, HS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I finally put up my Marvel Legends (and DCUC and 25th Joe figures) up on eBay. There was a time when I was all talk about it, but I've finally pulled the trigger. Gonna be nice to get rid of more boxes of stuff I don't display. Kind of liberating just letting it all go.

MsMarvel fan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 she'll never leave the factory looking like that. Hasbro doesn't seem to have the QC that Toybiz had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That IS the factory mass-produced figure. Opened set from SDCC starting tomorrow, just a night early. That's why i'm so impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Who is that Twisted? It really is a nice looking figure. Oh, and aren't the Toybiz team basically working for Hasbro now? I think Q/C has gone out the window on too many lines these days. Love the figures, but the price is preventing me from getting fully into this line. I'm going to build Iron Monger and definitely pick up that Ultron. Great looking figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's exclusive to the SDCC T-bolts set, and chances are she's the one who won't get rereleased. Moonstone also looks gorgeous, just a tad less. I keep putting off buying Ultron. I want to finish Monger...but i just hate the look of that figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Wow - this year is seeing a few girls spotlighted in the ML range.... Moonstone, Satana, Singbird, White Crown Phoenix, Jim Lee Jean Grey, AoA Jean, Jubilee. I'm loving that Hasbro are releasing more females. Let's hope they don't all end up looking like Viper.

minijames Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Jubilee angers me. They took the lazy way out and went with her current outfit instead of finishing off the Jim Lee X Men once and for all. At least they got us Jean, but the only people I know who wanted Jubilee wanted her for their 90's X Men. Frustrating. Black Cat and Moonstone both look awesome. Really digging the new thicker body and Black Cat was in desperate need of an upgrade in the action figure department. Mockingbird......oooh no, I don't like that haircut. That's bad. She already isnt a very sexy character and the hairs not helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 She certainly looks great. I hope the rebranding thing works out, because Hasbro's really knocking it out of the park right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) These two are pretty damn incredible. Movie Winter Soldier looks leagues better than the current Legends Soldier. And new Black Widow is so wonderfully stunning. Great year for Hasbro, even without AoA Jean and Phoenix Cyclops.

Nessex Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Frankly, AoA Jean was going to be an obligation buy for me. Of the several awesome & reasonable looks she has had in the AoA universe, the picked this weird mish-mash of her 10th anniversary costume, but with a hair-cut and colour scheme from the X-Terminated series & a cloth rag thrown in for extra warmth. To be honest, i really don't know how they came to the conclusion that it was going to be a figure people wanted. Weapon X series Jean would have at least fit in with the earlier legends (Sabretooth, Wolverine, Sunfire & Holocaust). Making the costume Red with long hair would have at lease been comic-accurate. Giving her an X-Terminated cat-suit and a butt-load of guns would have been bad-ass. This look seemed to take the worst elements of every look and mush them together. I'm bummed that White Phoenix might not make it out. Hopefully Jim Lee still gets to retail. We never did see that Moonstar, though :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
