What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?
I’m relatively new to the figure game and collecting ML figures has become a very frustrating experience. Figures are released infrequently. And when they are realeased once a year or so they seemed to be released in limited quantities as Store Exclusives. Meanwhile I see a pegs full of new Marvel Universe figures including figures that never saw the light of the day in the 6 inch line.
So what has been worse: Hasbro buying Marvel’s license and transitioning to the 3.75 scale Or Store exclusives? |

Re: What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?
Store exclusives... IMO
Hasbro has done some bad but also has done lots of nice things... Foom, Blob, Anahilus, I like Ronan, the Thing from that FF wave is one of my favorite legends. Lots of characters we never got under TB, like Cannonball, Domino, Mole Man, Sunfire... I think the exclusives should be all to HTS. COM. Walmart excs are a PITA to get...

Re: What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?
Thing is If ML had stayed with Toybiz I think all those characters would have been made at one point or another.So that really isn't a plus in the favor for Hasbro to me.

Rough was the worst thing for the Marvel Legends line.
Sorry man. It had to be said.

toybiz most likely would have sculpted and used paint better though,and distributed better the first 2 waves of hasbros did bad so they assumed the line was dead and didnt put alot of effort after that

Re: What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?
hasbro is the root of it all... but it has alot to do with the fact of how they've run it into the ground... losing the comics/bases/baf's/quality. putting out too many exclusives and neglecting online, raising the price, making a 3'4 scale and promoting the hell out of it (something they never really did with ML's)

You can't point a finger all you want Saint, I know it's your fault. That's why you've been away for so long, you've been destroying Marvel Legends!!!!

Re: What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?
I have to say both.
Hasbro hasn't been really giving a crap about the line & the store exclusives are killing it because they're usually peg warmers.

Re: What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?
It's funny you know, about exclusives. They're basically a bribe from Hasbro/Mattel/Toy biz to a store to carry the toy line. Especailly Wal-Mart exclusives.

Re: What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?
I didn't get them from a scalper or anything, I got them from a comic shop who got them from a distributor who got them from Hasbro, if they could be found in Wal Mart I woulnd't have had to.

Re: What has been worse for the Marvel Legends Line?
I started recently collecting too, mostly the X-Men characters. What are the chances the prototypes will be released? I'd kill for the Modern Havok, Madrox, and White Phoenix.
