Well, I'll be getting the Ben Reilly Spider-Man,
Maria Hill/Iron Man 2pack,
Iron Man/Sharon Carter 2pack
Tarantula
Kang
Ronin/Skrullektra 2pack (if I can find it!!)
Astonishing Beast and Tigra both maybes
Crossbones
although, I'll pass, but that Heroes Reborn Iron Man looks amazing!!

And how could I forget? NOVA will finally be out with Beast and Tigra!! FINALLY

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Cant wait for that Ben Reilly Spider-Man, Tarantula, Crossbones, Sharon Carter, Maria Hill, HAND warrior....

I hope they fix Tarantula's mask. He should have the ties on at least one side of his head (although it may be going down the back of his neck, and we just cant see it)...

Is that Juggernaut figure being released in the Spidey Classics line?

 

[Spider-Jay420]

I can't really tell but I hope Tarantula's boots are pointy. They KINDA look like it in the pic though.

Juggy, yes. Hideious isn't it? That will never replace the TBML I already have. I do like Classic Venom III behind him though.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

yea the spidey line as a hole pretty much sucked...

Oh and i was talking to 2 Hasbro representatives for marvel legends. one of the artist said that that was not his final version of aries, just the one they had finished so far, so i suspect something even better (hopefully)

I also spoke with a woman who was taking suggestions. there trying really hard for people to complete teams and scenes. So expect more team members and figs to "complete a scene" in the near future.

I personally told her "you guys really need to complete the young avengers" and she smiled, and she said something like "well it's definately something were trying to do"

another guy asked about more AOA figs, and she said thats another one we would probably see more of.

and another guy was asked whats his most wanted fig... and he said "jim lee jean grey" and she said, which version ? animated or comic (animated was peach, comic was yellow) and he said comic.. .so since she's gone that far into detail about it... im pretty sure jean will be coming soon imo.

Yeah, me too. And yeah; Tarantula's boots look pointy to me as well. Hell, they BETTER be! That's the character's whole schtick!

 

[spideyboy_1111]

and OMG the F4 3 packs actually now match in the darkblue/light blue combo! and torch and sue actually look very good!

 

[spideyboy_1111]

they are pointy, and were

 

[Spider-Jay420]

F4 3 pack?! Who got left out? -nevermind. In my pic above (post #4) I see 'em all in the back except Reed. That sucks.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

ahh ment to type 2...

theres 2 two packs

reed with ben and sue with johnny

 

[Spider-Jay420]

oh ok. That makes more sense.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

oooooo and btw.. i must say this, hasbro def is getting better... esp in the face sculpt department, though they still lack in toybiz's paint department, there definately trying though and make up for it imo with the army builder packs, something toybiz probably could have never done. Though.... one thing that still pisses me off that they don't seem to be improving in, is one of the very things that makes ML's special... articulation.

And Shipping

 

[spideyboy_1111]

meh to be honest... at least for me i dont see there shipping much different then toybiz maybe for the cunucks, but here i dont see much of a difference.

btw and article i read said BAF's are essentially done now... (assuming that means after the redhulk, aries, nemisis waves) is so... thats good and bad, i mean i dont really think anyone else really needs to be a BAF, sure some could (strong guy) but he's honestly the same size as aries and hulk, and both of those could have easily not been a BAF. So it could be a good and bad thing, Bad cuz we loose that "bonus" fig, and good cuz well, now i dont have to buy a whole line of repaints or shoddy versions of previous figs for a BAF part, and thus wouldnt need to feel all "completist" in that way like i usually do

 

[Spider-Jay420]

I'm curious as to what that rep meant when she said "complete a scene". Especially if they're done with the BAFs. Like will figs come with part of a terrain now that snaps together? Hmmm...

 

[spideyboy_1111]

no she means figures only... like now you can officially do the first apperance of wolverine (green hulk + wendigo + FA wolverine) stuff like that. Say you want to do a civil war display, etc...

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Gotcha. I hope they do something though instead of the BAFs. Go back to bases or flight stands. Stay away from the vehicles, unless character appropiate. Of course, they can concentrate on the paint and articulation more without worrying about the BAF pieces. Maybe it'll be a good thing.

So dude; did you mention we'd like a ****load of new Spidey figs? You and i both pretty much have named the same characters in our "want lists"...

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Hmmm, so all we need for a Mighty Avengers display is Wonderman in his "leisure suit", correct?

(oh, and i guess long haired beardless Sentry, and modern Natasha)

 

[spideyboy_1111]

you know i didnt... but i really think there trying to market spidey as a kid friendly line. I suspect a pattern of like 1 good spidey character in his waves (thus why really the only one worth getting is trantula (and gargan venom (not scorp venom, theres 2 new venoms coming out)

indeed, i think MA Wonderman, a new sentry, modern short haired natasha could all be future possibilities. i mean we are getting Dum Dum and a slew of other random shield agents... so i think everything is fair game now...

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

I'd kill for a modern Luke Cage and Echo... (NA FTW! )
