Hey everyone! I hadn't seen a thread for this yet on the forum so thought I'd make one. These could be promising! They seem like they are going to retail for $50.00

Toyark Link: Hasbro Reveals 12-Inch Fully Articulated Marvel Legends Figures - The Toyark - News

If they make a Silver Surfer I can sneak in behind my HT Thanos, I am in.

These do look great and will be a must have. As long as they DO NOT have those terrible hip joints that the original Icons had. Putting the hip peg at 40 degrees vs 90 degrees is an articulation killer. They still do that occasionally on the Marvel legends line and it really stinks. Whoever designed those hip joints, must have never actually played with their figures when they were kids.

PLEASE NO 45 DEGREE HIP PEG INSTALLATION!!!

Yes. The Iron Man looks like the Marvel Now armor as well, just with the black changed to red.

So in addition to these, they'll also be doing more expensive and detailed prop replicas now under the Marvel Legends banner.

Hasbro and Marvel Are Now Making Beautifully Detailed But Affordable Role Play Accessories

Huh. So between this and the new 50 dollar Marvel Legends, anyone getting the sense that this is Hasbro trying to compete with the higher end Marvel products being put out by other companies? I never thought I'd be seeing them putting out a product line where things are 100 dollars a pop.

They have already done so with the Star Wars Black Series line, I'm pretty sure they want to cash in onto the collector's market as well. Let's hope they don't cake the paint like the 6 inch ones.

Oh I remember hearing that. Was the Kylo Ren helmet they put out under the Black Series banner any good? That could be an indication of the quality here for the new Avengers props.

When are these dropping??

It's pretty good for a low end helmet, it's basically a 2 piece helmet. Seam lines are everywhere but it's pretty decent, I'm very sure the IM helmet will have a lot of seam lines as well.

Spring/Summer for the figures, Fall for the prop items.

If this causes Hasbro to step up their quality control, there'll be that silver lining at least.

Until they get cute ideas and become the next HT. I hope things work out because this will easily eliminate my wants for a lot of higher end 1/6 figs

always loved the icon's series, easy buy for me! Gonna probably get some multiples of that Iron Man for bashes!

I don't see anything replacing Hot Toys for me. Hot Toys provides exactly what I'm looking for....just wish they'd chill with the price hiking, especially when they reuse head sculpts and accessories. I know they need to make money, they're a business, all that, but gouging us can backfire real easy, you know? But those "replicas" will definitely work!
