This Nick looks particularly grumpy. As he should. I may have to pick him up...
I think Hot Toys have finally broken me...I realised I have appx 15 Iron Man figures (I admit this is nothing compared to others collections) sitting in boxes not displayed along with a crap load of others. This madness has to stop. I have a problem. It's an addiction.
But they do look so pretty...and they are damned poseable...and are bound to appreciate in value and make me a millionaire right?! Right?
The people with the most expensive bits of plastic when they die get to go to the best place in the afterlife right?

It's just their way of labeling the set. They say Anthony in their announcement reveal.
I missed the first one as well. Thinking about getting this one since the likeness looks to be better than the first release.
Good. He deserves to be named.

lol, I'd guess if they ever actually made it, it'll be 15 - 25 k.

You Marvel Legends fans vote on their website yet?
"The fans at San Diego Comic-Con have spoken. Sixteen Marvel Heroes were up to become the new Marvel Legends figure, but now only four remain! The champions are Darkhawk, Angela, Symbiote Spider-Man and Mysterio and now it is up to you to vote for your favorite and choose who becomes Hasbro’s next Marvel Legend!"
http://marvel.com/news/toys/24886/vote_for_the_new_hasbro_marvel_legends_figure_and_win
I would be cool with either Darkhawk, Symbiote Spider-Man or Mysterio. Went with Darkhawk figuring he is the least likely to show up in future waves.

Symbiote Spider-Man is totally getting made.
This is my biggest problem with the poll. Like, no shit Symbiote Spidey is running away with it, he's only big name character on there, and at the same time, he doesn't need a fan poll to get made. Hasbro puts out 2-3 Spidey waves a year, even when there's no Spidey movie, and a black repaint of the Pizza Spidey mold is so easy for them to do that it's trivial.
I voted Darkhawk, because he seems like the one least likely to get made. Whole thing just feels like an excuse to throw a "Fan's Choice" sticker on an upcoming Symbiote Spidey they already started.
Poor Quasar never had a chance
Amazing, so hype for Drax now.

Fucking finally!!!
And it was a licensing issue.
Glad they were able to get it handled.
Would have hated to see everyone with an incomplete team.

Interesting choice to give Drax the red pants from the Ravagers outfits. If I was collecting the GotG figures that would really bug me since all of the other characters are in their original outfits.
They said its a prototype still, so that could change I guess when it officially releases.
I just got an email about this beast. Holy fuck

Well, I threatened pictures; Marvel Legends Ant-Man is actually a ton of fun to pose around.
I think the Ant-Man movie had some of the coolest costume designs out of the entire MCU so far; they looked so damn cool, both as a static piece, and even moreso in motion, doing crazy shrinking hijinks. Fortunately, the Marvel Legends figure is a full new sculpt to capture that, and it's pretty much perfect- the costume is covered in details across the front and the back, with a great, clean paintwork that really makes it pop... except for one major, major problem; his mask is wrong, and it's totally baffling. The entire exposed face should be covered by the piece on his chin. I know a lot of CG effect stuff can lead to weird figures because of unfinished early concepts getting changed in production (like the Red Skull figure for the first Cap having Hugo Weaving's black mocap suit nose pre-CG removal, or the first Bayformers having different heads), but from the test footage that was leaked a couple years ago, this design was mostly locked down for a good while. It's a bummer, because the exposed face really throws me off and looks terrible. It's a pretty easy fix, but that shouldn't excuse the design decision to begin with.
Still, that's nearly my only complaint with him. If I have any other issues, it's the plastic used on his hips and legs. They aren't quite as gummy and weak as the knees and elbows used for the Guardians figures, but they are noticeably weaker than the rest of his wavemates. As a result, his hips feel super lose and his knees don't support him very well, so he falls over easy and doesn't do a great job holding a pose. It's nowhere near as bad as the Guardians figures though, and those were ultimately okay. Aside from that, I've had a ton of fun just fiddling around and posing him.
He even comes with a bunch of awesome accessories! We never get those with Legends anymore. He gets a really tiny Ant-Man and Yellowjacket, and an Antony that the tiny Ant-Man can ride on. It's a really neat addition that I never would have expected ahead of time, and it's nice that, while we're not getting a proper Yellowjacket for a bunch of d-list villains with no ties to Ant-Man, he can at least get some kind of representation here. We should really have gotten Yellowjacket instead of a Tiger Shark or something though; his design was too cool to just ignore.
As far as I'm concerned though, this is almost a perfect Legends figure. A fixed facemask and tighter hips, and he'd have been one of the best figures in a top notch year for the line. As it is, he's still a really, really awesome figure. Looking forward to picking up the 4" version and having him posed to look like he's changing sizes on the shelf.

That's photoshop, the 1/6 scale Millennium Falcon is just for toy shows, they're not selling it.
man, not sure if I should pick up the EX-Gokin Grendizer or not. My biggest problem is with the blue and purle. Wish it was more muted. Thing is there's no guarantee that the eventual recolor would work with me, especially if they go black with it. What do you guys think?
Also, it looks like Fewture's next EXGokin project is Raideen. This could be very, very cool.

Thanks for the pictures. I now want to pick him up haha. He reminds me of a Kamen Rider
Dragon is the super root for me. I ust can't deide which version I prefer. I don't like the blue on the original but the red in the recolor is too dark.

Go buy the Capullo figures. Best line they've done, but BTAS is looking like it might overtake it.

Definitely buying the TAS figures, Capullo look pretty good.
Went ahead and bought the 2pack with Katana(and Wonder Woman)
really wish they had a more updated Cass Batgirl or a Batwoman.

There's a new Batwoman coming I believe. Or there will be once her DC animated movie comes out.
