Lots of new / previously cancelled Legends figures... many of them apparently store exclusives (I saw Wal-Mart exclusives and others labeled as TRU), but not all...

Heroes Reborn Iron Man

original (green and white uniform) Captain Mar-Vell (!)

Adam Warlock

Alpha Flight's Guardian / Vindicator (Mac, not Heather)... he looks great!

Kang (probably that same Kang I spent an idiot's $40 to get from the aborted FF2 wave)

an Ares build-a-figure

The ML Icons (1/6 scale) figures of Colossus, Nightcrawler, Phoenix and DD are there, as TRU exclusives (or are half of them Diamond exclusives?)

Nova
Tigra
(still no sign of the previously announced USAgent in the pics I checked, though)

new 6" figures of classic Iron Man (2-packed with SHIELD's Maria Hill) and the Vision (and they look better than ToyBiz's)

Dum-Dum Dugan (2-packed with a red-costumed ninja) and Sharon Carter (2-packed with Stark in a stealth suit)

new comics-style FF figures

lots of new Iron Man variations (including one with him in red, white and blue armor, holding Cap's shield)

I need a second job to pay for all this stuff...

Why do DCs action figures just blow Marvel's away????

DCD has also done some figures that blow, period... from the Green Arrow / Speedy boxed set to the entire Identity Crisis line... my god, the Black Canary figure in that line has got to be the most laughably awful superhero figure ever made!

On the average, DC sculpts are better, but I would compare the best figures of the Legends line (like the Galactus, Apocalypse and Giant-Man build-a-figures, Black Panther, the Face-Off Hulk, Genis-vell, the Hasbro ML Kang, Mr. Fantastic, Silver Surfer) to DCD's best.

The Ares is a BAF.

The giant BAF are the best (Apocalipsis, Galactus, Giantman, Foom & Sentinel). I really want a giant Yellow Jacket and Living Tribunal

I wish that they'd stop with those Transformer figures though.

They take all that's good - Transformers and Marvel characters - and make them bad.

Love the DC 3 3/4" figures but, the Marvel 3 3/4" figures are going to blow them away!!! their like mini marvel legends with most of the articulation at half the size!!

plus Foom will look HUGE next to them!!

Not only that - they are way too expensive!

OK, looks like another line caught me napping.

Got any pics or links?

I want to do a Secret Wars diorama with Galactus fighting the Legends Showdown figures, but without customs, there wouldn't be any Nightcrawler, 80s-accurate Cyke, Rogue, Storm, Photon, Hawkeye or She-Hulk. Sounds like the new line may take care of some of that.:thumbs2:
