Great info, John! Ha, I knew folks were jumping the gun in judging Hasbro. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Hasbro does with the Legends line. I don't collect all them, but I've bought the characters I like best: Banshee, Colossus, both X-23s, both Visions, the compiled Sentinel (which is completely awesome). I'm hoping for a Mysterio done proper someday and not the skinny Spidey line one that was released a while back. I was a Mego nut when I was a kid, and I almost envy my second-grade nephew who LOVES all the Marvel figures.

Like you, John, I like being able to get a figure out of its container in less than two minutes. Sometime, I felt like I needed a blowtorch to get the Toybix Legends out.

I have a feeling they are going to be AWESOME!

Jesse also said that Toy biz were going to do away with including comics in the package as well.

I got all the new Legends and I really like them. The quality is great! I love the 'clicky' joints and the plastic is real cool. The figures feel very strong to me. I also LOVE the new packaging. I can pop out a figure in 5 seconds.

wow, i didnt know that about the toybiz sculpting the hasbro first two lines...maybe they did it on purpose to make people hate hasbro...haha
anyway, hopefully the 3rd line from the marvel legends will be awesome! cant wait to see who they pick to sculpt...

Or they could have given Hasbro the reject sculpts.

I suspect Has-blow rejects Toybiz sculpt, all Has-blow looking for is saving money, save from sculpt, save from articulation, save from production quality and save from customer's own cost...

I dont buy that for a minute. The quality is SO far below Toybiz.

If you were a company that just acquired the Marvel license, why would you put out the previous companies sculpts and stake YOUR reputation on them. Doesnt make sense.

Hey Rider, I put up the MSelect Moon Knight you sent me dude, what do ya think?

Here's an isolated shot:

(sorry to go off topic, but I wanted to give a good thank u!)

As for the hasbro ML... eh, I'm not too happy w/em either. Thing that really stinks is if you were a die-hard ML collector, now all the packaging is different... so if you had a WALL O' LEGENDs, it's be a bit of an eyesore now.

I guess you could start a new 'frame' though, with the new boxing around the old boxing. hmm.

Ryche, do you go to the Marvel section at Fwoosh.net? Thats where Jesse Falcon of Toybiz has a question and answer thread and he says Toybiz sculpted the first 2 waves of the Hasbro Marvel Legends. Not sure about the 3rd wave though. You can get alot of great info from him regarding the Hasbro Legends line but nothing character specific. He was brought on board to Hasbro to help with the transition and some of Toybiz sculptors are working on the new Hasbro legends line. He said that the actual new Hasbro line doesnt emerge until wave 3 or 4 I believe. I have high hopes for them.

Bah! next thing you'll be saying is that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone!
