Mr. Cleary....Mr. Sosa....

are you saying these things because because you are involved in the prototype sculpts of these pieces?

If you are, I mean no disrespect to either of you personally. The main issues are with character selection, scale and articulation. These items are well out of the sculptors hands. I think that the Hasbro phase I Emma Frost has received the most negative comments. The two most mentioned points are her size, and the articulation of the neck.

Unless the scale issues are resolved, and the articulation and ball joints methods are tweaked, these products will continue to be inferior to Toybiz. Hasbro has mainly worked on lines in a smaller scale with less articulation. I understand there needs to be a period of adjustment, but there are some serious issues that got past their quality control in phase I. (and by the looks of it phase II as well by the appearance of She Hulk...)

Its all well and good to say..."stay tuned, you will like what you see in the future", but when they make the ballsy move to RAISE prices from $7.86 (wal mart) to $9.96, me expections go UP , not down.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I just have a good feeling. I'm a big Legends fan and I see the upward swing things are taking.

But a big thing to get past also is the waste of a charater.It really plays in the back of your head.
Emma will not be made again in the legends line again i bet.thats one big blonde gap in my x-men legends collection that wont be filled.It annoying.

I really hope shulkie looks good when i see her up close.

I'm glad some people aren't liking the Hasbro Legends. It'll be easier to find the ones I want. What I find interesting are the people who scream how awful the figures are but buy them anyway.

That is what really soured me, too. We waited so long for Emma, and props to them for finally doing it...but the result was a God-awful figure. No thanks. I'll stick w/ my Marvel Select version.

Yeah the marvel Select Emma is lovely and has a great diorama.But she slightly bigger than legend scale.
The one thing about shulkie select version is she has a crazy bendy leg lol.
