Nice. I'm not too big a fan of the Ultimate version of Green Goblin, so I was thinking about trying to turn mine into Satannish or a Cancerverse Hulk.

Cool. I've seen some people turn him into a really nice Doomsday.

Preorders for Wave 1 of the Avengers: Age of Ultron Marvel Legends are going up online. I just put in a preorder for a full case of 8. Cases include all of the figures, even variants/swaps. I'll have to get an extra Thor and Iron Fist to build both BAFs, Odin and All-Father Thor, but those shouldn't be too hard to find in stores. Happy to have that done with and not have to worry about driving around and hunting down hard to find figures.  |

Did you guys collect the old Toy Biz Marvel Legends? I had a few and they were AWESOME! I feel Hasbro's are still pretty good, but not as much as Toy Biz's.
I also remember all the craziness and prices on some of the variants people were trying find.

Yeah, I've been collecting the line since back in the Toybiz days. Toybiz did some nice figures, but they were kinda hit and miss on the QC and they tended to over articulate some figures to a fault. But, they weren't afraid to make a lot of unique sculpts for figures. I really like Hasbro's newer stuff, the only thing I really miss from Toybiz is more shading. Hasbro
s figures can be a little flat at times.

I guess the toybiz line are the ones before marvel legends but looked just like the latter Marvell legends line even the packaging was similar right? I have a spiderman from back then which is a great figure except the torso/chest piece broke I'm going to fix him one day. They did something really cool with him in that they sculpted over the joint pegs making him look more refined in my eyes this is something they don't even do on the new ones coming out which I wish they would. Here's what I'm talkig about. I wonder y they don't do it anymore?  |

The earlier lines were the "Classics" lines. They had Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and X-Men Classics but they kinda got absorbed into the Marvel Legends line after it got more popular. Hasbro has made a few figures with diaphram joints like that, but it's mainly on all of their female figures or characters like Spider-Man. They stick to the ab-crunch and swivel waist, because they say it gives greater range of motion and keeps the sculpt intact.

Antman Legends 6" line has been confirmed. BAF for the wave is Ultron. Also, a 3rd Avengers Legends line is confirmed. Rumours are saying the BAF is Hulkbuster.

I don't really like the way Ultron looks in Age of Ultron, so I'm not too interested in that. I would probably only bother with the new Hulkbuster if it ended up looking really good since I already have the ToyBiz one.
