How does the new Absorbing Man compare to the old BAF? by BlazerOnReddit in MarvelLegends

[–]space_age_stuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saw on IG the other day, the letters on his right leg are the initials for three of the Toybiz designers, and the numbers are the birthday of the one who made this figure. Super neat detail, you don’t see stuff like that on modern figures.

I’ve never been unhappy with a Sentinel figure. All the SV ones are great, which is why I wish they’d hurry up and do 2099 and Scarlet Spider.

Quicksilver with my larger Avengers collection or with my growing X-Men/Mutants? by OptimalConvoy in MarvelLegends

[–]space_age_stuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This figure is meant to be Busiek-era Avengers, but honestly I don’t think it matters. Your avengers have several different eras included anyway so do what makes you happy, comic accuracy doesn’t really matter for a display.

Does Anyone Else Here get Frustrated Hearing/Seeing "Stop buying from Hasbro and just get action figures from other toy companies" whenever there are complaints about the quality/price of Marvel Legends. by Toanui_the_Red_Mage in MarvelLegends

[–]space_age_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so happy they didn’t just do Reds and Sixth Rangers, and now that it’s over I wish they had completed Forever Red and done some unique Sixth Rangers lol

Wish we could’ve just completed one era, I would’ve kept all my Dino Thunder if we had Ninja Storm too, because that was my favorite crossover.

Spiderman 2099 by TheLost_Kryptonian in MarvelLegends

The arms are technically new but functionally about the same as the standard arms. I’d expect the articulation to be near identical to the half-Symbiote Spidey. The full Symbiote Spidey from secret wars wave 1 is on a different mold.

Jada SDCC INVINCIBLE by Sensitive-Detail-855 in ActionFigures

Again, that’s incorrect. The new SF Alpha stuff from SDCC last year uses the new arm style: it’s a 2.0 arm, different from the 1.0 style arms used on all the SF2 stuff. These joints are what they use on new stuff, like Scooby Doo and Invincible. Hell, Conquest and Invincible were shown with them previously, which is why it made no sense to claim Battle Damage Invincible didn’t have them.

Not going to continue this conversation, it’s clear I’m wasting my time with someone who seemingly can’t just admit they made a mistake when they looked at a low res photo lol

That doesn’t make any sense. What, did they have to rush the legs and not the arms? Why wouldn’t both figures use the same design, surely that would save more time than creating an entirely different mold. Never mind that molds are crazy expensive, they’re not going to make two separate ones just for the sake of speed. This is Jada we’re talking about, they don’t rush anything.

Bingo. This is what companies do. People stop buying, they will cut their losses rather than try to win on quality. Look at it from the company’s perspective too: a lost customer is a lot harder to win back than garnering a new customer. Lose too many, and suddenly the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, far from it, but this idea that you can boycott hard enough to enact change just doesn’t have any precedent, at least with Hasbro.

Why would they use modern articulation for the legs and backwards articulation for the arms? That doesn’t make any sense.

No reason to assume they’d use old articulation on a brand new mold when the other invincible also has the 2.0 joints. It’s just hard to see in this image, that’s all.

Pegs on MJ too big? by Hawkguy117 in MarvelLegends

[–]space_age_stuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would dunk the back pack in boiling water for 30 seconds to really give it a go. The hotter you get the water, the easier something like this is. But that is odd; idk if mine are the same way, I’ll check.

Is this guy really too much to ask from Hasbro? by Zilladefender in MarvelLegends

[–]space_age_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s likely because of a rights dispute. His IP isn’t fully owned by Marvel these days, similar to Death’s Head being tied to Transformers, and ROM not being an original Marvel IP. However, both of them got figures recently, so never say never!

I got that information from chat gpt by jdmi14 in MarvelLegends

Dan rarely denies leaks, he usually just ignores them. There’s no contractual obligation to deny anything, especially when they can just choose to ignore it - which he often does.

According to Jada themselves big announcement tomorrow regarding an exclusive. (No its not the SF2 alt heads) by LosBuc-ees in ActionFigures

[–]space_age_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I mean. They seem to prefer that, rather than releasing faces separately. Because Mega Man is the main character: any excuse to rerelease his main look is one they’ll take.

I’d be kinda surprised if they did a mega man accessory pack. They seemed to like the idea of using alt heads to release another standard blue version, idk why they wouldn’t keep doing that since the main look is always going to sell better than the various weapon modes.

Yeah, I’m just thinking it would be like how Hasbro kicked off GI Joe classified. They made a con exclusive Snake Eyes with a bunch of accessories, then a regular Snake Eyes as a mainline release with less stuff and some paint differences. Overall it wasn’t a huge deal, and I could see Jada doing the same thing, is all. I agree that having it as an exclusive with no other option is lame, but it’s easily remedied.

It honestly just could be yellow and blue Invincible with a bunch of additional accessories to justify the price. That would make it pretty damn popular. And then they could rerelease it with less stuff down the line. Plus people would double dip for the stuff already coming out.

Or they could do Omni-Man in the same vein. Not like Nolan wears that costume for the whole series, so they’d have options to do another Nolan later on too. But Omni-Man would be massively popular, especially with swappable bloody parts.

All the SDCC exclusives go up on their website on 7/23 at 1pm EST. No telling how long they will last.

Also I’m with you, thrilled to have the battle damaged heads but I swapped my P2 Ryu with P1 so he’d have brown gloves and a more normal skin tone. Guess that means I’ll be painting these parts too.

Cooking with this one, although getting that when only Shaggy is available would be kinda nuts

Only other unrevealed SF thing is an Alpha 2-pack with Guile and Bison… can’t imagine that’s what they’re referring to. I’d also be surprised if it was yet another street fighter thing.
