Will there be a NYTF sneak peek night, like what they do with the comic cons?

Seeing Detroit steel come around makes me want hasbro to revisit bleeding edge, I think they could make the legs pinless, new pinless arms, and maybe a redesign of the torso for wider shoulders and a new head would be the icing on the cake, it's a good base to work off of as it was one of the first bulky guy in a suit pieces they did.

I'd also love an Ezekiel Stane or Modern Mandarin

For x men I'd like to know if VHS line is coming back, or if it's all moved to focus on 97, and if so will we see and 92 releases in that line to finish off the original series... a preview of wave 2 or some villains would be nice to see

And any follow up to the Spidey animated series line, would be nice to know if I should grab them or not

@lipsmack Yeah same here. I’d love a new Bleeding Edge Armor Iron Man now that we have Detroit Steel. 

And Ezekiel Stane’s armored form would be awesome to get in Legends!

I really want to see them finish out (or at least add to) some of these unfinished teams...

Wolfsbane - 90's X-Factor

Feral - 90's X-Force

Destiny - Brotherhood

Hepzibah and/or Raza - Starjammers (to be fair they just started the team this year)

Rachel - Excalibur

Atlas/Meteorite/Techno - 90's Thunderbolts

I would have said Namorita for New Warriors, but we all know how that went...

Add Marrina, Talisman, and Box for Alpha Flight

@andru honestly because they waited so long I feel like we need a full redo of x factor, Havok looks goofy with his pea head, multiple man is passable but the newer bodies are nicer and that new coat from gambit would be a good change. Strong guy is fine, but I'd like yellows more in line with the 275 3 packs. New forge makes old forge look like a Mctoy, and quicksilver could use an update and slightly smaller head

I would like to see Hasbro do a wave of deluxe figures.

When you say "full redo" do you expect Hasbro would release all at once or take another 4 years to get a not-quite-complete team?  No, no way I'm rebuying any of them.

I'd rebuy any that were improvements over the existing ones, but I'm certainly not agitating for it. We're one Wolfsbane away from getting a team that for 15 years I thought we'd never see in this line, and what we have so far is a solid representation of each character.

90s X-Factor is one of my favorite teams ever, and I would absolutely love to see Quicksilver, Havok and Polaris upgraded on newer bucks. But I'm not holding my breath on that. And given the cheap shit plastic they use on practically every figure these days, it's a double-edged sword.

What are you referring to here?  All I see when I look at almost every Legends release is a figure with tighter joints, better engineering, better design. and better QC than all of my figures from previous years.  I started a thread on this in the old forum, and maybe it's time to re-start it here.

I'm reminded of this every time I get an updated figure like Bishop and stand them up next to their prior release which in this example is the Sauron wave version.  That new buck KILLS the Hyperion mold, the joints on Hyperion Bishop were all looser back then than the usual tight ones we get now, and all of the sculpts and face prints look SO much better now.  And it's not like he's an exception--QC, engineering, and design across the line is usually better than ever. Certainly some sculpts are inferior and sometimes there are QC issues, but FAR less than in the past.

@enigmaticclarity  have to agree, I've had no breakages or major issues in years, the worst I've had that I can think back to is the new ant man's fist had the disk mis molded, very minor. Ever since pinless I feel the line made a quantum leap in quality and enjoyment, joints are always tight, maint being printed on helps a lot and the variety of bodies is at a good level. My pinned collection feels like a completely different toyline to me now, I'll re buy everything pinless if I can

Just jumping in to 3rd the feelings of modern legends being overwhelmingly better quality wise from earlier releases. Far cleaner paint apps, better faces, consistently tighter (but not stuck) joints and the newly sculpted stuff is consistently better than what they were doing years ago. I see people complain about the line and I'm baffled - it's literally better than it's EVER been besides price, and for what you're getting its hard to make too much of a stink. I buy way less than I used to but I haven't been disappointed in a Legends figure since maybe the Sabretooth from the Bonebreaker wave.

I haven't even had any QC issues in a few years, which I cannot say about some of the other hasbro action figure lines (that I also love, no shade thrown).

I'm not the best test case because I don't buy nearly as many figures as most folks here, but my 60th Anniversary Hawkeye is gummy. I don't think ML has entirely fixed that particular issue yet.

The other figures I've purchased this year, Extremis Iron Man, Astonishing Cyclops and Emma, 60th Black Widow, and three-pack DD have all been fine.
