Lots of fun stuff there. Can't believe they're making ROM - I'm not a super-fan but I know so many people who are desperately wishing for ROM in Legends that I'm psyched he made the cut. Lockjaw and Crystal has got to make a record-breaking number of Fwooshers happy (myself included). Feels like they've been in the top ten since I first found this place!
Totally get the annoyance about buying a figure we already got, but Wong's been in my top ten forever and Dr. Strange is, honestly, one of those figures they can just keep repainting and tweaking and I keep buying him. He's up there with Wolverine for me for figures I'm just an easy mark for with variants.
Cool to see another Punisher version (I was just messing around with the one that came with the motorcycle a few years back). And I love to see them do random, c-list characters, but I can't help it, every time I look at Bushwacker I think of a certain Boys character and I hate myself for it.
I hope Quicksilver isn't too bad to get. I'm VERY happy with the Family Matters version, but I always appreciate having a variation or two of a character I really like. Easy preorder for me if Walmart doesn't screw it up.
Do you think that the teases are Bailey Briggs Spider-Boy, & 90s Kaine?
I might kiss the whole team on the mouth if they made 90’s Kaine so I hope so, but I can’t find any images of him with a spider of that sort on his arm, what makes you think it’s him?
EDIT: After seeing it mentioned on Twitter, it looks like the arm of Spider-Man Unlimited. Maybe one day Kaine….
Wish they had done Zom head/hands instead of the Dormammu head for Strange
It's great to see a (classic) comic Punisher on a newer body. Lots of cool accessories and love the hand options and faces as well. Great figure overall. I just have two problems; the first is just that I have never cared for all-black Punisher. Give me this figure with the classic skull, white boots, and white gloves, and I'd be insanely more excited for it. I know this one is accurate, and I remember those issues - I just don't love the look of it. In fact, I would say I like the look it a LOT less in action figure form than in the actual comic.
The other glaring issue is Captain Hentai-hand. I don't want that figure. I have no interest at all in that character. And I can't imagine a world where I pay two-pack prices solely to get a Punisher that I'm less than massively enthusiastic about. Real bummer, if I'm being honest.
I hope we get a single-carded repaint of that figure at some point, but even then I fear he won't get to have the extra head and all the hands.
Well, if you don't like the all-black Punisher, why even be bothered by who is included in the pack with him? Certainly, Punisher is still a viable character in ML. And certainly, they'll offer different versions of him. Looking at pics of him from the display, I'm not really in love with the teeth belt. They look like he just made a cheap cosplay foam piece and stuck it to his belt. They aren't ammo pouches or have any real depth. Not sure how I feel as they're kind sticking out to me now. I always prefer white gloves/boots for Punisher, but I don't mind some variations to him. You could argue all black makes sense as the skull is what you'll see most.
Bushwacker is an interesting choice. I remember him from way back when he first appeared. Not someone I'm clamoring for, but I find him more interesting than say Jigsaw, who I never cared for.
What's up with the sickly looking Dr Strange head. I like that his symbol really pops compared to his last figure. But I'm not really feeling a need to buy another Dr Strange pack. Not at full price anyway
@ashtalon I should have been clearer: I like but don't love all-black Punisher and think it actually looks worse in figure form than in the comics (where I don't mind it, but again - it isn't my preferred look and not something I'd be asking for if they just didn't make it).
That's why I care about the figure he's packed with. I'd like to get him, but I'm not crazy enough about him to pay for two figures to get him.
Even now I could probably say it better, but I'm fixing some computer issues while foruming so my mind is a bit everywhere.
I'd favor an update on the trench coat Punisher from the epic heroes wave.
Bats and Wong 2-Pack with a Strange accessory is my favorite. Glad to see ROM will have a full range of motion.
Definitely excited for Colossus and the Deadpool & Wolverine figures. I'll probably buy any figures from that, though I haven't seen the movie just yet. Hopefully early next week. I'll also probably get at least 2 Quicksilvers, 1 to keep on card and one to swap heads with the Family Matters Quicksilver.
The cloak and legs on Strange are new, right?
@theknightdamien Would be easy to get more than half the cost of the set for Punisher alone on the after market. Or wait; they will do a white boot/glove one at some point.
Amazing reveals!
Rom is huge for me!! I have wanted a figure of him and all other Spaceknights for decades ! Amazing to finally get him in Legends! Can we get Starshine, and other Galadorian Spaceknights, too?! Such a huge wish fulfillment for me.
Dr. Strange and Wong look incredible. Who said that Wong was posed like Krillian—love that pose!
Crystal and Lockjaw look fantastic and are must-haves!
Dragon Man looks amazing!
Bushwaker is an an excellent Punisher villain!
They are all winners to me.
And finally Outriders! They have essentially the same design in both comics and the MCU! Finally Thanos get his army! These figures look super cool.
I'm curious to see how they price Dragon Man. $100 seems fair to me. He's a seriously impressive hunk of plastic.
This Punisher is cool but I think I'll wait for the inevitable single release with white boots and gloves. I have no interest in Bushwhacker and to be honest I don't really care for his uhhh...flesh tubes
