That image makes me sad if that is truly a hint for upcoming Legends figures. Not one single character that hasn't been done in Legends before.
Like - Colossus and Kitty from Astonishing make sense, so fine. People want it and they need to finish that line up, so are we getting Beast soon?
We have a great Onslaught BAF figure. We also have the older "bug" version too. I get that he goes with the MvC theme they are doing, but I can't say I'm eager for a new Onslaught.
Emma Frost - there are looks of hers we don't have, so again, fine. But there are plenty of unique X-Men that haven't been done yet that I'd like to have as a figure before another Emma... Pixie maybe?
And Lizard. Sigh. I have as much Lizard as I will ever need. We got the toon adjacent figure that can also stand in for old school Lizard and we have the more monstrous Lizard figures as well. Don't need another one.
And Nimrod? I mean... I guess this one will be a pink version since the one we got previously was white... At least maybe this time it won't be in a 3-pack
But every single character pictured I have in my collection already - most of them more than once. As excited as I thought the last tease was with Warbow, Werewolf by Night, and Phantom Rider - I guess it was bound to have something like this to balance it out.
@panthercult I totally agree. I think that there should be a REQUIREMENT that there has to be at least one previously never done before character in EVERY SINGLE WAVE. The fact that this line has gone on for more than 20 years and there are still so many key characters to never get a figure is an absolute travesty.
Would LOVE for the next Emma to be in her Gen X costume. But I guess her next figure will be the 97 version no?

We are in agreement once more! 😎
As a 90s kid, 99% of my nostalgia for Emma Frost/White Queen is from Generation X. Reading the comic, collecting the trading cards and one of my earliest "hunts" for an action figure. I gotta have her pantsuit in Legends form.
Count me as a big plus one for this version of Emma. If we have to get her again (and of course we do), give us something we haven't had before in Legends.
I know the Morrison Era folks will riot at not getting the X-boobs costume.. but honestly I'm not sure I even want it. It's such a horrible design
How do the little pieces covering her nipples even stay on? It's the most ludicrous, least practical outfit she ever put on and this is a lady who spent a LOT of time in white bustier, panties and fur collared cape.
Maybe one or more of the latest rumors are SDCC exclusives, like a scantily clad Emma that wouldn't be offered at retail or an Emma/Onslaught 2-pack.
I would much rather have an Emma variant as the SDCC exclusive than someone like Shanna.
Uggh... Emma Frost / Onslaught 2-pack would be so depressing for me as the exclusive. I legitimately don't need another Onslaught and I have several Emma figures that I like - though there are a number of versions I'd still buy. And did Emma and Onslaught ever even interact in the comics? I'm pretty sure they didn't in the original Onslaught storyline, but i realize there may have been some subsequent exploration of Onslaught where Emma was involved.
Anyway, I hope it's not that personally
Nothing on this new leak list moves me. I would probably get Nimrod if he was done up with a different deco than the 3-pack version. Because I am a sucker for Sentinels. However that would be an "on sale" pick up.
Colossus and Kitty does nothing for me. I might be interested in Colossus, but that particular look isn't my favourite and I would prefer an update to his classic look. Kitty is "meh" to me as a character.
Emma Frost.......zzzzz
I like my Retro Lizard and don't really want another version, but I will wait and see what he looks like.
An updated Onslaught would be ok, but definitely would only be a sale price purchase, and please not the bug version.
I would go for a more improved Astonishing X-Men Emma Frost.
Nothing on this new leak list moves me.
Likewise. Personally, I hope this latest list is accurate as it'll all be one big giant pass for me, and my wallet can breathe a sigh of relief.
It's funny - the very meh-ness of this most recent list is the thing most convincing me it's probably legitimate. Hasbro makes so many unexciting (to me) choices for this line that this grouping of characters makes perfect sense for them.
Obligatory grain of salt:
