Benty, how hard would it be to make your own clear/translucent heads?

@rishoutfield Technically not hard at all. I haven't done it in a while, but it's no different than regular heads.

He sure did. I am getting that figure and it’s going right into my Danzig display.

This was definitely an awesome surprise!  But instead of just enjoying the moment, it opened Pandora's Box of wondering what other characters we thought were off limits they might secretly have in the works.  Micronauts? ROM? Something what I haven't thought of?

Vision was probably my big winner from SDCC. Cool to see an animated Smythe, too.

The funny thing is, I remember when they hinted at "Crystal" in one of the tweets, prior to the showing, everyone else said it was for Crystal. But I sarcastically said that it was for Crystar, because he was made out of crystal. I never thought that I would've been correct, though. 😆

Vision would have won for me if they had sculpted the gloves and boots. 

 

I think the X-Men '97 figures were the most exciting for me, if not just for their potential to be re-used as comic versions. We're so close to the perfect Magneto.

Hopefully the Crystar sculpt leads to Martinex. It may not the exact chiseled Martinex look we'd like, but painted just right it can probably pass.

Hopefully they will make The Green Crossbow guy and use this body for a decent Ice-Man and get that right the first time instead of the obligatory 3rd times the charm triple dip cash grab.

I don't pick up many Legends lately, but Crystar has me excited.  If they added a Warbow figure, that would be an amazing extra to go with him.  Crystar is possibly my favorite Marvel Legends reveal in years.

Crystar was a great surprise. He looks awesome. Definitely hoping for Rom. 

I was impressed by all the Legends reveals, like the entire Mindless Ones wave.

Best of show for me would probably be a tie—for ML it’s Detroit Steel! Awesome reuse of the MCU Iron Monger. 

And Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo! That is the Mark 4 armor that I have wanted for decades. And it’s sculpted by Mayshelf, one of my favorite sculptors, who also sculpted Marvel Select Titanium Man. Dynamo looks great. But at the same time, it’s bittersweet, because I suspect this makes it less likely that we will get this Dynamo in Marvel Legends. 

Since Marvel Legends began, my dream was just to get four characters—Modular Armor Iron Man, classic Ultron, Classic Titanium Man, and classic Crimson Dynamo.

I’m very excited for Crystar. I never in a million years thought he’d be on the table. And like many others, this gets my hopes up for a Legends ROM at long, long last. Especially since Hasbro and Marvel appear to have reach agreements to reprint both his series and Micronauts (who I’m also hoping for).
