Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo!
Overall, this Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo is much like the Marvel Select Titanium Man for me—immediately jumps to one of my favorite figures in my collection! But it does not obviate my desire for these favorite villains of mine to get Marvel Legends figures, too, because I would buy any and all figures of these characters.
I'm still waiting for my Captain America. 😤
Just received my Dynamo today, and all I can say is he’s absolutely amazing. Congrats to both you and the Select team for this figure, @msword. Both he and Titanium Man have set the bar so high that I think Hasbro will be hard-pressed to offer better versions of these characters.
- From what I can see, he works well with Legends Iron Man, even if he's slightly larger! Kind of doubt that Hasbro will ever make these versions of Dynamo and Titanium Man anyway!
That would be a serious shame if Marvel Legends didn't make these classic characters just b/c another company made some out of scale versions to their line. They should take it as a challenge like the Destroyer.

Maybe this is your punishment for always getting your figures earlier than everyone else in the thread. 😆
I'd prefer they concentrate on oversized charcters that can be displayed with my MLs.
Never gonna happen. 🙂
I totally get that, MSWord! You've got your own product line, scale and business model. I fully respect and appreciate that and I know that we appreciate your participation in the forum! There is certainly a market for what jroug mentioned, though of course.
The majority of the Diamond Marvel Select product that I've personally bought was because it was stuff Hasbro/ToyBiz hadn't made at the time that I could fudge into my collection: Mephisto, Chitauri, Brood/Skrull soldiers, Thanos w/ Death, Hawkeye w/ Lucky the Pizza Dog, Immortal Hulk, Illuminati Super Skrull, Titanium Man, all of the zombies, etc. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting. I even bought Ironheart and Squirrel Girl statues/dioramas as placeholders for a bit. Crimson Dynamo is a pre-order for me because Hasbro hasn't made that version yet. I probably would have bought the Weapon H statue if it wasn't a little too big and quite a bit too expensive for me. I've always bought something when it made sense to add to my existing collection. Hell even Mezco got me to buy Lockjaw and I've never, ever bought anything else from them!
Thanks again for participating in the forum and don't let us guys that primarily collect Hasbro stuff give you too much grief!
Destroyer is proof that Hasbro will still make figures even if Select made an excellent one. Each has their place.
Why would anyone doubt Hasbro getting around to these versions of Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man. Maybe they'll make other versions first. Or maybe they'll make these versions next. Either way, they'll certainly make them. Especially now that Iron Man is popular.
Also why would MS only concentrate on supplementing ML via larger characters? Doesn't make sense as a business model. Especially as any A/B list characters they make certainly sell better than an oversized C/D list character which fits in with ML.
Really intrigued to see if/when MS finally gets around to a classic 70s Iron Man. The way MS has been hitting it out of the park lately, it should make an outstanding figure.
