I suppose a modern Iron Man suit (that doesn't suck) would be a good addition to the line, but what I would personally like to see before any more Iron Man suits is a classic War Machine.
These pics aren't new but I thought there might be some people in the thread that haven't seen them. There are also lots more on DST's website.
First up is a picture showing Dynamo's exact height. Hopefully it clears up any confusion since certain sites were listing different sizes. I have no idea why he lacks hands in this image, but what I do know is that there are going to be some disappointed Marvel Legends fans. I, however, see this as an absolute win.
He comes with some awesome hand blast effects, which I don't think were shown in the initial pictures. They match the visor blast really well (see the website for a pic of them together).
Lastly, I just wanted to point out that the shoulder pads rotate so that they don't restrict the range of the arms.
How tall should Crimson Dynamo be in that armor? Looks like he’ll fit in really well with MS, which he’s obviously made for, but may be too big for ML.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Crimson_Dynamo_Armor_Mark_IV This has him at 6'10", so while the figure is too big for ML scale, it's really not by much.
For me that figure is too gorgeous to worry about it, and the advantage of being armor is that it's easy to justify.
Is it too early to start asking for MS to make the Gremlin's Titanium Man armor??
While I admit I’m disappointed by the height, I’m still going to get him anyway. I figure it’s too nice not to. He’ll make a good placeholder at the very least until and if Legends gets around to it.
Going back to the topic of the FF and a new Thing for a moment. I really feel like Ben has been blessed with a myriad of good to great figures from comic to movies in the general 6/7" scales, granted, a lot of them are brought down by gimmicks that impede articulation. Don't think that DST need to drop everything and redo theirs anytime soon, honestly. My main Thing is the current Hasbro mold of him, though I've had others before and have even picked one up today (to sacrifice his arms for a Super Skrull custom) that, again, is pretty serviceable.

I always loved that Thing figured based on Mike Wieringo's art - I wish I hadn't gotten rid of him way back in the day. How does he scale next to Reed at normal standing height?
I don't have a 7" scale collection, but Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman are both incredible and almost worth picking up in their own right. Torch looks as good or better than anything ML has done, but doesn't blow me away. If they came out with a great Thing to match the rest I'd probably pick up the whole lot to keep as their own thing.

Yep, honestly, this figure couldn't be more perfect, IMO. Thanks for the additional pics!
Great information, VWBeetle! Thanks! Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo looks fantastic! It’s a definite must-have for me. Looks like it will stand around the same height as Hasbro’s BAF Crimson Dynamo (which is representing a much larger armor).These pics aren't new but I thought there might be some people in the thread that haven't seen them.

The MS Dynamo looks like it will be a wonderful, impressive figure.
in terms of scale, it will be great with Marvel Select. In terms of scaling with Marvel Legends, it depends on how you pose and use perspective. I love Crimson Dynamo, so I want this figure regardless of scale. I still dream that Marvel Legends will get a Crimson Dynamo figure of this armor someday, too.

The figure pictured above is not the one based on Wieringo's art. That would be the Twist n Slam Thing from F4 Classics series two, linked here: https://www.cooltoyreview.com/TB_FFC_S2_ThingTnS.asp
The Thing in Shinigami's photo is Thunder Launch Thing, from F4 Classics series one.
True. Had that Wieringo one for a few years as well, I think it was 7" even.
The Wieringo Thing was on the smaller end of most ML Thing figures at the time. Still a bit too tall, if you're going by official stats. Sculpt work was dead on Wieringo, but he had some CRAP articulation. Great for a Wieringo specific display (and they did make 'Ringo head sculpt of the rest of the team, plus Franklin!) but not much else. I'd say the Thunder Launch Thing is the best candidate for being upcycled from Toy Biz to Marvel Select. Best articulation, appropriate height for 1:10. Only weird thing is that head sculpt. Not the best. I'd swap for ML2 Thing, which is the absolute best Thing head sculpt of all time. I think even Alex Ross seems to use it as reference!
I think I'm fine with the scale for Crimson Dynamo in my Legends Collection, (helmet on, that's a big ass head!) I always think of the Soviet Armors being bigger to compensate for their lack of sophistication compared to Iron Man
I drew a line in the sand that if Hasbro didn't reveal a proper Bulski Titanium Man at Comic Con I was getting the Select version. Amazon sent me a damaged one, but he definitely was worth it. I may not have the opportunity with Dynamo since he appears t be a big hit. He looks great but he's definitely out of scale for Legends. For a bit of perspective, this figure is cheaper than what I paid for the Dynamo BAF I pieced together. For value, Marvel Select has made up a lot of ground on Legends.

I forgot about that one! You're absolutely right though. The headsculpt on Thunder Launch Thing is still absolutely Wieringo-inspired to my eye, and that's how I treated him in my collection since the other one had such limited articulation.
