I’d go bananas for an Invaders set, even more so if they could squeeze in Baron Blood.

Thanks for the shout out, @beamish!  Yep, 2023 was going to be the year for Invaders fans.  Then the idea got nixed at the last second and we got the Avengers West Coast set instead. That's okay because I love me some Avengers.  Getting more Avengers is never a tough pill to swallow. 

But I've always felt that a line that calls itself MARVEL LEGENDS should include the characters that were there at the beginning and kicked this whole thing off.  Jim Hammond was on the cover of the very first Marvel Comic in August of 1939. 

Yes, I would love to see the more Golden Age in Marvel Legends.  The original Human Torch and Toro, Captain America and Bucky, the Sub-Mariner, Spitfire (We already have Union Jack so there's a victory right there), the Whizzer, Miss America, the Golden Age Vision, the Golden Age Angel and so many more.  There was no shortage of cool characters in those days.

And I guess it would be too much to hope for some villains.  The aforementioned Baron Blood, Master Man, Warrior Woman, U-Man, Iron Cross and Agent Axis would be fun. 

Anyway, thanks again for the shout out!  And thanks for everything you do around here!  It's much appreciated by many of us!

No idea why the hell it wouldn’t let me put two images in the same post, but here is the rest of the leaked image and the likeliest inspiration. You can see the pattern on the skirt matches the statue, but the horns are different, so it’ll likely be an amalgamation of different looks. I am stoked for a properly chonky Allfather. 

I will be thrilled if it’s inspired by that statue’s  look. As much as I love the two handbook images, the statue is also a suitably magnificent All-Father. And given the chunkiness of the boots and waistband/loincloth, it looks like our upcoming Odin will indeed have the mass he should. 

in anticipation, I bought the Silverhawks Mon-Starr throne on clearance from BBTS with the intention of painting it gold for Odin.

That Bowen Odin is a perfect representation, sort of a mix between the classic Kirby and the modern Simonson/Adams looks. 

I would kindly ask for Muninn and Huginn that hover, and an excellent hefty Gungnir, like the statue has.

Sign me up for an Invaders set, too. Add in a member who's less obvious, like Spitfire, Miss America, Spitfire, Destroyer. Dig deep, Hasbro.

And, yeah, like Beamish said, where's Triton already? They have all the parts for his body (except maybe his arm tube things); they just need his head and some webbed hands and feet.

One a year at this point should be as long as we have to wait to finish the Inhumans. There's only 7 main characters, half are done already, all but Gorgon and Lockjaw are mostly re-use, and they've been stringing them along forever!

That better be a Rachel Summers Phoenix coming up.  Also you can tell which people have frantically been checking daily to see if the forums are back up.
