Got thinking that this might be a good way to get as a 10" to 12" Watcher, a character still never done in Legends (apart from the What If...? Animated) and I assume most folks use the Select version. But time for a Legends version I think.

@fac I wouldn't mind getting that classic fathead in legends, especially if he's a little taller than select's. And Aron The Rogue Watcher too while they're at it.

Likewise. I don’t have the Select figure so I am currently Watcherless. So I’d be all-in.

How big should Watcher be compared to Galactus? The MS works for me.

Uatu’s height varies. Sometimes he’s close to human scale, others he’s as big (or bigger) than Galactus.

I don't want a 20" version, but I guess I'd like his chin to be slightly above the top of the head of a Hulk or Juggernaut or so...which probably would put him at about 12"? Nothing wrong with the Select really but I think Hasbro could do better at this point.

I'm in the same boat.  I have the What If baf, but it's not the classic Watcher I want.

Yeah -  honestly I feel like the Marvel Select figure is pretty much perfect for my needs.    I understand people wanting Legends to do their own, and I wouldn't say no to that,  but I'm not in a hurry because I really like the one I have.    I think anything bigger than 10" would be too big honestly.   He's not a character that needs to overwhelm a display.    I do agree that the What If version is not satisfying to use as Uatu in a comic display.

I regret missing out on the Select reissue, because I agree with @panthercult in that he'd be fine without Legends needing to do their own (my opinion of both Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, and Annihilus as well).

@thor-el 

I had that Uatu a long time ago but never made any effort to get another. Just figured ML would get to him one day and...yyyyyeah. I could settle with Select's figure though, easy.

But that Crimson Dynamo armor, on the other hand, is one I still really wanna see ML take a crack at in his classic comic red -- and even more so if they finally get around to making Gremlin's Titanium Man!

Yay! I love it so much when the website randomly logs me out for no reason. Fun!!

But back on topic, I'm with you on the Gremlin Titanium Man armor. I love that design, and would be eager to see it in Legends. I'm sure I'd buy the Dynamo as well, but the Select figure is going to be tough to top.

Select Dynamo is just too big for me with ML

I get what you are saying... and then I think of an image like this - and the Select figures work for me

CD doesn't look that much bigger than IM in that image. If they were standing up straight, they'd be close in height. There's an obvious difference with Titanium Man. MS TM definitely could pass with ML, but MS CD ain't gonna work in my book.

I’m fine with Titanium Man. He’s supposed to be a massive lumbering machine. Sort of a mid century Communists knock off version of IM without the technical savy. I never thought of CD as more than a guy in armor.
