Not at all surprised they covered her up.

I must have this entire wave. Cap will have so many heads now when using Steve Rogers head and the neutral masked head from the 20th Anniversary Cap! Hands, Shields, oh my! Just a killer wave! Black costume Spidey on AF 15 body! Yes please! Man o man it will be a long wait for these because I want them now!

Is it confirmed that the blues/reds match between both figures?

Honestly I'm pleasantly surprised they gave us two new characters in this wave.   I wasn't expecting that.    I do wish they hadn't done the pink undershirt for Titania, but I guess I get it for something that may be hanging on a Target or Walmart peg.    

Beyonder surprised me simply because that character look didn't exist until Secret Wars II -  but I guess that was only a little more than a year later.    Still it's a welcome surprise.

 

I will be picking up the Wolverine and the black costume Spider-Man for sure.   Iron Man and Cap I feel like I have those versions well represented in my collection already and the accessories are cute but not essential.  

And the lenticular shields are still stupid.

 

I am hopeful that there may be a second wave of these figures done to give me at least the classic Falcon figure - and maybe a Volcana.         I know others want an updated Absorbing Man,  Wrecking Crew, Lizard,  -  and She-Hulk in her FF costume could work. 

Since Secret Wars took a full year to come out as a comic series 2025 is still the 40th anniversary of the series being published technically.   And 2025 is the 40th Anniversary of Secret Wars II debuting, so they can keep rocking it if they want.

Yeah, Titania’s lilac top isn’t a huge surprise, but it’s a fairly easy paint fix.

If they put out a second wave and include Volcana, I’d be pretty content.

Poor Cap, can't get a regular shield to save his life.

I do have to say that I like that they sort of subverted some expectations by putting the Monica/Doom 2-pack up and saying - we put this in the Avengers Anniversary series but it was sort of a preview of what's coming now since both of these looks were featured in Secret Wars.

 

And then didn't have the same Doom in the Secret Wars wave but gave us Titania and Beyonder instead.   Good work fellas

This wave is so...disappointing.  Titania is great, except for that silly lavender censored box.  I don't care about the Beyonder himself, as it's just such a boring design.   And this is twice now that a classic Cap doesn't come with a normal shield.  I feel like the Hasbro ML team is just trolling Cap fans at this point.  This wave just screams "wait for a discount."

Not the biggest Wolverine fan, but these head sculpts are fantastic.

If these showed up in a comic-color version it'd be a sure buy from me.

No but they look like it to me. Main differences I see are there is no shading to anything and the torso stripes are in a different arrangement. 2 red 3 white on this one and reversed on 20th. I think even if the blues aren't a perfect match it will be fudgeable. They look close to my eyes. I love that he is pinless!

  I use the Marvel Select Cap shield for my Cap. Looks perfect and is big.

I really think the Legends brand needs a few waves like this - big names, classic looks - to maybe hook some new fans. Next wave do Thor, Thing, Cyclops, Storm, Volcana and maybe a new Klaw, wave after that Hulk, Hawkeye, Torch, Mr Fantastic, Wasp, Ultron. Maybe revisit the Wrecking Crew as a boxset for fan channel, a Doc Ock and Lizard 2-pack, whatever - do the whole lineup in a year as a bit of a reset/entry point, and use fan channel for the lesser-known stuff the long timers want.

Yes... sort of.    Wolverine and Beyonder aren't currently in stock on Amazon - that's likely temporary.   They can all be had on BBTS and on Pulse
