I saw two Iron Man, one Beyonder and one Titana at Target yesterday.  Titana was the standout, she looked very nice.  I have zero connection to her and I'd really have no place for her on the shelf so I left her for the next guy.  Beyonder also looked really well done, I know he's the main villain for a classic storyline, I probably should have picked him up but I left him too.

More often than not Hasbro's approach to Iron Man figures is substitute "metallic" for "shiny plastic-y".  I wish that wasn't the case.  I think I'd have a lot more Iron Man figures.

My Target had all but Cap and Spidey. I picked up "Roller Skates" Iron Man, Beyonder and Titania without hesitation while they were on sale for $18.74 each. I left Wolverine because I hate that look. Still have Cap on pre-order from BBTS and Pulse, whichever fulfills first if I don't find him in the wild before then. 

Titania and Beyonder probably both are right around the bottom of my Top 10 favorite Marvel Legends figures of 2024. I'm stoked to have both.

Update: I just got a notification that Cap is shipping today from Pulse. Of course it's basically the same email they sent on the 20th and that didn't happen....

I still haven't seen these in a store despite hunting pretty regularly. No updates to the Pulse order beyond them sending emails saying that they were charging and the new estimated delivery dates bumped to 11/20. We are nearly a week past that, and I have no idea if they actually shipped or not, now that Pulse seems to be using DHL instead of FedEx.

Pulse sent an email saying Titania is shipping today. Hope she does. She my most wanted on this wave by far.

Beyonder is the only one I've lucked out in finding so far - does he have the peachiest skintone we've seen in a long time? Or is it the contrast against his white outfit?

I love this outfit - trying to figure out what/who else it could be used for.

FWIW, these seem to be available for preorder again on Amazon for shipping around New Years.  I just preordered Cap and Spidey. 

EDIT:  Gone again

The only 2 that I haven't seen in person yet are Cap and Spidey. Cap I've still got pre-ordered. I have no interest in Spidey. On my weekly trip to Target today the only one left after their buy one get for 50% off sale is one lone Beyonder.

Someone on reddit corrected Titania to be comic accurate: https://old.reddit.com/r/MarvelLegends/comments/1h4us14/i_giveth_one_shirt_i_taketh_another/

I'm not horrendously bothered by the cover-up, but I do like my figures to be comic accurate and this looks fantastic. I might have to give it a go.

@akatsuki 

Those pictures are fantastic!

That Secret Wars picture sure could use a Volcana.  Sure hope she's in the works.

@puckace Thank you! Titania came out great! With the current Fwoosh interface, I have a hard time posting photos and text at the same time without getting logged out. I agree with you that Volcana is so necessary, especially now that we are so close to completing the Secret Wars lineup!

Titania came out great! Love the powerful, muscular sculpt. She’s got a lot of lean Mass in her legs. It’s cool look. And she has a great angry face sculpt. 

Nice height and proportions. She’s taller than a lot of characters but a bit shorter than She-Hulk which seems right. But I really want an update of her husband, Absorbing Man.

Yes I'd be all over a wimpy looking Owen.  The current Molecule Man is way too big and I don't dig the head sculpt. But it's better than nothing.

Fantastic pics as always, @akatsuki. I can’t wait for mine to arrive. Beyonder arrived here today, but it’s Titania that I’m really excited for.

Looks like I put a stress line in Titania's ankle peg. It's probably not serious, but it's one of those toy OCD issues I bet most of us have. I can't see it, but I know it's there ...
