How well do these scale with Legends/Classified? I can see tons of uses for that General.
The swappable, blank name tag is a clever addition.
Still, my figure collection is just for front line fighters, so administration gets a pass from me.

Seeing them in person and just knowing the general goal for the line, they should match up perfectly with Classified
Missed this yesterday but General Brown isn't due till Q2 2025 (I'd expect later in 2025 based on FMF's previous history). Bill Murphy said that's because of him having more new tooling that the previous Wave 2 figures. I guess we can assume the same for most of the other wave 2 figures.
@boy_wonder Yeah these are designed to be the same size as classified (though there has been a slight size creep in classified since these were designed). I can't find the image but they've shown them off next to a Cobra Infantry figure
But, the characters it “looks like” I’d rather have officially in their own lines (by which I mean an official Classified Colton/Sharpe/Flagg and an official Marvel Legends TBolt Ross).
I understand this sentiment - but that wait for an official Legends Thunderbolt Ross could be looooooong - no figure of the character has ever been made in the 30 years of Marvel action figures by Toy Biz and Hasbro. (now cue the post that says "well technically Red Hulk.... sigh)
Colton and Flagg seem a little more likely in the relatively near future, and could even beat this figure to market, but it doesn't hurt to have these as option if not.
(now cue the post that says "well technically Red Hulk.... sigh)
But that's also the reason why we will probably never get one. Red Hulk is an easy repaint that will sell well because its a hulk vs a older general that will require a rather large amount of new tooling with limited reuse potential.
“Ha, that’s odd that he made the same typo TWICE and said that the General isn’t scheduled until Q2 2025. He clearly meant Q2 2024.”
*checks BBTS*
”….mother of God…”
We’re not going to get Count Ironmoon until 2030 at this rate 😫
Making the alt heads lookalikes seems like a pretty smart idea to me, a none-Red Hulk comic book Ross is unlikely to ever get made (at best we might get Harrison Ford Ross from BNW), so I see this figure easily getting some sales based on that fact alone.
Still, the figure feels a bit boring in a like focused on monsters, maybe they could've included a monster alt head or something.
Narratively, there's something neat about a normal human heading up a squad of monsters. From an action figure point of view, though, give him a cyborg hand or something.

It's worth noting Brown is a character from Eagle Force so him being a normal human makes sense
Boy, I remember when for a looong time the Resaurus/Plan B military dudes were the top of the 6" army guy range. Now we've got FMF, Valaverse, and Hasbro all pumping out generic army dudes in a single year. And like, they're all pretty competitive offerings who are learning from each other. Good time to be a collector.
I haven't 100% figured out what all I'm getting from this line, because the temptation to go all in would ruin me, but things like the general, the Phantom Corps and Delta Red, and the upcoming agents are all giving me some great options for generic military/men in black to have in my displays and I am here for it.
I might buy one of these soldiers. I doubt I'll army build any of this stuff, and likely wont buy the accessory pack. It looks on par with Classified and if GridIron is making the weapons I know they'll be sturdier than what Hasbro produces. My Desert Camo Snakeeyes had everything but his uzi warped and flimsy. Sure I can heat/cool it back to looking semi decent, but I also shouldn't have to. If this soldier had a monster-related gimmick I would probably be more inclined to buy. Maybe some 3rd party werewolf heads would work as I'm not married to the one's this line is providing on the jetpack soldier. He at least looks like he could operate alongside the Eraser character.
