Marvel Legends in 2023 General Discussion

[EnigmaticClarity]

The giant Cassie is such a big spoiler.

Otherwise the wave mostly looks great--or at least the figures look good, but I'm not familiar with most of the characters.

Why are we getting almost the same Ultron again? What's different with this one?

The difference is....cheap reuse

But is it different? All I see are minor differences--and is that a new head? Does this one match some comic version of Ultron I'm unaware of differing from the one we got in the Ursa Major wave?

Trying to give them the benefit of my doubt that they changed almost nothing and put it in a wave knowing that if we want the BAF we'll have to re-buy the same figure again. Which I actually don't mind much since Ultron can create multiple versions of his body, so another Ultron for the army is mostly fine by me. But if he is from a different comic version of Ultron I'd like to know which it is.

Outside head and paint, looks same to me. Just minor differences

Yeah, it looks a little different than the last one, and I do like it for what it is, but they really got you if you just want it for the BAF piece.

Differences with new Ultron:
-new head with recessed red-glow “lighting”, single attachment posts (rather than double) for the antennae, different “expression”. *edit: also smooth forehead, no rivets. This definitely covers other looks than the initial release, and perhaps is a more “all purpose” classic Ultron head, but of course your mileage may vary.
-elimination of the very fragile silver paint over the whole body in favor of silver plastic without paint. For me, at least, that is a HUGE upgrade.

They were gonna reuse this body, it was a given, and it pretty much only works for Ultron. That being the case, they did an amazing job at an upgrade here, at least in my opinion.

[JPC]

Yeah, they stripped off the paint and gave it a new head. Which looks a bit Perez to me, so that works. NOT OKAY to re-release in a BAF wave. Wasn't he missing some hand options before? Hope he gets what was missing previously, and an extra power accessory.

Evangeline's likeness looks good! Cassie's ponytail looks better in plastic than it does in the trailers. Will reserve judgement on the Paul Rudd likeness until a non-highly edited render.

I wonder if we're getting four comic characters because they had to rush these into production so throw in the old Ultron mold! Or if it was always like that. Hopefully Janet and Hank are coming separately.

Cassie is a big spoiler or Cassie is a BIG spoiler? Emphasis? Honestly, I hadn't even thought of that because the character's been around for 20+ years?

It's possible Ultron doesn't come with a BAF piece. There are 7 figures, and BAFs are typically 6 pieces. He could be the double-pack, but I imagine MCU Ant-Man himself will be the double pack.

Cassie growing large isn't a spoiler. The character has been around a long while. She's even suited up in a super suit, so you know she's going to use her powers.

Only Crossfire and Egghead for me. And maybe Ultron. I've got a handful of the IM wave Ultron, but this one could be their leader. Egghead should have been stockier, but I understand them not wanting to make a new torso/body for him. I'm going to wait for Crossfire and Egghead to come down in price. Gonna try the waiting game this year for a lot of ML product to go on sale, as not much revealed so far is high demand stuff for me.

[september_death]

I’d say she’s a spoiler. Giant man would have been a spoiler for Civil War. We don’t know if this Cassie is modeled after Stature or Stinger, but it’s not surprising she can grow.

Ultron definitely feels like a cheap move if there’s a BAF piece. There’s no great answer; we don’t have a definitive Vision, and people would complain about being forced to but another Ultron to get one. Ditto for Yellowjacket. An army builder would have been ideal, but that program is seemingly defunct.

Looks like it is Antman, yeah.

[Boy Wonder]

I feel silly to be so excited for Egghead. Great random addition to the villains shelf. Gives me hope for the likes of Puppet Master and other villains who might not be all that exciting to look at but still fill a role.

Depending on what the finish looks like in-hand, may pick up Ultron. I painted the mouth on mine red already, but a Perez head and proper crackle in the mouth are nice sellers.

[Akatsuki]

Is the new head sculpt on Ultron depicting a different model from the BOTBG wave and is it comic accurate?

Reminds me of Ultron’s look in Rage of Ultron

This version of Moonstone is the last member needed to complete Egghead's Masters of Evil, plus she adds to Zemo's team as well:

Yes please! It's high time we finished off our first iteration of the MoE in Legends. I never expected it to be Egghead's team, but I'm not complaining! Really hope Moonstone is on the horizon - the Walgreens rerelease was quite a tease.
