I'm still unclear on how this impacts the de minimis exemption. The big Medicare-killing bill passed by Republicans this summer got rid of the de minimis by legislation, but I don't think that takes effect until 2027. IEEPA authority removed the exemption effective immediately. Given that the...

They've been signaling the whole time that they'll pivot to some other pretense to try to keep tariffs imposed. No way any company makes adjustments to their pricing based on this decision alone. Maybe the next tariffs case can be decided at the breakneck speed of less than a full fucking year.

A remake of the Blob wave figure is far and away the most important, and could easily be the last Herc I ever need. Buuuut, now that they're dipping their toes into 90s Avengers, that version of Hercules is also on my radar. The football pads version is so ridiculous, which is exactly why it...

Yeah I'm on the Deep Discount train as well. Like Lucid said they used to be an absolute steal on new figures - that's leveled out a bit, but they still do decent coupons semi-regularly and are otherwise solid. Glad you got Power Princess!

Exactly where I'm at. He's lived on my desk since I got him and gotten way more mess around time than anything else I got from ML last year - it really is a fantastic figure. He's also never going in my display. He's not my figure of the year because I value uniqueness quite highly, and a...

Picked up Cardiac and I think he came out beautifully. I'm surprised how much I like the deep blue color on him. I like that they kept the EKG lines unbroken throughout the sculpt as much as possible. In the legs especially - we've seen plenty of figures in the past with obvious places to hide...

No shame in that! It's easily the most exciting of the set of MtG releases in my opinion - and luckily for my wallet, he was the only must-have.

FYI Man-Wolf can be had for around $22 on Amazon resale. It also went on sale through Amazon proper for around that same price recently, and almost certainly will again. Those MtG sets ARE outrageously priced, but luckily Man-Wolf is the one most guaranteed to get discounted to something acceptable.

Amazing Yamaguchi made this version a few years ago which was my first exposure to the character. I think the gold and black design looks slick - and the figure actually has a metallic look to it unlike so many Iron Mans - so I'm happy enough to get him if I find a price I can live with.

I'm excited enough about not-Sasquatch that I actually watched a video review. Thanks for posting it! I'm ready for all those matching custom Byrne-style Sasquatch heads to start popping up when this thing releases. C'moon, customizers.

It's not a straight repaint - the torso with the sculpted spider emblem is new. Not defending the price, just pointing it out. Legendsverse has the 2022 Iron Spider retailing at $33.99. Superior Spider-Man in the 85th Anniversary wave was $29.99 in pre-Trump Tax times. Not shocked they pushed...

I'm pretty sure it was your reviews on the matter that made me decide to save my money in the first place. I need to see near-universal praise before I'm willing to put up that amount of scratch.

Hell. I had some moments of regret about passing on him last time, but for $200 after tax + shipping I think I'm good. Are there any significant differences from the previous release?

Thank you! Very cool looking. That thing would have been massive to fit a Leader figure inside as drawn.

I vaguely remember seeing the art for Mecha Hulk at some point back in the day. Would love to see it again if you (or anybody) knows where to find it!

Yeah I'm on team "don't care about the giant gun." I wouldn't deride someone for wanting it since it is such an iconic panel, but it's a massive chunk of plastic that we'd end up paying extra for and would just end up in my parts bin. There's no shortage of generic sci-fi cannons out there -...

He was clearly based on a Hulk / Titanium Man / Gorilla hybrid with those arms: https://legendsverse.com/my-collection/1226012 Mine is faded all to hell but I still love it. That seat in the back for Gremlin to pilot him is definitely inspired by Titanium Man like Reno said. I probably...

They do multiple price points on the other retro packaging options so no reason they can’t do it here. But, I still think there’s a decent chance that the other two are big guys (Hulk 2099 and Cosmic/Mecha Hulk) and Samson comes in a similar way as Red She-Hulk.

Some Morlocks / Mutant Massacre figures would not be unwelcome. This year is the 40th anniversary after all...

I love that She-Hulk has become a mainstay of the line. Including the MCU figure we've gotten like 6 She-Hulk figures since 2020 or so. I just wish they'd give those bodies proper waist and butterfly articulation. Maybe the inevitable "modern" She-Hulk (previously made in the Blob wave) will get...

I was coming here to say the same thing - they mention Abomination as the one previously revealed figure before Smart Hulk, and two more coming on this packaging. No mention of Red She-Hulk as part of this "program" of Hulk figures. Whatever the thinking is, more Hulk figures = good stuff. If...

Decent scale shot of Thor next to Bucky Cap and Extremis Iron Man.

Yeah, it's weird that it's still Hulk branded packaging - just not in the same retro style.I wouldn't be surprised if only the big guys (rumored Mecha Hulk and Hulk 2099) come on the special packaging.

It's also just the arms and feet that are reused - literally everything else is new.

I'm with you guys in that I'm a pretty happy camper this week Legends-wise. A bunch of stuff that I'm excited to get, most of it done in a way I'm happy or even impressed with, and a handful of things I'm genuinely surprised by. Plus, any evidence of increased adoption of double ball torsos in...
