Agreed.
And let's not forget these two.
I am a huge Golden Age fan as some of you are aware. And these figures hurt. To this day they make me cry. Rivers of tears. Bitter, bitter tears. An ocean of sorrow. A galaxy of agony. An infinity of heartache.
In case I'm not being clear, these two figures are horrible. They're not even an attempt. It's like Hasbro walked into a grade school art class and said "Hey, how would you kids like to try your hands at making action figures?"
I'll be the rest of my life trying to figure out what Hasbro was thinking when they first got the Marvel license. If I had to guess, because I really don't know, the higher ups probably looked at the 3 3/4" scale as their bread and butter. And why not? That size always worked well for them, ever since the Kenner days. So they poured all their resources into the 1:18 Marvel Universe line and gave the 1:12 Legends line to Mrs. Stifler's 3rd grade art class. Hasbro just did not understand the Legends fan base and the dedication we have to that line and that scale. When they finally woke up, after the success Mattel was having with their DC Universe Classics line and someone threw ice cold water in their faces, we got Legends back. But the damage was almost done.
There are still figures that need apologies. The aforementioned Yellowjacket, Hercules and Annihilus come to mind.
A Wrecker and Wrecking Crew that don't look like they got ahold of some Pym particles would be nice.
And I know this was later in the game and they should have known better, but a more comic accurate Super-Adaptoid would be wonderful.
Okay, I think I'm done bitching now.
