General Marvel Legends

Us looking at our collections be like:

I've got around 220 total figures displayed on a single large Ikea Kallax, and I reckon that constitutes around 95% of my collection. Not too bad. Stuff cycles in and out as my interests move around (and back and forth).

I don't know what the number is. Having recently sold my bins of DCUC and other various collections, including old Toy Biz 5 inch stuff from childhood - and about 450 outdated Toy Biz Legends and Classics which were still on my shelves. It was pretty liberating, but what's left over - 11 display cases of Legends, and random shelves of Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Metal Gear, Halo, Ghostbusters and GI Joe's feels a lot more concise and focused. Also, divorcing from the "completist" mentality means getting rid of figures as they are replaced by newer Hasbro offerings like Astonishing Colossus, Kitty, Constrictor and Classic Falcon over the next month alone. Highly recommended for anyone who feels like they're drowning. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be and pretty lucrative.

I track my collection with LegendsVerse. It's not comprehensive, but 90% of my collection is in their database and I'm sitting at just over 1000. That doesn't include any vintage Transformers, He-Man, or Star Wars or anything current that I'm planning on selling.

Who's gonna get a figure first?

Swordsman I (Jacques DuQuesne)

Prime Cotati (plant that married Mantis taking the form of Jacques DuQuesne)

Swordsman II (Philip Javert)

Swordsman (Heroes Reborn)

Swordsman III (Andreas Van Strucker)

Swordsman IV (criminal in Captain America #696 in a one-time appearance)

Jack Duquesne (MCU)

 

[BasilElks]

I'd prefer Swordsman 1, but my prediction is the MCU one.

**Looks at my literal thousands of figures in my basement room** - W.T.F. should I feel like, then?

Once you cross the Rubicon, it's all the same. You just hit a certain threshold where you have too many tchotchkes. Then it's outside of the norm for every other human being.

I fear it, but I also embrace it. That's what we're about here.

I really don't understand how you've been collecting as long as you have and only have 123 figures. That's like 5 figures a year for Legends. Good for you, but I do not have that kind of willpower to hold back on purchases or the drive to sell off that much of my collection.

MCU version looks like something from SpyKids.

I'm currently sitting at 2,649 figures in my collection. Been collecting my whole life, but not in the really serious and borderline unhealthy way that I do now until about 2017, when I stumbled across a Vance Astro Marvel Legends at Walgreens and was like, what?! a Vance Astro action figure?! I must have it!

Before that day I probably only had around 100 figures from decades of collecting here and there. I was married for a while in my 20s and my wife was more supportive of my comic book addiction than my toy collecting, so that was a bit of a lull. After we split I had to get back on my feet financially and mentally, I gotta say, getting heavy into toy collecting has certainly helped the latter but not the former. Definitely much better for my mental health than the years I spent partying.

Anywho, I'm definitely proud of my collection, I play with toys pretty much every day and I'm not planning on ever stopping. A toy collector on a comedy podcast I listened to last night said he will be collecting right up until his last breath, like "buy it now, click, *croak*" and I fully agree with the sentiment. Plastic crack forever.

That poster doesn’t do him justice. That’s his appearance in the Hawkeye series, which was his MCU introduction. He’s since appeared in Daredevil Born Again, and he’s had some decent scenes, which I wouldn’t compare to Spy Kids. Jack Dalton is also a great actor, who played a very formidable Lalo Salamanca in Better Call Saul. If he can bring some of that energy to Jacque Duquesne, there would be zero association with a character in a kids movie.

 

[Chooch555]

Can I get all of the Swordsmen please?

 

[Gothneo]

ll seems close to the black knight in a few ways… I could see hadn’t reusing parts and making no one happy with a one off

 

[Dek]

This is extremely eye-opening for me. How do you guys display and pose over a 1,000 figures? I won't keep a figure if it can't be displayed. I assume that's not the same for you guys.

I just posted a new rumor/leak list in the Rumor/Leak list thread.
If true, many of us X fans will be very, very happy with a few never-been-made-before highly demanded characters...
