General Marvel Legends

I just got the Werewolf by Night figure from Amazon today, and talk about bare bones. The figure is OK, but at the price these things go for nowadays would it be too much to ask for an extra head with his mouth closed? I know it comes with a BAF part, but those used to be considered a bonus, not an accessory. Also, except for the pants and the head, the figure appears to be total reuse of the Jackal figure (with visible pins in the elbows).

I guess I can complete the Legion of Monsters now, but Jack is going to be permanently screaming at everyone.

I did get a $3 refund on my Werewolf by Night figure from Amazon... down to $24 99. An alternate head would have been nice though.

 

[AceofKnaves]

It won’t close the mouth, but I have found that Werewolf by Night, like most teeth-baring/open-mouthed “monster” MLs recently, benefits greatly from a black paint “wash” on his teeth and inside his mouth; it brings out the detail and makes him way less cartoon-y. Did the same with with the heads on the Gamerverse Venom and also added some gloss Modge Podge for “wetness”, which I may do to WWBN as well.

When Hasbro made Destiny, it finally inspired me to build out the Brotherhood. Can't have Mystique without her.

This is emblematic of the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie problem we always talk about.

I need Pyro and Avalanche but ugh, pins, the very thought!

Paul Smith is like the perfect combo of Bernie Krigstein and Jaime Hernandez.

Same, although I'm proud to say I've managed to hold firm on not getting Blob. Although that sale price on Amazon right now ...

 

[The Scream Man]

Our F4 collections need a properly-engineered, well-sculpted, classic Mole Man posthaste. I really hope the rumor is true and he is indeed coming with a couple creepy moloids.

That would be my hope. Him in a multipack with a couple of decently articulated Moloids wouuld be awesome

 

[docsilence]

I know it makes sense for a werewolf to be baring his teeth but a closed/gritted teeth head would have been the TINIEST bit of effort with this figure. Unless of course they plan on reselling him to us next year with a different head.

I get the strategy of holding out on the big wants (even though I don't like it) but I really think stringing along the c-listers is a losing bet. Release the obscure team members in close proximity to each other and collectors will get the whole bunch. Maybe Hasbro is learning this lesson by releasing 6/7 Inhumans within 18 months of each other.

Blob is pretty great, and that's about as cheap as he's ever been! Do it, do it!

Jake, I am your density.

OK... so I always see lists poeple make of movie characters that haven't had figures made and I get the frustration. But just for fun I decided to list all of the characters in the MCU who do have figures but no corresponding comic based figure of the character has been made and friends, that list is longer than I realized...

As 3.75 inch figures there are:
Hogun
Fandral
Volstagg
Kurse

and as 6 inch figures:

Baron Mordo
The Collector
Mantis
Nebula
Ego
Korg
Grandmaster
Heimdall
Surtur
M'baku
Killmonger
Dora Milaje
Everett Ross
Ebony Maw
Cull Obsidian
Proxima Midnight
Corvus Glaive
Yon Rogg
Talos (the untamed)
Death Dealer
Ajak
Makkari
Kingo
Sprite
Gilgamesh
Thena
Kro
America Chavez
Rintrah
Attuma
Nakia (Malice)
Cassie Lang / Stature
Khonshu
Jimmy Woo
Falcon II / Joaquin Torres

Thats a healthy list. 39 characters that got the movie based figure treatment but no comic figure love.... Thats at least 5 waves worth...

I didn't count the characters that got movie figures but don't have comic counterparts like Luis from Ant-Man or Xialing and Katy from the Shang Chi film.

 

[SDcomics]

@PantherCult, that's impressive work, sir.

Mordo, Mantis, Attuma, Collector, Man-Ape ... those are some glaring omissions in the comic line.

 

[renfield75]

That list makes me sad and wish we had even HALF of those characters in comic form by now.

But to be fair, we did actually get comic Kate Bishop as Hawkeye

Technically Kate Bishop has a comic accurate figure. I believe that she was part of a 3pack, from 10 or so years ago.


Nevermind, I see that @renfield75 beat me to it. lol
